This is one of the most complete internet phone call software, with a whole system and very useful tools such as call reports, call recording, chat, mobile access, and more, which allow you to have better management of customer interactions and improve customer service and sales.
  • Provides real-time analytics and reports that show agent performance during a call, email, or chat, analyzing conversations and indicating where to improve.
  • All call recording features are very easy to access and configure such as regular call recordings and scheduled recordings for specific customers.
  • As it is a cloud-based software with mobile access, we can use it outside the office without any problems, just with the phone and internet connection.
Cons
  • I understand that it is a cloud system and needs the internet to make calls, but they should allow logging into the system offline, to review reports, client management, and other functions that could work without the internet.
  • High-quality internet is needed for calls to be heard and recorded perfectly and without interference, especially if they are made with mobile and phone data.
  • Its interface is easy to use, but to the eye, it looks outdated, they could modernize its design, but that's just a personal taste.
We consider that it is a very complete internet call software that is worth having in all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service agents because, with all its tools, agents improve their workday by day.
  • Real-time reporting and analytics, showing agent performance on different communication channels.
  • It has call recording, scheduled recording, and specific recording, being able to control whether it is required to record all calls or only some of the calls of specific customers.
  • It allows access through cell phones, as it is a cloud-based software and can be used wherever there is an internet connection.

Spitfire Management is a small software company. We switched from a receptionist to VirtualPBX over a decade ago and honestly never looked back. It has all the features we need and was easy to set up, even Sales and Support Queues. Voicemail to email is such a joy, we should have switched even earlier.
  • Easy to set up your menu and record greetings and Prompts
  • Forwards to our cell phones or landlines -- and voicemail to email
  • Allows outbound calls on the rare occasion we require hiding
  • Simple website for end users - but they almost never need to use it.
Cons
  • Sometimes a forwarded call barely gives you enough time to answer. Yes, you can increase the time - but that is tougher on the caller.
Lets face it, for many businesses these days a phone call is an annoyance - even more annoying than another email. Using VirtualPBX treats all callers the same. Our support handling directs callers to send and email with images instead - and most callers then do. When a support request is left as a voicemail message, the email with the message joins our email queue - keeping the callers place in line.

  • A tremendous positive impact - no more desk phones, and
  • Positive impact! no more PBX on the wall needing updates
  • Positive impact! - no more PBX "consultant" needed to push a magic series of buttons on some special handset
So much easier than our old PBX or any on-prem PBX I have ever used. We were up and running in an hour. Tweaking the caller menus is so easy.
We did our search over a decade ago - probably 15 years. I no longer recall the competitors we evaluated. Sorry.

I can say that the "would you recommend to a collogue" is not a theoretical question for me in this case. I have recommended VirtualPBX multiple times - and know for a fact that it was selected in at least one of those cases.

Our Sales, accounting and most importantly support teams all rely on VirtualPBX. I imagine that those business functions are ubiquitous and well understood.

Honestly, we spend less than 1 day a year "supporting" VirtualPBX. There is perhaps 15-30 minutes when we on-board a new person. That includes setting up their mailbox, showing them how they use the website and telling them they rarely will and practicing how to handle an inbound call.
  • Support
  • Sales
  • Accounting
  • Avoids 99% of marketing calls
  • Reduced Support requests via telephone
15 years and counting.

As a long-time customer of VirtualPBX dating back to the company's original systems, I am pleased to write a review in support of the product. The problem addressed is the telecommuting environment versus in-office. The new platform is quite impressive and very extensible and it does things we never imagined we could do. Support is great as well. In a corporate or non-profit setting one of the greatest challenges is how phone calls are handled, especially when calls have to go to specific departments or have to be handled by the executive offcies in a certain manner. VirtualPBX setup for a call center ACD was quite comprehensvive but it requires little effort on the part of the telecom manager managing the installation. ii truly went flawlessly in our case and was a tremendous improvement over the limited capabilities available in the original VirtualPBX. It's important also to know how many features and functions employees will have to use and face on day 1. Cutover days for phone systems requires a flack jacket if not more. I've lived through many. I've also almost not lived through several.

The peole from VirtualPBX were on top of every small detail and they actually pushed me instead of vice versa. I found that their ability to track projects and contact with reminders was very welcome.

I am quite grateful to VirtualPBX for having its braintrust come up with this tremendous virtual private branch exchange offering. It is head and shoulders above the rest when you have a largely virtual operation and that is why I was happy to write this review.

My organization has been virtual since the 1980s. We know how hard it is to function without a PBX that functions as the glue that holds the organization together alone with a solid computer network. Anyone managing a hybrid or completely remote enterprise is a candidate for the VirtualPBX platform. Period. End of quote.

  • Our people are able to focus on helping Long Covid patients without worrying about the phone system
  • Planning was simple. Installation was simple. Implementation was simple. The cutover was simple. Does this get my point across?
I used to do usability consulting. I would give the platform 11 if I could.

The platform seems very much designed following usability studies of what actual employees would do in specific scenarios. We haven't encountered anything it cannot do.
We started with the irugubak VirtualPBX around the year 2000. We were extremely satisfied with that and now can't say more about the newly updated version.

As for other system,I did not feel it was at all necessary to investigate given our extreme satisfaction with this vendor
