    Chose Comcast Business VOIP (VoiceEdge)
    Comcast Business VOIP has a robust number of features and a well-focused UI. If you are already a prolific Comcast user the system works well and integrates well. Many of the other systems we tried - Vonage, Google Voice, etc. - were not as robust and difficult to set up in …

    Chose Vonage Business Communications
    Phone service is much more reliable than Comcast and much cheaper than AT&T. At the same time, support for Vonage Business is vastly superior to those two products as it is very easy to get a hold of someone willing to help solve any technical or billing questions you may have.

    Good for any situation where there are multiple employees who need to be reached by customers or in-house. Also cuts down on Robo calls because they typically can't / don't press numbers to choose from a menu. Can't really see this system being worth the price in a smaller-sized operation though, as there are far cheaper options that provide a much nicer management interface.

    Vonage Business Communications excels in scenarios requiring seamless remote work, such as virtual teams and remote workers. It's also ideal for businesses needing reliable disaster recovery solutions. However, it may be less appropriate for very small businesses with minimal communication needs or those with limited budgets, as the comprehensive features might be more than necessary.

    Pros
    Comcast Business
    • Makes it easy to send and receive phone calls, setup extensions, and generally handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
    • You're able to receive business calls wherever you go, whether you're in your office or on your mobile device.
    • The Voicemail to Text feature generally works well enough for you to know what a message is about without having to listen to it.

    • Eliminates physical phone consoles that can be pricey and unnecessary for staff.
    • Has a companion app that allows you to use your personal cell phone to check messages or make calls.
    • The desktop application is easy to use and has a number of customizable settings so that the app can be minimized but alert you of incoming calls.

    Cons
    Comcast Business
    • Not a fan of the poly phones
    • I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

    • The extension can only have three devices which is difficult if you work in multiple locations. Your cell phone is one of the three, so you really only get two. I have three office locations that I work out of and it would be nice to have my extension at each.

    I thought it had very practical and useful usability. It has a clean and simple interface with large fonts that make it easy to read. It isn't particularly difficult, although figuring out some operations may be a bit challenging. For the most part though, it isn't very difficult to use

    We hardly have any issues with it to where we need to call them. There was a point where our connections across the board were terrible and it held us up in production quite a bit but since then things have been pretty simple and streamlined.

    I have switched now to MagicJack for business, while their support might not be the most amazing either we are very satisfied with the service/cost relationship and this has been a major game-changer. I am certain that Comcast has a larger client base that they have to look for that might be creating much more significant revenue. We have faced similar situations with other vendors and have found better solutions with smaller, shelving solutions that seem to cater more closely to clients.

    We believe Vonage Business Cloud is best for our organization over the AT&T and the Verizon platforms for several reasons including price, ease of use, connectivity, and other options. Since we have implemented this solution along with newer Polycom phones, we have had very few issues with our phones or our phone platform.

    Return on Investment

    • In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
    • In my opinion, it's a total waste of time and money.

    • Cut down phone hardware expense since the soft phone is free and easier to use.
    • Text is becoming a more important and effective way to reach clients. Some will not answer a call or accept voicemail but respond quickly to text messages.
    • Allows me to work from anywhere with smart phone app saving hours at work.
