The panel's verdict

Ringover is a cloud phone system with call-centre and AI call analysis from SAS BJT Partners – Ringover Group of Montrouge, France. Its best marks come in the contact centre, where scores run 7 to 7: a power dialer and call robot, listen-in, whisper and barge-in, a real-time dashboard with per-agent statistics, and Empower AI transcription and summaries are documented. Integration and administration is next at 6 to 7, crediting a REST API with a downloadable OpenAPI specification, webhooks and SCIM 2.0 provisioning from Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, plus CRM click-to-call and call archiving. Apps and devices is the weakest product area at 3 to 4 — the captured pages name no device makers, provisioning process or Microsoft Teams calling — and calling and routing spans 4 to 6, with no public information on emergency calls with caller location or voicemail-to-email. Judges did not split sharply; sovereignty spans 5 to 7, higher scores crediting the vendor's own Paris data centres with hosting not subcontracted, lower ones wanting a data processing agreement and subprocessor detail. No prices appear on the public pages.

Speaks for it

  • Contact-centre capability is documented end to end: power dialer and call robot for automated call and SMS campaigns, listen-in, whisper and barge-in, a real-time dashboard with per-agent statistics, and Empower AI transcriptions and summaries.
  • An unusually open integration surface: a documented REST API with downloadable OpenAPI specification, webhooks, seven permission categories per API key, and SCIM 2.0 provisioning from Okta or Microsoft Entra ID.
  • CRM integrations are documented for click-to-call, caller data popping on inbound calls, and automatic archiving of calls and recordings into the contact record.
  • Operator-grade network facts are published: ARCEP telephone-provider classification since 2005, a self-managed RIPE network (AS201188) with redundant IP transit, interconnects with Orange, SFR, COLT and BICS, DTLS-SRTP call encryption, a 99.95% availability figure and a 4.45 MOS.
  • The captured pages state that customer data is hosted in the vendor's own Paris data centres and that hosting is not passed to a subcontractor.

Report an error

Held against it

  • Apps and devices scores 3 to 4: the captured pages name no device makers or auto-provisioning process, and we found no public information on Microsoft Teams calling or the company number on outgoing mobile calls.
  • Calling and routing has unverified gaps: we found no public information on emergency calls with caller location, voicemail-to-email, number blocks, or how long number porting takes.
  • Compliance assurance is partly unevidenced: we found no public information on ISO 27001 or comparable certification, SLA credits behind the 99.95% figure, a public status page, toll-fraud protection, or retention and consent for recordings.
  • The sovereignty chain is only partly evidenced: no published data processing agreement, and no subprocessor detail for AI transcription, SMS, support or payment appears.
  • Pricing transparency scores 0 to 2: no per-user, per-plan, number or per-minute prices appear, and the free trial's terms are not stated.

Report an error

Best for

  • You run a sales or support team that needs a ready contact centre — power dialing, campaign automation, live coaching and per-agent statistics earned the highest scores anywhere on the table.
  • Your agents work software-first, calling from browsers (Chrome, Safari or Firefox) and iOS or Android apps rather than a desk-phone fleet.
  • You build on APIs: the documented REST API, webhooks and SCIM 2.0 provisioning from Okta or Microsoft Entra ID suit teams integrating telephony into their own CRM or tooling.
  • You want a French-registered vendor whose captured pages state hosting in its own Paris data centres with hosting not passed to a subcontractor.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You are replacing a German multi-site PBX — the judges found no public information on emergency calls to 110/112 with registered location, call pickup, holiday routing or the porting timeline.
  • Your office depends on desk-phone fleets or Microsoft Teams calling — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
  • You need certified assurance before signing — we found no public information on ISO 27001, SLA credits or a public status page with incident history, and network and compliance scores span 5 to 6.

Calling, numbers & call routing

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the phone system does with a call: local geographic numbers in the customer's own area code and in other countries, number blocks and porting of existing numbers, extensions, IVR menus, queues, ring groups and hunt groups, time-based and holiday routing, call forwarding and transfer, voicemail to email, fax to email, conference calls, call recording, call park and pickup, busy lamp fields, caller ID per user or team, and emergency calls (110 and 112) with the caller's location.

0 — Places no phone calls on the public telephone network; a chat or meeting tool with internal calling only.

3 — Phone numbers and extensions with forwarding and voicemail; IVR, queues, time-based routing and porting are basic or not described.

5 — Local numbers in the customer's area code with porting documented, IVR menus, queues and ring groups, time-based and holiday routing, voicemail to email, call transfer and pickup, call recording, fax or fax to email, and emergency calling described.

8 — Number blocks and international numbers in many countries, a visual call flow editor, skills or priority routing, call park and busy lamp fields, recording rules per user or queue with consent announcements, emergency calls with a registered location per user or site, and the porting process and its timelines documented.

10 — Call handling a large multi-site company runs on: every feature above with number provisioning and porting by API, routing by caller data from the CRM, location-aware emergency calling for home offices, and the full feature set documented per plan with its limits.

Porting is advertised as free, and IVR menus, custom greetings in sixteen languages, call groups with hold music, time-based routing, recording and fax are described, plus unlimited calls to over 110 destinations and numbers in 65 countries. We found no public information on voicemail or voicemail to email, emergency calls to 110 and 112, call park or pickup, and the porting timeline itself is not stated — a gap that matters for switching off our old box without losing the letterhead number. 1 2 3

Report an error

The IT Administrator

IVR, call groups routed by competence, time-based routing, free number porting, call recording, fax with unlimited receiving, and landline or mobile numbers in 65 countries with unlimited calls to over 110 destinations are all documented. We found no public information on emergency call handling with a registered location, voicemail-to-email, call pickup or holiday routing, which a German multi-site operation cannot do without. 2 3

The Contact Centre Lead

Free number porting, IVR with announcements in sixteen languages, call groups by competency, time-based routing, call recording and fax with unlimited receiving are all described, and landline and mobile numbers in 65 countries would cover our German and English hotline. We found no public information on emergency calls (110/112) with location, voicemail to email, call park and pickup or a visual call-flow editor, so I place it just above the middle of the range. 2 3

The Inside Sales Lead

For my DACH team the core is documented: virtual landline and mobile numbers in 65 countries, free number porting, IVR, call groups and time-based routing, call recording, conference calls, and fax with unlimited receiving. But we found no public information on voicemail-to-email, number blocks, busy-lamp fields, call park, or emergency calling with a registered location, so it stays below the level I'd hand a multi-site buyer. 1 2 3

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

IVR, call groups, time-based routing, call recording, fax with unlimited receiving and conference calls are documented, porting is described as free, and landline and mobile numbers are offered in 65 countries — enough to structure incoming lines for six practices. We found no public information on voicemail delivery, number blocks, or emergency calling with caller location, which I would want in writing before switching patient lines. 2 3 5

The Skeptic

Numbers in 65 countries with free number porting, IVR, call groups routed by competence, queues with royalty-free hold music and VIP skip-the-line, time-based routing, recording, and fax with unlimited receiving — the core is there. But I found no public information on emergency calls with the caller's location, voicemail to email, number blocks, or how long porting in and back out actually takes; "first calls after only 3 minutes" is activation, not porting. 1 2 3 7

Apps, desk phones & Microsoft Teams

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where the calls are made and taken: desktop and mobile softphone apps, a browser client, presence, desk phones and DECT handsets from named makers (Yealink, Snom, Gigaset, Poly, Cisco) provisioned automatically, devices for sale or rent, the mobile phone as an extension with the company number shown, fixed-mobile convergence, Microsoft Teams calling through Direct Routing or Operator Connect, headset support, and the apps' ratings and update notes.

0 — No app and no device support; calls only through hardware the customer configures by hand.

3 — A softphone or mobile app; desk phones, Teams calling and the company number on mobile are basic or not described.

5 — Desktop, mobile and browser apps with presence, desk phones from named makers provisioned automatically, the company number shown on outgoing mobile calls, call handover between devices, and a Microsoft Teams integration or connector.

8 — A list of supported desk and DECT phones with auto-provisioning documented, devices sold or rented, Microsoft Teams calling through Direct Routing or Operator Connect with certification stated, fixed-mobile convergence with a SIM or mobile network, and app features documented per platform.

10 — Every endpoint a workforce uses, managed from one place: desk, DECT, mobile, browser and Teams with feature parity stated, device fleet management and firmware updates from the portal, and the app's accessibility and offline behaviour documented.

The Office Manager

iOS, Android and browser calling from Chrome, Safari or Firefox are documented, and existing IP telephones are said to work with the cloud service. We found no public information on desk phone makers, automatic provisioning, Microsoft Teams calling, or the company number shown on outgoing mobile calls, so I cannot confirm our desk phone fleet survives the move. 1 2 3

The Inside Sales Lead

iOS and Android apps plus browser calling over WebRTC with no installation are documented, and generic IP-phone support is mentioned. We found no public information on desk phones from named makers with auto-provisioning, Microsoft Teams calling, or whether the mobile app shows the company number on outgoing calls — the last one is exactly what my reps need at trade fairs. 1 2 3

Calls run from iOS and Android apps, from any browser via WebRTC with click-to-call in Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and on existing IP phones via SIP, with desktop notifications. The captured pages name no device makers or auto-provisioning process, and we found no public information on Microsoft Teams calling or fixed-mobile convergence, so a practice standardised on Teams or desk phone fleets has little to plan on. 2 3 5

Call centre, analytics & AI

How this is scored

How a team that lives on the phone is run: ACD queues with skills and priorities, agent states and wrap-up time, a wallboard, live monitoring with listen, whisper and barge, callbacks instead of waiting, outbound and power dialers, call statistics and reports per agent and queue, missed-call handling, AI transcription, summaries and sentiment, an AI receptionist or voicebot, and SMS or WhatsApp beside calls.

0 — No queues or call statistics of any kind; calls ring until someone answers.

3 — A simple queue and a call history; agent states, live monitoring, reports and AI features are basic or not described.

5 — Queues with agent log-in and log-out, wrap-up time, a wallboard or live view, call statistics per agent and queue, missed-call lists with callback, call recording for coaching, and AI transcription or summaries offered.

8 — Skills-based routing, listen, whisper and barge, callback in queue, outbound or power dialers, scheduled and exportable reports, AI transcription, summaries and sentiment with the languages listed, an AI receptionist or voicebot, and SMS or messaging channels beside calls.

10 — A contact centre that replaces a separate suite: workforce management and quality scoring, omnichannel routing, real-time AI coaching, and every AI feature documented with its model provider, data handling and an opt-out.

CRM integration, API & administration

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the phone system fits the company: integrations with CRM and helpdesk tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zendesk, Microsoft Dynamics) with click-to-call, caller pop-ups and automatic call logging, a documented REST API and webhooks for call events, SIP trunks for an existing PBX and bring-your-own-carrier, an admin portal with roles, single sign-on (SAML) and SCIM, two-factor authentication, multi-site and multi-company set-up, bulk user import, audit logs, and partner or reseller accounts.

0 — No integrations and no administration beyond one login per number.

3 — A web portal to manage users and numbers and one or two integrations; the API, roles and SSO are basic or not described.

5 — Integrations with the common CRM and helpdesk tools with click-to-call and call logging, a documented REST API and webhooks, an admin portal with roles, two-factor authentication, several sites in one account, and SIP trunking or a connection to an existing PBX.

8 — Caller pop-ups and call data written to the CRM record, an API covering users, numbers, routing and call records, single sign-on (SAML) and SCIM provisioning, audit logs, bulk import and templates, partner or reseller accounts with sub-customers, and SIP trunks documented for named PBX systems.

Reliability, call security & telecoms compliance

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether the service holds on a bad day and in an audit: redundant data centres and carrier connections, a stated availability or SLA with credits, the vendor's own public status page and incident history, call quality measures (codecs, quality monitoring), encryption of signalling and media (TLS and SRTP), registration as a telecoms provider with the national regulator (Bundesnetzagentur or its EU equivalent), the secrecy of telecommunications, recording consent and retention, emergency call handling for remote users, fraud protection against toll fraud, and security certifications such as ISO 27001.

0 — Nothing on availability, security or the provider's status as a telecoms operator.

3 — A claim of high availability or "German data centres"; encryption, the SLA, the status page and regulatory status are basic or not described.

5 — Redundant data centres named by country, a public status page, TLS and SRTP encryption offered, the provider's registration with the national regulator or the carrier behind the numbers stated, a stated availability, and call recording rules described.

8 — An SLA with credits published, the incident history public, encryption on by default with the protocols documented, ISO 27001 or comparable certification with its scope, toll fraud protection and spending limits, emergency calls from softphones and home offices documented, and retention of recordings and call records stated.

10 — Carrier-grade operation evidenced: geo-redundant platforms with failover tested and published, end-to-end encryption options, independent audits (ISO 27001, BSI C5 or SOC 2) with reports available, and the regulatory and lawful-interception obligations explained in plain language.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where call records, voicemails, recordings, transcripts, contacts and account data are stored and processed, which carriers carry the calls, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, carriers and number providers, SMS gateways, AI transcription and summary models, email delivery, support and payment tools). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. International numbers and carriers needed to reach other countries are part of what the product does and are not counted against it; where the data is stored and who processes it is. A self-hosted phone system the customer runs on its own European servers counts as the customer's chain, whatever the vendor's seat.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (AI transcription, SMS, support, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated — or a self-hosted edition documented that keeps every record on the customer's own servers.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting, carriers and every subprocessor including the AI models, or a self-hosted edition with no call home, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user or extension and per plan, what numbers, number blocks and porting cost, which calls are included in a flat rate (landline, mobile, international) and what the rest cost per minute, which features (call centre, recording, AI, CRM integrations, Teams calling) cost extra, device prices or rent, set-up fees, minimum term and notice period, and VAT.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call or a partner quote.

3 — A starting price per user exists, but what numbers, minutes, porting and add-ons cost is unclear.

5 — Plans are public with their price per user and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (number blocks, porting, international minutes, call centre seats, AI or recording) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every plan priced publicly with its scaling rule, a per-minute price list for calls outside the flat rate, numbers, porting and devices priced, add-ons priced, set-up fees, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of users, numbers, sites and call minutes, with every add-on, device, porting and support fee and the cancellation and number-export terms published.

The Office Manager

On the pages we read, the only pricing-related items are a free-trial button and a request-a-demo form; no price per user, per plan, per number or per minute appears anywhere in the captures. The partners could not compute a monthly bill from the public pages alone. 1 2 4 7

The IT Administrator

Across the captured homepage, feature, integrations, security and legal-notice pages we found no prices for plans, numbers, number porting, minutes or add-ons. The purchase path shown is a demo request and a free-trial button with no trial details stated. 1 4 7

The Contact Centre Lead

On the pages we read we found no public information on prices — no per-user or per-plan price, no number costs, no setup fee or minimum term — only a free-trial button without details, a demo request, free number porting and the statement that calls to more than 110 countries are unlimited. With plan-gated features visible in the API documentation but no published figures, I cannot compute what eighteen agents plus a hotline would cost us per year. 2 3 4

The Inside Sales Lead

Nothing I can budget with: the captured pages name plan features like unlimited calls to more than 110 destinations and even an API error showing features gated by subscription plan, but we found no public price per user, per number, for porting, or for the call-centre and AI options. The only entry points shown are a demo request and a free-trial button with no details attached. 1 4 5 7

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The captured pages show a free-trial button and demo requests, describe number porting as free and unlimited calls to more than 110 destinations, and the API documentation confirms features gated by plan. No price per user or per plan, no number or add-on prices, no per-minute list, and nothing on set-up fees, minimum term, notice or VAT is published on the pages we read, so the real annual cost of a practice's phone system is not computable from them. 1 2 4 7

The Skeptic

No price appears anywhere I read — no per-user figure, no plan table, no per-minute list for anything outside the flat rate, nothing on numbers, porting or devices; the whole funnel is "Demo anfordern" and a "Kostenlos testen" button whose trial terms are not stated. The only pricing-adjacent fact is scope, not cost: unlimited calls to over 110 countries. A buyer cannot compute the first month from public pages, let alone year two. 1 2 3 4 7
