We use GoTo Connect for our VOIP system. All users within our company are assigned a number. Call quality has been excellent. It addressed the need to have external communication with clients, call forwarding to mobile devices to keep our internal users personal numbers private but still allowing mobile access to business calls.
Pros
Easy portal
Excellent quality / uptime
Good communication
Cons
Portal can always be improved upon
More AI features for offboarding/reassigning devices etc
Likelihood to Recommend
Any environment needing VOIP services, GoTo would be great for.
I can't think of any scenarios that would not fit the use case for GoTo Connect as long you need communication!

We use GoTo Connect as our primary phone system. We love the fact that if there is an internet issue, we are still able to receive calls from the soft phone options. It is great that many clients send pictures of error codes via text. The dial plan is easy to adjust, and the admin portal is easy to use. We are happy with almost everything that GoTo Connect has, except for the integrations with CRM tools being so expensive.
Pros
Soft phone App
User friendly portal
Great support team
Cons
The connection to outside tools
Registration texting make it a little easier on the client.
make it a little easier to change voice recordings from the soft phone.

We are partnered with GoTo and have brought on multiple of our clients also to use your product. We are happy with the partnership that we have with your company and hope that we can both continue to grow.
We have GoTo Connect for VOIP services. We started using it during COVID when employees were forced to work from home. It solved a major problem for us, where our employees previously needed to use their personal phone lines to reach out to clients. We have used GoTo Meetings but we still mostly use ZOOM, even though I'd prefer to get our company to use GoTo Meetings because I like the meeting room url and think it would be an improved experience with our clients instead of sending them a ZOOM link via email.
Pros
Admin UX
Sidecar Programming
Ring Plans
Cons
Redtail Integration could be improved
If you could program the buttons on polycom phones
A way to see other line status without sidecar
Likelihood to Recommend
For VOIP, it has done a perfectly reasonable job for us. Operationally, we are able to make adjustments in the PBX area like assigning Ring plans when one of our receptionists is not working that day. We appreciate the improvements made to the Admin area like allowing a sidecar template. What used to be a PITA repetitive workflow is now significantly more streamlined.

GoTo Connect is constantly developing and enhancing their software to bring our business more solutions to improve the customer experience, and the User Interface to customize just about anything is very intuitive and easy to learn.
We use GoTo Connect for internal collaboration, client clarification calls, and discussions during deployment or production issues. It lets our team members instantly connect through the desktop app, review call history, and continue discussions without switching platforms. It helps to keep our communication structured and lets us focus on development and debugging tasks.
Pros
Desktop and mobile apps make it easy to join calls.
Call quality is stable even during long discussions.
Simple interface and easy to setup.
Cons
Minimal UI customization options.
Call analytics are more business focused than engineering focused.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited if you need reliable voice communication with a simple interface that requires no technical setup or maintenance. Not suitable for those in need of a deep chat-based collaboration tool.
Disappointed with the service. Call quality was often inconsistent. The call flow / dial plan interface was frustrating to use, especially the arrows linking extensions, which were difficult to delete.
We were quoted for 7 licenses but billed for 12. Although this was later corrected, GoTo refused to refund the 5 extra licenses. Worse, the extra licenses were not visible in the admin portal, so we couldn’t catch the issue sooner.
Would not recommend.
Pros
customer service availability
customer service politeness
Some useful features are integrated (such as text-to-voice transcription to set up for voicemail messages).
Cons
Refusal to refund our overcharged licenses
Audio quality of telephone communications
It is impossible to set a line transfer to an external number based on the time of day. You have to change it manually every time.
Arrows in the dial plan are difficult to delete, making any modifications frustrating.
Likelihood to Recommend
Responsive customer service, but otherwise disappointing. In my opinion, they will still take your money even when they are clearly in the wrong I feel. Audio quality is often poor, and there are several limitations in the admin portal. Would not recommend.

We currently use GoTo for our Phone Management System. We enjoy the capability of servicing our own account, but also benefit from having the support of the customer service team in case we encounter something we cannot figure out ourselves. We have used the system for over 6+ years and could not recommend the services more.
Pros
Self Service.
Online System Functionality.
Ease of Use.
Customer Support.
Cons
The Website always takes a long time to load.
Likelihood to Recommend
The self-service feature is great for being able to make quick changes when needed. The new website update has also made editing the system easier, as well as the AI support feature. The only issue we have had is not being able to navigate complex issues on our own, but the support team is always helpful in assisting us with those problems.
Our company currently uses GoTo Connect for the contact center. This helps us manage our call flow, recordings help with quality assurance and customer satisfaction. We have also used the dashboard for agent performance which have helped us tremendously find any weak links in the contact center department.
Pros
Route calls
Fast Merchant Support
User Friendly
Cons
Reporting
Call Pulling
Missed, Abandoned Call Accuracy
Likelihood to Recommend
I think GoTo Connect has major benefits to fast growing companies such at ourselves. The contact center dashboard has helped myself (Manager) keep our customer service part of the company at bay. I love that I can find most calls to be on the positive side.

We switched from Mitel Connect to GoTo Connect back in 2023/2024 due to Mitel being sold off to RingCentral. GoTo Connect just had more features and easy admin ability for the IT department. The integration of SMS and mobile app has provided a robust feature set and simplistic use.
Pros
SMS integration
Mobile App
Voicemail Management
Cons
Could use some finesse with setups and changes of users.
Likelihood to Recommend
Initial setup, current management and site application for PC and Cell Phones
