    Chose Aircall
    Aircall is loads better than Grasshopper due to its ease of use and overall platform. Grasshopper is fine, but the price is about the same and Aircall is smoother (and prettier). The only disadvantage if moving from RingCentral to Aircall is the texting feature. Aircall does …

    RingCentral was more expensive and more limited in its application.

    Chose Aircall
    They had strong support, but their connectivity was the worst out of all of them and their product was also probably the least customizable for your company.

    Chose RingEX
    From the user perspective, JustCall and Aircall gave you the ability to listen to the recorded call. RingEX's taking notes feature is great, just not 100% accurate. Therefore, I would say having the ability to access the recording calls in the user interface can be very useful. …

    Aircall
    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.

    I love that RingEX lets you screen your call and take notes, then gives you a thorough review and summary that breaks down key points and flags what needs to be done. You get an email with the notes and summary, so you don't have to focus on anything but providing the customer with the summary and next steps. I think that helps with productivity.

    Pros
    Aircall
    • 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.

    • RingEX abilities to do multiple things at once, hands-free, is a huge time saver for me.
    • RingEX can record each word from beginning to end that may be part of a legal or written contract.
    • The amount of storage space that this program provides to my system is incredible.

    Cons
    Aircall
    • 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

    • Reporting and analytics can be limiting. There is a solid baseline of reporting, but the customization is not what you would get with a call center product.
    • There is a platform API, but it is not as expansive as I would like. There is no easy way to build integrations with third-party tools, unlike Genesys Cloud, which has Data Actions.
    • The digital/messaging side is not present - we can't stick a widget on our website and allow people to live chat with us.

    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 are grandfathered into our unlimited toll-free minutes plan. We are very unlikely to switch because of that. It has been the major factor saving us a lot of money compared to switching to other solutions. I don't know any other company that still offers these unlimited plans.

    Because it works great. In case there's a Wi-Fi issue, communication does not stop because the mobile app can be use with regular cell phone data. During one year + 3 months I've have the service, there's been only one time when there were issues on RingEX's side; however, the time of resolution was on the same day.

    Call-in support is fantastic. I have never called in and had it taken more than 30 minutes to resolve our issue. Email support is terrible. You will likely go 24+ hours until you hear back and the response is likely a canned one. I personally prefer the email or chat support option, but find myself calling instead because the email support experience is so poor.

    If someone has an existing system I tell them to keep that running initially and keep RingEX separate initially until the system is configured and tested to one's satisfaction. After testing and configuration is completed, then roll over the main phone numbers to the new RingEX system. I've seen one person who immediately flipped over to RingEX without properly configuring/testing the software and had many issues with missed customer calls until I helped him sort out his configuration.

    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.

    We are using these products like (Skype, Voip, TextNow, and Second line), but comparatively these products the RingEX has a good performance, because while we were using the other platform, we didn't get proper communication, we couldn't reach out the candidate, we lags to much into spam number, we couldn't communicate properly and the textnow we couldn't sigin sometime. When we start to use RingEX, we get much better productivity and proper communication with our clients.

    We have 75 users and 85 phones on the system and have yet to have any noticeable outages. The system just works all of the time without issues. Our old VOIP system on Voyant would go out all the time for multiple hours. RingEX is much more stable and reliable.

    Return on Investment
    Aircall
    • 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

    • Enhanced patient accountability, we can track all calls - incoming and outgoing - patients tend to state that they called and left a message, but they either never called or did not leave a message. With RingEX, we can track whether they really did. It saves us quite a bit of time and aggravation.
    • Faxing is more accurate and usually very quick. Because it's accurate, it saves us time with phone calls about faxes we never received and having to refax items. Also, faxing via the system instead of printing and scanning is a time-saver.
