Google is not my favorite business, and they have a reputation for suddenly shutting services down. I migrated to OpenPhone from google voice because of this worry. However, after over a year of dealing with OpenPhone problems, I wish had just stayed with google voice.

The OpenPhone UI was exactly what we were looking for. Seemed to be the most intuitive and at a great price for the features that we were looking for. We have a unique model, so there weren't too many services that provided the exact features that we needed. OpenPhone seemed to …

OpenPhone is easier to use, and allows our own recordings to be uploaded for voicemails. Grasshopper is more expensive and harder to use.
Chose Quo
OpenPhone is just as good, if not better than all the big boys, and gives you premium features at no extra cost. You cannot beat their amazing price and if you give them a shot, you will be glad you did. Why pay $40-50/mo for a business line in 2022? The world has changed, get …

OP has better call quality (and tons of other features) compared to the Verizon plan we used.

It's not even a comparison. OpenPhone blows the competitors out of the water.

Likelihood to Recommend
With the calls, since it allows taking so many at once, that's great, but I would love it if there were call transcripts because sometimes I have 4 people on the line and can get confused or miss details. It can also be confusing when you put someone on hold and then go back to them. Also, I start talking after I hit the unhold button, but by default, I'm muted, so I have to manually unmute myself for them to hear me.

If you have more than 2 people in your organization, then this will save you so much time. Delegation is the key to starting a business. Even when you're a 1 person show, being able to present to your user base the differentiation of options for client communications is critical. As a founder, feeling compelled to be always on is something I strive not to be. OpenPhone gives you that flexibility. I have found it to be less appropriate in complex HIPPA compliant areas, but that is it. OpenPhone really does seem to suit an open array of use cases.

  • Call quality can be spotty on wifi if the connection is poor, but nothing they personally can do about that. 4G LTE is usually stronger and more stable.
  • N/A honestly excellent product for the price.

Because I think it's simple enough to use but could still use some adjustments. Some thing are maybe not as intuitive to me even though I am probably a mid power user? If I can recommend it, I would suggest you copy how Intercom is doing things, but this could be just personal and most people don't feel that way.

Reliability and Availability
The 8x8 product is absolutely the best when it comes to this! I have had zero application errors or unplanned outages allowing me the opportunity to provide a constant source of reliable customer service to my members. I know this is something I can count on. Unlike the internet, it is subject to go down without warning

For me, there have been too many outages to rate this higher than "1 worst".

Performance
None of the features that are available slow down the application. The reports (even the ones with hundreds of records) complete very quickly and the web interface as well as the mobile application never struggle to load or complete a task. The analytics will sometimes take some time to reflect the online status of users but it is to be expected due to connection speeds.

I think the platform is buggy and confusing. There are numerous outages. And the call quality, according to my customers, is atrocious.

Support Rating
We are a USA based organization. Support was refreshingly quick (callback via phone or email, online live agents). Agents are knowledgeable, thorough in their explanations, and extremely patient when dealing with end-users at various levels of the ICT knowledge spectrum.

In my experience, their support feels like the opposite of support. They send you in circles, never directly answer questions, provide vague suggestions with unwanted platitudes, and they often take days between responses to provide that. For me, it's a frustrating experience that leaves you with a net loss of time and energy versus before you reached out to them. In my opinion, you definitely don't get "support".

Braze - we used it before for promo texts, we found it more confusing, harder to navigate and price was higher as well if I remember correctly. Whatsapp - problem is that you can't reach all USA customers using it.

Scalability
The only issue was adding licences was not via a button click but through your account admin which seems bad practice in a SaaS world as the user should be able to sign up, amend and close their account with ease

In my experience, I can't even scale up to sending messages from a single number because of their broken and messed up "trust registration" system.
