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.

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.

I'd say Dialpad was similarly priced but had more features. OpenPhone was the best in terms of usability.

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
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 …

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 …

RingCentral does everything that Zoom does, but people tend to be more use to saying "I'll Zoom you" then mention RingCentral. A lot of companies use Teams for Calls, but it is in no way customizable like RingCentral is, and if I had to start my own business or sales team, we …

Chose RingCentral Contact Center
RingCentral Contact Center is the easiest to use and understand. Its interface is more accessible and visually appealing than Microsoft Teams. It has the social/enjoyable aspect with the integration of emojis and gifs, but not to the seemingly comical level of Slack.
Chose RingCentral Contact Center
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. …

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.

Call quality is strong for both video and audio calls. I do not have issues with that. I like the user interface and find navigation very easy. RingCentral provides an AI integration for meeting summaries, transcriptions, and meeting notes, which we use heavily. The texting feature is also a great bonus.

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.

  • They have an app so you do not miss any calls or messages from your customers or leads.
  • RingCentral has everything you need especially if you're working remotely. Therefore, you do not need to use other software.
  • They automatically transcribe the calls as well so if I miss something this normally helps.

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
Read full review
  • 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

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

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
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.

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
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

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.

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.

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

  • Abillity to share conference recordings to members/callers for follow-up

  • Elimination of downtime. Our previous provider (ShortTel/Mitel) had at least 2 major outages per year. It's been smooth sailing with the RingCentral Contact Center!
  • Our company has seen 10% + growth over the last few years since switching to the RingCentral Contact Center. I'm sure the improvements in our uptime/backend integration have contributed to that growth on the sales front.
  • We have been able to seamlessly add/remove seasonal staff as needed to better support our busy season demand. This has had an impact on our overall customer satisfaction.
