Our opinion on OVH Télécom

In use, OVH Télécom ticks all the boxes: VoIP HD, softphone included, SVI/TTS, supervision, clear console. We appreciated the fast portability and sovereign RGPD hosting. Competitive rates advertised, but not published.

On the other hand, in the field: variable support, response times, recurring incidents and some instabilities. No native CRM integrations listed. SLA and status page not communicated.

Here’s a summary of our strengths and limitations.

Benefits

✅ Softphone included and VoIP HD calls (Kavkom also offers webphone and mobile apps)

What do the reviews and testimonials say about OVH Télécom?

Trustpilot OVH Télécom
Capterra OVH Télécom

Let’s say you run a support team or a call center, and you need to keep your telephony running smoothly. OVH Télécom seems a serious choice. Before committing yourself, here’s a look at the reviews published by their customers on Google, Trustpilot and Capterra. The aim is simple: to understand what works, what doesn’t, and what this means in practical terms for your organization.

 

Overall opinion

Out of 30 reviews analyzed, the balance is negative: 10 positive, 5 mixed, 15 negative. Feedback is mixed: some highlight the good value for money, intuitive console and rapid portability. Many also praise responsive support when it’s available.

On the other hand, many report support that is difficult to reach, long lead times and recurring technical incidents. Variability of experience is a central theme, with notable differences between customers.

“Customer service is very responsive and professional. OVH Telecom helped me resolve a complex configuration quickly.” – Google

“No responsiveness, incompetent customer service and repeated malfunctions.” – Trustpilot

“Interesting offer with good value for money, but support quality and service stability can vary. ” – Capterra

Operationally, this means two things. One, onboarding and day-to-day operations can go smoothly if you get the right combination of support + stability. Two, you need to anticipate workarounds for periods of slow support or incidents, especially if your business is sensitive to outages or if you have multiple sites.

 

Pricing & evolution

The reviews do not list detailed pricing schedules. The prevailing perception is of a competitive price for all the basic features of cloud telephony. No feedback mentions hidden fees, onerous commitments, or specific volume discounts.

What users are saying, in essence, is that the price/performance ratio is considered favorable when the service is stable and support is responsive. On the other hand, the equation quickly deteriorates when tickets drag on or incidents are repeated, even if the price is attractive. In other words, the perceived cost is not just a question of the invoice, but of the cost of downtime and time lost in the field.

“Competitive price, but variable service.” – Capterra

If you adjust licenses according to the season, there’s no notice about how easy it is to increase or reduce licenses by the month, or about set-up or termination fees. This is a point to be validated contractually if your team moves frequently.

 

VoIP features

Users highlight several positive features of the VoIP core. These include efficient call management, an intuitive web console, practical features such as voice reception (interactive voice server) and a product perceived as stable by certain technical profiles. Number portability is also cited as fast.

“The value for money is very good. Management via the web console is intuitive and features like voice reception are practical.” – Google

“OVH Telecom offers a stable solution, with good call handling and rapid number portability. ” – Capterra

Opinions do not necessarily list missing functions, but point to repeated malfunctions and connection instabilities. For a manager, this means two concrete impacts. Firstly, training and the daily routine of agents can remain fluid when the interface is simple and the welcome scenarios work. Secondly, productivity plummets as soon as outages or slowdowns appear and are not quickly resolved.

 

VoIP security

The opinions analyzed do not comment on security in the strict sense of VoIP (encryption, MFA, SSO, compliance). They do, however, point to points of operational fragility linked to connection instability and frequent technical incidents for some customers. Even if this is not pure security, the effect felt is close to operational risk.

“The connection is unstable, generating frequent outages and impacting communication.” – Google

In concrete terms, your teams will need to secure network access on the LAN and Internet sides, and provide a plan B in the event of an outage. The reviews do not mention any redundancy strategy or specific mechanism. The security perimeter therefore remains undocumented in the customer feedback.

 

Steering & KPIs

The reviews don’t give any details on dashboards, real time, exports or an API. The only operational reading available concerns the web administration console, described as intuitive by some. This assessment suggests a quick grasp for day-to-day operations, but does not indicate the level of analytical depth for a manager tracking KPIs in fine detail.

“Management via the web console is intuitive.” – Google

If your day-to-day management is based on real-time KPIs, CSV exports and granular control by team, public notices are not enough to decide. You’ll need to test or request a targeted demonstration on these topics.

 

Phone number availability

Most of the feedback refers to the rapid portability of existing numbers, which remains a key point when migrating. None of the reviews address the list of countries available, number types (geographic, mobile, toll-free) or fine selection by city/region.

“Fast number portability. – Capterra

For companies with multiple sites or opening local markets, the lack of information on coverage in public notices means that you need to check in advance the availability of the prefixes and cities you want, and the actual porting times for your opening times.

 

Support & responsiveness

Support is the most polarizing topic. Many reviews tell of a responsive, professional team capable of resolving complex configurations quickly, or providing responsive after-sales service. At the same time, others speak of unreachable support, delays of several days, tickets that drag on and unresolved problems.

“Customer service is very responsive and professional.” – Google

“Long support waits and repeated technical incidents.” – Trustpilot

“Recurring problems and no adequate solution proposed.” – Trustpilot

The impact on your business is direct. An incident on a Monday morning can disorganize the queue, delay the processing of requests and generate lost revenue if the sales line is unavailable. Opinions highlight situations where resolution is slow. This calls for clear escalation processes, explicit SLAs and, where possible, network redundancy to limit exposure to outages.

We also read of more positive experiences over time, with a platform perceived as reliable and after-sales service responsive in the event of a glitch. Variability remains, however, from case to case.

“Reliable platform with good after-sales service.” – Trustpilot

 

Third-party integrations

The reviews analyzed make no mention of integrations with CRM or other third-party tools. There’s nothing about API openness, contact form pop-ups, automatic call escalation, or limitations related to plans. As it stands, it’s impossible to judge the depth of integration from these testimonials.

For a sales or support manager who wants to work from his CRM without double entry, this is a blind spot in public notices. You’ll need to check the availability of the connectors on which you depend, and their actual production capabilities, during a demonstration.

 

What you need to remember for your team

In view of the feedback received, OVH Télécom is perceived as a solution that can work well on a day-to-day basis when the configuration is stabilized and support responds quickly. Strengths cited include the attractive price, the intuitive web console, stability for certain profiles and rapid portability. Conversely, several reviews warned of support delays, recurring incidents and connection instability in certain situations.

  • Practical consequence if you have multiple sites: set up network supervision and a failover plan if one site suffers outages.
  • For a call center, this means validating support response times and escalation on critical incidents, as queues are sensitive to interruptions.
  • Consequence for CRM integration: the reviews don’t mention it. Test connectors before widespread deployment to avoid surprises.
  • Budgetary consequence: the perceived price is good, but the true cost includes the risk of downtime. Include the cost of a day’s downtime in your calculation.

 

Clearly, the reviews describe a service that can deliver correctly for many uses, but with a perceived variability in support responsiveness and network stability. This depends on your internal constraints, your degree of dependence on live calls, and your expectations regarding advanced control, which is still poorly documented in these testimonials.

Conclusion: should you choose OVH Télécom, or turn to another solution?

OVH Télécom is relevant for “classic” business telephony: professional VoIP with IVR/TTS, intuitive admin console, portability deemed fast and unlimited calls to 40 countries. Organizations sensitive to data localization will appreciate the RGPD sovereign infrastructure. A good option if your needs are stable and focused on switchboarding and call management.

On the other hand, be careful if your business doesn’t tolerate interruptions: notices of variable support and incidents, unpublished SLAs, no status page. To be avoided if you demand native CRM integrations, advanced KPIs, readable public tariffs or highly assisted onboarding.

In these cases, Kavkom ticks all the boxes: clear pricing from €10 excl. tax (unlimited FR/US/CA at €30), responsive human support and onboarding, native CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, Zendesk), plus predictive dialer and real-time supervision for productivity.
