Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review If you normally operate strictly on outbound calls, this is a great resource as well as the call recording functionality. However, in terms of functionality for inbound calls, it is lacking. As I already mentioned, there is no mobile app option which hinders its accessibility to some of our team members.
Read full review Pros 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.

Web-based calling: using a Chrome browser extension, callers do not have to leave the browser to make calls, drop voicemails, and work through a calling queue. Voice-mail recording: prepare voicemails in advance and drop the voicemails into voice mailboxes without repeatedly leaving the same message repeatedly.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Simply said that for the functionality that we require and having the speed dialer option, it is maybe at the highest one-third of the cost. The only other thing I would add is the capability of Ring.io to modify the front GUI webphone to fit our needs.
Read full review Return on Investment 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 Read full review This is our first time using it We use this over InsideSales - which has been a great decision Read full review ScreenShots
