Awful, awful service. They left me with no service for 10 days while porting.
What do you like best about the product?
Sales staff was polite, attentive and willing to say almost anything to get my business. .
What do you dislike about the product?
The experience was among the worst I've ever had. They left us without business phones for 10 days after the number port began. I immediately switched to another vendor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I own 3 small businesses and have been using T-Mobile Digits, which is generally pretty awful as it is not a true business system. I finally got fed up and went to Vonage, who I used years ago for a residential line. It was an absolute disaster. They issued 3 temporary numbers and I initiated the porting of the three numbers for my businesses. About a week later, 2 of the numbers went completely dead. No message, no warning, just dead. I inquired and, now that I was a customer, rather than getting the US sales team, I got some kind of overseas call center. They barely spoke english and they had no clue. Later, I got an email stating that it would be 3-5 days before the ported lines would be active. This is absolutely not what the sales team told me. During the time that these phones were off, I was getting no business and that was costing me money. I called every day to try to get status and every day got the same answer that the lines would be turned up within a day or so. it took 10 days for Vonage to turn on the ported numbers AFTER they received them. And they only ported 2 of the 3, the third number was still on at T-Mobile all this time. Then I got into the management tools. I specifically asked if I would be able to use certain features, like hunt groups, and the sales rep said yes. Turns out, several of the features I specifically asked about were only available for an extra charge. That was it. I called Ooma, who I had also used in the past, signed up with them and requested the numbers at Vonage be ported over. Took Ooma 2 days to port the numbers and they were on. I called Vonage, told them how dissatisfied I was with them, and cancelled the account. The person on the phone was very apologetic and told me there would be no charge for the Vonage service. Ok, that was nice. I got one invoice from Vonage and it clearly showed the charges and the credit memo bringing the amount due to 0. 2 months later, I started getting calls from a collection agency. They said I owed Vonage $80 for the one month of service that I had with them. (Keep in mind that it took several weeks to get the numbers ported and I had no use for and never used the temporary numbers that Vonage provided.) I sent the invoice showing the balance was zero to the collection agency and they claimed that it said zero because it went to collections. Who sends a 2 month old invoice to collections? When I called Vonage, nobody knew what to do. This was almost a year ago. Every month I got a call from a collection agency and every time I called Vonage, nobody could help me. I finally got the email address for the department responsible for past due accounts. I sent them the invoice showing a balance of zero and carefully explained the problem. The response I got back most recently was unbelievable. They said that, even though the rep may have said I would not be charged, I cancelled on the 15th of the month and customers are billed on the 13th of the month so I owed for an extra month. I never even used the service and I clearly only ever had one invoice showing a balance of zero. I am still going back and forth with them on this. AVOID VONAGE! THEY ARE AN AWFUL VOIP COMPANY!

Easy Setup with Minor Configuration Hurdles
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Vonage Business Communications is its reliability and flexibility for daily business use. In my role as a Business Development Manager in a US staffing environment, I rely heavily on consistent outbound and inbound calling, and Vonage has provided stable call quality with minimal disruptions.

Another major advantage is the ability to manage communication across different time zones, which is critical for working with US clients from India. Overall, it has streamlined our communication process and made remote work much more efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the main drawbacks of Vonage Business Communications is that call quality can occasionally fluctuate, especially during peak hours or with weaker internet connections. While it works well most of the time, even small disruptions can impact productivity in a role that depends heavily on consistent client communication.
Another area for improvement is the user interface, which can feel slightly outdated and less intuitive compared to some newer communication platforms. Certain settings and features take extra time to locate, especially for new users.
Additionally, the mobile app, while useful, can sometimes lag or have minor performance issues, particularly when handling multiple calls or switching between features.
Overall, while the platform is reliable for daily operations, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of performance consistency and user experience.

User-Friendly with Great Integrations, But Needs Better Call Transfer and In-App Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is easy to use and offers helpful integration with the ATS. I appreciate receiving timely updates, whether through missed calls or email messages. The call quality is high, and text messages are delivered instantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Transferring calls between the desktop and mobile versions often doesn't work as smoothly as it should. It would be much more convenient if the app or software displayed the number of calls made directly within the app, instead of requiring users to visit the website for reports. Additionally, having access to call recordings within the app or software itself would be extremely helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vonage Business Communications addresses the challenge of fragmented communication tools by combining voice, video, messaging, and conferencing within a single unified platform. This removes the hassle of managing several separate systems and enables smooth collaboration among teams, regardless of whether they are in the office or working remotely. Personally, I’ve found that this leads to easier coordination with vendors, contractors, and staff, as well as improved accessibility from any location and more streamlined communication overall. The integration with ATS and other business tools further helps keep conversations organized and ensures that important information is always within reach, which ultimately boosts productivity and responsiveness.
