### "Effizientes Kommunikationstool"

November 19, 2024

5.0

Wir nutzen die Software seit vielen Jahren täglich für Kundenanrufe und interne Kommunikation. Bisher sind wir super damit klargekommen und konnten keinerlei nennenswerte Benutzerschwierigkeiten feststellen.

Pros

Die Software ist sehr intuitiv und kann plattformübergreifend genutzt werden. Man kann nicht nur Sprachanrufe führen, sondern auch Nachrichten senden und den Bildschirm mit anderen teilen. Super geeignet für den täglichen Gebrauch mit Kollegen.

Cons

Die Sprachqualität schwankt je nach Verbindungsstärke.

### "Solid Softphone for SIP calls"

April 5, 2018

5.0

The largest benefit to this software is connivence and cost effectiveness. Bria is compatible with many third party applications and most SIP providers will offer configuration support. The combined softphone and USB headset cost is much less than a VOIP phone / headset combo and has no desktop footprint.

Pros

The Bria software is a functional and reliable SIP solution with robust features. I appreciate the per station licensing, it works well in my environment where we have a bit of fluidity in seating. Configuration is relatively easy, as long as you know your SIP credentials! Configuring the headset is also very simple if the user is diligent about using the device set up utility when changing headsets or USB ports. Support for click to call handlers from third party apps is only available in this paid version, the free version (x-lite) no longer supports this. The ability to transfer to outside lines directly or with a call first option is the main factor for our continued use of this software.

Cons

Customer support is difficult to reach and response for the cloud hosted version was not satisfactory. Updates to the configuration menu caused all our users calls to fail and support was uninformed about the changes and necessary configuration fixes. Individual Bria licenses should immune from such risks as the configuration is saved locally. This is a moderate concern for me, but combined with the lack of an online manual for Bria 5 online (4 was the last version available but can no longer be found on their site) I have given customer support a rating of one star.

### "Bria Review"

September 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

I am not sure how much it costed in our company. I needed to integrate it to our Call Center and it was easy. It does what it needs to do and we have been using it for many years now without any problem.

Cons

I find it difficult to work with its logs or capture them or investigate them , even why they are not needed so much , I would have liked something better.

Reason for choosing Bria

I did not choose it. Our company Vodafone choose it.

### "Simply the best"

March 6, 2019

5.0

Besides the obligatory upgrade + smaller issues with transferring calls, my overall experience is overwhelmingly positive. We've used another softphone provider before and simply switched over completely to Bria after an endless road of issues. That road has come to an end now, and we're very happy with Bria.

Pros

It just works - with any hardware you're using. Whether you're on a MacBook and have a $200 headset or simply use your smartphone, Bria is by far the best softphone we ever used.

Cons

They recently released a new version, Bria 5. For existing users of Bria 4, it was necessary to buy an upgrade since Bria 4 doesn't work anymore with recent Operating Systems. Was a bit of a cost, but paid with pleasure. Transferring calls between softphones does not always work. Was in touch with support before (they answer very quickly) but haven't got it figured out yet.

### "Bria--A decent option. "

July 17, 2019

3.0

Pros

Bria is definitely a decent option when it comes to computer phone software. It gets the job done and mostly serves it's purpose. The functions on the phone are simple and easy to operate. The connection is clear and rarely do I have a poor or fuzzy connection when using BRIA.

Cons

Often I find myself getting multiple calls coming in at once, or my calls will drop randomly. It seems the settings can get shifted without my knowledge fairly easy which throws everything off just a bit. Making it just a bit more difficult to do my job, using Bria. The most frustrating of the glitches would be getting multiple calls coming in to me at once. I have to remember to adjust the settings quite regularly or it gets very difficult to work.

### "Bria! A Game of Telephone I Actually Like!"

September 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

I use the softphone all day to call clients and co-workers alike. There is no easier way to record calls, store them for review, and move on to the next assignment. Bria makes all of this seamless and simple.

Cons

There was not much to complain about! The buttons could look cuter for sure!

### "Great tool when you are out of office"

November 6, 2018

4.0

\- Preferably it should be used with headphones to have a better experience with the clarity of sound.

Pros

\- You are comunicated with your people even when you are not at office. - Is easy to use - You can make internal calls (with extensions codes) or external calls. - Works like a simple phone even you can call to hear your voicemails. - You can have two phone lines.

Cons

\- You need internet connectivity. - You must have the application open in order to receive calls. - If you have the application at the background, you may experience some troubles to take the call because the time of response is really slow. -You can experiment unexpectedly closed because of the product have error in response time.

### "Works but application design is mediocre. "

April 6, 2020

3.0

Pros

The call quality is clear, works as designed and I have not had any bugs using it at all. Works great for incoming calls.

Cons

The interface drives me a little mad. The first feature that drives me crazy is that the keys on the application will move... I may be on a call or trying a second number after dialing a first and the application's keypad will move up. This causes me constantly to hit the wrong keys. I would never design this to move or at least have a lock function. Secondly the time out function is way too quick when dialing. I will be listening to a voicemail and typing in the number given, and it tries to auto dial the number if there is a pause of more than a couple seconds. Then I have to cancel and start over again. I haven't found an option to change this time or turn it off.

### "Integration and update"

December 18, 2018

4.0

Overall, it works good. Stable and reliable are the words that explain Bria.

Pros

What I most like in Bria is the integration with so many devices. My headphone has support to Bria, so it is easy to answer and make calls.

Cons

What I least like is the update. There is a new version that support what I need, but I have to purchase again to have access to the new functionalities.

### "For the man about town."

September 14, 2018

3.0

It was an easy way for people to extend their office VoIP phones onto their mobile phones. It may not have the best reliability but it does work. Best for outbound calling.

Pros

If you work outside the office, but still need the access and appearance that you are in the office, this app will be helpful. Replicating a VoIP desk phone's extension onto your mobile telephone becomes relatively easy. You can take and make calls as if you right at your desk. And to top it off the app is free; you get to extend the functionality of a VoIP phone to your mobile phone. Which is also great if you have limited minutes but unlimited data.

Cons

The set-up does require that you know what you are doing. Having and being comfortable with retrieving the necessary telephony information is a must. The app is power hungry and push notifications are unavailable. Depending on whether your phone in the lock screen, or if the app is in the background, it can fail to appear . IF it is up and in use, it will rarely fail.

### "Works well"

February 9, 2021

5.0

With Bria I can answer calls from anywhere and it integrates into iOS

Pros

Bria is a well featured VoIP soft phone and I like that it integrates with many different providers out of the box

Cons

I don't like that Bria limits the number of devices per user so much, I use phone, laptop, desktop and home PC which means I have to juggle my logins!

### "Works most of the time"

March 22, 2018

4.0

This is an easy to implement tool that functions out of the box. It's missing many of the bells and whistles of some of its competitors but comes at a nice price point and does the job.

Pros

\-Easy to set up and launch -Ability to customize ringtones -Holding, Transfering and In-call features all work without flaw.

Cons

\-Logo and branding of the application are very dated. They need an update -Not 100% reliable. As an organization, we have had some issues with the types of headsets that we use and their compatibility with Bria. I would recommend testing headsets before you make a larger purchase. -Inability to integrate with apple contacts easily.

### "The product does want you expect from it and looks great"

May 24, 2018

5.0

The bria gives you a freedom in usage, so you don't need a standard phone anymore. I love using it on my celphone, and on my computer.

Pros

It's easy in use and has got everything you need, so the need of a lose phone is not needed anymore. There are even functions that you don't have on a phone. (like recording the conversation)

Cons

In the few years that we use Bria, the functions have been changed several times, It would have been beter to inform before changing functional things.

### "Better than some softphone solutions, but not as good as a 'real' phone."

August 29, 2018

4.0

Sound is okay, but still doesn't compare to a real, physical IP phone. The UI is minimal which will be a plus for some and a con for others. The only reason I have a Bria soft phone is that the physical IP phones my company used to use for remote users no longer work (too old for new firewall) and aren't immediately planning to replace them. I use Bria on the Mac side of my machine because it seems to work a bit better than the Cisco IP Communicator software on the Windows side of the same machine. Both have a bit of a delay when speaking, but he Bria phone seems to have a little less of it. But not sure if that's more of a PC vs Windows thing instead of a Bria vs Cisco thing.

Pros

Easy to install and works better on a Mac than another software does on the PC. Sound quality is okay. Works well with a headset or through computer speakers/mic.

Cons

Maybe it's the nature of all soft phone solutions, but still picks up the keyboard sounds if I'm trying to use my computer and be on a call. The interface is very minimal, which some might say is a 'pro' instead of a 'con'. There's other soft phone software where the UI actually looks like a phone, which I prefer.

### "Softphone review."

September 12, 2018

4.0

I would say that our experience with Bria was excellent, except purchasing non-compatible headsets ate into my budget - Not Happy.

Pros

Very easy to use. The application is intuitive and there is little to no difficulty in learning to use it.

Cons

Bluetooth compatibility is frustrating. You are limited to headsets that will work with the Bria pc application, but they don't tell you this up front. New users have no idea that you have to locate a sheet on their website that lists compatible headsets.

### "Incredibly Opaque Installation Process and Clunky Tech Support"

April 8, 2019

3.0

Meh. Lots of dropped and missed calls. Ability to text is extremely erratic. If you port your old phone number -- which of course you would do if the point was to replace your phone with an iPad -- good luck! You are apparently the first human being to ever attempt this and neither Bria nor 1-VOIP has an idea how to help you through the process.

Pros

Bria in combination with a SIP provider allows you to use your iPad as a phone -- functionality that should have been built into the iPad to begin with.

Cons

The installation process is completely opaque. If you can somehow figure it out on your own, fine, but there's almost no information online about the problems you are likely to encounter and no phone support whatsoever if something goes wrong.

Response from CounterPath

April 10, 2019

Thank you for submitting a review Marion. It can be very confusing for customers. Who should address your questions the service provider or Bria. We can help you set up Bria. You will need to reach out to your service provider for the following information domain, sip user extension, sip password. Unfortunately not all providers use same terminology. Support ticket 18178 you mentioned missed and drop calls. Support has requested a call log to determine the cause please follow the steps below. Go to Bria's Settings > Advanced Settings. Scroll down to Application Logging. Verbose Logging should be turned ON. Recreate the issue and then press Send Log. You will be prompted with a confirmation dialog - tap Yes. Once the log file has been uploaded, you will see a Sending Log Success notification that has a Reference #. Please be sure to note this reference number in your support ticket 18178. Porting phone numbers and SIP information is handled by the service provider.

Pros

excellent softphone, very practical since it has all the functionalities at hand, easy configuration and allows to create multiple accounts, good audio quality and does not consume many resources

### "This is a very low budget dialing system "

April 11, 2018

2.0

Pros

Its safe to say you get what you pay for with this system. It dials (sometimes) it is a very linear product make calls clip paste and call, that makes it very limited but simple and cost effective.

Cons

There is very limited functionality with this product, no call back notes or way to track if a client has been called multiple times. It is very slow and unreliable as well, maybe that is due to the large amount of people using it, but if you are larger than a team of one this is not a great choice.
