Does Cisco's Survival Remote Telephony not work as advertised? Or I
wonder if it was a case of it wasn't "good enough"?

I believe our corporate standard will be Avaya on big campuses and Cisco
on smaller branches. I'm not a big proponent of VoIP yet so we'll see.

I can't answer a question that needs to be posed to the person that
made the quote. What I can say is that this cannot necessarily be
considered the same thing.

1) If they eventually went with a "hybrid" solution that means there
was something about a non-hybrid that they didn't find attractive.
Having some VoIP is different from having all VoIP.

2) Having a survivable gateway doesn't do you any good if your local
network is down. Your sets still have to somehow get to the gateway
don't they? So having a backup for when the WAN goes down is hardly
what I would say is a solution to "what happens when the data network
goes down." It only solves one part of the puzzle.

Probably for some of the same reasons ML didn't want to entrust every
last thing to the stability of their data network, right? Lets all be
honest...data networks are just not at the same level of reliability
as traditional voice networks, except if you torture the hell out of
the numbers. I cannot fault anyone for having some skepticism.
