    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.

    The flexibility of the open APIs makes it easy to adapt the solution to one's needs and requirements. We could create our own solution tailored to our personal needs and create >3.000 highly customized call flows with minimal configuration effort. Including the possibility to implement additional features with a few clicks across all call flows.

    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.

    • The digital channels is one of those. I definitely think the digital channels stands out as a unique product. From a contact center agent standpoint, that when you've got customers, maybe retail customers or that stuff, it's a great fit for that. For anybody who really trying to deal with customers.

    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.

    • Webex Contact Center fits well when the group of users or agents is larger, but sometimes there are use cases where we might need to use Webex Calling, while still having the features of the Webex Contact Center. Currently, I've been seeing a little shift of features that have been getting rolled out from contact centers to calling. The bridges are becoming closer and closer every day, but it would be great to see the same feature sets in Webex Contact Center and Calling.

    We are happy with the product, with Cisco as a partner and the roadmap looks mightily impressive. Webex Contact Center is one of our growth areas so we're keen to get more agents on the platform, we want to get more customers on it and we want to make use of all the features and functionalities it offers, so that we can help our customers do what they do best.

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

    It is great to use Webex Contact Center as it delivers the call routing and workflow for agent and call routing. In addition to this the noise reduction helps to focus attention on the call and with the client. The notes feature and the ability for the transcription really helps with translation and language barriers.

    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.

    • No Capex required for this solution (which makes our CFO very happy)
    • Digital channels are builtin and therefore very easy to deploy
    • The built in CRM integration was missing features so we had to install a thirdparty connector which we had to pay for (and wasn't in our budget) in order to get the features which our business demanded
