Considered Both Products
Dialpad Connect
Chose Dialpad Connect
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 …
Chose Dialpad Connect
support and implementation, as well as sales presentation were very professional. we needed a simple system - the other competitors (Spectrum and local vendor 101Voice) did not seem to know our needs or have a good product.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Connect was able to provide the lowest cost option addressing all our business requirements
Chose Dialpad Connect
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 …
Chose Dialpad Connect
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.
Chose Dialpad Connect
While others always struggle with quality of calls and the transcription, in my experience, it is precisely where Dialpad Connect shines.
Chose Dialpad Connect
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).

Chose Dialpad Connect
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.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Vonage Business Communications, Nextiva, 8x8 Contact Center and GoTo Connect
Chose Dialpad Connect
For the smaller center, Dialpad is a good fit
Chose Dialpad Connect
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.
Chose Dialpad Connect
I'd say Dialpad was similarly priced but had more features. OpenPhone was the best in terms of usability.
Chose Dialpad Connect
It's more user friendly and private, i don't receive any unrelated messages from outside our work organization.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Panterra is dependable and has good support. Dialpad Connect has more features and an easier interface. AT&T has a lot of features, but Dialpad Connect's interface is easier. AT&T does not do call transcription that I know of. Comcast BVE and 8x8 services are lower quality and …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Been many years, as i was in previous job. Travel agency that worked like a call center. But its been 5 years on Dialpad and it functions for us as a call center. But has better options
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad checked all the boxes for us, from Integration capabilities to being a single pane of glass for both the admin and end user.

The other products were varied in what they offered vs what we were looking for. Some had features we liked, but didn't like the overall look or …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Connect more than holds its own against its competitors. It's pricing and support are very good. Additionally it's free trial offer is instrumental in demonstratingto a customer it's ability to pay for itself without concerning potential new clients with immediate and …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Zoom is a popular option, but not that easy to set up - not even close compared to Dialpad Ai Meetings!
Chose Dialpad Connect
Company decided on a service that was more inclusive then just using Zoom or something similar. Also we have had some bad experiences with Ring Central
Chose Dialpad Connect
More expensive, but way more functional
Chose Dialpad Connect
We canceled Slack for our internal communication and meetings
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Connect is very helpful for everyone. After switching to Orum, I feel that Orum better fits our business needs as it can serve as both a power and parallel dialer. The best part is the live coaching feature, where I can listen in on any calls in real-time to coach my …
GoTo Connect
Chose GoTo Connect
Honestly, tools like Zoom or Google Meet are fine if you just need basic video, but they completely ignore the actual phone side of things. I chose GoTo Connect because it handles everything at once. We finally ditched our clunky old phone provider and stopped paying for …
Chose GoTo Connect
Go to is the only VoIP system we have ever tested. Teams is just more widely used and preferred in the business world for meetings and screen sharing, and several of our customers and contacts send us meetings in Teams, so for that reason alone, it is our preferred product. For …
Chose GoTo Connect
We love the way it works with our sometimes work-from-home situations and the ease of setting up everything in the admin portal.
Chose GoTo Connect
N/A. GoTo is our first VOIP and we have not felt the need to look for alternative systems.
Chose GoTo Connect
Older telephony technology can be extremely difficult to understand and Admin. I can't say enough about the UI with GoTo as one does not need any IT experience to Administrate this tool.
Chose GoTo Connect
Some providers are very eager to catch a sale and not help you once you are locked in. I found with GoTo Connect the merchant support team to be very helpful and easy to get a hold of.
Chose GoTo Connect
Goto Connect is way better than ooma, mainly in customer service. Ooma, however, integrates with my CRM, and I miss that. I need for GTC to integrate with Vertafore's Agency Zoom platform
Chose GoTo Connect
It is very similar, but with even easier administration which allows administration with a smaller IT Team. One of the main reason we selected GoTo Connect was for its cost and feature packed admin panel.
Chose GoTo Connect
The customer service and interface are no Comparison. In my opinion, GoTo Connect is far better at cloud voice than Verizon
Chose GoTo Connect
Amazon Connect is way harder to configure and get working than GoTo Connect is to setup.
Chose GoTo Connect
Almost non comparable. Microsoft nickel and dimes you for licensing that is not overly clear. Any change to the teams phone system can take upwards of 48 hours sometimes leaving clients without a phone system for that time. No dialing through phone trees when on a conference …
Chose GoTo Connect
The admin interface in GoTo Connect feels much simpler and faster to configure. It offers right balance of reliability, clean UI, and flexibility.
Chose GoTo Connect
Much more affordable and has everything that we need.
Chose GoTo Connect
Go-To was the more cost-effective option between these. They also had the closest alignment to our goals and what we needed for our company without going overboard. We are happy with our decision and will continue to recommend Go-To.
Chose GoTo Connect
Goto seemed to be the best UI and easiest to manage users on the admin side. Easy to customize everything to meet individual needs.
Chose GoTo Connect
It work better and able to implement it faster.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect struck the right balance between functionality, simplicity, and cost.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect is a higher-quality product. It is easy to use and easy to integrate with our other systems. We have been looking into different programs (there are so many) and GoTo Connect has a more professional interface.
Chose GoTo Connect
You could evaluate Zoom phone or right by eight or RingCentral or Microsoft Teams with full capabilities those are all suitable alternatives. Make sure you understand the monthly service fees, and the cost for the telephones are needed for the service as they do very …
Chose GoTo Connect
Much more reasonable and equally reliable
Chose GoTo Connect
I just find it simpler easier to visualize the screen and nobody has any problem connecting. Unlike Teams which is tricky on mobile devices and many people are accessing the meetings from mobile devices.

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.

Go To is a great phone system that has made the transition from our old landline phone system to a VoIP product easy. Our users can customize their speed dial buttons; the dial plans are robust, so we can fully customize anything we need to; and, besides provisioning, setting up a new device is quick and easy.

Pros
  • I can make calls through the app & the caller ID shows my office line - I can toggle between the main business line and my direct line.
  • It keeps all of my voicemails & transcriptions in one place.
  • The desktop login allows me to access everything as well.
Read full review
  • Call reports: You can see and review calls received from the first receptor until the last who attend this call, also you can review all calls make and received by your teams
  • Voicemail options: Availability to create some voicemail with multiple receptors
  • Devices option: with several options to change on your devices
  • Audio library: Multiple option to create your own audio library with or without ambien music

Cons
  • The previous call window was way better to see full screen.
  • Having the call options down below makes it uncomfortable and users need to take more steps to do thing that used to take just a click or 2.
  • I would like to adjust the left side menu a little more

  • Making a dedicated button for "mute all" (other than yourself) for when someone "walks off before they mute"/has to quickly leave their computer....and FORGOT to Mute. Particularly when dogs are barking when someone working from home has a visitor at the door
  • I'd like to see some of the functionality from GoTo Webinar enabled for GoTo Connect: see who's "actively watching" vs has their computer screen on another application

As of now, the way this system allows us to call each other, text each other (inner office) as well as communicate with customers while being fully integrated with our CRM (Service Titan) has made everything so much easier for everyone. Thus far, I am super thrilled with the ease of use, integration and all the reasons we chose Dialpad Talk are working great
Read full review
They are knocking it out of the park on all fronts. I love the service and support I am receiving and have no complaints. If they raised their prices substantially I would reconsider but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. They would have to mess up something consistently moving forward to make me want to move

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.
Read full review
Overall, it's a decent product for the price. It has the basic features our company needed when it was brand new and was not overly difficult to set up. As we've grown, it's become increasingly difficult to build out the features we want to implement within the PBX, and customer support can be less than helpful. Many of the more advanced features (dial plans, queues, etc.) take a lot of research to understand how to implement. Some of the features we paid for weren't even available when we were attempting to set them up.

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
Read full review
I have never experienced or heard of unplanned outages when it comes to GoTo Connect. Most of the time the unplanned outage is always local power at a site or internet service provider having an unplanned outage. GoTo's service has never failed any of our orgs yet that I know of.

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
Read full review
There is no lag in phone calls. There is no background noise or static/fuzz. Calls are crystal clear. With other dialers and phone systems, I have experienced delays between dialogue or delays with the caller picking up the phone and then being able to hear you. We do not experience this with Go To Connect.

Support Rating
  1. Dialpad Onboarding support was okay. I think this was because we used a 3rd party vendor. We had a lot of issues with provisioning the phones.
  2. The Dialpad sales rep forgot to mention that Dialpad is only compatible with Polycom desk phones so we bad to purchase new phones last minute.
  3. We were supposed to get 3 months free when we signed up with Dialpad as a courtesy but the charged us for the 3rd month. They have resolved this error but I think there was no designated point of contact on Dialpad's end to help things move more smoothly.

Support used to be great when it was Jive support out of Utah. Now that they've offshored support it can be difficult to get a response. Our most common issues are least cost routing, and we run into support pushing back in stead of just figuring out which upstream carrier is having an issue like they used to. We often have to get our account manager involved, who is pretty strong.

Online Training
Simple and easy to follow, we had our branches around the country to be trained and the feedback was great. Only take if there was a desk phone training that would be great. The team provided us with video for the desk phone training
Read full review
The training videos could be more in-depth. This would help our user base so that they can feel impowered to look up information that they need without having to ask our admins every time they have a question about the system. Online training videos are also inferior to an actual person explaining systems.

Implementation Rating
I didn't participate in the implementation. But obviously it went flawlessly, as all users are set up in-house, and on the app.
Read full review
The implementation was incredibly easy and straightforward. I came into the project never having migrated and changed phone systems before, and the team at Go-To made it super easy to port all of our numbers and phone lines over to the new system. It was not intimidating, and all of my questions were answered promptly.

Honestly, tools like Zoom or Google Meet are fine if you just need basic video, but they completely ignore the actual phone side of things. I chose GoTo Connect because it handles everything at once. We finally ditched our clunky old phone provider and stopped paying for separate chat apps. Now my team manages client calls, texts, and meetings from one single screen. It just makes life so much easier.

Scalability
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
Read full review
Its not readily apparent to me, other than cost, where you would run into any issues with larger scale deployments. When we went live on the product, the Jive team was always willing to do mass updates for us on our extensions, users, etc. in the system, so we didn't have to do too much manual one-by-one updates.

Return on Investment
  • Allows us to reach the maximum amount of callers, at least 100
  • Worth the annual price of $180 to hold conferences with members
  • Access to the Dialpad system 24/7 to hold meetings
  • Abillity to share conference recordings to members/callers for follow-up
Read full review
  • Cost Savings have been realized from reducing hardware .
  • We are all able to collaborate remotely and it has been seamless and easy to setup.
  • I'm able to pull reports, i wish there was improvement on the data analysis side. It has gotten better since LogMeIn, but something is a miss and can be improved.
