Great Product and Great Customer Service

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We chose to use Broadvoice as our phone provider as we manage three different businesses, each with their own unique needs and teams. We needed the ability to manage all three businesses seamlessly with one provider, while still being able to customize each of our lines for our teams. We have Broadvoice direct lines as well as employees who also either have their own direct line or have chosen to use the Broadvoice app.

Pros

  • Customer Service (Van R. & Manny R. were simply amazing to work with!)
  • Onboarding (Such a smooth process)
  • Intuitive Software (Broadvoice is sophisticated and intuitive)

Cons

  • None that I can think of so far! We have been pleased with our experience.

Return on Investment

  • We are an early stage organization, so having a centralized phone provider will be beneficial when it comes to our efficiency as a team.
  • Running three business at the same time, Broadvoice has helped us tremendously - We have one provider on one bill but the Broadvoice platform still allows for flexibility and customization based on the needs of each of our businesses.

Broadvoice is Great for Business!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at a personal injury firm that utilizes Broadvoice for communications. The main issues we face are tracking calls, with detailed logs, recording calls, and using headsets to multitask while making contact calls. Broadvoice addresses all of these concerns. Through the online portal we can not only see who was called and when, but also which office extension called. We can also save recorded calls directly to our server to allow us to refer back to communications had. And Broadvoice's app allows us to Bluetooth headsets to the computer and make calls directly from the app, allowing us to multi task.

Pros

  • Call Logs
  • Call Recording
  • Tech Support

Cons

  • The app crashes constantly and does not let me in.

Return on Investment

  • Being able to refer back to recorded calls has allowed the firm to save thousands by being able to confirm agreements made verbally when there was not something documented physically.
  • Call tracking has given us protections from other firms claiming to not have received communications. We were able to prove who called and when.
  • Broadvoice's Tech Support not only helps resolve tech issues, but they walk you through how to do it yourself should the issue arise again. (If you want that) This has made it so that instead of spending time on the phone for minor issues, we are capable of fixing it quickly with the education provided.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have had Broadvoice as my company's communication source. There are a number applications to utilize the services offered. I was able to set up fax services (which was required for some of our business partners). I was also able to see a record of calls, voicemails and faxes both inbound and outbound. Having that access was valuable for our documentation.

Pros

  • They offer several platforms to access communication tools
  • I have stored records of all inbound/outbound communications
  • Email notifications are sent as a back up to incoming communication

Cons

  • The mobile app could use some improvement as calls were not always seamlessly transferred
