    You can customise it to do what you want to do. Put in the work to learn the back and end and build your own guest journey. You are not limited like other competitors to how the guest flow goes, you build your own. Support are great in helping with this and always attentive

    It is absolutely perfect for flexible hybrid teams that want to combine daily calls, texts, and video meetings without needing a dedicated IT person. However, I would completely skip this software if you run a massive outbound call center because the system reporting is just way too basic right now.

    Cons

    • Intergrate with PMS payment methods, not only offer their own
    • Look at how it can be used better to manage the daily operation
    • Communicate between staff members in a SLACK like manner

    • I wish I could use the speed dials from my phone on the apps
    • I wish there was a regular reboot of phones during off hours to help from the inevitable glitches of VoIP phones
    • It would be nice if extensions were updated without the need to reboot phones.

    As great as AKAI is, its only issue is we cant take payments through our PMS - AKIA is reluctant to work with PMS payments as it wants to take payment itself. If this cant be navigated and other opportunities within our PMS appear that can do what AKAI does, it will force us to move in this direction

    They are knocking it out of the park on all fronts. I love the service and support I am receiving and have no complaints. If they raised their prices substantially I would reconsider but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. They would have to mess up something consistently moving forward to make me want to move

    Usability

    Once you get past the blanc canvas and begin to build, you learn its capability and become ingrossed. Easy, user friendly once you get your head around the set up

    Overall, it's a decent product for the price. It has the basic features our company needed when it was brand new and was not overly difficult to set up. As we've grown, it's become increasingly difficult to build out the features we want to implement within the PBX, and customer support can be less than helpful. Many of the more advanced features (dial plans, queues, etc.) take a lot of research to understand how to implement. Some of the features we paid for weren't even available when we were attempting to set them up.

    I have never experienced or heard of unplanned outages when it comes to GoTo Connect. Most of the time the unplanned outage is always local power at a site or internet service provider having an unplanned outage. GoTo's service has never failed any of our orgs yet that I know of.

    There is no lag in phone calls. There is no background noise or static/fuzz. Calls are crystal clear. With other dialers and phone systems, I have experienced delays between dialogue or delays with the caller picking up the phone and then being able to hear you. We do not experience this with Go To Connect.

    Exceptional support. Hopefully they grow enough to have world wide support. Can be problematic being in oposite time zones

    One of the MOST challenging things in tech support is that some of the offshore agents "don't speak Texan/English", and are really hard to understand. GoTo Connect's support is usually someone who is VERY easy to understand their US/English, and are very helpful. In dozens of interactions for our business & our clients, we've only had a few tickets that couldn't be resolved on the first call

    The training videos could be more in-depth. This would help our user base so that they can feel impowered to look up information that they need without having to ask our admins every time they have a question about the system. Online training videos are also inferior to an actual person explaining systems.

    Initially its a blanc canvas, once we got our head around that your good. It does take a fair few onboarding sessions to really learn. With the blanc canvas approached AKAI need to remember new buyers will be overwhelmed by this possibly

    It was great. Provisioning the phones was the trickiest part, but once we figured that out, actually setting up users, lines, dial plans, and everything like that was really easy. We were easily able to provision phones, ship them out to all our outside locations, and make changes from the home office.

    Go-To was the more cost-effective option between these. They also had the closest alignment to our goals and what we needed for our company without going overboard. We are happy with our decision and will continue to recommend Go-To.

    Its not readily apparent to me, other than cost, where you would run into any issues with larger scale deployments. When we went live on the product, the Jive team was always willing to do mass updates for us on our extensions, users, etc. in the system, so we didn't have to do too much manual one-by-one updates.

    Return on Investment

    • Huge saving in labour costs
    • As we are not so orientated to physical tasks to get the guest in, our team are more guest focused delivering better service and multi skill
    • Allows the guerst to check themselfs in, submit ID with face recognition and pay bond via all methods making it super efficinet for guest and the team

    • Cost Savings have been realized from reducing hardware .
    • We are all able to collaborate remotely and it has been seamless and easy to setup.
    • I'm able to pull reports, i wish there was improvement on the data analysis side. It has gotten better since LogMeIn, but something is a miss and can be improved.
