Based on ratings from 1,437 global CX leaders, vendors were evaluated on both customer sentiment and quantitative measurements of real business impact they experienced using RingCentral. This recognition underscores RingCentral’s position as a proven platform for customer engagement and workforce intelligence. RingCentral is the only company to achieve leadership in both Metrigy reports.

“Metrigy’s top recognition for RingCX across both CCaaS and WEM is a powerful, customer-validated signal of RingCentral’s leadership in the customer engagement market.”

What makes this RingCX recognition particularly meaningful:

• CCaaS MetriStar Top Provider: RingCentral was named one of only six providers to earn the top-tier award, requiring both above-average customer sentiment scores (overall CCaaS average: 8.38 out of 10, up from 8.05 in 2025) and above-average business success improvements. Metrigy specifically highlighted RingCentral as the top performer for enabling revenue growth among CCaaS platform users.
• WEM MetriStar Top Provider: RingCX excelled across key customer sentiment indicators. Customers rated RingWEM highly for its robust technical features, overall platform reliability, and seamless integrations with core business apps. RingCentral stood out on customer sentiment, earning the highest overall score among all companies. It also earned top overall scores for reliability and analytics. Only three providers globally earned Top Provider recognition in 2026.

“The MetriStar Top Provider Awards reflect what matters most: real-world outcomes that drive business success,” said Robin Gareiss, CEO and Principal Analyst at Metrigy. “RingCentral performed very well in two key CX platforms, CCaaS and WEM. Combined with its AI capabilities and UCaaS platform, RingCentral is delivering a communications ecosystem that drives measurable improvements in revenue, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency at the highest levels.”

Metrigy noted that RingCentral RingCX is delivering on the promise of an integrated, AI-forward employee experience. Its WEM suite effectively surfaces actionable analytics that lead to improved agent and supervisor performance. Additionally, RingCentral differentiates itself in CCaaS by providing RingCX^™ on top of RingEX^™ business communications suite, natively unifying external customer engagement with internal tools like a personal AI assistant, business phone, business SMS, team chat, and AI meetings. By bringing these solutions together, RingCentral enables companies to use a single hub that bridges the gap between frontline customer service representatives and the broader organization.

The CCaaS and WEM reports are based on Metrigy’s Customer Experience MetriCast 2026 study, a global survey of 1,437 CX leaders across 10 countries and 37 vertical industries. The study gathered detailed information on CX technology adoption plans, current and planned spending, provider adoption, plans for changing providers (and why), applications in use, provider ratings, and business success. The Metrigy research found that AI was the technology that companies said most improved their customer service experience in the last year. Not surprisingly, 85% of these companies are increasing AI spending in 2026.
