Overall Satisfaction with GoToConnect (formerly Jive)
GoToConnect (formerly Jive) is the VOIP phone solution for the entire company. It allows us to manage and update settings for each branch individually, while retaining a cohesive overview of the phone system in one place. We also use GoToConnect for video interviews and interoffice training/troubleshooting. I can share my screen with them for training, or watch them reproduce the error in real time. I LOVE the ability to take control of a remote worker's mouse/keyboard in order to show them what to do, or make changes for them. I no longer have to talk them through a process; now I can show them.
- Extremely flexible system design allows you to create practically any phone tree you can imagine.
- Web portal allows updates to be made from anywhere.
- Mobile app allows staff to make and receive calls using the office number, while not physically in the office. Protects employee personal information, and enhances communication flexibility.
- The video conference tool with the ability to control mouse/keyboard is GOLD.
- The central web portal sacrifices intuitive design for a depth of detail / configuration options. It takes a little while to learn exactly how/where to find/update some settings.
- Requiring a specific dialable number to use the 'park' feature means that most staff refuse to use it.
- I wish the voicemails that are emailed to me were playable in my email client, rather than downloading (though I don't think I can blame GoToConnect for that).
- It's slightly unintuitive to invite someone to a video conference meeting.
- We are easily able to expand coverage to a new branch, and set up new connections very smoothly.
- We are much more efficient through layering the phone groups that ring for incoming calls based on time unanswered.
- As the system administrator, I have had a very low number of issues that I wasn't able to resolve on my own.
Yes - The phone system is dramatically better than our last phone system. The video conference system is superb.
