    Chose Grasshopper
    It came down to price and reliability. Even though it's not 100% perfect, it's significantly better than the other options we have tried.

    Chose Grasshopper
    Their mobile and desktop apps are so much easier to use and very user friendly. Customer service was very kind and helpful, too.

    Chose Grasshopper
    I switched because Grasshopper was more reasonably priced and the functionality was better. It is also easier to use and the customer service is better. Overall, the experience with Grasshopper has been great. And I like how I can access my calls and voicemails on my android …

    Grasshopper fit my business needs at a much lower price than any of the alternatives.

    Chose Grasshopper
    I liked the interface and pricing model better. I also like the app way better than RingCentral's which is a dumpster fire. I really like being able to dial out easily from my phone from a Grasshopper number, though I wish I could somehow do that from my mail dailer. Either …

    Chose Grasshopper
    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 …

    Ring Central was a good option but was more expensive. They did offer conference meeting/webinar meetings, but we use Go To Meeting for that and didn't need that feature.

    Chose RingEX
    I had Grasshopper and it was not as robust or professional as Ring.

    Chose RingEX
    RingEX is far more versatile for a small business than Grasshopper or our previous Nortel/Avaya VoIP system. I wouldn't trade the fatures of the RingEX system for any other VoIP system on the market. When it comes to capabilities at a low cost, you can't beat RingEX.

    Chose RingEX
    RingEX provided the best call quality and had the features we needed. Google Voice doesn't have Hawaii (808) numbers, so they weren't a good fit for our business. That may change with their recent overhaul of that service offering. Grasshopper was terrible. Easy to set up, …

    Chose RingEX
    Besides RingEX we used Google Voice and evaluated Nextiva and Grasshopper. Google Voice is pretty convenient and affordable, but RingEX, Nextiva and Grasshopper offer much more capabilities for businesses. Between Nextiva, Grasshopper and RingEX, we chose RingEX because Nextiva …

    Chose RingEX
    I ended up going with RingEX because of the price and the overall quality of the calls. In addition, RingEX provides video conferencing software that is a white-labeled version of Zoom.

    Chose RingEX
    So far, RingEX has been very reliable and always exceeds our expectations. It creates a very secure environment wherein even our customers and clients can rely upon it. With the advanced features of this tool, we were able to deliver the expectations back to our customers. User …

    Chose RingEX
    I looked at Grasshopper and Nextiva, plus options from AT&T. RingEX combined the combination of value and features that I was looking for in a provider. The feature set RingEX offers along with the mobile app made them the clear choice for my needs. Again RingEX was a perfect …
