Overall Satisfaction with Broadvoice

We have about 175 users spread throughout the state. Some work from home and some work in one of our nine locations. Even before COVID we needed a phone system that was easy to setup and that was mobile. We started using Broadvoice in 2018 after moving away from an on-prem phone system. Broadvoice was able to bring over all of our call flows and phone numbers making it easy for us to migrate over from the existing system.
  • Easy portal interface
  • Helpful tech support
  • SD-WAN solution that works well
  • Mobile app needs to be revamped in my opinion.
  • Getting additional phones that are programmed takes too long I believe.
  • Mobile app option makes allows our staff to communicate with clients from anywhere
  • Easy to use portal allows support staff to make changes quickly
  • Automated attendant is easy to follow and make changes on the fly

Yes

Would you buy Broadvoice again?

Yes

I think that for the majority of features, Broadvoice does a good job. They make migration very easy when porting over complicated call flows. Most staff, even non-technical staff are able to navigate the portal pretty easily. For users who use the mobile app, they seem to have a hard time with dropped calls and features that are not available on the physical phone in my experience.
