    Nextiva Business Phone Service

    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.

    If you cannot use another more common solution on the market or are looking for an alternative to the known solutions, it is a great alternative. If you have other tools already, and just want to test [them], that's fine, but I think the better-known ones have a better chance of using, knowing, and the learning curve will be shorter.

    Pros

    Nextiva Business Phone Service

    • Our teams are located in three different countries. This includes Administration, Customers Support, Technical Support, and Sales. All of us have an internal number reachable from any mobile or laptop.
    • Looking for the internal directory and dialing a three digit number is very easy. We communicate with workers in different countries as we where in the same building
    • User-friendly application with availability indicator, call settings, and personal preferences.

    • Easy to use: The app is very, very easy to use. Literally just create a chat room (input a name) and access it to chat.
    • Call/video quality: I've experienced better call quality on appear.in than in almost all other chat and video conferencing services out there.

    Cons

    Nextiva Business Phone Service

    • 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 paid version may have dial-in. But I have always used the free version. Dial-in is typically required for an "official" multi-purpose teleconference platform.
    • I did have some trouble with larger groups (5+) when it was Appear.in but almost always use it for small 1-on-1 or 3 person meetings.

    We are using a larger tool suite that already includes video conferencing instead of our older approach of using different apps from different vendors.appear.in has a simple but great set of features but its pricing scheme is not as scalable as we really need in a 500+ employee company.

    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.

    Never had to contact support, so we cannot give a rating for their overall support. When we noticed the audio was not always great quality, we simply educated our users to mute the mic and use the in-room conference phone which is connected via a dedicated VOIP link and had much better voice quality. The video performance varied by locations network speed and found it got much worse when the room size increased to over 4 connections.

    Alternatives Considered

    Nextiva Business Phone Service

    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

    For me it was Zoom, Google Meet vs. Whereby. For me, the main idea was to make it easier for the clients (non-technical people) to join and starting to have a talk. For Zoom, it was too much, even for myself, and Google Meet always needs a calendar integration, but with Whereby you can just share the URL whenever and people would remember your URL which is nice.

    Return on Investment

    Nextiva Business Phone Service

    • 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.

    • My team's favorite feature was the addition of sharing YouTube Videos directly in the page so we could watch and listen together.
    • Easy to use, no login issues and is user friendly application.
    • I like the rooms and sharing links. It's great to be able to make up my own room and share. Finding links is easy and make sense.
