VirtualPBX
Chose VirtualPBX

I can say that the "would you recommend to a collogue" is not a theoretical question for me in this case. I have recommended VirtualPBX multiple times - and know …
Chose VirtualPBX
We started with the irugubak VirtualPBX around the year 2000. We were extremely satisfied with that and now can't say more about the newly updated version.

As for other system,I did not feel it was at all necessary to investigate given our extreme satisfaction with this vendor
Chose VirtualPBX
Auto attendant and voice conference capabilities are a good value for SOHO users that need to make a positive impression upon their customers.

Phone.com is a no-brainer. The cost savings over a POTS or in-house PBX system are tremendous. The affordability added on top of the easy to use and deploy features make Phone.com the best choice. Phone.com is well-suited for situations where you need other-than-standard call holding, call routing, and other similar advanced call features.

Pros

  • Provides real-time analytics and reports that show agent performance during a call, email, or chat, analyzing conversations and indicating where to improve.
  • All call recording features are very easy to access and configure such as regular call recordings and scheduled recordings for specific customers.
  • As it is a cloud-based software with mobile access, we can use it outside the office without any problems, just with the phone and internet connection.

Cons
  • Phone.com has been excellent with support and I can not think of any areas for improvement with regards to that
  • Phone.com could provide more graphical assistance when programming call routing. A visual indication of the flow of a call should be presented and would come in handy when planning out difficult ques/call routes

So much easier than our old PBX or any on-prem PBX I have ever used. We were up and running in an hour. Tweaking the caller menus is so easy.
