Five9 "Works" sometimes, but like clockwork every single week it just stops working in the middle of calls with customers. Incredibly infuriating and the only way to get it to work again is to shut everything down, reinstall the extension, and repeatedly refresh the page.

This seems like a real basic phone and sometimes its not perfect its ok it makes revenue and keeps things working i really think there's a potential of betterment from the developers but its not enough to carry a more advanced workflow we are not yet using some important features that could make us better. rule of thumb says its pretty cool, thanks for the experience i will pray it works for us for many months into years.
