Switched from cable provided telephone service to Ooma Office. It allows users to work from home by taking a phone home with them or using their cell phones. Users can also work while traveling using their cell phones. Texting comes in handy at times. Voicemail to Email transcription is helpful also.
  • Allow users to work from practically anywhere
  • Cut down on telephone expense considerably
  • Ability to use cell phones and still show an office number
  • Logging into the app seems slow on Windows and Cell Phones both
  • Call Logging is a little cumbersome to review
  • Texting to other numbers requires adding them as a contact
It is working great for us as users who work remotely and while traveling. My only hesitation in recommending it would be for users without good internet service or good cell phone service one.

Ooma Office has become an integral part of our small business and I can take Ooma Office wherever I go.
  • Communicate using app
  • Communicate via office phone
  • Communicate via voice message
  • International free calls needed
  • Must be able to take anywhere in the world where internet is available
  • Must have robocall blocking as standard
While awaiting an important call for our company, I was able to attend to an emergency trusting that the Ooma Office app will direct the call to my cell phone app and it did. It was a great relief.

I was using another VOIP company for phones and a different company for fax service and was contacted by Ooma. They showed me their program which was less money and free faxes included. I was able to cancel the other two companies and save the entire amount I paid for fax service. Since the covid hit, I have worked from home a lot, and the fact that I can answer calls on my Ooma cell phone app or my laptop computer any time, any place, anywhere allows me to not be in the office, but still receive all my calls. They have cut my communications bill in half. I highly recommend them.
  • Allows me to answer the phone any time and anywhere
  • offers free fax service
  • Gives me the freedom to leave the office and still be connected.
  • I wish there was a way to stop calls that have a spoofed caller ID number.
  • I would like to be able to have different ring tones for my personal cell calls and my business Ooma app calls.
Ooma has worked well for me in all areas because if I have wifi or a cell tower connection anywhere in the world, I can make or receive Ooma business calls. I love the price too! I am totally happy with them and have recommended Ooma to several other businesses and I have not had anyone tell me they have had problems since switching to Ooma.

Ooma Office is our telephone system that we use in the office. It is absolutely crucial to my practice. I have clinics in 3 different locations and another physician uses one of my offices 3 days a week. I have one centralized number that I can forward to whatever office we are in that day and a "virtual receptionist" that includes a phone tree before the phone even rings in the office that directs the other physician's patients to his number. It allows me to check messages even on the weekends and when we are not in the office.
  • Versatile
  • Cost-effective
  • Internet based and allows for mobility
  • Easy to use app that allows me to forward calls and check messages from my cell phone from anywhere
  • Customer service takes several calls to fix a complicated issue
Very well suited to small businesses because it is very cost effective and can be managed from anywhere. I have forwarded calls and checked messages from the Carribean and Europe! I can't imagine in a scenario, however, where it would not be well suited! Any business that uses phones or faxes would find this useful.

Ooma is pretty good and cheaper than having a landline service agreement with a cable or internet company. It is very easy to use and it has saved me money. I also love the application, which allows me to answer my phone wherever I am. I do not have to be stuck at my office to conduct business, since I can call Clients, via the Ooma application, on the go. The virtual assistant feature is a plus.
  • Virtual Assistant.
  • Call Transfer.
  • App.
  • Texting Feature.
Ooma is well suited for any business that wishes to save money, those who need to be in and out of the office and still take calls and conduct business on the go, and for those that want to contact clients without using their own personal number, since it always appears as if you are calling from your office number.

I currently use the Ooma Office platform as my standalone VOIP setup. I've changed offices a few times in the past couple of years and needed a VOIP solution in case I couldn't port over a traditional phone number. Ooma Office has solved that issue for me nicely.
  • Cost effective
  • Solid call quality
  • Easy interface
  • Customer service leaves a little to be desired
  • Calls will randomly drop for no rhyme or reason despite having a steady internet connection
I can only speak for myself being a solo business owner but I would think Ooma Office would work well for just about any organization that is looking for a cost-effective VOIP solution. I can't speak to its effectiveness for larger companies, as I'm just not sure.

It has allowed us to eliminate the spam callers as well give our mobile and remote users the ability to make business calls - from any device, from anywhere, at any time - without having to worry about any long distance charges, or without giving up their personal telephone numbers (at home or cellular).

We have multiple lines used for phone calls and faxes. We used the [Ooma Office] mobile app heavily as we are now working from home. The savings switching from previous phone provider has been tremendous.
  • Inter phone conferencing
  • Phone clarity, no distortions
  • Mobile app access
  • Faxing has to be done thru website access
  • Integration of phone contacts on mobile app changes my caller id for those contacts
[Ooma Office is] well suited: companies with high internet speeds, saving money monthly, working remotely

Less appropriate: faxing, phone conferencing with customers

Ooma Office has made mobility a reality in our office. We are able to take calls from anywhere and keep in communication with each other as well. The features of this product are easy to use and customer support is exceptional. The set up of the equipment is easy and tech support is there to help you along the way 24/7.
  • Mobility
  • Call forwarding
  • Virtual receptionist
  • The app needs more functionality.
  • No other issues to report room for improvement.

Ooma Office is well suited for scenarios in which you cannot be physically in your office; you can use the app to take, make, and forward calls. The voicemail to email feature allows you to keep up with all pending messages, and the fax to email and conference lines make communications that much easier.

Ooma is used across the entire organization both in-office and remotely. The ease of adaptability to transition to working remotely was a huge reason to work with Ooma.
  • Ease of use.
  • Equipment options.
  • Ability to work remotely and not miss calls.
  • Customer service.
  • Some options not available on equipment is limiting in some cases.
  • Technical issues can sometimes be difficult for the agents to fix.
  • Sometimes service goes down even with a strong internet connection.
If you are in and out of the office but want to be able to get calls and make calls using the office number, Ooma is great. Also the cost is great and a huge savings compared to other options.

We use Ooma Office as our main phone line; it helps us manage calls, takes messages, and assists us in having all the information we need to call back a potential client or current client.
  • Records and saves messages with the caller's phone number.
  • Answers calls that I cannot get to because I am with a client or at court.
  • Forwards calls to my cell phone that are not being answered in my office.
  • Sometimes the connection is spotty or conversation is choppy/unclear.
I think it is a good product for a solo practitioner or attorney working on his/her own because it is helpful like an assistant would be in answering calls, forwarding messages, etc. and is priced competitively (not a high-risk monthly cost; no contracts).

Ooma Office is our business phone telecommunication, we have a small family business, so everyone uses it. Now that it allows us to send and receive text, we are able to reach our customers without spending a long time on the phone. I like that we're able to use the app on our phone, tablets, and computer.
  • Cost effective.
  • Usage on different platforms.
  • User friendly.
  • Needs to allow attached files or pictures on the text messaging app.
  • Have it, so it's all connected on all platforms.
  • Spam blocker?
It's a great pricing for 3 lines, toll number, fax... The fax app is pretty simple and useful for those that still use fax, and I like how I am able to delete junk faxes.

I'd like to see the app on our mobile devices have more versatility. I'd love to have the ability to attach PDF for invoicing or purchase orders, since now, everyone is connected to their mobile devices.

I began using Ooma Office on a recommendation from a colleague. As a small Yoga studio owner I was in need of a VoIP system that would allow me to reduce the number of unnecessary calls as well as to direct clients to the most appropriate information. Calls are directed to my office, cell, or personal line dependent upon the selection chosen by the caller. It has helped to filter out spam and reduce how much time I waste answering the phone. The virtual assistant manages most everything for me.

After closing my brick and mortar it was easy for me to continue receiving calls without the hassle of dealing with the telephone or internet companies. No one would ever know that everything is now being routed through my home office.
  • The administrative assistant eliminates spam calls.
  • Call forwarding allows routing to the best number.
  • The price point is reasonable for small businesses.
  • Direct recording to the administrative assistant would make changing the message easier.
Ooma Office is great for those wishing to use a VoIP system to manage calls. I like it because it reduces the number of calls coming into my cell phone and keeps the number private from spammers. I also like being able to filter out robo-calls because of the need to choose a number prior to accessing a real person.

Ooma Office is used across our entire company. The virtual receptionist feature allows us to have all the benefits of a receptionist without needing an additional employee. I love that when customers call, they can access the virtual receptionist. They can find answers to commonly asked questions without needing to speak to an employee. The virtual receptionist feature also allows customers to directly contact their desired party with an extension.
  • Virtual receptionist.
  • Call forwarding.
  • Emailed voicemail files.
  • Very affordable.
  • Voicemail transcription.
  • When call forwarding, incoming calls could say they are from Ooma app.
Ooma is great for small businesses who have a reliable internet connection. The switch from a major provider to Ooma was simple and painless. We are saving a significant amount of money each month by using Ooma Office for our phone service. Ooma might not be appropriate for a large scale company with several extensions.

Used across whole organization. Allows remote access to work from home and if internet or power is not available. Also allows texting & receiving texts. Also has virtual fax and virtual conference rooms that we use often for phone conferences with clients and vendors. A great, robust system that is reasonably priced.
  • Remote access to receive calls, voicemails, and make remote calls from your extension showing the corporate main line number.
  • Allows texting and receiving texts- great to verify your business through Google.
  • Virtual Conference rooms work with little effort and are dependable.
  • Ooma has the features I want. I don't think I need anything else.
Works great for one business phone line or multiple extensions. Even supports ring groups and voice mails via email. Love it.

The whole organization uses Ooma for our phone system. We have a desktop phone but also mobile and fax lines for each employee. We also enabled the text messaging feature, so everyone can text from the company's main number or their own direct number. Each person has an extension off the main number and their own direct number, as well as their own digital fax (works like a normal fax but you can send a PDF or receive and it turns into a PDF) number.
  • Pricing - much more reasonable cost than our previous hard line phone system.
  • Convenience.
  • Ease of use.
  • Connection issues.
  • Calls dropped every once in a while.
  • You have to make sure the app stays up to date.
For companies where employees can work remotely, the mobile lines are key. Desktop phones can almost not even be used for everyone. Consider having desktop phones if everyone is in the office and makes a lot of calls. Otherwise the mobile lines are pretty much all you would need. It is great as employees take their phones with them anyway, and we found that employees don't like to carry around 2 cell phones. So just having the app and a dedicated work line solves the issue.

Ooma Office supports our official company phone number. We use it in the office, our laptops, and through the mobile app. It is being used by everyone in the office. Ooma Office solved two main business problems. It reduced our phone and fax service costs significantly and it provided easy mobile access to calls and messages.
  • Consolidated phone and fax services in one.
  • Saved over $100.00 a month.
  • Provides a mobile app that is easy to access and use.
  • Provides a desktop solution that is easy to access and use.
  • None, for us, but...since I have to identify some...
  • Desktop phone app could be included in basic plan instead of extra.
  • Voicemail transcription could be included in basic plan instead of extra.
It is a perfect small business solution where you have a strong and reliable internet connection and want to port your existing # and use your existing phones. That was our case which is why it has worked out very well. The monthly cost savings was significant which made the upfront cost for the device easy to accept.

Ooma Office replaced our Verizon landline service for about 1/3 the price and with many more features of which we really use a few. The ones we like best are: 1) Low price and high quality voice. 2) Virtual assistant 3) Mobile app letting us make or take calls that appear to be from the office wherever I am with cell or internet service! 4) Ability to easily use my existing analog phones. 5) Voice messages delivered via email. 6) Call history and tracking. I'm very pleased with Ooma Office and even with our very basic use it's made our business life simpler and more efficient.
  • Voice mail delivery via email.
  • Mobile app giving office phone access while out and about.
  • Saving significant money over Verizon.
  • The mobile app could start ringing sooner.
This is a small business office. I'd say no more than 30 or 50 extensions. Not really good for large business. In my case we are in the center of the target market for Ooma. I like the mixed connectivity too: analog and IP phones make for a lot of good options.
