Nextiva Business Phone Service vs. PanTerra Networks

It is well suited for anyone who wants an easy to use very reliable VOIP service. If you have call center agents, it works very well for that situation as well. If you have people in multiple offices or work from home/remote it is a great solution. If you want everyone to be able to receive and make business calls from business numbers anywhere, this is your solution. If you are looking for a service that will integrate with many other third-party products you may use already, you may want to look at another VOIP vendor that has deeper integrations with third-party applications. If you are looking for the lowest price VOIP system, although Nextiva is not the most expensive, it is still in the middle of the pack when it comes to pricing. If you are looking for just cheap simple VOIP you may be able to find some vendors that are a little bit more affordable.

PanTerra Streams works great in our growing law firm. The cost per line is significantly less than other VOIP services we have utilized in the past. Also, the customer service is second to none. Anytime I have a question or problem, I can quickly login online and just chat with customer service. Customer service always quickly and efficiently handles any issues that arise. The only negative to PanTerra Streams is that the admin portal is clunky, hard to navigate, and not intuitive (even for someone that is fairly tech savy). Nevertheless, if I run into a problem, the customer service team resolves it immediately, so the fact that the admin portal is hard to navigate is really no issue at all.

• While phones are feature rich, they can still be confusing for some of our users.
• Mobile app can be glitchy at times.
• Would love to see more touch screen options.

• The fax feature is a bit cumbersome. Oftentimes we have more than one document to send in a transmission, and this system does not have the capability to add more than one attachment to a fax. Combining all branches into one document is time-consuming.

In all likelihood, we will remain Panterra customers for many years. VoIP phone and messaging is a rapidly expanding and evolving market, however, and its possible a better solution will come along, but for now, Panterra Streams offers a compelling solution combining leading features, great customer service, and affordable pricing.

It is good for phone calls but it needs to include Bluetooth headsets.

Great quality

I think Nextiva is a great tool for what we use it for. It is used for tracking time and used also in our bonus structure to make sure we have the specified amount of talk time. I really enjoy this application and everything that it is used for within our company. There's not a whole lot I can say about it other than it is a really neat tool.

They have by far the best support! I can dial 611 from any phone and someone is waiting right away to help. They have yet to not solve a problem quickly and efficiently. The person on the other end is polite, and extremely knowledgeable. Fantastic support compared to any company we've dealt with to date - just as promised!

Implementation was well planned and explained before we began. They were booked up for several weeks, so we did find ourselves impatient to begin using their system. Once the line porting was finally approved, the actual reprogramming of phones and implementation went fairly quickly. Their tech had everything done in a few hours via internet and phone instructions.

The features that Nextiva has managed to pack into their very competitive pricing is outstanding. The call flow visualization is spot on and very easy to use. The call recording is simple to set up and even easier to use. My only complaint is the Android app that seems to be hit or miss with certain users

Different phone systems can be better than their competitors based on features, user experience, reliability, integration, scalability, cost, and support. The best phone system for a particular organization will depend on their specific needs and priorities. The winner for us was Panterra Streams due to the overall package, support, and services provided

• We like that we have one general call-in number that we can post on the website and marketing material where you can reach anyone in the business.
• We like that the fax number alerts us via email if we have a message.

• Very reliable. We make hundreds of calls outbound and there has never been a connectivity issue or otherwise
• We decreased our monthly expense for reliable service by several hundred dollars
• The onboarding support was the best we've ever experienced. They were on the phone while we hooked up every phone, tested, and got it all set up with ease.
• Any changes needed after onboarding were difficult to accomplish without a call to customer service. Some of those calls to customer service made things more confusing
