The customer service at Jive Communications is terrific

Posted on: Sep 28, 2011
Pros
Cons

The customer service at Jive Communications is terrific. My company was in the process of merging accounts with another company as well as installing new phones of a different manufacturer than the ones I am used to working with. Jive's customer service - in particular Nick - were extremely helpful in getting me (a technologically challenged person) to install the phones. The only hitch was the paperwork needed to change the phone line of the new company. The forms for processes like incorporation of one existing account into another were sent via email and the first time around it was a bit confusing whether they needed those forms faxed or simply emailed back...for future reference you need only fill out the form on the computer and email it back.

Jive was comptetive and their website was crystal clear

Posted on: Sep 16, 2011
Pros
price, simple configuration/installation, great account rep, great customer service
Cons
none

We've been up for a week, so far we are 100% satisfied.  We have offices in NY (6 lines) and SF (15 lines) and started by looking at Hosted VOIP that could use the Linksys/Cisco SPA phones we already owned from our previous system.  Jive was one of these, their price was competitive, and their website was crystal clear about their service.  We picked them, and the experience has been light years better than with our previous providers.  Knowledgeable staff at every level, they answered every question without an extra phone call.

Jive Communications: Exteremly professional

Posted on: Sep 15, 2011
Pros
Exteremly professional. They have already provided me better support than my other VoIP provider and their quaility is as good or better for the same price. The GUI interface on their adminstration web site is a breeze to use to teak inbound call routing etc.
Cons
A little more than I wanted to pay, but the lower priced tiered services all appeared to be much lower tier providers. Their name. Jive just does not sound professional. I almost did not contact them because of the name.

Once I signed up, I received an email welcoming me to Jive.  I received a call from the installation specialist who started asking questions so that he could setup my find me /follow me and voice mail options.  If did not even realize that I was getting a find me/follow me serivce.  Unfortunatly, I could not stay on the phone that point so he made an appointment with me for the next day.  Just as my appointment alarm went off, my phone rang.  It was Jive to finish my installation.

The installation took less than 30 minutes total and that included me making some serious changes to my firewall.  If I had not had the firewall that I have, we would have had my Bria softphone up and running in about 15 minutes including the time he took to configure my find me/follow me and voice mail.

My other through up their hands attempting to configure Bria and left it to me.

Love, love, LOVE Jive

Posted on: Sep 07, 2011
Pros
Customer service is top notch! From the sales department to the customer support. The few times I've had updates, questions, or problems Jive Support answers and resolves things immediately. If I have to leave a voicemail for support, someone from Jive gets back to me within 5 minutes.
Cons
We've had Jive for about 3 years and I honestly can't think of any cons.

When we decided to change our phone systems to VOIP, we looked into several companies. Jive won out in the competition with flying colors. Our sales rep, Candice, was very educated and passed that knowledge onto us in a friendly, non-forceful way. The number one thing that sold us on Jive was that they hosted everything for us on their end. No heavy equipment had to be installed or anything like that. Updating the phone system is a piece of cake ( like adding or changing an extension to a new user). Customer support is always a phone call away, and they ALWAYS solve my questions or problems within seconds. We have had Jive for over three years, and I couldn't be happier with our choice. Their customer service was the second thing that sold us on Jive, and I must say, it has not decreased from day one. With some companies,  you have all the help in the world until you actually become a customer, but that is not the case with Jive. They have kept us happy every step along the way. Love, love, LOVE Jive!!!

Jive is a template for a great company with a great staff

Posted on: Aug 16, 2011
Pros
being able to program the phones and auto attendant to do exactly what we want!
Cons
none yet

As a business owner I speak with companies all day long.  I believe that Jive  is a template for a great company with a great staff.  Every moment of contact with the company I get to speak with competent professional employees that are obviously well trained and anxious to help me with anything.  The phones and product are a progressive way to manage my business in this quick changing world of electronics.  Programming is a breeze thanks to an hour long phone training appointment.  The phones are smart!  I would recommend anyone to this company to fill their need for a positive change in their phone needs!  Thanks Jive...you're the best.

Jive has been absolutely wonderful

Posted on: Aug 08, 2011
Pros
Reliable, friendly customer service and technical support, quick and efficient.
Cons
None!

Jive has been absolutely wonderful. We would never go elsewhere. Their great prices and quality service is hard to beat. Our Jive representative has been nothing but the greatest help for us. We are constantly ordering new phones and it's almost as if they are shipped the second we call. They are so quick, and Jive makes it so we are up and running 5 minutes out of the box.

Jive's been my choice time and time again

Posted on: Aug 08, 2011
Pros
Customer Service, Value, Ease of Use, Features, Quality, Feels like a "partnership" (i.e. My success feels genuinely important to them!), Never Pressured
Cons
Haven't found one yet in 4 years.

I couldn't imagine having my phone system with anyone else. I've been responsible for telecommunications for a few organizations over the years, and Jive's been my choice time and time again.  At first, I thought I could outsmart everyone and build a calling system for virtual offices & employees via a combination of various products out there (VoIP, virtual PBX, mobile phones, land lines, etc.). I should have just called Jive from the get go. Sales, set up, pricing, and all that good stuff was super easy and straight forward. Even though we work in a "virtual world", it's still nice to feel "connected", and the phone and system features do a great job doing that for my org. End users have plenty of options for making their phone work for them without needing an IT degree, and I can keep the rest all neat and tidy via the web admin. And if I get into a pickle, Jive's customer service is available to help! I can't imagine having to deal with one of the larger, well-known telephone or cable companies for their "customized" solutions ever again. Everything about Jive just WORKS. Let's face it - there are plenty of options out there that can do similar things. I stick with Jive because I know I'm going to get great service for the price be it technical quality, advice, or support. I have never had a better partner in my business than Jive. They get me. I really don't know how they do it. As long as they keep on doing it, though, I'm a very happy customer.

(One fun fact. My org hosts large conferences and events, and we use our Jive system onsite to keep our expected level of customer service. One of the phones was damange during transit. Jive helped me try to find a local retailer from who I could by a VoIP replacement. When none surfaced with a satisfactory phone, they overnighted a new phone ready to work just like the old one! And, after we settled back into our offices, they contacted me to see if we needed help repairing the old one! Now THAT'S service.)

Jive Communications is great

Posted on: Aug 03, 2011
Pros
Service is great. Reliable, stable connection and voice quality is excellent. Great use of Polycomm phone.
Cons
Nothing material

I have been with Jive for nearly 4 years.  Recently started a new account for our small company.  Great service and flexibility.  They seem able and willing to provide anything VOIP related that we need.  Added a vanity toll free with no fuss, then helped me resolve how to handle the calls from that number in a very creative way.  The responses have been very professional and prompt when needing information, support or answers.  The pricing is fair. 

Recently, there was a system upgrade that provides amazingly superior voice quality and many enhanced features on the polycomm phone.  It is a win-win relationship.  I feel that there has been significant value provided by this vendor for my business.  A terrific service.
