"Cool for Experimentation in Design"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Grasshopper is a neat plug-in for Rhinoceros that allows for some smart, complicated math to create experimental design. It requires some almost "coding" but for those with a puzzle-minded brain, it's enjoyable to work with and try different options.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

It can be a little complicated at times to understand how to use and put the various bits of code together. It could be easier to use if there were more helpful hints about how to create the flow of your program, or to see things change live as you manipulate.

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

Grasshopper takes the difficulty of complicated math and algorithms out of your hands while designing and lets you maintain focus on what piece of design you are experimenting with.

"Great solution for small business "
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

It was super easy to set up. We were taking calls and getting voicemails right away. The ability for the whole team to use their cell phones was nice as well.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

It didn’t have the reporting that our company eventually needed. We also had a lot of difficulty with international calls. Eventually our business outgrew the platform.

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

Telephone system. Customer support. We benefitted by having a “real” business line that we could give out to clients

"Good phone system for work from home or mobile business"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Grasshopper makes it easy to add or remove business lines to the account so that people can still use their cell phones without their personal number being used.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

The cost is a bit high compared to other providers but the customer support is very helpful. The need to charge 10 dollars per line that you want to have SMS active, is a disappointment when you have multiple phone numbers being used.

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

The benefit of a desktop app is very useful for taking and making calls directly from computer in addition to the voice studio that can direct callers to extensions based upon the reason for their call.

"It's a great service for start-ups"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

It's lightweight, inexpensive, and flexible.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

As we more formalize our office, there isn't a way to integrate it into physical phone for someone's desk. I have some employees who need a phone, but using their cell phone isn't an ideal solution for us. The soft-phone is an okay solution for now.

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

We have a business line that works no matter where we are. It allows for customer service after hours.

"Great responsive people and willing to work through things if needed. "
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

I've never had a call drop. The service department did an excellent job of getting a number we accidentally ported to a different system we were trying out and got it back quickly. They have an "old" interface that has some additional functionality like 4 digit extensions and additional call routing options and if you ask them about it they will swap you to the old interface. Speech to text is pretty darned good and any person in the company can be assigned any DIDs, so multiple people can be put into a single extension as either an ACD queue, round robin, or free-for-all. Also, if you ASK, they will set you up with a PC based softphone. It works great and I don't know why they don't push it. Maybe it uses more resources? I don't know. But I use it on my PC with a headset all the time. One other cool thing is that you can actually run multiple businesses with different numbers off the same account. When we first started we had 3 numbers. One was for out WISP, one for our Agent channel business, and a third for PC repair. Later we added two more numbers to the firs two companies and we were able to use one number for one type of add and another for something different and determined quite easily in a short time which was most effective. :-)

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

I'm not fond of the way the mobile app works. You can make outbound calls on the app, but inbound are routed to your cell phone directly. You can configure this to show your company name so every call coming in from grasshopper shows "Your Business Name". Or you can have it pass through caller ID but then you don't know if it's a personal or business call. If they had a full-fledged mobile phone app that you could make and receive calls on it would be MUCH better. Then again, when we were setup as three separate businesses, I was able to set it to show which company they were calling for and answer appropriately. So maybe instead of having a full blown calling app, they should have both.

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

Started out with one person. Growing, adding DIDs, call queues, extensions, direct inward dialing, are all incredibly easy. We now have 9 people on it 5 are in a sales queue, 2 of those 5 are also on a service queue with 2 others. And one from each of those groups is with two others in a billing group. That's some nice flexibility and it was incredibly easy to setup.

"Wonderful, Easy to Manage Product"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Grasshopper gives you the ability to manage and customize your company's phone system easily and at a great price point.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

Only complaint would be the inability to distinguish a Grasshopper call from a direct call when using a cell phone, while still utilizing caller ID. If a current customer calls using our Grasshopper system, it would be nice to know that they 1. Called through Grasshopper and 2. Who exactly is calling.

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

In handling product sales it has been beneficial to have the ability to easily modify company main messages and after hours messages. As well as modify forwarding options on a time frame basis per employee. This way our new and existing clients always receive a professional and timely interaction with our staff.

"So far so good."
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

I like that I have an 800 number to show the market that I am nationally available. I like the professionalism attached by having the 800 number. I like that the system forwards the calls to my cell phone, which is my primary phone, and allows me to not miss potential sales calls.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

I dislike the pricing, but it worth it at the same time.

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

I'm able to take sales calls through the United States.

"Great product - Little steep on the pricing for my liking"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Grasshopper hosts a suite of information, features, and support for its users. They're constantly looking to provide their customers with an edge by offering valuable resources for step 1 of their process. - Even before you sign up, you're still able to use their templates and information for SMBs - The Ability to pick between Toll free numbers or Local numbers, or both! - Voicemail to text transcription & voicemail sent to your email (Both great for my usage) - You're able to text from your business number as well as call out, no need to grab 2 phones anymore for your business

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

While Grasshopper offers a host of features that are valuable to any size business, they definitely do it at a premium compared to some other providers. If money isn't your biggest factor (Which it probably is if you're reading this deep into reviews), then go ahead and grab grasshopper! They do have different plans, and most of them offer all of the same features, but it's no fun to be limited on your minutes used when you're paying $24/mo. (That's only 500 minutes)

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

Grasshopper has not only made me sound far more professional by adopting it's call-center features and Toll-free numbers, but it has also increased my productivity a noticeable amount. The ability to get voicemails and direct clients through some prompts has saved me a whole load of time.

"Great way to manage calls with a central number and look professional in sales"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

If you're in B2B sales you need to publish your phone number (and it better be toll-free), but this raises a lot of problems as your sales team scales. What happens if you fire someone, transition someone, need off-hours, etc? You will shortly realize that it's better to have a central number with extensions that you can always control, but that seems daunting to set up. Grasshopper makes all of that easy, Get up and running with an 800 number in under ten minutes. You can admin all of the extensions and messages, access voicemail, fax, etc. through the web and app. The android app (can't speak for iOS) works for making calls through the 800 number as well, which is pretty awesome (but also counts towards your minutes per month!). It's only $12 a month to start with pay as you go for the minutes, which isn't terrible. The $24 plan has 500 minutes which is more than enough for a SaaS SMB. Very simple UI you really can't mess up, too.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

No free trial kind of sucked, but I luckily had access to $100 to test it out via our company's accelerator. The problem once signed up is they try to convince you to pay for many upsells - they'll record your base message for $75, you can get transcribed voice mail for $10 a month (Really? My personal carrier does this for free), simultaneous call forward etc.

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

Number/agent management, voice mail, providing toll free calling for customers, directing calls to relevant employees, providing a professional experience.

"Grasshopper does what is says it will do."
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

The user interface is easy to navigate, listen to messages.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

Extra features are confusing or hidden behind additional costs. The ability to forward calls and messages elsewhere was lacking. Disconnecting service is not nearly as easy as set-up, usually a red flag.

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

Community members have a manageable number to reach our organization. The set-up was quick and easy. Community members were able to reach us through the service quickly.

"Great Phone Service, with one Exception"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

It's very easy to set up and use the system. Managing extensions and enabling features is straightforward. Users seem to be able to handle customizing their extensions, also.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

Two major things: 1) Their SMS support is NOT what their website claims. It's totally misleading. They only support SMS messages being delivered to Admins on the system; users can't see SMS messages coming into their personal extensions or direct numbers. They all show up in one place and the only people who can see them are Admins. This is horrble and we've complained about it for months with no sign it will be fixed (seems like something that should take a day or two toimplement). 2) Their website has some issues when administrating the system. Lots of little rendering bugs that confuse when first using the system (adding users/editing fields will not always update the screen properly so you think something didn't update when, in fact, it has. In general, I don't like that it seems there are no engineers supporting this product. I've seen no improvements or chanegs in many months and that's not right for a hosted SaaS system.

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

We needed an inexpensive service to allow our employees to have access to personal extensions while still using their mobile devices for most communications.

"Serves its purpose"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

I like that I am able to use grasshopper from my desktop or cell phone. This allows me to use the software more fluidly.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

The desktop interface is visually unappealing and it;'s not easy to notice when you are getting a call from your desktop.

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

Using my personal phone for work calls. Since I work from home; it wasn't great calling clients from a blocked number and grasshopper solves that issue. Also; international calls!

"Overall a good VOIP service for small businesses"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Easy, intuitive setup. Website interface was not so impressive, but the functionality was there. Mobile app is very useful. Desktop app was also useful. Great to be able to see text messages and voicemails across all users.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

I am based in Hawaii. Which apparently is not part of the United States. In order to call people in Hawaii, and forward calls to phone numbers in Hawaii I need to activate international calling and then I get charged international calling for calling someone down the street in Hawaii and get charged international calling when someone down the street calls me. I dislike that very much.

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

Affordable business VOIP phone system. Supports multiple users. Allows visibility to text messages and voicemails across users. Supports group texts and image transfers.

"Set It and Forget It"
What do you like best about Grasshopper?

Grasshopper, once set up, is easy to use to receive calls.

What do you dislike about Grasshopper?

It's not the easiest to use for outgoing calls. We typically just end up making calls from our direct phone numbers instead of bothering with using Grasshopper for outbound calls.

Grasshopper allows us to use our personal phones under the guise of a different business phone number.

It doesn't allow me to mute myself while listening to the person I am calling.

It gives me time to call more people in a day. Saves my time too.
