Overall Satisfaction with Grasshopper

My organization used Grasshopper to connect callers with departments and individuals instead of a landline. The whole organization used it and it helped cut the cost of a trunk line for all of the extensions we needed. The support was pretty good with a fast response rate but the system was not particularly user-friendly and required an in-office support person to utilize it well.
  • Customer support is pretty good which is important if you're managing the lines for your company.
  • Their pricing is competitive with other services of this type.
  • Their interface is not the worst I've seen.
  • Their pricing could be more competitive for what they offer.
  • It's been a while since I've used Grasshopper but their extension logic wasn't all that great.
  • I'd like to see how they could improve the speed of technical support.
I've used RingCentral (RC) to replace Grasshopper as the company I worked for scaled up and required more lines. It was just more cost-effective to go with RingCentral and use their hardware to manage the lines. RC was generally more difficult to support and understand than Grasshopper, but the call clarity was similar.
For a smaller company it's a great tool. Be careful with extra pricing for things you don't need. A larger company would probably find Grasshopper somewhat limiting so be prepared to scale to a different model. A very small company would be priced out of Grasshopper although it would make a 1 or 2 person office sound way bigger.
