August 23, 2026 5.0 The software is very easy and quick to implement and is suitable for various call center functions in customer interaction, such as customer support, but can also be used in sales or marketing. Regional phone numbers can also be quickly integrated and the statistical analysis options are very helpful. Pros The support from customer support managers and support staff, and the fact that the tool is extremely future-oriented and constantly releases new features that create absolute added value, especially in customer communication and sales. We often use this tool to work on optimizing our strategy, understanding our client's needs better and helping us become more efficient in our tasks. Cons I've noticed only two negative aspects of GoTo Connect. Firstly, calls sometimes fail to connect. This is obviously inconvenient when speaking with customers. Secondly, assigned calls are often not found in the 'To Do's' list. Review Source R Reviewer Law Clerk Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Product" July 27, 2026 4.0 Overall, Goto Connect is among the top VOIP and unified communications services offered on Capterra. Pros Reliable cloud phone and UCaaS platform Strong call quality and uptime Easy mobile and desktop apps Helpful customer support Rich feature set, including AI receptionist, SMS, video meetings, and integrations Cons Initial setup and call routing can have a learning curve Some users report occasional call quality or connectivity issues Complex administration for advanced configurations Mixed experiences with support after onboarding for some organizations Review Source R Reviewer CFO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reachable everywhere with just one number" June 8, 2026 5.0 This tool has made us significantly more flexible. Seamless as an app on both mobile phones and laptops while working from home. Pros Offers the essential functions we need in our business context and also provides exciting features we haven't used before. Inquiries are answered the same day, even by phone. We've rarely experienced such a a good onboarding process. Cons So far, we have not been able to identify any negative aspects and are pleased to have discovered GoTo Connect. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "WE DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. " April 2, 2026 1.0 ABSOLUTELY HEINOUS. If we could give zero stars we would. I cannot believe that such a simple system took 30 hours of calls over and over with support, with CSMs, with developers, to setup. We only have 2 locations, we have 4 phones, we have 6 total users. That's it. We need to take calls, and get voicemails if people dont answer. Yet they couldn't even figure that out. Pros ABSOLUTELY AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!!! We are two weeks in and searching for something else. There is absolutely NOTHING that we liked about GoToConnect. They sold us on something that didnt work, sold us the wrong amount of licenses, and then support continually told us "we will get it fixed after we hang up" to do absolutely NOTHING after. We show up the next day and the phones still dont work, there's no response, no communication back to us, and no actual help after spending hours on the phone the previous day. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Cons ABSOLUTELY AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!!! We are two weeks in and we have spent 30 hours trying to get anything to work. We are missing calls for days. We are a simple, small business with just 2 locations, 4 phones, 2 managers, and over and over support couldn't get it right and then our CSM spent days fixing it for it to break over and over. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! Review Source R Reviewer owner-CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "goto connect" March 23, 2026 5.0 I have had great luck with goto connect and their support team is quick to respond and find resolutions. Pros Ease of use with consolidated services. They have good phone & customer support with quick results. Their pricing structure is good. Cons The initial set up was a bit confusing and trying to navigate their bubble system when routing calls is confusing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Technician Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best One-on-One Meeting Site for on the go" March 9, 2026 5.0 I’ve used GoTo for probably 8 years and it’s been consistent with no major update changes. I always know how it’ll work. Pros I appreciate the simplicity it has in allowing clients to connect without needing a downloaded application. Cons That even with a paid subscription I only have about half an hour for meetings. Sometimes they need to be longer. Review Source R Reviewer Concierge Representative Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "GoTo phone app " January 29, 2026 4.0 Overall, I do like GoTo. Its a great product. I believe that it untethers people from their desks, and makes roles that rely on making/receiving calls, such as call centers more flexible to allow remote work. I would like to see (unless its a function that my employer didn't include in their package) and option where each extension has two lines so that the physical phone can be used if needed. Pros I like that I can take my extension with me as I go from office to remotely at home, and that I can use the app, should I not have my laptop available. Cons It stinks that if the internet connection goes out, then I have no access to my extension, and that if I am at home, and someone is in the office and needs a phone, they cannot use the physical phone at my desk if I'm logged in at home. Review Source DS David S. President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Very Powerful and complete" January 19, 2026 5.0 My overall experience is extremely positive. I have been using it for about 10 years now and I have never had an outage. The only time I have had poor voice quality was an issue with my own internal network. Pros Currently, one of the best features of Goto Connect is the new AI feature. It allows an AI receptionist for very reasonable rates. It has all the other standard features you expect from a VOIP provider and the pricing is very reasonable. ALSO, the quality is ALWAYS perfect. Another great feature is the outgoing VM message can be typed in and it will create a very high quality computer generated voice to play. Cons The learning curve for Goto Connect can be a little steep. Not that it is difficult, there are just a lot of options you can use. There are lots of video tutorials to get you through it. Review Source R Reviewer Undisclosed Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Worst customer experience EVER" November 28, 2025 1.0 GoTo Connect should rename itself “GoTo Disconnect” because that’s all you’ll get — disconnected phones, disconnected support, and disconnected ethics. Run. Don’t walk. Run the other way. There are a thousand better companies out there that actually deliver what they sell. Pros GoTo Connect is hands down the most useless, dishonest company I’ve ever dealt with. They couldn’t even manage to set up my account or activate my service, yet they were lightning-fast to charge my credit card for something I couldn’t use. No welcome call, no setup, no access — nothing but bills. When I tried to cancel, they hid behind some bogus “contract” even though I never once had a working account. They literally told me they were going to keep charging me for a service that never existed. Unreal. Cons Their support team is a black hole of incompetence — endless hold times, scripted apologies, and zero actual help. Every “manager” promises to call you back, but none of them ever do. The only way I finally stopped the bleeding was by canceling my card so they couldn’t keep stealing from me.

November 19, 2025 5.0 Overall, I enjoy using the platform; it’s convenient, easy to download and use. I’ve used it multiple times for meetings. Pros I enjoy the video conferencing and AI tools of the platform. For the most part, it’s user-friendly and a convenient tool to use. Cons Sometimes there are some lags in the system with the audio portion of the platform and I’ve had some issues in the past with the call summarization and transcription. Review Source R Reviewer Operation Supervisor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "The best phone app" January 24, 2023 5.0 Since I have been using the app, I have no problems communicating with my clients and candidates, making it easy to stay connected 100% of the time. Pros It is a friendly and easy-to-use application, which allows direct communication with people outside, and above all, it offers multiple forms of communication, from voice messages, text messages, or direct communication with people. Cons that in order to access the purchase there is a lot of protocol and one must be contacted by a sales agent instead of being able to call to request the license purchase service. Review Source R Reviewer Service and Construction Admin Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "GoTo - The 21st Century Landline!" May 22, 2025 4.0 We have really enjoyed GoTo, and are satisfied with the app. It has helped us balance work and home life, as you have the ability to answer while not at work, but also the ability to set up work hours within the app. Pros We really like the ability to filter calls based on the kind of customer assistance needed. GoTo also shows us who is calling and it is almost always accurate. Cons The main thing I don't like, is not having the ability to send a message to a phone number that is not in your contacts. You have to call the person back, or wait for them to call you back. Also, many people do not listen to the whole prompt, they just choose the first name that is said. Review Source R Reviewer Assistant Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Very Useful Call Center Application" April 30, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with GoTo Connect is very positive. The app fits all of our needs so far and is very easy to work with. Pros I have used GoTo Connect for almost four years now, and the features I loved the most are the Contact Center and the Analytics features. Being able to have an accurate view of every active agent in the call center is crucial. Cons The app needs to integrate its older feature called Call Reports. The newer updates don't have this feature and it makes it nearly impossible to keep track of an individual agents detailed call information. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Special Projects Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Everything we wanted from a phone system and more" May 3, 2021 5.0 Moving to GoToConnect just before COVID lockdowns was a godsend. The ability to have staff work from home was a huge help. While the onboarding process was intense, GTC staff were there at every step to help. And the customer support ever since, at every step and for every issue, has been fantastic. My favorite fact is that I have yet to be transferred to another associate when I call in. Every representative has been able to resolve my issue every time. Pros First off, GoToConnect is simply a great product. It does what it does well and without issue. We were initially nervous about moving to VOIP out of fear of poor call quality but after a year of use, that has not been a problem. GTC offers incredible flexibility for product utilization. We can design plans where the phones in certain rooms only ring at certain times. There are options to adjust the length of time before calls are routed to voicemail. You can create messages that play according to when the call is received (before/after hours, lunch, emergency closure). Staff members can even log into the system and work from home. GTC offers cloud based call recording. We only recently began utilizing that feature (more options than we can even think about) but have found it to be incredibly helpful. If there is ever a problem with a client, we can just review the call and have proof to resolve the dispute. GTC offers unparalleled customer support. It may well be among the five best customer support experiences I have ever encountered. And these are complicated, in-depth issues that they help us with. But their staff know their business and are able to resolve the issues every time. Cons The onboarding process was lengthy, complicated and intense. Switching from a standard wired phone system to a VOIP system is a big switch for any company but especially for one without a real IT department. GoToConnect offers more features and capabilities than we can even understand or utilize. At times, the sheer number of opportunities can become paralyzing. The one "feature" we still struggle with is placing a call on hold, answering another call and then switching between the two. On a "old school" system with a hold button and blinking lights for each line, that process was second nature for those of us with a few years of that process. Moving to a VOIP where you don't really have "lines" is still tripping us up. Review Source Rosalina M. Executive Assistant/ Freelancer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### ""GoToConnect: A Comprehensive Review of the Cloud-Based Phone System"" March 2, 2023 4.0 Generally speaking, GoToConnect is a complete cloud-based telephone framework that offers a scope of elements to assist organizations with smoothing out their correspondence processes.

June 7, 2022 3.0 While working remotely, it is simple to conduct calls using the app. I'll utilize my mobile phone with selected clients, but for some apparent reason, I do not enjoy handing out my mobile phone to everybody! It makes calling simple. It's a simple system to use, and I believe the pricing is reasonable. This tool is simple for training sessions and virtual meetings. GoTo Connect is now a service that allows users to do commerce from everywhere. It's a fully configurable cloud calling and meeting platform. Users may meet, converse, and cooperate. Pros It's a fantastic solution for remote functioning and getting all calls redirected to my laptop, so I wouldn't have to see my mobile phone. If necessary, we may quickly install the software on our cell phones. It's pretty easy to use, although the UI might be a bit friendlier. If we miss any calls, the voicemail messages will show up immediately, and we can review our call logs in an intuitive list format. Voicemails could also be sent by email. Cons It is completely reliant on Wi-Fi, so whenever we have any problem with our internet service (even a minor hiccup), we have problems with our calls. The call performance is excellent; however, any Wi-Fi troubles will result in termination. It would be a little difficult to save every phone number. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent Service for my Office and Mobile Phone System" January 19, 2022 5.0 My experience has been a great one with an affordable solution for my small business that has solved our office and mobile phone system needs. Pros Quality of calls via Mobile, PC and Hardware as well as ease of changing call routing via online Dashboard. Cons The setup and learning curve is a bit tough and confusing. Review Source R Reviewer Research assitant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Go to ali review " June 22, 2021 5.0 Pros The various features like remote access, multi channel meeting interactions and quick meet setup is something that is very desirable in my line of work. While trying to talk to teams overseas these features ease a lot of hassle and saves time. It’s easy to install and use and integration within my school lab was simple Cons The time and effort it takes to schedule a meeting is something which has been a difficult experience with respect to other competitor products. Review Source EM Ed M. PM Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Awesome Product - Service " September 20, 2021 4.0 Overall it is a great product for virtual meetings , sharing , engagement seeing face to face with people. Overall I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a platform for meetings. Pros The best thing I like is the screen sharing and able to give to others control when not present in person. Helps our team get a clear picture across and helps for speedy decisions with cutting down feild time loss. being able to use this and keeping in documented is awesome. Cons We have had a few issues with getting set up or interferences with feedback or mutter sound. Review Source AL Amber L. Office Staff Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The Customer Service Is Outstanding!" November 27, 2019 5.0 It has been amazing! Again, we have never had any of the issues with dropped calls or static on the line that we have had with other VOIP companies. Pros The thing I like most about this software is it doesn't malfunction or break! We have been with other VOIP companies and have experienced dropped calls, static, silence, etc as the norm. But not with Jive! I have never had a dropped call or an issue with static. The only time I have ever had to call in to tech support was when I needed help setting something up. My wait time to speak with someone has always been less than 3 minutes, each tech support agent is equally knowledgeable and if I couldn't figure out how to do what they were suggesting, they would log on to my computer and show me how to do it. I love this company! Cons There is nothing I dislike about this software. I have never had any issues and Jive makes my life easier as I don't have to deal with phone issues. If the phones are down, it is a major issue for our company. Review Source R Reviewer Production manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Good product " October 25, 2021 5.0 It has been good. Many team members use it default and have little to no issues and have access where ever they go. Pros Once the app is set up, it works great to access work calls when away from your desk or mobile in the office Cons Setting it up is not always straight forward. The difference between do not disturb and silence is not clear. Selecting one function will essentially not allow your desk phone to ring . Review Source Verified Reviewer Business Development Representative at Pilot Fiber Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Middle of the Road VoIP" August 31, 2018 3.0 It worked pretty well and for a decent price. We definitely would use it, but I feel like there might be better options out there. That being said, there were worse ones that we tried as well. Pros I liked that it integrated pretty well with some of our other tools through our computer and desk phone. The desk phone situation worked really well. Transferring was also quite easy and you could talk to the person you were transferring to before deciding to merge or transfer them. Cons The app was buggy on and off and it was difficult to get more than one line on an app or desktop. For the longest time, it would only work through the desk phone. Recently there has been a software upgrade that might make it possible to see and answer more than one line, however, we switched VoIPs so I can't say how successful that particular feature is. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Jive Telephone System" March 22, 2019 5.0 Overall, we had a very easy transition from our previous telephones to Jive. We had our old system forwarded to our Jive phones for about a month, before our telephone numbers were actually ported over. I think in this time, we were able to work out all the kinks, so once our numbers were ported over there were no issues. I would recommend the Jive system to anyone that is considering changing their phone service. Pros The Jive system is a user friendly platform. I really like the fact that we have access to all of our information, without having to contact customer support. I like that we can upload a file for our hold music & can change it whenever we want to. I really like the auto attendant & how easy it is to change things. Once I got familiar with the system, I feel very comfortable updating anything that is needed, but if I can't figure it out, I know I can contact customer service & they are great! Cons I think that it took a while to get our phone numbers ported over & at first our temporary numbers weren't "spoofed" so on our caller id, it was some odd telephone number without our company name. There was a few items setting up our system that was kind of frustrating but, once we were connected to the right person, it was an easy process. Most of the issues were more getting things worked out the first few weeks that we had the Jive telephone system. There was a different group of customer service people that we dealt with during that process, I feel that some of those people weren't as knowledgeable as the regular customer service employees. Again, once the few kinks were worked out, we've had no issues. It was more getting hooked up with the right person that could fix the specific issue that we were having.

But when I needed help with the support they started to show their true colors. From their customer services reps, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] to their terrible app that doesn't allow for incoming calls we will be looking for a new phone system now that our employees are WFH. Pros Was fairly basic but when you have issues you're essentially on your own. Cons Customer service was absolutely dreadful. If you're starting to WFH, this is not the solution for you. I spoke to a representative called, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. He was less than helpful to the point he ended my chat and wouldn't communicate with me further. Needless to say, we will cancel our account immediately.
