Considered Both Products
CloudCall
Chose CloudCall
CloudCall is much better and easier functionality with more options.
Chose CloudCall
Cloud Call has better integrations, much better customer service. ShoreTel is a huge and we are a small customer, Cloud Call has treated us as if we are important to them, ShoreTel did not.
GoTo Connect
Chose GoTo Connect
Honestly, tools like Zoom or Google Meet are fine if you just need basic video, but they completely ignore the actual phone side of things. I chose GoTo Connect because it handles everything at once. We finally ditched our clunky old phone provider and stopped paying for …
Chose GoTo Connect
Go to is the only VoIP system we have ever tested. Teams is just more widely used and preferred in the business world for meetings and screen sharing, and several of our customers and contacts send us meetings in Teams, so for that reason alone, it is our preferred product. For …
Chose GoTo Connect
We love the way it works with our sometimes work-from-home situations and the ease of setting up everything in the admin portal.
Chose GoTo Connect
N/A. GoTo is our first VOIP and we have not felt the need to look for alternative systems.
Chose GoTo Connect
Older telephony technology can be extremely difficult to understand and Admin. I can't say enough about the UI with GoTo as one does not need any IT experience to Administrate this tool.
Chose GoTo Connect
Some providers are very eager to catch a sale and not help you once you are locked in. I found with GoTo Connect the merchant support team to be very helpful and easy to get a hold of.
Chose GoTo Connect
Goto Connect is way better than ooma, mainly in customer service. Ooma, however, integrates with my CRM, and I miss that. I need for GTC to integrate with Vertafore's Agency Zoom platform
Chose GoTo Connect
It is very similar, but with even easier administration which allows administration with a smaller IT Team. One of the main reason we selected GoTo Connect was for its cost and feature packed admin panel.
Chose GoTo Connect
The customer service and interface are no Comparison. In my opinion, GoTo Connect is far better at cloud voice than Verizon
Chose GoTo Connect
Amazon Connect is way harder to configure and get working than GoTo Connect is to setup.
Chose GoTo Connect
Almost non comparable. Microsoft nickel and dimes you for licensing that is not overly clear. Any change to the teams phone system can take upwards of 48 hours sometimes leaving clients without a phone system for that time. No dialing through phone trees when on a conference …
Chose GoTo Connect
The admin interface in GoTo Connect feels much simpler and faster to configure. It offers right balance of reliability, clean UI, and flexibility.
Chose GoTo Connect
Much more affordable and has everything that we need.
Chose GoTo Connect
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.
Chose GoTo Connect
Goto seemed to be the best UI and easiest to manage users on the admin side. Easy to customize everything to meet individual needs.
Chose GoTo Connect
It work better and able to implement it faster.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect struck the right balance between functionality, simplicity, and cost.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect is a higher-quality product. It is easy to use and easy to integrate with our other systems. We have been looking into different programs (there are so many) and GoTo Connect has a more professional interface.
Chose GoTo Connect
You could evaluate Zoom phone or right by eight or RingCentral or Microsoft Teams with full capabilities those are all suitable alternatives. Make sure you understand the monthly service fees, and the cost for the telephones are needed for the service as they do very …
Chose GoTo Connect
Much more reasonable and equally reliable
Chose GoTo Connect
I just find it simpler easier to visualize the screen and nobody has any problem connecting. Unlike Teams which is tricky on mobile devices and many people are accessing the meetings from mobile devices.

Likelihood to Recommend
I think CloudCall is better for enterprises that need to keep the clients and employees in contact but on a professional basis. Talking over the phone makes a person understand better as compared to email conversations and takes less time too, so, CloudCall fits the gap by providing better quality calls and gives analytics as well.

Go To is a great phone system that has made the transition from our old landline phone system to a VoIP product easy. Our users can customize their speed dial buttons; the dial plans are robust, so we can fully customize anything we need to; and, besides provisioning, setting up a new device is quick and easy.

  • Making a dedicated button for "mute all" (other than yourself) for when someone "walks off before they mute"/has to quickly leave their computer....and FORGOT to Mute. Particularly when dogs are barking when someone working from home has a visitor at the door
  • I'd like to see some of the functionality from GoTo Webinar enabled for GoTo Connect: see who's "actively watching" vs has their computer screen on another application

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
No answers on this topic
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.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
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.

Performance
No answers on this topic
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.

Support Rating
Customer support is always responsive and timely.
Read full review
Support used to be great when it was Jive support out of Utah. Now that they've offshored support it can be difficult to get a response. Our most common issues are least cost routing, and we run into support pushing back in stead of just figuring out which upstream carrier is having an issue like they used to. We often have to get our account manager involved, who is pretty strong.

Online Training
No answers on this topic
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.

Implementation Rating
No answers on this topic
The implementation was incredibly easy and straightforward. I came into the project never having migrated and changed phone systems before, and the team at Go-To made it super easy to port all of our numbers and phone lines over to the new system. It was not intimidating, and all of my questions were answered promptly.

Honestly, tools like Zoom or Google Meet are fine if you just need basic video, but they completely ignore the actual phone side of things. I chose GoTo Connect because it handles everything at once. We finally ditched our clunky old phone provider and stopped paying for separate chat apps. Now my team manages client calls, texts, and meetings from one single screen. It just makes life so much easier.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
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.

  • 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.
