Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • nothing at all is good. Prices are way to high and customer service very poor.
  • They’re great when you get new service, which most companies are when they’re trying to get new customers
  • Nothing. We have no pros to give this company, because of the nature of the call that was made to our home.
  • Satisfactory as Integra, and then as Allstream until the last year. But business went way downhill when Zayo got involved.
  • Zero customer service, Zero understanding of business, their customer web portal is a joke. They jacked up their prices 250 % and still claim that their contract has been renewed automatically, even under their own contract they increased their price from $250 to $450 !! I can not believe I am saying this but Bell will be much better that Allstream / Zayo Group. It is like they hired staff only juicing out their existing clients, this line might have been in their job description. Stay away from their services.

Cons

  • Horrible portal. Makes you change your password every single time. Even if it was only 5 minutes since you changed it. Also seems to be a lot of problems with the bill pay system. Very difficult to reach a human being at the other end. We are actively seeking another provider for our fax system.
  • If you have issues, you have to talk to somebody that doesn’t speak very good English! And they don’t follow through
  • Everything about the unsolicited call. We are on the national do not call list.
  • Became an unfair and fraudulent business, mistreating and attempting to overcharge long term customer
  • Our phone line was from Allstream (through Bell Canada)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • First, the support is amazing. Handling the software is easy as it's UI is carefully designed and everything is within reach. I like quality of audio and video when conferencing. Call monitoring, encryption, voice recognition, and call recording are some other features I like.
  • One thing that makes XCastLabs standout is the ease of connecting the business with its clients thanks to it'a business phone system features. I like that setting up the software as well as scaling is easy. It's effortless to use it and manage calls.
  • This my favourite software more so because it brings employees together and connects us to our clients easily. Through collaboration and effective communication, we are able to push productivity to the sky. As a business call center, the software lets us interact with our business customers and partners easily thereby bettering business.
  • I like the simplicity of the software more so the User Interface. The cost of the software is low compared to competitors It offers lot's of features aiding business communication. It's smooth when it comes to VoIP needs.
  • I have used this software as a ca center ans aa business VoIP and I can say it offers the very best. From blended calls to manual dialer, this software has it all. It's effortless to use and handles business communication needs flawlessly.

Cons

  • It's not the most affordable VoIP solution in the market.
  • Saying that XCastLabs is the best is an understatement as it's flawless.
  • We have achieved so much with this software and I have no cons to list.
  • It's an effortless software that never disappoints.
  • It's one software that I have used successfully without downtime issues or malfunctioning and I therefore have no complaints.
