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.

If an organiziation was fully on Salesforce and rely on that type of routing, I would recommend Vonage to them. They would also need a good support system to be able to build/maintain and manage it as well. If they do not need this or have the bandwidth, I would not recommend this product at all. They also struggled with our billing and could not tell us what they were charging for

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 design of ContactWorld is wonderful, very easy to use and not too busy on the eyes.
  • ContactWorld also makes it easier to find specific clients for specific industries, the groupings of everything are nice and neat and easy to use.
  • ContactWorld has made it much easier for my company to stay on the same page regarding customer information and interest.

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.

Usability
Nextiva
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 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.

Noble was the outgoing system. If you are in the UK, then you find that there is little support from the US function for any challenges you face. It feels like Noble is aware of Salesforce, however it doesn't really integrate with Salesforce. Natterbox also looked like a good product, however I feel they are a little while off being on the same level as New Voice Media. It's worth throwing them in the mix with any consideration though.

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.

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.
