“Smooth implementation and the Teams integration works seamlessly, but the API lacks needed User configuration features ”

4.0
May 20, 2026
The product implementation was a very smooth process. The Vonage implementation team was very helpful and coordinated the launch with great expertise in their field. We are happy with the ongoing support from our customer success manager. Overall, our experience with Vonage has been very positive. Directly after go live, we had issues with specific phone numbers receiving a lot of SPAM and unsolicited calls. The issues with these numbers were addressed in a timely manner and haven't heard of any issues since. There are a few specific areas where we would like to see improvements. Currently, we can automatically provision users. Which works well, but once the user is in the Vonage system there is a manual set up process. We would like to be able to assign extensions and/or direct dial phone numbers to a user via the API. Or assign those users to a call group via the API.

CRITICAL

“Good General Business Platform with Mixed Results in Advanced Operational Use Cases”

3.0
May 19, 2026
Our overall experience with Vonage has been mixed. Day-today calling functionality is generally stable, and the support teams have typically been professional and willing to engage when issues are escalated appropriately. Some issues have required lengthy troubleshooting efforts involving multiple vendors and extended escalation timelines before meaningful progress was made. While we appreciate the willingness of support personnel and product teams to discuss concerns, there has also been a noticeable shift in development focus toward Intelligent Workspace, which appears to limit enhancement prioritization for existing platforms currently in production use. Overall, the platform is functional for many standard business communication needs, but organizations with complex IVR, utility operations, contact center workflows, or highly integrated telephony environments may encounter operational limitations that require significant coordination and troubleshooting effort.

Vonage Business Communications (VBC) Likes & Dislikes

Like

The integration with Microsoft Teams is a great way to handle calls. The voicemail to email option is fantastic and allows for automatic deletion of emails from the Vonage system. This means that no voicemail box is ever full. It's a really good feature. We are very happy with the call quality and have not had any complaints regarding dropped calls or calls that have sound breaking up or muffled.

Like

Flexible remote and mobile communication capabilities for users across multiple locations and work environments. Centralized cloud-based management that simplifies many administrative and deployment tasks.

Like

Setup and management are rather easy. Provisioning devices into the platform works well. Setting up new locations is easy and straight forward. Virtual receptionists work well. Call quality and service is usually pretty good most of the time.

Dislike

1) This is not a product issue, but billing is an annoyance. We often get an invoice for less than X dollar because we have moved an extension from one location to another. It is a regular occurrence and often how we do business. It's important for us to keep track of what phone numbers are assigned to which location and if there is a change made, how that that extension/phone number moves. But this means we typically receive invoices for pennies. If I follow the info on each of the invoices, it's due to fees not aligning. But it would be great if this could be part of our regular monthly invoice instead of receiving a bill for $X. 2) It's not possible for our end users at specific locations to manage their employees' phone numbers/extensions (without granting admin access that they should not have). We would like to see more functionality in the API regarding user configuration and set up. Specifically, the ability to assign an extension and/or direct dial to a user and assign a user to a call group. 3) Also, when setting up new users, if there are no local phone numbers available in our account. When this occurs, we need to contact our account rep to add a new phone number. I would like to see the functionality to add a new DID phone number to our account in the admin portal.

Dislike

Limited flexibility and enhancement prioritization within the current platform, particularly for specialized operational workflows. Troubleshooting complex media/signaling issues can require extended coordination between multiple vendors, resulting in long resolution timelines. Some platform limitations and desired features appear unlikely to be addressed due to development focus shifting toward newer platforms such as Intelligent Workspace.

Dislike

Not being able to manage desk phone settings from the portal can be tough sometimes. Can only see those settings by remoting into the web GUI of the phone. A user in a call group that has a forward on can hijack call group settings is a real pain. Vonage's support is probably our least favorite. Takes way too long sometimes to get issues resolved. I also wish our accounts default location could be changed without having to rebuild the entire account. VGIS could use some work. Not just on administration visibility / troubleshooting, but the product itself. Constantly logs users out that use the Hubspot integration. The Hubspot integration licensing management could be re-worked. It is difficult that after you buy the license under a location, you cannot change that location. That license will always stay tied to the location it was originally purchased under. I wish that in the reporting, caller ID wasn't a random GUID. It can make filtering reports harder.

    Smooth setup and management, but some admin limitations persist. All can be offset by support delays.

    Product overall meets our needs just fine at the moment. The admin portal is pretty straight forward and easy to manage. Implementation has been rather easy in all sections of the platform. Our account representative has our backs. She always makes things even better and helps keep things running smoothly. Whenever we are running into issues with support, she always helps get more visibility onto our issues. I can confidently say that without her, we would have been looking at other VoIP options a long time ago.
