Chili Piper vs. PhoneBurner

Chili Piper is GREAT for sales development teams booking for sales people. This is especially true when there is a "round robin" system that needs to be abided by. I've experienced a lot of bad round robin systems and Chili Piper's is fantastic. This is also a great tool to schedule with people across multiple time zones, which I don't want to have to focus on while speaking. It enables sales reps to focus on the prospect, not the time change. Chili piper would not be a good fit for underperforming sales teams that don't book any meetings (:

I like that you can dial out so many leads and double the efficiency of the agent. The only thing that bothers me is sometimes, system down issue.

• Chili Piper integrates with Salesforce very well which I haven't seen other calendar apps do yet.
• Meeting Buffer functionality assures that AEs won't be booked back-to back.
• I can send the link to each of my meeting templates for different prospects

• PhoneBurner connects to Hubspot so that my team doesn't have to go back and forth.
• The amount of time it takes to get through a list of calls has almost been cut in half.
• The opportunity to do leave a voicemail without having to leave it on each call is a huge time saver.

• They are continually improving their offering and we've seen great leaps over the past 2 years.
• Would be nice to be able to modify the email reminders for every single contact and event versus have set templates
• Faster load times, but we can’t complain too much!

• Could be a little better on the pricing.
• Could offer a better central administrative function.
• Could provide more updates to the app.

PhoneBurner as I said before, has an excellent graphical interface, super friendly, with menus that the user can easily find and program the calls. The layout is good, fast, and has little delay and errors. I really like the tool and from the beginning, I had no difficulty with the usability.

• Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
• They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

Every interaction I have had with any member of their support team has been pleasant. Issues are quickly addressed and their response time is excellent through the chat service.

Calendly was being used at the company by some other departments and still is to some extent. However adding Chili Piper fore the marketing and sales departments was a no brainer once we saw the demo. It's Calendly on steroids and the company is just getting started using it. I'm sure we will see even more benefits as the years go on.

We selected PhoneBurner because it is very easy to integrate with Zoho CRM and if you have a silver plan, you can do a lot such as Sending SMS and unlimited calling, you can also record and drop voicemail, timezone calling is automatic. It is a good dialer to use if you are part of sales.

• More demos held by simplifying the scheduling process. More demos = more opportunities
• Initial set up was frustrating and created a lot of mix up which allowed some leads to slip through the cracks early
• Integration with Salesforce.com saved our reps time because they didn't have to log activities manually

• [I believe] it has cost me a fortune in wasted time trying to make the Hubspot integration [work] (to no avail).
• [I believe] if the Hubspot integration actually worked, we would probably get decent ROI from the speedier calling.
