CloudCall vs. Grasshopper vs. Solgari Cloud Communications

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.

Grasshopper is well suited for basic needs of texting in and out as well as calling out if you would like to avoid using your personal line. It also eliminates the need to have a dedicated land land in your office or business. You can obtain a vanity number and forward calls through grasshopper.

Excellent for small and large companies. Great for sales staff who need to work remotely. No need for inside sales to be in the office all the time.

• I like that there are differing voicemails for each extension, to keep up with the image of calling a separate line.
• I love the voicemail text emails. I believe we pay a little extra, but worth every penny for those urgent calls while I am in a meeting.
• The cost is very reasonable for the value added to our company.

Incentivized

• Great call quality
• Love that I've been able to listen into sales calls
• Love that I've been able to record all our sales calls
• Love that I've been able to whisper to staff on their sales calls, helping to answer the clients questions whilst they are still on the call
• Great cloud technology that supports sales staff working remotely

• The service on their app is not the best
• The texting platform can always improve

• It would be nice to have the ability to transfer some calls to another Grasshopper IVR, for those customers who mistakenly dial the wrong number (we have two incoming numbers, one for corporate and one for sales).
• Likewise, it would be nice to have the ability to forward to a toll-free number, which would have allowed us to work around the inability to transfer between IVRs (see above).
• Lastly, it would be great to have an 'emergency' switch setting (default off but could be toggled on) that would let us override all IVR settings and transfer all incoming calls elsewhere (either to a direct dial or toll free number) for those rare times when we cannot take any calls (such as a weather emergency OR the one time each year we take all of our staff on a retreat) - that would allow us to send all calls to a backup answering service rather than just voicemail.

• 3CX keypad could be more intuitive

The admin functions are kind of confusing in the old interface which was my most recent experience on the admin side.

Customer support is always responsive and timely.

When I was setting up my account I contacted support a couple of times. They were also very professional, personable, and helpful. Their response is prompt and thorough. I'm confident I can get any question answered as well as help with any issue I might have. That's pretty important to me.

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.

I have not used any other phone services like Grasshopper. I know that there is another option out there called Ruby, which is more like a virtual receptionist but since I did not try it out I cannot compare the two. When I started my company I found the services that Grasshopper offers to be perfect. It still works for us and we have no need to change to anything else right now.

Solgari is way better than Skype or Google hangouts. I love the simplicity of it's usage and how easy the sales team can listen into and records calls.

Incentivized

• Makes project work move fast, making the process productive.
• Keeping record of the calls made for validation or verifications.
• The only negative impact I feel is when we need support during server errors, which lags sometimes.

Incentivized

• It's allowed us to keep cost down. Other phone systems can seriously get outrageous in implementation and monthly fees!
• It's allowed our team the confidence to work in locations outside of the office and still be seen as professionals.
• It's decreased the amount of time spent on unwanted sales calls via the call screening application.

Incentivized

• Kept our costs low
• Accelerate our revenue as the software is great for coaching new hires and sales staff
