    I have tried a few programs over the years to record and track calls and this one is by far the best. Easy to use and more functions than I will ever use. I love the reporting options. There was one particular scenario that comes to mind where I was glad to have FluentCloud. I had a client that was really really angry, cussing, yelling, threatening suit, etc. because he had gone to an appointment almost 2 hours away and when he got there the woman told him that we forced her to schedule the appointment, that we were pushy and rude and she just wanted to get off the phone. Thankfully I found the recording and was able to prove to him that she DID schedule the appointment but she also picked the day and time, answered all of the questions and took absolutely no persuasion at all. Basically it was an easy close. The client couldn't believe it and still to this day he is my client.

    We use Ooma Office for everyone in the company including mobile users. It has allowed us to eliminate the spam callers as well give our mobile and remote users the ability to make business calls - from any device, from anywhere, at any time - without having to worry about any long distance charges, or without giving up their personal telephone numbers (at home or cellular).

    Pros
    FluentStream Technologies
    • FluentCloud is excellent at customer service, their staff is always helpful and responsive. I have never had a typical service experience where first diagnosis is always the user's system. Their engineering staff is also hands on, I've been so grateful to have Brian's help in selecting the right router - he even configured it for us.
    • Ease of use, the system is quite easy to use even beyond adding extensions, users, new DID phone numbers and complex routing queues. It's also easy to configure feature codes and program them so users can perform multi-step tasks with a few key punches on their dial pad. We use feature codes to allow callers to switch their caller ID to our DID numbers that are local to the area on the fly.
    • Robust features: ability for whisper coaching, barge in and a dashboard to visually check the status of each user.

    • Ease of IVR customization: Allows my business to adapt quickly to an ever-changing business economy
    • Plug and Play application: I was up and running within minutes of opening the box with the equipment in it!
    • Find Me, Follow Me for remote access: No matter where I go, I can bring the office with me.
    • Simple, Straightforward Billing: I recognized savings from day 1; my monthly invoice stays the same every month!

    Cons
    FluentStream Technologies
    • There are times when calls are really garbled, there was a couple months there that we couldn't listen to any of the recordings because they were not decipherable.
    • They changed something recently where now when you are listening to a recording and you hit pause it takes you back to the beginning when you start again rather than just continuing where you left off. That is a pain in the butt because I have to pause quite often for interruptions.

    • Cell phone app could be a little easier to use.
    • Ooma Desktop needs some tweaking to make it more user friendly.
    • I would like my 800 number to be assigned to my personal mailbox vs. having to have its own extension.

    We have found it very easy to configure, manage, and expand our phone operations with Ooma Office. We needed a reliable phone network as this is the first means of communication for our customers - Ooma has made it a lot easier for us to manage. Their support is also available 24x7 so that's a huge plus.

    Ooma has helped us make better use of our phones and given us many more capabilities than our previous service. The mobile app has provided an excellent connection and quality. Its integration with the cellular phone app and contacts makes it a breeze to use. Emailed recordings of voicemails are very helpful for both receiving messages and allowing us to archive them. It has also saved us a significant amount of money and provided us with a more capable and reliable system all at once.

    Ooma Office support is always available. I've never been on the phone with them for longer than 5 minutes. They are knowledgable, have great active listening skills, are able to make recommendations on how to make Ooma Office work even better for you, and wait times to speak with an agent are reasonable and typically less than 1 minute.

    Have a plan in place before you start the implementation, open communication with the staff on the changes being made, prepare a reference guide on the system and how to navigate the new setup. Budget and allocate time for helping staff learn the new system. Consolidate and coordinate all the questions internally before reaching out to support.

    I have used others besides what is listed below but FluentCloud is by far the best I have used, especially when it comes to tracking and reporting call volume and production of our calls. Being a call center that is production based on call volume having something like FluentCloud is essential.

    We went over to Ooma [Office] after having had Intermedia for several years. Intermedia was good, but they were due for an update on many of their systems, which they did after we left. With Ooma [Office], we have our hold music and other basic, easy to use options that fit well for our small business.

    Return on Investment
    FluentStream Technologies
    • FluentCloud is a good value, we have done extensive cost comparison and the feature set vs price is very favorable.
    • The lack of a contract and ability to dynamically add or remove extensions as needed is great, we only pay for what we use.

    • System made it one-stop shopping for fax lines and phones numbers and equipment which was convenient.
    • It was a shock to see that $39.98 of service manages to result in about $18 of additional “fees” every month. Makes the service significantly less of a bargain than is advertised.
