Likelihood to Recommend We have had great service with Nextiva Business Phone Service and it is reliable and reasonably priced for the offered features. User Friendly and minimal issues. We are able to control most of the set up for new users and or new phones when needed. Only would like to see the app - Nextiva One be enhanced with more features than it currently has.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Up-time, We've never had any sort of extended downtime because of Nextiva Business Phone Service, there services just work Provisioning of supported devices is very easy to do and is almost automatic, this makes new device roll out especially smooth The call flow functionality is especially smooth and intuitive to setup. Their customer service is very effective and I've never waited more than 2 days for a solution, that's for more complicated issues too. Read full review It's great for texting. It's great for making phone calls. You get a new, unique phone number and can text/call from phone or desktop. UI is great and really intuitive. Read full review Cons The use of two apps when you're a supervisor. We have to use Unity and the Nextiva app instead of one app. It can be cumbersome. Better integration with CRM's. We use Zendesk and it works ok as it does pull up customer records if we have their phone number on file. But it would be better if we could have more functionality from one place and have it write to the CRM directly. Accept higher quality audio for greeting recordings. We had to trim the file size down several times losing a lot of audio quality in the process. Mono is fine since callers will only need to hear the one channel. But the Hz limit and file size limit were rough. Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Its user friendly, easy to use and has been very reliable. We have nothing but good things to say about our service with Nextiva Business Phone Service. When needed their support team has always resolved any and all issues one way or another. They have been helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. The features vs the cost is wonderful compared to other service providers.
Read full review Usability Nextiva Business Phone Service system is very usable. We have desk phones, that were included at no cost. The function just as one would expect from an office phone system. I can also answer my calls from my PC and even on my cell phone if I have to leave the office.

Read full review Support Rating Support is great. We usually get someone on the phone; they answer our questions and help us with our issues. They are responsive when we call, and there is also a wealth of information on their online help center, which will typically answer our question or send us in the right direction.
Read full review Online Training The training we received from Nextiva Business Phone Service was thorough, and detailed. It also did not take very long.
Read full review Implementation Rating No was done by Agency Owner and was done with the help of Nextiva Support and Sales team. Went very well and has been working great since then. Was originally only two phones and then we continue to add to that. We did not have any reported issues and was a great experience for our Agency and Small Business.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We switched for better uptime, ease of use, and better tech support and got all that from Nextiva. We were constantly losing connection with our previous provider, a package service for internet and phone. The web portal is much easier to use, and the call center offers many more features.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Scalability We have not yet needed top scale up our phone system yet, but I can tell that it will be very quick and effortless to do so when the need arises.
Read full review Return on Investment ROI - we are saving money, a lot of money, and we have a MUCH better phone system Consolidation - we migrated 6 different phone systems in 6 different counties into one, and it's been wonderful! Management - managing this system is so much better than Mitel, Panasonic, and any other system I have used. We are able to assign rights to certain staff to also make changes, and it's user friendly and almost fool proof.
