RingSync vs Calliente
Calliente puts the Microsoft 365 directory into the phone's contacts and updates it once a day. RingSync does the same for Entra ID and Google Workspace, at the frequency you choose, and manages several directories from one dashboard.
Two apps, two scopes
Both apps write the directory into iPhone and Android contacts, and install from the stores or through an MDM. The difference is what surrounds them: RingSync gives the IT team a dashboard to connect several directories, choose groups, share a directory across subsidiaries and track who has installed the app.

What it changes for a group
If head office is on Microsoft 365 and a subsidiary on Google Workspace, RingSync connects both and can show head office's directory to each subsidiary. A shared directory costs no extra seat.
When someone leaves, you see on their record that the directory has been erased from their phone.
