I Am So Thankful for This Platform
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
GoTo has been an amazing platform and made my life as admin exponentially easier. I cover 3 dispersed locations across the US and one in Canada. Overall, we have around 50 lines, auto-attendants, shop intercoms, and alert functions set up. The install was easy, service is consistently good, the admin portal is user friendly, and the apps are reliable and intuitive. I love that when we have people out of the office that I can, in less than 5 minutes, have all of the lines from one branch rerouted to another and can reverse it even faster once the office is manned again. Holiday messages have never been easier to manage with scheduled adjustments to the call plan that I can set at the beginning of the year, all planned holidays and employee events are covered and I never have to think about them again. If an unplanned event comes up, it is only a couple of minutes to update the plan and we are good to go again. I really can't say enough good things about my experience with GoTo Connect.
Pros
- Reliable service
- Great customer support
- Intuitive apps
- Fantastic online resources for using the platform better
- A great blog for troubleshooting
- Feature rich AND the features work!
Cons
- I wish I could use the speed dials from my phone on the apps
- I wish there was a regular reboot of phones during off hours to help from the inevitable glitches of VoIP phones
- It would be nice if extensions were updated without the need to reboot phones.
Return on Investment
- It takes only a fraction of the time to set up new extensions or take down old ones compared to previous providers.
- The quick moving of lines keeps customers from getting stuck on voicemails and allows the continued person-to-person contact.
- As the sole admin, I am able to continue with other projects rather than getting bogged down trying to keep our phones up.
