Close CRM vs. Dialpad Ai Sales Center

Excellent software to increase sales and follow up with existing and new customers. Email and SMS handling are really easy for the sales team, managing leads is really great, and Close merges duplicate leads to help our Data Leads avoid repetitive and unnecessary calls. As mentioned in some comments before, must improve in reports, Close is not appropriate to handle or track agents' hours making it necessary to implement additional software to cover this area.

-I recommend Dialpad if you are in sales or Customer Service -Dialpad is great for any team or group as it does allow for not only individual feedback but great feedback and collaboration tools for a team -This is also a great tool for training and acclimating new employees -Overall, I believe Dialpad can be used in any industry

• Email sequences. Create and send a sequence of emails until the sequence finishes or the contact replies to your email. You can also pause the sequence manually.
• Email sync. Syncs in real time with your email account, which is huge.
• Zapier integration. We've automated a lot of our pipeline management through the Zapier integration. This saves us soooo much time.

• The transcript of Voice intelligence AI works good but can be improved
• When a recording is being played it doesn't sync well with the transcripts. Not a big issue but can be improved
• Sometimes I encountered Voice delay even when with good internet connection
• Rest everything seems fine. Dialpad has everything we need.

We love using Dialpad and will continue to use it

It's my favorite CRM to recommend to sales organizations. Robust Telephony options including a Power Dialer, SMS, and Voice Drop, are completely integrated into the CRM. The kicker is you can have "Unlimited" contacts where many platforms charge based on the number of users. This can make a huge difference in monthly billing.

I haven't really had the need to use their support, but the only time I had an issue with the platform, the Close team was very attentive and responded in a short span of time. Also they take minimal time to solve issues. The only con here is there is no way to reach out to them apart from email.

Pipedrive was great for us for a long time. We used it for over 4 years. Our product and process was simple. When things got more complex, we needed something that could handle our growing needs and Pipedrive kept falling short. We built our own custom solution in Airtable and though it worked, we spend a lot of time managing it. Close was able to solve all our issues and save us hours per week in admin work.

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.

• I have a better sense of the issues people are calling about since I can read along with the call and look out for potential widespread issues
