    Slick and intuitive app across desktop and mobile

    I've been a Circle Loop user for over a year now and I've seen it grow from a straightforward call solution into something much greater. Using CL has enabled me to manage my calls through one easy to use streamlined interface. I'm excited to see what new features the app gains next.

    Pros

    As a contractor, I'm often in a situation where its important to share my number with clients. By using Circle Loop I can keep my primary phone number private whilst sharing my CL number with clients. As my company grows with different departments (Development, UX, etc) I can make new hires and allow them to use their private phone and install Circle Loop on their device. This allows them to keep a device they are familiar with and remove the need to use a separate company phone.

    Cons

    At the moment, there are few negatives for me. Circle Loop is competitively priced, has great customer support and a development team that is engaged with providing regular updates. If I had to choose one area that I would like to see improvement is the ability to manage conference calls, although I believe this is an upcoming feature in 2018.

    I have a very good experience with CircleLoop. I use their service to run my business from home with ease and comfort, it also has helped me to save a lot of money that other companies are taking with the same functionality.

    Pros

    It was easy to set up and run. I like the simpleness of their user interface, it is very easy to use. Their integration is the best, I was able to integrate it with my favorite CRM software.

    Cons

    Call routine rules setup is a little complex, and receiving SMS does not sends push notifications.

    I have used circleloop for several years both for myself and also on behalf of my clients (Via the Circleloop reseller program). I typically manage clients VOIP tenants via the Circleloop online dashboard.

    Pros

    I like how easy it is to set up, use and manage Circleloop and also how easy it is to add clients to it via my reseller account. Circleloop is also very affordable.

    Cons

    I wish there was a more comprehensive dashboard with more features when it comes to managing calls, redirections and so on. At the moment there are less features than other similar VOIP platforms.

    Good when it works

    It is OK for the price, but its inconsistencies let it down.

    It is OK for the price, but its inconsistencies let it down.

    Pros

    It is good when it works and is easy to call from FLG, straight to the clients through circleloop

    Cons

    The inconsistency of the calls not logging with FLG has been a factor and continues to be. Circle Loop also doesn't always connect calls and you have to redial a few times sometimes before it does.
