Nextiva
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.

Telonium enables us to keep your voice systems automated, allowing us to receive all incoming calls and route them to the appropriate person in your office. We are notified whenever a voicemail message is left on your desk. You can play the voicemail without dialing if you receive an e-mail notification.We can customize our phone system from anywhere. There is no need to schedule a technician to visit your site and make adjustments because all phones are delivered ready to connect. We can use this program to prevent unsolicited telemarketers and phone calls from reaching our phones. It is the ideal solution for a better and safer phone service, with a high percentage of filtered calls in our favor. Telonium makes it as simple as possible for us to launch or relocate your service. When our customers and prospects call you, we only need to provide a few pieces of information, and Telonium will handle the rest. When you need to make changes to your system, all it takes is a phone call or a visit to a customer web portal to make immediate changes.However a high-speed Internet connection is required at the location where the phone will be used.

Pros
Nextiva
  • 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.

  • The control panel function is very good because we can see the progress and work of the agents, individually and also as a group with the different work teams.
  • We have found the call scripts very useful, especially with new agents who still don't know very well how to conduct the conversation with customers.
  • I think the omnichannel support is great because all the communication channels are in the same program, which makes our work easier.

Cons
Nextiva
  • 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.

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.

Support Rating
Nextiva
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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Nextiva
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.

There is no longer any need to schedule a technician to come to your site and make adjustments. Automated operators enable automated systems to accept all incoming calls and route them to the appropriate person in your office.

Return on Investment
Nextiva
  • 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.

  • We can see how our agents and customer service staff have become more focused on their tasks and have been more effective and successful in resolving customer requests. The system is quite easy to install and use, so we didn't have any inconvenience, so without a doubt, our profit margin increased.
