No comments as it was associated with my agency Pinnacle Technology.

I don't think 8x8 is around anymore. I didn't choose Vonage it was chosen for me. I cannot say it is better than 8x8, but it is comparable. As I am not very familiar with other programs, I cannot give it a good comparison. Receiving an email when I get a voicemail is also nice.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
When I used to use 8 x 8, it started off as a good price, but the product was not all that great, and they lock you in on a tough contract that automatically changes price and no longer becomes economically viable. That is not the case with Vonage Business Communications, you …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
There are several reasons to go for Vonage Business Communications. It is cost effective, stable as far as I used the alternative software. Basically it is a unified communications platform which helps us with business needs. Although I have used some softphones in the past …

They are similar, besides the fact that you can make consistent phone calls with Jive. Jive also had customer service reps that would answer the phone and help.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
Offer flexible and scalable voice, messages, call recording, [and] video. Nothing to worry about to save [a] contact, there is no limit to add your contacts.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
Hard to beat Vonage for features. Ooma is probably less expensive.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
I haven't used anything else too closely related but Skype for Business has a lot of the same issues. Vonage's abilities and pros way outweigh the cons. I don't think I have heard of more viable software to fit our needs in the market right now. It has become essential to my …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
I was not involved in the vetting process and Vonage Enterprise replaced our traditional landline phone.

We believe Vonage Business Cloud is best for our organization over the AT&T and the Verizon platforms for several reasons including price, ease of use, connectivity, and other options. Since we have implemented this solution along with newer Polycom phones, we have had very …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
Vonage is easy to use and convenient. Their customer service is exceptional. Our account manager is in constant communication with us and goes out of their way to check in on a bi-weekly basis.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
We were on a ridiculous combination of a bunch of vendors, Broadview/Windstream/ATT/Verizon/Paetec in one of our offices. It was an old-school setup, paying for long distance, a circuit to another circuit, maintenance on our local phone service and even had an on-premise …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
I am unsure who our previous phone service provider was, but there were occasional downtime and common issues with our hardware. Switching to a cloud solution for phones has been an all-around positive switch over traditional phone systems. Compared to Amazon Chime or …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
I felt that the Vonage Business Cloud was a lot cleaner and easier to use than the other one. I liked it a lot more than the one I had used previously at a different office. Vonage definitely gets the job done, but also is clean and pretty to use while getting said things done.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
I know we were using Join.me and Skype for Business and looked into Zoom before going with Vonage - which has Chime built into the pricing.

As for competitors we looked at big guys like Verizon and Sprint (no thanks) and little guys that ran VoIPs... we wanted the VoIP solution …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
We transitioned from another VoIP provider. Unfortunately, that provider had consistent quality issues. We did evaluate several other options before transitioning away from our first VoIP provider, but ultimately Vonage Business had the features we were looking for. They …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
We evaluated the listed cloud VOIP providers for clients and ourselves, as well as various on-premise solutions. While not perfect, Vonage had the best balance of cost, ease of use, support, reliability, and hardware offerings.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
We didn't really evaluate any other VOIP phone companies other than seeing they were all about the same on price per user. We did a trial with Vonage, the sales rep was great, and we were hooked. He gave us an offer we couldn't refuse on handsets being free with a 2-year …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
N/A - this is the first cloud based solution we have tried besides a local company's version that was subpar.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
Phone service is much more reliable than Comcast and much cheaper than AT&T. At the same time, support for Vonage Business is vastly superior to those two products as it is very easy to get a hold of someone willing to help solve any technical or billing questions you may have.
Chose Vonage Business Communications
Vonage has the voice extension app and it uses data only when there is no wifi. The quality of the voice [is good] and the rate is cheaper. The International calls are much faster and easier to make without any other codes or number - it is as easy as making local calls with …
Chose Vonage Business Communications
Vonage turns out to be a company who has leveraged its long-standing reputation to keep pricing costs down and initial sign-up costs down to acquire new customers.

Vonage
Vonage Business Communications excels in scenarios requiring seamless remote work, such as virtual teams and remote workers. It's also ideal for businesses needing reliable disaster recovery solutions. However, it may be less appropriate for very small businesses with minimal communication needs or those with limited budgets, as the comprehensive features might be more than necessary.

Pros
Vonage
  • Eliminates physical phone consoles that can be pricey and unnecessary for staff.
  • Has a companion app that allows you to use your personal cell phone to check messages or make calls.
  • The desktop application is easy to use and has a number of customizable settings so that the app can be minimized but alert you of incoming calls.

Cons
Vonage
  • The extension can only have three devices which is difficult if you work in multiple locations. Your cell phone is one of the three, so you really only get two. I have three office locations that I work out of and it would be nice to have my extension at each.

Usability
Vonage
I thought it had very practical and useful usability. It has a clean and simple interface with large fonts that make it easy to read. It isn't particularly difficult, although figuring out some operations may be a bit challenging. For the most part though, it isn't very difficult to use

We hardly have any issues with it to where we need to call them. There was a point where our connections across the board were terrible and it held us up in production quite a bit but since then things have been pretty simple and streamlined.

Alternatives Considered
Vonage
We believe Vonage Business Cloud is best for our organization over the AT&T and the Verizon platforms for several reasons including price, ease of use, connectivity, and other options. Since we have implemented this solution along with newer Polycom phones, we have had very few issues with our phones or our phone platform.

Return on Investment
Vonage
  • Cut down phone hardware expense since the soft phone is free and easier to use.
  • Text is becoming a more important and effective way to reach clients. Some will not answer a call or accept voicemail but respond quickly to text messages.
  • Allows me to work from anywhere with smart phone app saving hours at work.
