STAY AWAY. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Nextiva for our phone lines. It’s the worst. Calls drop, don’t connect, we are overcharged, there is no price matching, no help by customer service, sold an oversized product for literally 3 employees when all we ever needed was a call queue, reporting, and call recording first in first out. I DO NOT recommend this product for any business. The service is garbage, they used recycled numbers where you business shows up as spam. They gave one of my employees a new number that was already assigned to another business. He had 50 new leads on his contact list, had to provide a new number the. Lost all of his leads that he spent some time on gathering. All of his research was out the door. This company and product are snakes and you should avoid at all cost!

Cons

  • Not overseas support
  • Actually provide a product that works on what you’re selling
  • Price matching and not overcharging businesses

Return on Investment

  • No return on investment.
  • Lost sales due to call problems.
  • We aren’t taken seriously as a company because calls drop so much.

Usability

In our experience, Cannot Provide What They Tell You They Can

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our experience, could not provide the services we signed a contract for. 3 months of working sometimes over 3 hours per phone call for them to get it right and they couldn't. However, in our experience, they refuse to refund out money for services they could not provide. We tried for over 3 months, and their routing errors caused company cross over calls that were detrimental to our company

Cons

  • customer service
  • following through with their promise of service
  • better tech support
  • quicker response times

Return on Investment

  • In our experience, 1000's of missed phone calls
  • In our experience, calls routed to the wrong people consistely
  • In our experience, call volume dropped from 50-100 a day to 1-3 a day
  • In our experience, negative return on investment due to lost business

Usability

Great product!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We switched from Comcast years ago in search of a product with less downtime and a better ability to configure. We use Nextiva as a call center to auto-manage incoming customer calls. This service replaces the need to answer every call and automatically sends the call to the right person who can best help the customer. We can easily use the online portal to manage our call center and make changes 'on the fly'.

Pros

  • Live Chat Tech Support is Excellent.
  • Phone configuring on website is very easy.
  • No downtime.

Cons

  • Ability to see other users on DND from handset.

Return on Investment

  • Easy of use.
  • Maintenance free.
