PanTerra Networks Use Review and Recommendation

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a church/non profit and we've had the PanTerra Networks System for 3 years. I've been here for 2 years and the system and features have been pretty easy to use. I like the voicemail to email feature. They offer us an affordable service and I think that is the biggest benefit because the monthly cost is very affordable.

Pros

  • Call Transfers
  • Voice Recording Quality and Delivery
  • Easy to Use Automation System/Auto Attendant

Cons

  • I don't like having to login to download invoices

Return on Investment

  • Affordable Pricing
  • Consistent Pricing

Usability

We do not recommend

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use 85 phone lines from PanTerra Networks in 8 offices. We started using it a year ago. First of all, in my experience, their onboarding process is extremely slow, and the assigned tech for us was awful. I felt that he ignored our emails and phone calls. Even if he answered, he knows less. The charge starts on the contract day, and the porting takes a couple of weeks to a month. I feel like we have to pay the first month's fee for nothing. The sales guy will give some credit as if we get free months, but since they take so long to transport everything and provision the numbers and extensions, the free months do not mean anything. They give us Yealink phones, but the software integrations are bad, and we can not use the full functions of Yealink phones. Overall, I personally feel that, this company is awful, and we will change the provider as soon as the 3-year contract is over.

Cons

  • We are not able to use some of Yealink phone functions. change them
  • We are suppose to be able to answer a phone that is ringing in other desk even if mine is not ringing with Yealink phones, but I was told no.

Return on Investment

  • Phone voice quality goes bad often(our network is fine)
  • They provide us equipment(Phones) but they, in my experience, do not want to do troubleshooting. they just give us a link for Yealink support team
