Aircall vs. Dialpad Sell

Aircall is a great fit for any SaaS organization for sales and support groups. Since I come from sales, I cannot talk about support, but for the sales team, it's a great help. It's intuitive and user-friendly. No need for formal training as it's very easy to access all the features you need. I particularly like the option of taking calls on my mobile phone while I am away from my desk or traveling, and also how I can easily manage my working hours and schedule. I also like its ability to interact with different CRMs and other useful tools like Slack, etc.

Well, There are numerous scenarios where a Dialpad can be very helpful in terms of communication tools. It allows the user to send text unlimited messages, making outbound calls, and review daily, weekly, monthly, or custom analytics. Saving n number of contact details, easy to search them on Dialpad. As of now, I did not come across any scenario where I can say Dialpad would not be suited.

• Aircall's integration with HubSpot is fantastic. I can call from anywhere in HubSpot and know that my call is logged automatically. During my call, I have easy access to a contact's record and can pull up any information I need in just the click of a button. The only limit I've found is that it doesn't (yet?) auto-log to tickets. This seems to be pretty common among other integrations so it wasn't seen as a con in our buying decision.
• I really like the Aircall dashboard and being able to customize who has access to what number. We even have the ability to give outbound calling privileges only to certain team members. It's also great that you can set up each individual number's answer tree to ring to the correct person.
• There's a lot of cool features that don't make sense for our particular business, but I think Aircall's metric tracking and coaching abilities would be really useful for a lot of teams. I remember in my first call hearing about a feature where a manager can listen in and "whisper" tips to a rep during a call that only the rep would be able to hear. I can see how this would add value in a coaching situation.

• Speed of the messages that are sent are excellent!
• The voicemail drop section so i dont have to resay the reason for the call to multiple clients with the same issue
• The saving of information so i dont have to retype everything over again

• No schedule for bank holidays
• No feature to update more than one phone line at the same time
• Admins don't have access to the timeline of a call to see with which agent it rang
• Missing agent-specific stats when your phone lines are organized in teams
• If calls are setup to ring to a first group and then a second, if the whole first group is already busy, it does not go to the second group but puts the customer on hold

Incentivized

• I would like it to be a tad bit more customizable
• I wish action list could be automatically added to notes on desktop
• I wish you could send follow up emails automatically after call right from Dialpad
• PhoneBurner feature for autocalling

I give this rating as aircall is very easy to use but also lacks a parallel dialing feature which makes it slower to use. aircall has a pretty seamless integration with salesforce which is helpful. For the cost it is definitely very reasonable but it also lacks a live coaching/listening feature which is very valuable as a manager.

We love using Dialpad and will continue to use it

I provide this rating based on my overall experience using Aircall. I have used it on my previous company as well and that being said, it is a proof that Aircall is a great tool to use in contact centers and with B2B businesses that has direct communication with clients.

Dialpad Sell is Very easy to use, whether at home or in the office dial pad has very sleek and easy to use features, all features are easy to find and are pretty self explanatory, the switch from regular phones to dial pad was a very easy and non stressful switch for our whole team

We've enjoyed using Aircall so far and have had no issues with it. The platform is easy to use, looks nice, and makes it easy to keep track of everything.

We used to answer phone calls on our fix line when at the office. The quality was very bad but we had in mind that a VOIP solution would be too expensive. When lockdown began last year, I had to redirect calls on my own mobile phone which was not efficient. Also I couldn't receive voicemails, have a history of calls or choose working hours.

I think that Skype for Business was a clunky system to use and didn't seem as up-to-date with their interface as Dialpad Sell does. I have found that Slack does a better job at communicating within the company, but Dialpad Sell is still the best system for external outreach.

• Because of the lack of local partnerships with South African telecoms companies, calls to South Africa is very expensive. This was not originally apparent when opening the Aircall account.
• Not having the option to display a local South African number in the CLIP, means that people are not always eager to pick up the phone when they see an overseas number ringing.
• The only positive impact has been the collaborative experience and being able to maintain a virtual office

• It has helped me to understand easily the different accents of people
• Dialpad has helped me to analyze my past calls and help me to grow
• It also shows the number of Csats and your team in real time which also creates a healthy competition
