Likelihood to Recommend Exotel is well suited for: - Small and mid-sized Internet based businesses where it is necessary for them to have a very strong customer support team working round the clock and in different shifts. - Company making large number of calls and sending mass SMS's. They can do that on a single cloud based platform. Exotel might not be a good fit if: -it is not a call intensive business that you want to cater to. Though the setup cost is very low but it follows economies of scale i.e. more the number of calls, less will be per call cost.

Read full review From an accounting perspective, Invoca makes it easy for us to determine where our call revenue is coming from and what call type generated the paid call. Their dashboard is very user-friendly. I like how you can see everything from the top level and see total call volume, commission paid, and conversion rate. But you can easily drill down into each campaign level too. Lastly, you can easily create call campaigns and create individual phone numbers. I especially like how we're able to create a ring pool that allows us to track exactly where the call is coming from, and it's not difficult to setup.

It does lack the ability to speak with 3rd party software with Zapier In certain ways, too much functionality for basic campaign setup. They do not try to take a business development role with their users to help them grow their business. Read full review Support Rating Invoca's client success team is great to work with, which is a nice value proposition for their business (many SaaS providers struggle with this). Their support team is very talented and fully capable of addressing the vast majority of questions that they receive. I haven't encountered any negative experiences when requesting assistance.

Read full review Invoca is very user-friendly. It was easy to learn how to navigate and has a very user-friendly interface. It's hard to compare it against SaaS solutions like Five9 because their functions are different. Originally we selected Invoca because we were unaware of any SaaS solutions that accommodated all types of campaigns. We've found that now in
LeadsPedia , but have still found that many partners prefer going through Invoca, so we still use it. It's an excellent platform for partners to access.
Read full review Return on Investment This increased onboarding efficiency to save money on startup. This saved us money by getting both services from one company. Con was price was higher than we would have liked but efficiency made up for that. Read full review It is really useful to set a price you will pay for inbound calls, and let Invoca manage that tracking system. We were able to run campaigns that could not have run otherwise because we had the call tracking for those calls. Read full review ScreenShots
