    GoTo was very expensive without the AI summaries or shared contact list that Dialpad has, and none of the meeting tools (at least not in Standard/Pro packages available without upgrades).

    Quo would have been my first choice because it had good AI summary features available and a …

    We have used Google Meet for some of our communication, but it does not have all of the features of Dialpad Connect. Dialpad Connect is much more of a phone system than Google Meet and while Google has nice video conferencing, it does not compare to the phone system that …

    While we appreciated the ability of OpenPhone to make calls and send texts, it ultimately lacked stability and frequently failed at the time we used it. This has not been an issue with Dialpad so far.

    While others always struggle with quality of calls and the transcription, in my experience, it is precisely where Dialpad Connect shines.

    Dialpad Connect was much easier to set up (Twilio's regulatory bundle approvals are inconsistent-- the documents I sent them using our account were rejected, but were approved using the same documents when I applied for a phone number from Close CRM's Twilio integration).

    I can't really tell you as I haven't tried a competitor, I'm not sure what others there really are. I guess it's better than Twilio but that's not an apples to apples comparison.

    My previous provider had bad call quality, calls would drop and my phone would randomly dial other numbers. All of these issues have been alleviated with Dialpad. It has been a great and useful service since I signed up.

    I like that it allows for a seamless transition of calls between our 2 offices. I don't have to forward or un-forward phones at the beginning and end of my day. Our offices are on a specific schedule which opens the phone lines at a certain time, transfers them to another office at another time, and then sends them to an after hours number when we close. I also like how easy it is to change settings within our different departments and contact centers. It's a very well-rounded program that is easy to use on your computer or phone.

    Cons
    Dialpad
    • The only example I can list for improvement is that occasionally the message has some mistranslation(s). But I can usually figure out the missing words. The 'southern USA' dialect may be partly to blame....
    • The functionality is really great. It is the best app I have used for messages in all of my customer service jobs.

    Dialpad Talk is easy to use and no one has had a problem using it. Even when we have had questions/problems we have been able to fix it ourselves without having to go to Dialpad to ask for help, which saves everyone time. We don't have any reason to cancel our use of this product and we are very happy with how it performs for our team.

    Usability

    Overall, it is quite user-friendly and quick to set up, even for beginner levels. It is also easy to onboard new hires and get them to take calls quickly. The main complaint is that the analytics are difficult to find, gather, and interpret.

    Reliability and Availability

    There have not been any outages that I am aware of and we have had consistently good coverage since the start. There can be a slight lag from the office to the mobile app, but it is not terribly noticeable and it has not resulted in any calls being prematurely hung up

    Performance

    The emails of voice transcription come very quickly after a call has been completed and except for a few fairly difficult names are pretty accurate. The ability to quickly listen to the voicemail from email without having to open the app is also a bonus. I have not noticed or heard of any slowdowns

    The original date for roll-out, was unable to happen because there was an issue finding our existing phone lines to port them... The only reason I gave a 9 is [that] the original person we have been working with, Rolled out phones. Pro without telling anyone and then went on vacation, I only say this to explain that there is a gentleman that took over to help us named Brett and he was FANTASTIC! He allowed a ton of calls and answered all of them, walked us [through] settings, profile set up, and even emailed screen shares so we could help other members of our team! Thanks so much, Brett you ROCK~

    So far, Dialpad has been a great improvement for our organization. It allows everyone to be on the same service and the integration with the mobile app means everyone is still using the "office" numbers even when on the go which makes it easier not having to balance multiple phone numbers from people

    • Saves me time with a downloadable transcript for call documentation.
    • All calls are automatically recorded, which provides proof of what was said.
    • Translation availability using IVR and AI language allows us to communicate with all families without needing to find a translator.
