Star2Star vs RingCentral

Star2Star provided innovative services to managed service providers, small and big businesses, and other organizations from the beginning of cloud-based Unified Communication (UC) solutions. Blended Architecture, their secret sauce, brought together all their communication tools—video, audio, fax, IM, and presence management—into one user-friendly platform.

With tens of thousands of sites throughout the globe, Star2Star served approximately 10,000 enterprises in a wide range of sectors. A recent customer satisfaction study found that they maintained an extraordinary reputation for quality, earning 92%. This was far higher than the typical ratings in the telecom sector.

Star2Star ceased operations after being acquired by Sangoma in 2021. However, their services are still accessible through Sangoma's portfolio. Anyone interested in learning more can peruse Sangoma's most recent product catalog and support materials.
