User Testimonials
	Intermedia Unite	Ooma Office
Likelihood to Recommend	If you have seasonal workers, need to quickly scale, or cut contracts, [Intermedia] Unite is awesome. Highly recommend for companies that need an at home workspace. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	[Ooma Office has] good customer service: this is important in our business as we have 24/7 phone service and rely on any tech issues being solved quickly. The price point is very good for small businesses. Being able to block robo / spam calls with one click is a huge plus as it saves us time on the phone and cleans up our incoming calls for the future. Incentivized Hillary Louarti Manager Read full review
Pros	No contracts Scale up or down very quickly Easy to deploy - no hardware required. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	Saving money: Ooma Office saves a bundle compared to what we were paying for Verizon business phone services. The mobile app is the most helpful part of Ooma Office for us. We can be "in the office" anywhere, even if we're telephonically. The automated assistant can be invaluable in routing calls and handling frequently asked questions. Incentivized SS Stephanie Sullivan President Read full review
Cons	The price is on the higher end Normal issues for VoIP - if users have low bandwidth, high jitter or latency Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	Cell phone app could be a little easier to use. Ooma Desktop needs some tweaking to make it more user friendly. I would like my 800 number to be assigned to my personal mailbox vs. having to have its own extension. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have found it very easy to configure, manage, and expand our phone operations with Ooma Office. We needed a reliable phone network as this is the first means of communication for our customers - Ooma has made it a lot easier for us to manage. Their support is also available 24x7 so that's a huge plus. KA karthikeyan alamelumangapuram Manager Read full review
Usability	The web interface takes a little getting used to, but once you are familiar, it is very easy to use and administrate. The end user has a very easy to use app. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	If I had to rate Ooma Office’s overall usability on a scale from 1 to 10, I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10.From my experience, the setup was incredibly straightforward — honestly one of the easiest systems I’ve ever rolled out for a small business. The dashboard is clean, user-friendly, and doesn’t take a tech-savvy person to navigate. Within a short time, our team was up and running without needing IT support.What I really appreciate is how intuitive the call handling features are — forwarding, voicemail, virtual receptionist — it’s all laid out in a way that just makes sense. Plus, the mobile app makes it super convenient to stay connected when I’m not in the office. Incentivized KK Katherine Klaus Business Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	Intermedia [Unite] support is top notch. Their response time is great and don't have a lot of issues. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	Ooma Office support is always available. I've never been on the phone with them for longer than 5 minutes. They are knowledgable, have great active listening skills, are able to make recommendations on how to make Ooma Office work even better for you, and wait times to speak with an agent are reasonable and typically less than 1 minute. Incentivized TC The Post Hole Co Operations Manager Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Have a plan in place before you start the implementation, open communication with the staff on the changes being made, prepare a reference guide on the system and how to navigate the new setup. Budget and allocate time for helping staff learn the new system. Consolidate and coordinate all the questions internally before reaching out to support.

Return on Investment	During offseason, we scaled back to 150 phones and during peak, we scaled up to 400 phones. No contracts, no fees, just month to month billing.
