What do you like best about Flowroute?

The pricing is excellent, and the customer service used to be great at one point in time as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flowroute?

Flowroute has let my business down, and I have already switched to a different provider. I will be porting any remaining numbers from Flowroute as soon as possible. We submitted our 10DLC registration for company text messaging 23 days ago, yet there has been no progress on our tickets. Our text messaging capabilities have been disabled, causing us significant business losses. Avoid Flowroute at all costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flowroute solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flowroute?

support has been terrible. after they have changed hands from intrado to BCMOne. their implementation of MFA/2FA has threw a wrench in operations and the policies backing it are terrible. when i tried to resolve my issue and got no help they threatened to turn of the service. only when i used foul language did i get their attention. now im "noted" as having used foul language. they have also taken payment through credit card and not credited my account. terrible customer service. i am moving my numbers to VOXTELESYS as i will actually save even more money. calulatein out my first client will save $30/year, and second client will save about $40/year. the latter will have a intial setup of $48 but moving forward it will be a long term saving. the former is only a $16 setup. i finally got help from the department that ports numbers out and seem to have a resolution to my issues. but from the department worried about losing business. the "Lead VoIP Engineer" tech support was worthless. The CSR's in billing are great. they actually look at an account before issuing threats of disconnection of service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flowroute solving and how is that benefiting you?

helping me solve? only the cost of service savings over SIP and VoIP systems from other ISPs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although we are generally satisfied with Flowroute, the response time is sometimes slow and it is very necessary when we need help quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flowroute?

The pricing is very competitive and the online portal is easy to use. When it works, it's an excellent value. Call quality is clear and fraud prevention controls are useful. They offer basic support and usually respond in a reasonable amount of time. The documentation provided is pretty good as well giving examples of how to configure a variety of products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flowroute?

When things aren't working support isn't super helpful when it comes to troubleshooting a particular configuration. We have issues with outgoing calls not going through from our PBX even though is works fine with other SIP providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flowroute:

Make sure you have a good resource for troubleshooting your particular PBX if you are going to use one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flowroute solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a lot of DIDs and Flowroute provides an affordable way to use them. Our previous provider was nearly 4 time more expensive. It's also nice to be able to have calls fallback to forwarding when a SIP connection fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alysia Rogers of Flowroute

Thank you, Meir, for your honest review. It definitely gets tricky for us to try to troubleshoot another company's equipment, but we can certainly understand your frustrations. Hopefully, you were able to resolve the issues with your PBX. We are glad our services are working well and are affordable for you! Thank you for being a valuable customer!

What do you like best about Flowroute?

Flowroute provides an easy to use interface, with friendly staff and support to help with any potential issues along the way. Flowroute's support is timely and helpful compared to other organizations we have worked with in the past for DID management. The step by step instructions make it very easy to accomplish any tasks. There is plenty of documentation to read through for any variety of potential issues we could

run into. For us, Flowroute is a one stop shop for purchasing, pointing, and utilizing DIDs. Flowroute also provides additional services may choose to use in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flowroute?

Server retirement process and self administration can be confusing. The administration panel could be laid out more intuitively. For instance, changing payment methods can be a bit of a pain. That said, searching through the documentation doesn't take too long at all. As for server retirement, this is an inevitability with any of these services. Additionally, it is not a frequent occurrence. We only had to deal with it once during our tenure with Flowroute. In our experiences, we had some issues with migration early on. The process is detailed in emails sent prior to retirement but could be more descriptive. That being said, when we ran into issues, the staff was timely and helpful in resolving any issues we ran into along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flowroute:

Don't utilize too many services for telecommunications. Less is more, and I believe Flowroute accomplishes everything most firms require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flowroute solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our firm utilizes Flowroute to route DIDs to our numerous PBX servers around the world with ease. Flowroute allows our firm to navigate having multiple offices around the world a piece of cake. Administration of our DIDs is extremely simple. We can add multiple DIDs simultaneously, and make changes all with just a few short steps. We no longer have to rely on multiple sources to acccomplish these tasks! Ultimately, we have saved thousands of dollars by not having to use more than one service for DID management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alysia Rogers of Flowroute

Thank you for recognizing our hard-earned efforts to provide a quality product and service! Your feedback, either positive or negative, is essential to us in making sure we are delivering the very best to you. We recognize the difficulties that can arise with server retirement and we appreciate that you hung in there with us as we assisted you through that. We are so glad you chose us to be your SIP Provider!

What do you like best about Flowroute?

Ease of setup and "only pay for what you use" pricing model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flowroute?

Billing reports could could use a few more filtering options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flowroute solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a dynamic sip trunk provider as we were unclear how many calls would be active at any one time. We also didn't want to pay for all inclusive sip trunks that were not being used. Flowroute fills both of those needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alysia Rogers of Flowroute

Thank you, Brant, for leaving us a review! We are pleased that our services are meeting your business's needs. We are always working hard to improve, so if you'd like to give us some more details on the specific ways we can provide more filtering options for our billing, feel free to send us an email at lifeiseasier@flowroute.com. Thank you for being a respected customer of ours!

What do you like best about Flowroute?

The quality of service for VoIP calls is excellent. We have not experienced any outages for many years as a client of Flowroute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flowroute?

I'm not sure how they could make their service any better. We always receive a quick response for technical service questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flowroute solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our previous VoIP provider had many outages and technical support was the worst. We moved to Flowroute several years ago and have not regretted it. When a provider's services just work and you don't have to think about them, that is what we desire and what we receive. Call quality is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alysia Rogers of Flowroute

Thank you so much for all the positive feedback! We are ecstatic to know that our products are meeting your needs and that our support services are providing you with the best in response time and help! We thank you for your business and hope we can continue to exceed your expectations.
