    While there are likely a variety of scenarios that would work well with Vonage [Communications APIs (formerly Nexmo)], implementations that need transactional message and response actions are a great fit. Our experience with transactional messaging has been really good and we are continuing to look at opportunities to expand our usage of this part of their service.

    Pros
    VirtualPBX
    • Easy to set up your menu and record greetings and Prompts
    • Forwards to our cell phones or landlines -- and voicemail to email
    • Allows outbound calls on the rare occasion we require hiding
    • Simple website for end users - but they almost never need to use it.

    • I like the delivery speed, it's very instantaneous. As soon as the delivery status changes on the website, the message gets delivered. The rates are also cheap and affordable.
    • The accuracy of the services and the non-stop supportive team.
    • Simple API, easy to integrate with existing notification functionality in your Laravel apps.
    • Ease of implementation. We needed less than one month to go live.

    Usability
    VirtualPBX
    So much easier than our old PBX or any on-prem PBX I have ever used. We were up and running in an hour. Tweaking the caller menus is so easy.

    The overall usability of Vonage [Communications APIs (formerly Nexmo)] system for message delivery is sufficient for our implementation. Some improvements and additional reporting options in the account administration interface would increase our utilization of the post-delivery data further in order to provide further value-added features for our clients.

    The product feels a bit like a black box since it's built to be an off-the-shelf solution so sometimes it feels like the only way to really understand it is to talk to an engineer directly as the documentation is so-so.

    Auto attendant and voice conference capabilities are a good value for SOHO users that need to make a positive impression upon their customers.

    Nexmo is the best platform in the industry for sure. We don't use all the features that the API provides but we are really satisfied with the ones we use. We are sure this is the best solution in the market if you need to solve the communication in real time with your customers. When we have to build a new website we are going to support the solution with Nexmo.

    Return on Investment
    VirtualPBX
    • We have been able to improve greatly with this software, our communications and interactions with customers improved, and agent performance and productivity improved, which translates into higher profits for the company. It is easy to use this program, so it did not take us long to adapt to it and its functions.

    • Allowed us to go to market faster (positive).
    • Greatly limits our claim to quality as the ceiling on video quality is lower than other platforms (negative).
