What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Not much. I got a number and *thought* it was going to be a useful tech to have for my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

Where to begin... Not knowing that I was going to have to go through all kinds of legal crap with my PLLC and such, it took longer to register this number because of all of that, which was then longer than the free trial. Then it keeps forgetting who I am, and I have to reset password when I go into the app because I don't use it enough to count. Overall, tech support has been not so supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed a business number. I got one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

The support function was a nightmare as was the signup process. They closed my account fo rnon payment,.. then issued a blanket statement saying their policy doest allow for refunds of any kind, and finally the support function just goes in circles. It was really, really bad.I was surprised given the reviews I had from fellow business owners. It was like of the three items you need to set up an account- all three went as poorly as possible.

What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Grasshopper was very user friendly.

It was easy to use and never really had a need to contact customer support.

We used it for a few years and were very satisfied.

The implemenation was easy and we loved that we can use it on a line line/VOIP or also log into the Grasshopper app and answer on the go.

Grasshopper app is slightly better than our current company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

Downside was that we grew rather quickly and needed to switch to another company to meet our needs. Other than that, we would've stayed.

Plus I believe our new company has better perks when using an 800 number with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The need to answer mutliple calls at once plus the ability to have mutliple answering the phones. Not to mention, the ease of forwarding the call or forwarding a line to another phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Adequate service. Most companies require some level of security to change primary information... Not this company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

No Security. All anyone needs to steal your account and phone number is your credit card information. They will not return the service or business phone number back to you without a court order.They send an email to inform you that your information and account email was changed, but never sent one prior to authorization. Move your number while you can! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
