Considered Both Products
GoTo Connect
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect was more complete and affordable than Zoom for what we needed. Much more affordable than teams, some features were sacrificed, but the overall experience is better in my opinion.
Chose GoTo Connect
As I mentioned, the system has given us the freedom to make changes without depending on the provider. It has also given us options we couldn't imagine being possible in a telephone system. The previous system was too controlled by the provider and didn't show us any reports …
Chose GoTo Connect
I have not managed other phone systems before and have not used phones as a large part of positions that I have had
Chose GoTo Connect
Mounds above any of the compitition. They not only beat them on price but again the customer service part in even winning the bid for us was amazing. They truley went far above any other vendor.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo works as expected, unlike other VOIP providers that often have unfriendly user interfaces and products that don't function as intended.
Chose GoTo Connect
Honestly, we still need to use LogMeIn Rescue because of differences in use cases, and GoTo Meetings leaves a lot to be desired if you are trying to demonstrate how to use different features of Windows or Apple products.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect's pricing is VERY competitive, and, in my opinion, their customer service is MUCH better than Zoom's. Easy to understand their tech support agents' English, and most of their support folks are VERY well trained. You don't typically have to go into "Tier2" or …
Chose GoTo Connect
Avaya IP office was for us a complicated and inflexible on-prem solution. It could be made to do a great many things similar to GoTo, however it was not flexible and scalable in the same way as GoTo, which is to be expected of a cloud solution. In particular, as we aimed to …
Chose GoTo Connect
I think Resolve is easy to navigate and features are constantly being added. It is also very affordable. Easy setup and installation on endpoints with the ability to look at the system without remoting in to pull information. You can easily see where there a security gaps and …
Chose GoTo Connect
It was a touch cheaper, but Goto seemed to provide better value, better support, and seemed easier from a user perspective.
Chose GoTo Connect
I gave RingCentral a chance and nearly switched, but, in my opinion, their platform was terrible and their customer service worse. I understood how they were able to offer such a cheap price. They also claimed they could switch us over seamlessly, but I doubt it highly.
Chose GoTo Connect
The faxes all come to an app that we can download and print the faxes. We have been using RingCentral before we switched to GoTo. We still have RingCentral because it is easy to download and see faxes in their app. I do find having faxes emailed is easy, but not everyone has …
Chose GoTo Connect
We went with GoTo Connect because Mitel was removing its offering of on -premises PBX and forcing users to switch to their cloud offerings. This did not sit well with us which had us looking for alternatives. We met with many vendors and GoTo was the one that made the best …
Chose GoTo Connect
User friendly PBX interface. The above products have a more complex and less intuitive interface design. Pricing is also a big factor, as other products can cost more compared with what GoTo offers. In addition, the access to customer support and the quality of support …
Chose GoTo Connect
We looked at several leading phone systems, ultimately choosing GoTo Connect for functionality we thought met our needs. We ultimately thought the reception console was the best one we saw and the admin screens seemed easy to navigate. In addition, their pricing was so …
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo has been a far superior system to both Avaya and Mitel - from available features to ease of administartion.
Chose GoTo Connect
I would say rank GoTo in this order from my list above

Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect did not have the same functionality of Teams. Teams has better Meeting rooms
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect is ranked at the top of the market options. Surely the best option for small and medium size companies accross the Americas region
Chose GoTo Connect
I’d recommend GoTo Connect, if you’re looking for a reliable, all-in-one communication tool. It’s user-friendly, comes with great support, and works well for teams of all sizes.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect serves the needs of medium-sized organizations like ours better than MS Teams. Its User Interface and call connectivity feel better than that of MS Teams. GoTo Connect was a better fit for our specific business needs, offering the right combination of telephony …
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect came from an old system called Jive. The online PBX is one of the best I have used due to is ease of setup and configuration. GoTo Connect is a setup above the rest in this aspect.
Chose GoTo Connect
Everything we need is in one system and have no connection issues and easy to access through phone and computer
Chose GoTo Connect
I just discovered the GoTo Connect here in my current company, I have been using other platform before, but this app is just right for me and in my remote set up job. Since then, I never used other platform since it has features that I really like, such as recordings, …
Chose GoTo Connect
We prefer GoTo to TeamViewer. Teamviewer had a good recording feature, but that was the only advantage.
NiCE CXone Mpower
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Pros of NICE when compared to Verint:
1. Better options to manage leaves, schedules and update employee settings, line of businesses etc
2. The managers and supervisors have more powers in terms of scheduling, updating leaves, adherence etc
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Both were great but desktop only supported limited interactions. Nice enlighten AI is more up to date and supports many different channels which is great when your business or company is more robust and utilizes many methods.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
We have not had a chance or a need as of yet to review or try any other products like NICE Uptivity.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
I could say that it is compared in a more personal way, since it is not a very well-known tool, many of its functions are for more private teams and for specific organizations.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
NICE inContact is for our soft phone or virtual phone. They have their own functions in our organization. They are both useful and easy to use. Two different functionality but same NICE. Very friendly tools and recommend this two in their platform. NICE software are really …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
While custom reports update a much faster rate than inContact, the scope of pre-built reports is much larger in PureConnect and it is much easier to schedule reports and deliver them via email attachment. PureConnect has issues with scheduled reports, sometimes they run later …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
It had the best features for the pricepoint.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Superior to Verint in its agent self-service options and the ability to get more detailed schedule activity. Strongly compares with Aspect. Specific features that work for a given business will separate the best choice.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Interactive Intelligence
Cisco Express and Enterprise.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
inContact blows ININ away (now bought by Genesys systems). ININ requires a lot of money to upgrade, wouldn't do any customization for free, and would not be able to integrate as nice with Salesforce.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Cosmo had zero support and growth flexibility
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower

Uptivity by far works better than NICE. I have many issue when trying to pull up calls, locate calls, and evaluate calls within the NICE platform however with the simple logic of Uptivity I never have issues.


Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
I have used numerous amounts of text analytics, including: Clarabridge, Polyvista, SPSS, and other tools in the past. Attensity was by far the best of the lot. It was a bit pricier than some of the other solutions out there, but if you need a positive return on understanding …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
We looked at several tools for turning text into data.
The easy to understand tools had limited functionality, the analytical tools required a PHD to attend the sales pitch.
Attensity had taken the approach of including reporting and alerting with their text engine.

Likelihood to Recommend
I would give it a 10 out of 10 rating just because of the service and easiness it has offered us, which made our work effortless and stress-free. I do recall an instance where one of our clients' medical conditions suddenly deteriorated while he was traveling overseas. The doctors there could not understand his situation at that time. He asked them to connect with our team, and our team guided them with his medical records, and his life was saved

NICE CXone Mpower offers a great suite of products and tools appropriate for contact centers. It is a one stop shop for all of the monitoring, scheduling, reporting, and quality tools a large or small contact center may need. It is very feature rich and has many components, some of which we haven't even grown to adopt yet but may in the near future.

Pros
  • GoTo Connect is a much more cost-effective solution rather than separate phone lines and video conferencing tools.
  • I conduct daily team meetings and project brainstorming sessions using video conferencing using GoTo Connect.
  • It integrates smoothly with our regularly used tools like Google Drive and has become very easy to share the documents we use.
Read full review
  • Workforce management is very easy to use
  • Quality management allows evaluations to be objective
  • Real time adherence allows me to know what everyone on the team is doing at a glance
  • Reports allow us to evaluate the performance and helps us improve

Cons
  • Making a dedicated button for "mute all" (other than yourself) for when someone "walks off before they mute"/has to quickly leave their computer....and FORGOT to Mute. Particularly when dogs are barking when someone working from home has a visitor at the door
  • I'd like to see some of the functionality from GoTo Webinar enabled for GoTo Connect: see who's "actively watching" vs has their computer screen on another application
Read full review
  • There can be changes in interface of the app, however it's still very good
  • I would appreciete detailed web page with all necessary information, but when I need anything, the customer support is very quick and provide all the information
  • Hardly to find any other :)

They are knocking it out of the park on all fronts. I love the service and support I am receiving and have no complaints. If they raised their prices substantially I would reconsider but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. They would have to mess up something consistently moving forward to make me want to move
Read full review
Nice made it possible for employees to work from anywhere with access to the internet, it made it possible to extract data from contacts in a very thorough way. In addition, the meticaes can be fully customized and the day-to-day monitoring of the operation is more visible.With nice, contacts with clients abroad became easier.

Usability
Overall, it's a decent product for the price. It has the basic features our company needed when it was brand new and was not overly difficult to set up. As we've grown, it's become increasingly difficult to build out the features we want to implement within the PBX, and customer support can be less than helpful. Many of the more advanced features (dial plans, queues, etc.) take a lot of research to understand how to implement. Some of the features we paid for weren't even available when we were attempting to set them up.
Read full review
NICE CXone offers a very intuitive interface that is easy for our customers to understand in a short period of time and easy for us to administrate. All tools like Admin, ACD, Reporting, and Analytics are very user-friendly, and with little training, customers can reap the benefits of the tools.

Reliability and Availability
I have never experienced or heard of unplanned outages when it comes to GoTo Connect. Most of the time the unplanned outage is always local power at a site or internet service provider having an unplanned outage. GoTo's service has never failed any of our orgs yet that I know of.

NICE inContact CXone is available when you need it. I have been using it for about a year and I have never suffered any issues that caused my not to have access to the product. If there are updates, they must be downloaded and install in the background because I do not see them
Read full review
Performance
There is no lag in phone calls. There is no background noise or static/fuzz. Calls are crystal clear. With other dialers and phone systems, I have experienced delays between dialogue or delays with the caller picking up the phone and then being able to hear you. We do not experience this with Go To Connect.
Read full review
NICE inContact CXone performs very well even on old computers that are limited in resources. I use a older computer with limited memory and it seems to handle NICE inContact CXone very well in most cases. There will be times when it acts up for whatever reason bust over ninety percent of the time.

Support Rating
Support used to be great when it was Jive support out of Utah. Now that they've offshored support it can be difficult to get a response. Our most common issues are least cost routing, and we run into support pushing back in stead of just figuring out which upstream carrier is having an issue like they used to. We often have to get our account manager involved, who is pretty strong.
Read full review
inContact only allows specific users to contact them for support. Even though I use the product daily and it accounts for a large amount of my workload, I still have to contact an authorized user to create an incident. These users are managers and their schedules are very busy. This can result in delays in incidents being opened and resolved.

In-Person Training
No answers on this topic
The In-person training was fine for a general overview. I think it would have been really helpful to have a review of pre-built reports and how to use them as tools.
Read full review
Online Training
The training videos could be more in-depth. This would help our user base so that they can feel impowered to look up information that they need without having to ask our admins every time they have a question about the system. Online training videos are also inferior to an actual person explaining systems.
Read full review
The training was very brief, teaching how to use the features for my role. Over time, I discovered many other features that were not explained. I believe that if it were done more completely, it would know the features earlier. An example of this is the productivity page, where I needed to measure together with my colleagues, to know the real information that the screen brought and, to my surprise, it was very useful.

Implementation Rating
The biggest challenge from implementation was deconstructing the mess that was our old system's config. After doing so, I believe there were primarily some methods that have worked better in the long run to implement up front, such as separating menus into separate dial plans for simpler updates, routing/re-routing.
Read full review
We love the use of our new tools. However, NICE staff turnover was frustrating. We lost ground each time a new team took over. Some people were good some were not as much. Some people did great training while others were not as helpful

Alternatives Considered
I have nothing personal against Broadvoice and found their team pleasant to work with. The greatest difference has been the administrative portals. Where Broadvoice was confusing and I still hadn't really been able to figure it out over a period of years past some basic functions, I still had to call to get support just to provision or update phones. With GoTo, I had a functional understanding within a week and a couple years in, it is smooth sailing and no angst when needing to update or troubleshoot an issue and I have access to everything without a phone call. It is true freedom to meet my company's needs.

When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more user-friendly. But in terms of performance management functionality, NICE has a more robust system and is able to create additional metrics if we need them When I used ADP there were no custom options available.

Scalability
Its not readily apparent to me, other than cost, where you would run into any issues with larger scale deployments. When we went live on the product, the Jive team was always willing to do mass updates for us on our extensions, users, etc. in the system, so we didn't have to do too much manual one-by-one updates.
Read full review
The scalability is awesome because of the multiple uses it is able at performing for users. A large organization with several user can use this product in the same fashion that a smaller organization could. I believe the larger organization would see more benefits because of the users ability between communication coworkers

Return on Investment
  • We stopped losing calls due to poor routing or not being able to make them.
  • It has helped us to be able to answer calls at any time or place, even outside of company hours.
  • We have the possibility to access these conversations from our CRM system.

  • WFM and net staffing bar have allowed us to see hour by hour if we are over or under-staffed. This keeps us on track with our SLAs.
  • The ability to evaluate calls and have the reps review the evaluations has been a crucial part of keeping our KPI where it needs to be.
