Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Nextiva is a cloud customer experience and business phone solution for sales, support, and administrative departments. It supports companies with high call volumes from the healthcare, retail, and automotive industries. Users laud its easy set-up and administrative control offered. However, navigation of the portal receives the most negative feedback. Recently, Nextiva upgraded XBert, which is their artificial intelligence employee for customer interaction.

Our Verdict

Nextiva is a practical solution for small to medium-sized companies that handle high call volumes. It suits businesses that want to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for customer communication without substantial IT resources. Its multi-tier pricing model works well for expanding businesses. We recommend it for growing businesses in retail, insurance, and automotive industries.

Nextiva Features

Workforce Management

Through Nextiva’s workforce management features, contact center managers can predict staffing requirements, create schedules, and monitor agent compliance in real-time. Supervisors can also determine which agents are on, which are off, and where staffing shortages might arise during busy periods.

Video Meetings

The software allows teams to hold video calls with screen sharing and recording all in the same app they use for phone and messaging. No more switching between a client call and an internal huddle with a separate login or tool. Features like recording and screen sharing make it easy to document decisions or take customers through a product without switching platforms.

AI Agents

Nextiva’s ‘Agent Assist’ enables lawyers and attorneys to monitor live calls and texts in real time. It also serves as a reserve for relevant information, possible responses, and options to proceed with the communication process. Plus, inexperienced agents can leverage this feature in their work to identify potential training moments as soon as possible.

Calls And Text Management

Serving as the core of the entire telephone system, the ‘Business Voice’ tool combines inbound and outbound calling capabilities, SMS texting, call routing and auto-attendants. It enables teams to call and text using a business phone number, regardless of the device they use.

Messenger

The software’s ‘Messenger’ tool assists firms in collecting all messages from various platforms, including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, into one inbox. It helps agents respond to all messages within one screen, eliminating the need to log into different applications in order to check messages.

Voice Agents

Nextiva’s AI voice agent helps users answer incoming calls, collect information, book appointments, and answer common questions, all without the need for a live agent. When necessary, teams can pass complex or sensitive calls to a live agent, ensuring that calls do not go unanswered during busy periods.

See How It Works
Analytics And Reporting

The platform’s ‘Customer Analytics’ module helps legal teams transform information from calls, chats, and surveys into dashboards. These dashboards empower users to monitor response time, CSAT metrics, and agent performance in all channels. Additionally, the management can identify slow response trends or declining satisfaction before it becomes a larger churn issue. All the information is collected in one centralized location and updated in real time based on each interaction.

“Predatory contracts and awful support”

Pros

The app was easy to use and the overall user experience felt solid. Plus most integrations worked properly the first time I set them up.

Cons

I ran into what felt like predatory contracts. There's no way to manage my account or billing from the admin console so I had to call the company to enable the billing section just to view charges. Customer support was awful, seeming designed to block rather than assist when I tried to change or close my account. After more than 20 emails to close it, they still billed my credit card the following month. In my experience, they're just as bad as RingCentral so I'd avoid them.

“Genuinely like the messaging feature”

Pros

I genuinely like the messaging feature and how convenient it is to run the Nextiva app on both my desktop and phone.

Cons

Occasionally, call quality drops when I am traveling or away from Wi?Fi, making conversations less clear. Even so, the service is reliable more often than not.

“Very unreliable connectivity and support”

Pros

VoIP phone service is a strong concept and customizing a phone system is what a growing business needs. However, I don't believe Nextiva is the right solution as I have found other vendors that perform better.

Cons

Unfortunately, I have had very unreliable connectivity with this tool as people often have to repeatedly log in and out of the app. I have spent hours with technical support only for the service to work briefly and then break again about two weeks later. There feels like no real customer support as every time we try to get help, we have to re?enter our verification PIN, company name and owner's name at least three times before speaking to anyone.
