Considered Both Products
Dialpad Connect
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
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
Compared to the competitors, Dialpad Connect seems to have good accuracy across various accents and languages, but I have not tested others extensively. Our company selected Dialpad Connect for its features, adaptability, and integration within our broader ecosystem
Chose Dialpad Connect
We selected dialpad as we thought it was a stronger product for our business but now we are not sure if we made the right decision
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad might not be the cheapest option, however, when it comes to reliability is top notch, other phone system providers may
offer a comprehensive suite of services unifying CRM, Chat and Phones. Where Dialpad excels is the adoption of Artificial Intelligence for several of …
Chose Dialpad Connect
While every service has its own unique features and others have tools that Dialpad Talk doesn't... the ease of use Dialpad Talk offers makes up for any flashy tool they don't have at this time
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Talk's mobile app and user interface are what sets it apart from competitors. The interface is beautiful, clean and simple both in the mobile and desktop apps. Many of it's competitors either 1) don't have a mobile app or 2) have a mobile app with poor / no SMS support …
Chose Dialpad Connect
We didn't really evaluate softphone options before using Dialpad Talk, we've mostly evaluated different products as we became more knowledgeable on how softphone systems work to compare our current system. We did evaluate VOIP systems and was looking into buying a lot of …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Talk has changed its pricing; however, it's still a good option against most VOIP services in my opinion. Google Voice lacks features. 8x8's app was was a little confusing. RingCentral and Vonage are pricey for small companies. I've tested other tools that seem to have …
RingCentral Contact Center
Chose RingCentral Contact Center
RingCentral Contact Center offered a lot more than the other systems that I have used. I cannot overemphasize that it has everything and does multiple things that most of its competitors do not. I think that it combines the features of those systems with Slack and even Google …

Dialpad
It is well-suited for basic calling functionality, but has been a poor experience for us when used for texting, as it lacks some of the features of other platforms, such as Haymarket. It is also challenging to capture good analytics, as this is neither easy nor clear for users to find.

RingCentral
The ease of use and file retention/retrieval is key. The adjustment from an e-mail-focused workflow to the RingCentral Contact Center was easier with the organization. Recall and search features mimic Outlook and allow me to quickly find what I’m looking for. RingCentral Contact Center is not ideal for communication with external partners, so we still have to rely on Outlook e-mails for that.

  • Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
  • Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
  • Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.

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.

  • I would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
  • I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
  • It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

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.

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

Usability
Dialpad
Dialpad Connect is good and recommended for any organization. It is a good value. It can accomplish everything that your organization is looking for, and no one will say it is outside the budget for any 50+ person organization. The AI feature is very useful. The dashboard could be a bit easier to manage, and the integration with Salesforce could be a bit smoother.

RingCentral Contact Center is not just only an app or platform which allows the company to manage the telephone calls, messaging functions, social media and emails, but also allows advanced features like the possibility of easy integration with other industrial systems, and customer/call analysis functions as well. It also supports and included with AI technology as well into some extent.

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
Dialpad
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~

Alternatives Considered
Dialpad
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 service is not great.

RingCentral Contact Center's application is much more intuitive than Nextiva's application. It's also easier to configure. It also has a lot of functionality that Nextiva does not. For example, RingCentral will transcribe Voice mail messages for us, whereas Nextiva does not. RingCentral also sends us notifications when a customer sends us a text message, whereas Nextiva does not.

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

Return on Investment
Dialpad
  • Saves me time with a downloadable transcript for call documentation.
  • All calls are automatically recorded, which provides proof of what was said.

  • With RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
  • Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
  • RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
