Chose PanTerra Networks
Their pricing is good.... Cheap means cheap service.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Far superior did a lot of research and talking to everyone at the companies above and price and product so much better with PanTerra Networks
Chose PanTerra Networks
I compared between the vendors and found them affordable and reliable. Their onboarding process was rather lengthier but since then, we have hardly had issues.
Chose PanTerra Networks
We've used Net2Phone and Segra prior to using PanTerra Networks. PanTerra Networks has been our best overall system. For Net2Phone, call quality was an issue at times and it was not easy to update the system for holidays at the time of use as well as limited data analytics. …
Chose PanTerra Networks
I only used Grasshopper with a smaller team so I’m not sure if it would scale. I did not select PanTerra Networks but have been using it for 4+ years. It does work, but I think it could be better.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Teams was a nightmare to use. Did it once and will not go back.
Chose PanTerra Networks
It is a simpler solution and a more cost-effective option but best suited for small teams who are comfortable with on-premise solutions. Call centers with large teams require a more elaborate set up in my opinion.
Chose PanTerra Networks
The capabilities of Streams far exceeded either of the other products we have used in recent years.
Chose PanTerra Networks
First thing would be cost, Ring Central has a lot of bells and whistles which is nice, but we didn't use many of them so we were paying for things that were not needed for our business. Second would be the customer service and account management. I think they got too big too …
Chose PanTerra Networks
We previously used Verizon for our business phones. we then had to seek additional services for additional features we were looking for. The need to use multiple companies made billing and customer support exhausting and cumbersome. Since switching to PanTerra Networks our …
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Networks is much less expensive than other solutions. Our small business does not need all the features that other products offer.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Had several outages and price point per VOIP phone line was not competitive. Restricted use of proprietary phones was too limiting.
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Streams was the best choice for us. We looked at about four companies, and their price was much better than the others. The platform is easier to use every day and fits what we need. Everyone at PanTerra Streams was kind and easy to work with, which made everything …
Chose PanTerra Networks
Everybody has phones. They all work. PanTerra Networks makes it easier to evaluate, implement and SUPPORT.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Streams is very easy to use , the interface with windows is taskless and the mobile app works just fine as well. Texting is easy, just type message and send, you can also share files via text through web or the app itself . Monitor the trainees calls to make sure they are doing …
Chose PanTerra Networks
Panterra streams had the best value and offered free IP phones with a package. The 24/7 customer service support was hugely important to our team as well.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Customers like the local Support
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Networks is viewed as more competitive, and close enough to win. Those other companies do offer more integrations off the shelve, and do have a more user friendly portal. Panterra does give the client a more personalized experience when it comes to the presentation, …
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Networks is much more seamless and integrated than Adtran products. The Vonage products are very similiar to the Panterra telephony products. Panterra has a much better call & contact center application and better unified communications. The pricing for Panterra is …
Chose PanTerra Networks
We used 8x8 and that was not great. We just got away from another service that was kind of a nightmare last year.

PanTerra
One of the main draws of PanTerra Networks Streams is the unlimited calling, which was very enticing. We chose the platform over other models (per-call for example) because they simplified billing. While the video conferencing and messaging feel bare-bones or underdeveloped in comparison to other players in the market, the fact that the messaging is seamlessly integrated into the PBX makes it easy to use. The call routing systems are especially robust, which in the collections world is very important to be able to segment calls to different users.

Cons
PanTerra
  • Integration with Gorgias software
  • Accounting had asked me to mention the way the bills are shown in the invoices can be confusing as to how it is broken out and what each charge is for. She mentioned wishing it was a little more detailed.
  • Virtual test environment would be nice. When testing if there is an outage or testing updates, it would be cool to either be able to hear what a customer would hear and make sure things are working in the system without interrupting customer service. This is small, but a feature that would be cool to utilize.

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.

Usability
PanTerra
PanTerra Networks needs to make the interface more user friendly and make it easier for the users. Like saving message templates or saving phone numbers for the fax directory.

Support Rating
PanTerra
Always available and quick to respond. The team is also very knowledgeable so no waiting for a fix or an answer. At times they just go in and fix the setting vs telling you how to do it and sending you on your way. It's also done via text so you don't need to drop your call or be on hold

PanTerra
The implementation was very smooth. They assisted in getting phones tied to the various lines and getting everything set up in the admin portal. It's been a few years since our implementation, but there were no issues at the time.

Return on Investment
PanTerra
  • 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
