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.

I can fast chat, share files, share screens, present, and collaborate on any work through a streamlined interface. it is very easy to use and accessible worldwide for meetings despite long distances between users, You can use it to meet people virtually using video and audio, making it easy to connect with people across borders. It saves a lot of time and is effective for both discussion and work meetings.

Pros
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • 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.

  • It provides quick replies to the customer with chat it has AI which determines and replies to frequently asked questions.
  • Without stating the whole sentence it understands what the user is going to express it helps to get a better approach in terms of communication stability.
  • The best part is effective and satisfactory support given by he service owners.

Cons
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • 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.

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

Support Rating
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
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.

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.

Return on Investment
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • 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.

  • It is a somewhat complex tool to use where the learning curve can be high, but in the long run, customer service agents feel that the work is lighter. They are able to attend and prioritize customer calls making all customers feel satisfied with our services.
  • The purchase of this software is an investment that is undoubtedly worthwhile because, in the medium and long term, the sales department will work better and will be much more productive.
