    Phone.com
    Phone.com is a no-brainer. The cost savings over a POTS or in-house PBX system are tremendous. The affordability added on top of the easy to use and deploy features make Phone.com the best choice. Phone.com is well-suited for situations where you need other-than-standard call holding, call routing, and other similar advanced call features.

    Cons
    Phone.com
    • Phone.com has been excellent with support and I can not think of any areas for improvement with regards to that
    • Phone.com could provide more graphical assistance when programming call routing. A visual indication of the flow of a call should be presented and would come in handy when planning out difficult ques/call routes

    • Yes, it is good to use Plivo, as per the pricing and ease of integration. Twilio has a difficult pattern for business developers and could be understood only by a developer.
    • Plivo has proper delivery reports as compared to Twilio. Using Plivo has helped us grow efficiently and in a good manner.
