MyPBX vs. OpenPhone

MyPBX is really well suited to a business that is willing to put in the time to work out the most appropriate system for its needs and for business owners who want to be connected 24/7 whether in or out of the office

If you have more than 2 people in your organization, then this will save you so much time. Delegation is the key to starting a business. Even when you're a 1 person show, being able to present to your user base the differentiation of options for client communications is critical. As a founder, feeling compelled to be always on is something I strive not to be. OpenPhone gives you that flexibility. I have found it to be less appropriate in complex HIPPA compliant areas, but that is it. OpenPhone really does seem to suit an open array of use cases.

• Would like to see avatars on the launch pad to easily identify users and message types.
• Pre-recorded professional voice messages for purchase and customization would be nice.
• It would be helpful to have a selection of short background music loops.

• Call quality can be spotty on wifi if the connection is poor, but nothing they personally can do about that. 4G LTE is usually stronger and more stable.
• N/A honestly excellent product for the price.

OpenPhone has an easier user interface than Grasshopper. Years ago when I was using Grasshopper, I recall that their user interface looked antiquated and full of complications. They would also update the interface just as everyone was getting used to using it. OpenPhone has many more functions. Grasshopper's app did not offer basic functions such as in-app texting between team members, and its call transfer function was incredibly complicated to use. In my opinion, Grasshopper was an inferior service/product in almost every way.
