Chose eVoice
I was not an employee when Onebox was selected, but I have used Avaya and Nortel PBXs in the past and while it is not as powerful, it has a lot of great features and a much lower cost of entry.
Hiya Connect
Chose Hiya Connect
We selected Hiya Connect because it had the best contract and cost structure.
Chose Hiya Connect
I have not reviewed alternatives. We went with Hiya Connect at a time where there were not many options existing. Hiya Connect appeared to be the most user friendly solution at the time and they promised the numbers would be good to go extremely fast - which they were. The next …

EVoice offers its customers a better way to connect. It reduces the cost of repairs, maintenance, long distance calls. eVoice helps to save your money. Everything is okay, but sometimes it could appear that it takes more steps to record a message; this issue could be simplified, and the interface could be updated.

If you are looking for a tool that will immediately begin to brand your calls this is a great option. Easy to use and implement, but it can be pricey for something that used to be more common. If you are looking a dialer this is not their functionality, strictly focus on the branded side.

Cons
  • The scheduling is very granular, but the interface for setting up the schedule isn't the easiest to navigate.
  • I would like the ability to copy or clone schedules. We have 3 different schedules on three different hunt groups and when there are changes to be made, I would like to be able to make the change on one schedule and copy that for another hunt group.
  • The interface for the users to change some of their settings (password, phone, email, etc) isn't very user friendly. I usually have to walk users through changes, and at that point, it is easier for me to just make the changes myself.

Hiya Connect is really easy to implement and use. The dashboard and analytics on the website are easy to use and understand. The implementation period took less than a week -- it was as seamless as it can get.
