Overall Satisfaction with Broadvoice

We use Broadvoice to provide digital phone service for about 20 people, plus our company's general-delivery mailbox. This allows our people to use their work numbers to call and text-message (as well as videoconference and fax) from any device, including their own mobile phones (we are a bring-your-own-device environment). This eliminates the need for company-provided cell phones and desktop phones.

When I used Microsoft Teams telephony service, I didn't have the ability to send a text message to a cell phone, nor could I send faxes. As far as I can see, this gives Broadvoice's b-hive a distinct advantage over Teams telephony.

Broadvoice's b-hive Communicator service seems well-suited for companies that want to provide their employees with all the functionality and convenience of a company-issued cell phone and fax machine without providing, provisioning, and tracking company-owned devices. Having the b-hive app installed on my phone allows me to place calls and send texts from my work number without using or maintaining a separate device and silence the app outside of business hours (equivalent to shutting off my company cell phone at the end of the day). The fax functionality is also especially valuable for remote workers who may not have easy access to an in-office machine — it saves us a trip to Kinko's!
