We are a small leadership development and coaching/mentoring institution, and the Nextiva Business Phone Service system satisfies all of our needs. We are satisfied with the NEXTIVA technical support center and its ability to provide prompt and quality solutions to our needs.
  • Excellent customer service
  • Outstanding technical support
  • Make our business easy to manage
  • Corrections to many software glitches were taken care
  • I can't think of anything else.
When we started business in South America, and Barcelona, the NEXTIVA team was there for us. We had to carry-on a meeting at one point and the results were there without interruptions or glitches. The NEXTIVA team was there to guide us all the way prior and after our global meeting.

The beginning phase and implementation process to convert from our previous landline internet system was tedious and took several months which was shock, however, there was a great deal of communication even though the communication came from several different agents and several different platforms and spreadsheets and we are small business. I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be for a business with hundreds of employees or several different chains of call flows and sub schedules.

Once the implemtation occured, there were few snags, and we hit the ground running. Any sort of issues that we encountered we were able to quickly change or fix by logging in to software and managing through the basic web site and just messing around in the various screens. Customer service was easy to get to most times and did not have long waits and we have not had a time when service has been down unless the internet was down locally through our own internet service provider in our direct neighborhood.
  • Customer Service
  • Easy to use website
  • call flow management
  • initial implementation
  • timeframe of service start up
Larger companies would need a really strategic plan and very descriptive call flow worked out of what they would need before beginning any sort of talks with a company like this. In my opinion. We had very few needs and it took us so many back and forth conversations and changes and spreadhseets, it was months before we could get it right and we have less than 10 employees in our office and very few days we are closed during the year due to the nature of our business.

We are a small remote business and the Nextiva Business Phone Service system satisfies all of our needs. No hardware is required and a mobile phone or laptop is easily compatible. Setup is easy and our customers have never complained about a bad connection or dropped call.
Anytime we ever had a small issue or question, Nextiva Business Phone Service support has been very helpful. This is definitely a product I would recommend.
  • No hardware needed
  • Ease of use
  • Call clarity is very good
  • Customer service is very helpful
  • There is a learning curve to setting up the callflow for your business
  • Every now and then the system is down
Nextiva Business Phone Service is a perfect product for a small business. It's reasonably priced and you don't pay more until your company grows. In addition, there is no hardware required. Part of our remote team uses their laptop to receive and make calls, other team members use their mobile phone. I can't think of a feature that our business would need that Nextiva Business Phone Service doesn't already provide.

We use Nextiva Business Phone Service in our everyday workday. We work in the restoration industry and have incoming calls at all hours! It is great to have a reliable app to answer emergency phone calls where ever we are! The app is easy to use. It allows all of us to have access to our phone calls without having to be in office and just be able to use our cellphones at home.

Thank you!
  • Transferring Calls
  • Phone Recording
  • Easy App
  • Make faster wait
Having a recorded line and us being able to have an app and ability to download and save all recorded calls. The app is really easy to use

We don't like with the recorded line it has the recording but then it has some recording from Nextiva Business Phone Service you cant delete!

We use Nextiva Business Phone Service for voice and FAX, and we were able to totally eliminate our VOIP phone system which consisted of hardware based equipment. They allow for access via the web or using the app from anywhere. We now have one integrated solution that is easy for everyone to use.
  • Allows for use of voice from multiple devices
  • Has an economical pricing plan
  • They have excellent tech support
  • Some settings needed to be adjusted after porting lines over
I would highly recommend Nextiva Business Phone Service for any company looking for flexibility and ease of management of their voice lines. FAX is also covered, but in a separate app. Ideally, I would like to see those integrated, but it's not a big deal.

Switched from POTS to Nextiva Business Phone Service over 5 years ago. Has performed flawlessly, and voice mail (auto attendant) is fabulous.
  • Reliable
  • Voice Mail (auto attendant)
  • Remote Access
  • Customer service
  • Fax module could use improvement
  • Outgoing faxes should reflect time zone where the fax originated, rather than using MST
When something simply works well, it is hard to specify what works with the service. But I will say that customer support if fabulous. I've only had two or 3 issues over the years, in each case relating to odd configuration settings that neither I nor they could figure out how the configuration got changed. But in each case, knowledgeable support staff found the problem and resolved it!

Our company uses Nextiva Phone Systems in all the offices, and since its inception, we have been satisfied. There's never any service issue and there has never been static on the phone. The phones must work consistently and without issue. Whenever I needed to call customer service, I did not have to wait to speak with someone. They answered the phone quickly and addressed my issue without complaints.
  • The sound is very clear.
  • Transferring calls are very simple.
  • I was able to set up all the phones myself, and I programmed them with ease.
  • They are sleek looking and add nice flair to the office.
  • Honestly, I cannot think of anything.
It's a perfect phone system that does what it says it will do. It works wonderfully for our offices.

I use Nextiva Business Phone Service to facilitate an outreach project for my organization. I was able to set up a 24/7 automated informational hotline using Nextiva Business Phone Service that hosts a menu of audio recordings and a voicemail system.
  • Ease of use
  • Reliable technical support
  • Value and Affordability
  • Larger audio file hosting capability
Nextiva Business Phone Service is well suited to users who need to set up an automated phone menu. The system allows for quick and easy setup of a business phone menu and voicemail system. Voicemails are sent directly to the user's email address and are easily downloadable.

It is our primary phone system for our offices. Receive calls, route to voicemail, forward to cellphones when working remote. Conference calls in individual offices and in group meetings to augment videoconferencing. This was the solution we choose to replace outdated equipment that was over 10 years old and wanted to outsource the infrastructure for the phone system.
  • Call Greeting
  • Forward Calls to another phone like cell phone
  • Place calls from contacts within Nextiva Business Phone Service and other contacts
  • Allow programming of speed dial on desktop
  • Screens are too shiny and reflect overhead light
  • Simpler GUI, less steps to do things like forward phone, one button perhaps
Any company that has multiple offices either within the same building or geopraphical region. If your company wants an automated solution to call handling to replace either a receptionist or a professional call answering center, this would be a good solution. Also, if like us, you wish to outsource the phone server infrastructure, this is a good solution.

I called Nextiva needing some changes made to our account. The changes were not easy and I would never had been able to figure out how to make them myself on the web portal. The customer service person handled all of my needs fast and efficiently. What I thought was going to be difficult he made easy!

We are a charter school. We were using an analog line through a national phone company. We need to expand and update our phone services to VoIP. Nextiva's pricing compared very well with what we were already paying for less service. Before the switch, teachers had to go to the main office to contact parents by phone. Switching to Nextiva allowed us to put a phone in every classroom, making communication for our teachers much easier. Now, they can make parental calls from the classrooms. Having the push-to-talk option also has been great for classroom communication.
  • Customer support
  • Reliability
  • There is nothign I would change
Having VoIP has been a game changer for our school. Every classroom has a dedicated phone and extension.

We use Nextiva for everyday business communication. Everything from calls to voicemail,faxes and text messages. Having the ability to have my business name appear as the caller ID is crucial and give more of a professional look and feel. The capabilities using Nextiva are endless. The goal is to have all future employees integrated into Nextiva
  • Voicemail
  • Texting
  • Call quality
  • Cheaper pricing
  • Cell phone sales
  • Business logo addition
You get a lot of features for the price, including auto attendants, call forwarding, voicemail transcription, video conferencing, and integrations with CRM software. These features can improve communication efficiency and customer service. Nextiva's plans can grow with your business, so you don't have to worry about outgrowing your phone system

We have about 60 Polycom phones distributed in 5 satellite offices and managed by a vendor and myself. The phones have been relatively easy to setup, easy to distribute to other offices with no glitches. Easy to forward and retrieve messages.
  • Intuitive administration
  • Voicemail to text delivered to email
  • Softphone setup
  • Management of texting app
  • would rather see 4 digit exts instead of DD
  • auto-update directory when new phones are added
We have a program that needs all 4 of their phones to ring at once, but have call-out functionality separate. Does groups well.
A couple programs love the voicemail to text in email option.

Have not had luck with the texting app on smartphones ..... too many hoops to jump through since the law changed about business texting.

Nextiva is what my employer uses and has us techs use as an app on our phones to take and make work calls. The app is easy to use and the connections stay solid. No complaints.
  • Fast connection
  • easy app
  • we get our own number
We use the app pretty much every day to connect to our office and report what work we do each site. We also are able to receive text messages from customers sent to our business number rather than need to give them our personal cell phone numbers. That way we can keep some privacy.

My office have been using Nextiva phone service since opening the office. We utilize all the features that the service offers. The fax feature is very easy the follow and use. I haven’t run across any issues with the service that would cause any problems or issues with daily usage. The phone is about 95% of our business due to referral or outbound calls.
  • Great customer service

We were able to combine 800# Call Flow, Fax, and multiple business line services into one provider lowering our costs by over $400/month. Our Call Flow, Fax and business lines are now all managed under one easy to use online platform.
  • Quick delivery of systems
  • Number porting support
  • Excellent technical support team
  • Longer than expected wait time for support chat service
Our company has just implemented Nextiva services but as a smaller company, cost savings is always a priority. Nextiva will not only aid in productivity but it will do so at a significant monthly savings.

I use Nextiva auto attendant to route calls for my main line to employees with each employee also having their own individual phone number set up with voicemail. They also provide a fax number for the company for the few times a year it is needed. I use the Yealink phone with Nextiva.
  • Good sales support
  • Good technical service support
  • Clear phone calls.
  • Their web based admin is usable and works well with no glitches but would appreciate a facelift as far as layout.
I started with another phone company starting with the letter O. I spent at least 20 hours trying to get their phone service to work properly. They issued me a number that wasn't properly assigned to them. After a month or two I gave up and found Nextiva. Nextiva got everything correct the first time and were upfront with all pricing.

We’re a small start up logistics and trucking company. Nextiva has allowed us to give off a bigger company image with its business line service. Calls are flawless. Now customers can call us on our main line or the toll free number. Which is great before I was using Google Voice and didn’t get a number in my area. With Nextiva we got a local number. Thanks
  • Easy to use
  • Reliable
  • Fair rate
  • So far so good
  • Monitoring
  • More Metrics
I make a lot of outbound calls, therefore it’s nice to be able to track those calls. When we eventually expand to more clients and get more employees we’ll be able to see more of whose doing what. Which will be a great way to track metrics. So far no issues.

Nextiva makes it possible to get our phone lines thoughout our company in sync. This company makes it easy for people to contact our business. The company allows us to route calls accordingly easily through the system. They make it possible to retrieve calls in a timely manner with the routing of calls . I haven’t seen an issue that they cannot resolve in a timely manner .
  • Coordinating phone systems to users
  • Support for issues are taken care of in a timely manner
  • Staff are really easy to work with
I had a phone down and needed to reset and the staff was really kind working to get it fixed.I believe this phone system is perfect for a growing business. I believe it might not be the greatest for smaller business but definitely business looking to scale there employee base and have enough phone lines to keep up with growth of a business.

I'm a virtual assistant and Nextiva is helping me a lot contacting my client's customers. It's so easy to use not like the other platforms that they need to install a lot of tools before you can use it. And also, my co-workers from previous company are still using Nextiva up until now meaning they also really like how Nextiva works.
  • Voice calls
  • Sending SMS
  • Voice messages
  • Accuracy of transcription (voice messages)
  • Sometimes unknown errors
  • Sometimes but very few (Late receiving messages)
Nextiva is so easy to use. We don't need to watch any tutorial. It;s like you're using your dial pad on the phone. That's how it's easy to use. Maybe just need to make the transcription of voice message more accurate. It's really hard to look for a convenient and easy to use VOIP here in the Philippines. Big thanks to Nextiva.

We migrated Cisco Call Manager to Nextiva Business Phone Service, and we saved a lot. Cisco Call Manager like other hosted PBXs is associated with CapeX and OpeX you need a well-trained IT to manage and technical support contracts,...etc.

with Nextiva Business Phone Service we we saved a lot with more features, great service, and free technical support.
  • Easy Auto Attendant setup and call flow
  • Free Technical support and quick response
  • multi platform phone device, descktop app, and mobile app
  • provide Admin with more access to the backend setup
because it is a cloud-based system, you can deploy it in multiple buildings, locations, and states, and users can make calls internally with 4-digit extensions in addition to managing them from one spot.
You can connect phone devices on different LAN/VLAN without any issue
