Avaya is very very good software. Most of the BPOs Contact Center's use them. They are very easy to use and don't use too much data also. Also, their user interface is very easy, especially for people who are not technically sound. The reports can be customized according to …

I would rather not mention other companies by name, but many service providers in this field do not have the functionality that Broadvoice offers, and certainly not the tech support to back it up.

Broadvoice seems to be more user friendly and intuitive than the other providers we have used in the past.

Broadvoice was a much better value. We saved over 50% and the features and benefits are very similar. We did not lose anything in terms of capabilities and saved a lot of money. The team that took care of the installation was amazing and helpful and if I run into issues, …

Broadvoice onboarding blows away 8x8. We were left on our own to figure out how to setup everything. The auto attendant at 8x8 was also left for us to figure out so we never used it. Broadvoice guides you and actually does it for you!

Broadvoice is a supported hardware from our 3rd party IT provider. In addition, the cost of equipment and reoccurring monthly costs were very reasonable. I figured if all voice over IPs run off the same internet then why pay more.

We used Comcast Business Voice Edge, but we all had desk phones. We have forced all of our employees to use virtual phones. The cost is so much less and you don't have to miss calls if you are working virtually.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
We selected Broadvoice because it was the best to switch from google voice. Broadvoice is much better as it can be accessed on any computer or phone but you can choose to turn it on or off. The landline feature is also nice.

Can't compare Avaya to Broadvoice as the environment in which they were used are completely different.

Ameyo's Scenario works well : During high volumes large customer support team needs to handle hundreds or thousands of daily inbound inquiries. Agents are handling issues across various channels—voice, email, and chat—and the company needs to ensure a consistent, trackable customer experience. Ameyo’s multi-channel capabilities, coupled with tools for ticketing, call routing, and automated follow-ups, help agents manage large volumes efficiently. Real-time dashboards and performance reports allow supervisors to monitor and manage SLAs closely. Ameyo's Scenario does not works well : For SME or MSME platforms with small team size and low call volumes, Ameyo's extensive features will be too costly and in -effective

I would recommend Broadvoice if a business needs a variety of options for inbound and outbound communication. Examples would be insurance agencies, car dealerships -- just about any business that makes a lot of customer contacts per day. A small retail shop or dry cleaner would not experience the same level of customer engagement. In their case, a regular landline or a designated cell number would work just fine.

Pros
  • Customer Support: Ameyo can be used to manage a customer support team’s interactions. Customer support representatives can handle queries through voice calls, emails, and chat—all through a unified interface.
  • Campaign Management: Marketing and telemarketing teams can use Ameyo to run campaigns targeting different customer segments.
  • Analytics and Reporting: Ameyo’s reporting features help supervisors and managers track KPIs, such as call wait times, first-call resolution rates, customer satisfaction, and agent productivity.
  • Operational Efficiency: Manual handling of communications can be inefficient and error-prone. Ameyo’s automation features reduce the manual workload and improve operational efficiency,

  • Broadvoice is excellent for customizing/tailoring to a business's specific needs.
  • Tech Support is easy to reach, and provides consistent help.
  • Onboarding new customers is very thorough and supportive. Changing phone systems is overwhelming and time-consuming. Broadvoice makes it as easy as possible with clear expectations and fantastic training.

Cons
  • The reporting and analytics capabilities of Ameyo are not as robust as those of some of it rivals , it is challenging for me to evaluate the work of my teams and pinpoint areas for development as a result.
  • It does not integrate with many third party programs, because if this we are finding it challenging to incorporate Ameyo into workflows on larger scale.
  • Customer support managers may find it simpler to create customized reports with Ameyo, managers would then be able to monitor the metrics that matter most to them.

  • When changing users on the URL page there are some steps that can be a bit clunky based on the type of phone you're using.
  • Separating users devices into multiple locations inside the URL is nice but you're not able to move those users around if they do change spots in the company.
  • For some reason within the b-hive mobile app if I miss a call and then go into the app to check the call and exit the app I still show a notification icon constantly. It seems to be related to the the Chat portion of the app. If you go to that part of the app and refresh when you exit the app the notification icon is gone.

Our last phone system was very outdated and we were left not getting calls that we needed nor having a seamless way to change voicemail or to get voicemail if we were out of the office for longer periods of time. Broadvoice has erased these issues and has really made our agency more responsive.

Usability
As I said previously, Ameyo is a good tool however it has a long way to go compared to Avaya. The user interface can be improved a lot as they can use it as an app instead of completely web-based. Also, the reporting can be improved substantially and make the experience much better.

Broadvoice has been a great investment so far! Its system allows you to easily handle multiple lines & provides you with many useful, easy-to-use, features. It delivers faxes right to your email inbox, how much easier can it get? Through their app, it enables you to easily determine if the call is business or personal related. And you are able to answer calls no matter where you are

Customer support also needs to improve for Ameyo. I am not saying it's bad however they need to support the users by customizing the reports as per the requirement of the user. They usually try to refer the user to videos or articles whereas the service for Avaya is that they show you a demo and not only that they customize the reports as per the business requirement

Laura H. our Service Coordinator was exceptionally helpful when the inevitable hiccups occurred along the way. She calmly sought out solutions that kept the project moving so that we could meet our move-out/move-in deadlines. Also, their 24/7 Business Support line is staffed with knowledgeable people that answer my questions quickly and accurately.

It was straightforward to set up. The phone was delivered prior to installation. The script and routing of calls were established prior to installation as well. The on-site technician installed each phone and offered training to anyone who asked. The main setup for hours, calls, and extensions was already set up via online meeting, making the phone install on-site a seamless experience.

  • Sadly I can't quite gather any hard numbers since my use of the product don't extend into the admin level where I can see everything. I can say that since installing the phone at my desk though, I've been more reachable by other staff and therefore more present with current happenings in the workplace.
  • It took a while to get a line for my desk, so I can compare the before and after very clearly. Communication is like night and day, and any questions or problems other coworkers had that in the past they may have had to deal with themselves, they can now reliably reach me and have a convenient option to. This has improved the relationships between me and others at the workplace.
