Likelihood to Recommend
For a new dealership recently acquired, we were able to create a dial plan to meet their needs without much effort on our side and was very easy to accomplish.

We primarily utilize the phone voip system. It helps us access our phone both in the office and while away as they have a mobile app that you can utilize as well. We are a medical office but not all of our team is in person so this helps with team efficiency.
Pros
Ability to change call directory
Automated features for voicemail
Robust online system
Cons
Customer service varies
Some terms are quite tech heavy and not easily understandable as a non expert. Would love better descriptions
Finding where/what you are looking for on the site can sometimes be confusing as names are similar
Likelihood to Recommend
I like that the phones are able to be mobile, it allows for more flexibility in where our team is able to work. I do not like the range in customer service experiences. I have had extremely helpful representatives but have also had people who were not very well trained and were not very much help.
GoTo is our phone systems. It is great with all the flexible and routing all the phone calls. It also works great with our CRM system to track the phone calls and text messages. It has great admin side to see what all is going on with the system. It helps us get our calls answered.
Pros
It has great sound quality.
It has great flexible in routing the phone calls.
It is great a scheduling holidays and having messages for it.
Cons
Like to see when someone is on a phone call from the admin side.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great at setting up a phone system quickly and having phone numbers routed to the correct place. App works good was able to do a whole phone system with people only using the app to answer the phone calls. People was able to figure out the app and use it in a few minutes.
I use GoTo Connect every day in our company; it has become one of our core components of my workflow. This product mainly solves the core challenge of fragmented communication. I mainly use it for team calls, client meetings, internal chat, and managing incoming support inquiries. It helps our team to stay connected, manage calls efficiently, and collaborate.
Pros
Call quality is always reliable.
The interface is simple and clean, easy to use.
Strong integration support.
Cons
Video quality during screen sharing can be improved.
Voicemail transcription is not that accurate.
Likelihood to Recommend
GoTo Connect is well-suited for distribution or hybrid teams that are in need of a unified communication system, as well as for companies that require strong mobile access for on-the-go communication. It is not ideal for teams needing advanced collaboration features like whiteboarding or real-time co-editing.
We use this to host video calls, especially with clients that are in different time zones or use different video call systems. We have also used it as a way to record presentations as well.
Pros
Host Video Calls
Allow for collaborative meetings
Cons
Connectivity can be slow at times when you reach close to a meeting max attendees
Likelihood to Recommend
We find it a great meeting program for teams of various sizes across various time zones. We had a last-minute all-team call, and it was very easy to send out a meeting link/invitation and get everyone on the call. Everyone had a seamless time joining and collaborating with conversation and screen sharing.
We use this to replace a legacy phone system where there were a lot of employees working remotely.
Pros
Setup is fairly easy
Robust set of features
STability has been pretty good for us, although not perfect
Cons
Customer service from GoTo is always sketchy. We rarely need it, but when we do, it's not very helpful
More robust tools for seeing blocked calls
Likelihood to Recommend
This system is good for companies who have a lot of virtual employees and might not need a dedicated in-house phone system anymore. But you need good IT to manage it, because their support is lackluster.
We use it for inbound and outbound communications with our customers. Industrial customers in the manufacturing industry. Additionally, we use it to monitor the number of calls, missed calls, and other key performance indicators. This is integrated into our availability in Microsoft Teams. So when we are available, we can reach out to other available colleagues.
Pros
Summarize the number of calls.
integrate into Teams.
Managing incoming calls.
Cons
Call routing of incoming calls could be better.
The lack of guidance in the interface.
difficult to start working with, without clear instructions.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well-suited if you are looking for a basic helpdesk center, it suits well for remote teams working in the helpdesk. Combined with other GoTo tools, such as meetings, it works fine. integrates well into Microsoft's teams. For offline work, it is less suited, as it lacks an offline feature. Depend on internet access. It is not as customizable as sometimes needed, but that's the case with other out-of-the-box tools as well.

GoTo Connect is a fully featured voice over IP phone system similar to RingCentral or 8 x 8 and is also bundled with additional services that can be used for troubleshooting and such as remote diagnostics. It supports a variety of standard phones that can be used for voice communications, and it also includes numerous other forms of communication such instant messaging and conferencing.
Pros
The fluffy services are standard and easy to use
The conference is fully featured and can allow you to do things that you would normally do with Zoom or other collaborative products
Cons
They could improve the variety of the telephones that are supported compared to others such as the full range of Cisco Phones in Cisco video phone
They could directly integrate with Teams, but if you already have Teams and you probably don’t need this
Likelihood to Recommend
GoTo Connect is an ideal solution for a small business that wants to have employees being able to communicate in a variety of different forms in a cost-effective manner for voice and instant messaging and conferencing, and really provide you with a full suite of solutions for business use.
We use GoTo Connect for our phone system. We are a 30-person firm and have used several products over the last 20 years. But GoTo has reliable call quality and generally favorable pricing. It allows us to expand the phone system to folks who are entirely remote as well.
Pros
messaging and video calls all included
Good call quality; few dropped connections
pretty approachable/easy to use
reasonable pricing
Cons
Customer service can be hard to reach (though we rarely need it)
We did have some unexpected charges but those were worked out
Likelihood to Recommend
We do a ton of conference calls and GoTo is very good at handling, even with dozens of participants. We get good call quality pretty consistently. There is not really a great system to for maintaining contacts, but we don't really need that. It is very reasonably priced and popular for smaller shops who don't have a big phone/conference budget.
We conduct virtual group therapy sessions for employees who have experienced a crisis at work, such as suicide, homicide, layoffs, robberies, and other crimes. Sessions are set up virtually, and
Counseling is administered by licensed clinicians who are contracted by the employee assistance program of the sponsoring organization.
Pros
Easy interface.
Works well on a variety of devices including mobile.
Simple and clear graphics.
Cons
Lack of widespread usage.
It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of something like Zoom.
Not necessarily intuitive to use.
Likelihood to Recommend
Again, the functionality is rather limited compared to something like Teams or Zoom.
