Considered Both Products
Broadvoice | GoContact
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
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.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Broadvoice seems to be more user friendly and intuitive than the other providers we have used in the past.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
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, …
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Customer service is better.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
We have had zero issues or complaints with Broadvoice. We have used them for 3 years.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Broadvoice handled the setup and walked through each employee on how to use the phones.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
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!
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
I started with ATT openhand service and their support and onboarding were so bad. I couldn't get the call groups setup and talked to a different person all the time. The project was expensive and dug on forever. We ended up getting out of the contract. We were able to use …
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
We have not used any other systems.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
There was no comparison for me. Google voice annoyed anyone calling in, was delayed in relaying missed calls and texts, and was not user friendly in my opinion. Broadvoice is leaps and bounds ahead for business purposes. It addresses each of those concerns and provides a …
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
We saw the reviews from other people and decided to go with Broadvoice. We had a lot of questions that got answered. They have a great service and provide great customer service. At this moment we only use a fraction of the services you provide but I'm sure in no time we will …
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Bria did not have the near the capabilities that Broadvoice has to offer. Broadvoice is easy to use and you are able to make quick decisive decisions at ease. The transferring of calls is top notch!
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Compared to other systems, add-ons were necessary or charges for more accessible features. Our current plan with Broadvoice has never changed and we have always had the same amount of options & services, so much we cannot use half of them yet, but hope to as we grow. Service …
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
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.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Broadvoice is ideal for businesses that need a reliable, easy -to-use VoIP solution without the complexity of an all-encompassing communication suite. Its streamlined interface and simple feature set allow for faster onboarding and less training time. Broadvoice offers strong …

The other voip organization I looked into was very pushy. I appreciated Broadvoice's hands off approach.

Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
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.
Chose Broadvoice | GoContact
Can't compare Avaya to Broadvoice as the environment in which they were used are completely different.
CloudCall
Chose CloudCall
CloudCall is much better and easier functionality with more options.
Chose CloudCall
Cloud Call has better integrations, much better customer service. ShoreTel is a huge and we are a small customer, Cloud Call has treated us as if we are important to them, ShoreTel did not.

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.

I think CloudCall is better for enterprises that need to keep the clients and employees in contact but on a professional basis. Talking over the phone makes a person understand better as compared to email conversations and takes less time too, so, CloudCall fits the gap by providing better quality calls and gives analytics as well.

Pros
  • 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
  • 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.

  • Price is a bit more so i think that should be reduced.
  • Support team remains unresponsive sometimes which makes us to hold the process.
  • Connection gets interchanged while moving from mobile data to wifi.

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
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

Performance
Any issues are usually overcome fairly quickly. We don't utilize reports offered by the system - we are a small company and the monitoring that would provide is just not something we would utilize.

Support Rating
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.

Implementation Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
