About this report

The Forrester Wave: Unified-Communications-As-A-Service Platforms, Q3 2025 evaluates the most significant UCaaS platform providers, assessing how each measures up to help buyers select the right one for their needs. The UCaaS market continues to expand what unification means, bridging communication types, product lines including CCaaS, and vendors. Forrester evaluates vendors across three dimensions: current offering, strategy, and customer feedback, and classifies them as Leaders, Strong Performers, or Contenders. Key purchase considerations include reliability and resiliency, full unification support with cross-vendor interoperability, and useful AI that improves core communications while connecting intent to action. The Forrester Wave UCaaS evaluation is a key reference for technology and business leaders evaluating cloud communications investments.
