Business VoiceEdge Reviews

Pros

I love that we are able to set up different options for when our business is closed or for holidays.

Cons

The price. VoiceEdge added to our telephone/internet expense. Comcast always has specials and promotions for new services but the expense increases after the promotion expires. I would like to have a set price that does not vary so much from year to year.

Pros

This internet phone system is super easy to use and has a lot of great features that are all customize-able through a web browser. You can setup and change hunt groups with the simple click of a button.

Cons

I wish there was a way to differentiate incoming calls by the line that they are dialing but that function is not available at this time.

Pros

nothing about this service was good. From the sales team to the service. It's horrible

Cons

I would like to file a complaint about comcast business voice. I’m not pleased with the service that I’m getting from this company. You can check the account notes of how many times I have been in contact with comcast over the span of the past several months. I started comcast business voice 6 seats in March 2020. During this time Covid lock down occurred forcing business to shut down and work from home. My company also uses T-mobile to work remotely. When the staff returned to the office slowly during the May and June months they noticed that the voice lines had static and calls were being dropped. Our consumers could not reach us as well. So I contacted a comcast rep and they blamed it on the wiring done by the 3rd party. So I had my IT guy come in and check the lines and they were installed fine. I called again and they sent out a Comcast rep. The comcast rep stated that comcast when they initially installed the equipment did not install the boot file correctly. This was then fixed in November 2020. So I contacted a supervisor to get credited for the months I have been charged for because comcast dropped the ball in installing my service. The supervisor put in the request and told me to wait 2 billing cycles. It is now February 2021 and nobody contacted me from comcast.

Pros

None, the service has been a nightmare from the beginning.

Cons

Everything setting it up has been a nightmare. In the first 2 months we were left without service multiple times. One of the times we were without phone service for over 1 week due to comcast sending us faulty equipment and taking over a week to correctly diagnose and replace it. This cost us a huge amount of money and aggravation and Comcast offered us a $100 statement credit for the failure. It was basically a slap in the face saying the don't care about our business. I explained to them that not only did we lose business but I had to forward all the lines and pay an answering service answer phone calls and they basically said that wasn't there issue despite their incompetence leaving us without phones for over a week.

Pros

Business VoiceEdge is very useful. Once you figure out how to use it. It has really helped cutting down on scam phone calls that come thru our phone system after hours. I love the functionality and customisability of the system.

Cons

At first using this system can be extremely frustrating. I can't count the amount of time I spent on the phone with customer service trying to understand. Customer service is great once you get to the actual person which can take a long time.

Pros

The only thing I like about this software is that once it is fully configured it is pretty much set it and forget it.

Cons

This list is long;
For starters not allowing IT to fully control the phone is absurd. Working in IT I need to sit on their phone with the support to do the most basic things, like rebooting a phone REMOTELY!
The response i received from a Support Rep was due to some IT admins screwing phones up in their company and calling for help was too much for Comcast to try and troubleshoot so they lock everyone out of remote accessing the phones.

Next on the list is business hours scheduling. It is just very confusing and their was no documentation on configuring it in the admin guide or training before implementing.

One final con that makes me regret this software is the lack of features and things you can do in other Vendors. Ring Central for instance allows IT to order a phone and pay through the portal and get invoiced after the phone is received without calling and waiting to speak to a representative. This you have to call the 888 number and verify your account then tell them you need a new seat one and give them all the user detail and then you wait 10 or more days to receive the phone and have the user created.

Pros

The voice quality and the price per seat are very competitive. The phone and computer apps offer seamless presence, and the ability to bounce calls from one device to another is nice.

Cons

If you need to make any changes to your service, they will tell you it takes 7 to 10 business days. This has happened to me three times since our service was turned up. When we had Ring Central, if I wanted to add a new toll free number (which we do with some regularity), they would have the number assigned to our account while I was on the phone. With Comcast, the same request takes 7-10 business days. Here is another major problem. I brought this up during the sales process, and my hunch has been proven correct. When Comcast goes down, it goes down over a wide area. And it goes down for long periods of time. Anywhere from 4 hours to TWO DAYS. They will feed you a line of BS that one service could go down (internet) while another service (like phone) can continue to work because each type of service uses a different signal across the line. Don't buy it. It's a blatant lie. Whether residential or business, Comcast couldn't care less about your business downtime. This reality irks me about Comcast. We've had service for 3 years and have between 4 and 5 major outages each year.

Pros

The VoiceEdge receptionist console works very well.

Cons

Managing phones is a nightmare. The web-site used is severely underpowered.

Pros

POE, brand name equipment. Soft-phone works well. Many options and features to choose from. User friendly portal.

Cons

Slow client support to change any service. 7-10 business days. No accountability for their mistakes.

Pros

For a small to mid business that isn't ready for a full-on PBX, voice edge is a decent option allowing a good amount of flexibility and control over calls, numbers, devices and team members. For a remote team and especially any company that involves a sales organization, this is a good starter to intermediate option.

Cons

Comcast has a relatively poor reputation for a reason - their entire company culture and management team is based on the idea that they are a monopoly whose sole reason for existing is to separate customers from their money and issue it to executives and stockholders through rate hikes, various fees and charges.

Pros

Can't think of one. I can't even say price as they have cost us so muck money with the problems they have caused!

Cons

Horrible customer service. Total lack of responsibility. These habe been my experiences all the way up to the corporate offices

Pros

I liked what I was TOLD it would do for us.

Cons

The speed of customer service is terrible. Comcast cannot react to the speed businesses need. Things will be set fine and we don't change anything, then a problem will suddenly occur and the process to get it resolved it PAINFUL. Their onboarding is left up to the tech who just wants to get done and move on. They do what they can, but they have other jobs waiting on them. The resources and search is horrible. The chat customer service doesn't know what they are doing most of the time and then your problem is escalated to Tier 2, with no direct way to communicate with them, they tell you a problem is solved, when it isn't. Be prepared to go days with no resolution. See what good old AT&T has solution wise and stick with a company that knows phones.

Pros

The software is easy to use for our small business. Comcast Business works better than AT&T. We use the software daily and know we are getting a good deal for the service.

Cons

We use the software daily and rely on it fully. Although for the most part it works fine, there are times when the software lags or every so often we lose service and are out of phone and internet for hours. We are at their mercy and cannot continue work without the service.

Pros

The call quality is good, that is about all I can say.

Cons

There is no support. Also, if you pick up the phone, in say - the kitchen - and need to get to your computer to answer a question on the call, you must, put the kitchen phone on hold, run to your office phone, pick it up, run back to the kitchen, hang up that phone, run back to your office and take the call. Only slightly better than tin cans. And it is expensive.

Pros

The physical phones that we're supplied with the failed system. The great sales pitch they give full of lies.

Cons

Incorrect line ID for your outbound lines, confusing your customers.
Receiving calls daily for other local businesses, undermining your own businesses.
Engineers that can't fix any of the repeating issues, complete waist of time.
A barrage of ghost calls that never stop.

Pros

It works...most of the time. Comcast is a huge company, so they aren't going anywhere soon. They will be around.

Cons

STAY AWAY. However, some times there is no other choices for business. I was forced into it and didn't like it. Expensive and they are tricky with their billing.

Pros

Great internet!

Cons

They make it hard to leave and hang up when trying to contact retention team. Phone system lacks features such as voice recording, app is horrible, and constantly denied disconnect request and said I owe them a additional 2 years to buyout and I signed a contract saying I agreed to it when in reality I didn’t. They have you on a long hold and wait to finish the disconnect process and said it’ll take 60 day notice before I can leave and hold my phone number hostage it’s a real frustrating experience I am almost at a point to where I would rather just get a new number which is horrible for business.

Pros

The ONLY pro is being able to "be anywhere" by using my cell phone. I can set it to "be anywhere" and it will also call my cell phone so I can still answer my phone calls while away without giving out my cell phone number

Cons

SO MANY CONS.
Terrible service, pricing is awful, phones are often down, the interface is SO DIFFICULT, changing anything is so difficult to accomplish.

Pros

Phone quality ok, looks nice.

Cons

Hard to use, cannot place a call on hold without hitting several different buttons, hate it, customer service terrible

Pros

We switched to Comcast Business VoiceEdge a couple of years ago. While there have been problems, the customer service is pretty dependable. The online portal allows me to manage all of the features easily. The app is a great feature too!

Cons

While I like the setup now, it was difficult actually getting the portals and everyone setup.

Pros

Frustrated every other month Comcast has problems Working for Comcast should be very good.Vacations.

Cons

Hurricanes in Atlantic Ocean shuts Comcast down .Billing is great No services.Small businesses cannot run without phones,email services but Comcast does not get that

Pros

this system was simple, but it almost became to simple and lacked flexibility

Cons

the Comcast team had our account separated into multiple accounts and was never able to join then back together. this lead to billing problems for years.

Pros

The phone app (when it works). Phones are included with the price.

Cons

The sudden loss of service for our 800 numbers, hunt group setup, terrible support, and no help from the sales team. Their portal is the worst one I have worked with. Even their support people can't figure it out. Getting a new phone or reassigning a phone to a new location can take weeks.

Pros

I love that Comcast is quick and fast. If we have had any problems we have been able to contact Customer support and get the help needed. The price is good for what we are getting!

Cons

I have enjoyed everything. Customer support did put me on hold for a little while, but other than that no complaints!

Pros

The program works on a cloud based phone system. The program really does save time and money! I love the many calling features that helps raise the productivity of the business.

Cons

At first it was complex to figure out configuration, and to add a phone or a line. In my experience there are not too many significant complaints from my end. I'm pretty well satisfied!
