Dialpad ConnectZoom Workplace
Considered Both Products
Dialpad Connect
Chose Dialpad Connect
We like the user friendliness of Dialpad Connect over Zoom, as it integrates with our CRM much easier. Also found the Ai portion of Dialpad was far superior in accuracy over Zoom, and the call summaries and transcripts are top notch and an absolute key feature that won us over.
Chose Dialpad Connect
We have not used other alternatives for this service. Dialpad works well for our needs and so far it is working for everyone now that we have figured out the synching issue mentioned earlier in this review. We do use Discord for internal calls and staff messages, but those …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Talk provides a more comprehensive user experience as it has more functions. However, Zoom has a simpler interface which I prefer when meeting with participants as other more complex functions are not needed for those meetings. However, I can see their purpose for a …
Chose Dialpad Connect
I use Zoom a lot. Started using Dialpad and wish the video was easy to use. I have to practice. I've also used Skype that is a similar product for calling. My perspective is to consider making the video a bit easier to use. My experience has been great with similar products …
Chose Dialpad Connect
With [an]other company [I] used RingCentral. They offered more features but at a high cost per line whereas Dialpad offers the features that are used on a daily basis at a competitive price.
Chose Dialpad Connect
I used Google Voice free service. It helped me, however, I was getting tired of using their web interface. Sometimes, the call quality suffered a lot. Also, their SMS and MMS services were not convenient enough.
I used RingCentral almost 10 years ago and was not too happy with …
Chose Dialpad Connect
It was hard to install and upgrade. We had to be supported by a tech company that charged for their support.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad has a unique capability that none of its competitors have, which is it lets you call the cell phones of people around the world. They have provided us with seamless calling, which allows us to be in touch with our clients irrespective of scheduling and sending out …
Chose Dialpad Connect
They are all pretty similar, however, Dialpad seems to have a tighter all-in-one solution with uber conference integrated in the desktop app and you can invite or launch meetings from there. I have not used the newer Zoom phone options or newest RingCentral meetings yet, but …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad provided better quality and better service. We were able to work directly with the company, and not have to go through an "agent." What's more, when we did have to speak to someone, it was a rep in the USA, not someone in a call center far away from where we are.
Chose Dialpad Connect
I started with the free version of Dialpad in my business so I didn’t have to put a commitment down like Skype or Google Voice in order to have my own number. Skypes’s connection is not always clear, Dialpad is perfect. All the time.
Chose Dialpad Connect
The number one standout for Dialpad is its ease of use. 30 minutes at most to configure. With the competition, you cannot even get done with the "introductory" phone call in that time.

The second standout is the price. The price per line provides a much better value.
Zoom Workplace
Chose Zoom Workplace
Quailty of Video and Audio on all three is very good. However, Zoom Workplace really shined with its AI features. RingCentral hadn't really rolled their AI out when we evaluated them and Dialpad did have AI features, but they really failed in some critical testing. Had the …
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom Workplace is the most utlizied video conferencing platform within our organization. We also use Microsoft Teams, Dialpad, and 8x8 but Zoom Workplace is probably the default for most people and most widely used.
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom Workspace has a more robust phone system than Dialpad. Dialpad's PBX does not allow routing to external numbers. I had to route to my personal account and set it to auto-forward to the external number. Zoom Workspace gives me the option of either forwarding to a queue, …
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is a much more user-friendly product than others we have used in the past. The user experience with Zoom was much better than our previous screen sharing, audio conferencing, and video conferencing products. Zoom is a very common tool that is also used by many of our …
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom has every feature they have and more. We selected Zoom because it was the best out there with good ease of use. Also, users know the name and they have a position view of it.

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.

The features of Zoom workplace is great but one thing they can work on if their costing I feel that's where people opt for other available tool in the market because those are cost effective where as zoom workplace fall on little higher range but even the features they have is really good like after a meeting is done their AI generates an automatic summary of what happened on call which becomes very handy to send MOM to the client.

  • Audio quality of phone calls is spot on. Calls are clear and crisp.
  • Video quality of video meetings are clear and there aren't any pixelization artifacts that some systems can have.
  • Having AI summaries have been life changing for us. We no longer have to concentrate on note taking, like we did in the past. The summaries are accurate and enable us to put our efforts in the meeting or conversation. Plus, we can save them into our practice management system as required.

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.

  • The new toolbars are not really an improvement over the old ones. Takes time getting used to ..should be in alphabetical order.
  • The chat from breakout rooms should be available separately.
  • it would be nice to be able to record the breakout room.
  • And have separate summaries.
  • Automatic sound from video.

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're sticking with Zoom for the foreseeable future--given its compelling feature set, ease of use, and advanced technology, there's just no other competition to be excited about. Plus it's a Gartner-recognized industry leader, so it's a rather easy choice.

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.

Zoom is made for the non tech office. It has features that can be made to do what you need to run things on a day to day basis. Immediately we we able to get meetings going with remote employees. The ability to be able to add smartphone connected people was a big plus. Zoom met our needs at the time.

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

There have been less than a handful of outages during our two years with Zoom, and whenever there was one, an email informing us of the outage went out immediately, and they had the issue resolved shortly thereafter.

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

Zoom has among the best performance of any video conference platform, as I've mentioned several times. Besides that, their Chat platform works great, and their back end always runs smooth. It's unfortunate that reporting can now only be done by one month at a time, but nonetheless, it only takes a second to run any kind of Zoom report, whether it's an attendee report, Poll results, a user report, a list of meetings from the past month, etc.

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~

Because I got a response right away, and was assigned one specific individual to work with me from the beginning to the resolution. I had an actual email address and direct contact with this person without having to start over and over every time I contacted Zoom - this singular individual remained attentive and was well informed on the subject matter and quite able to resolve my needs.

If you receive any pushback from higher ups, point to any of the various positive reviews like this one. Or show Zoom's excellent Gartner report, or articles describing Zoom's partnership with Sequoia capital. It's not difficult to show how Zoom is a trustworthy industry leader with best-in-class technology.

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.

Zoom Workplace is typically on the more expensive end against other options, but it's the industry leader for a reason. It has the most brand credibility by far, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. There are limitations when it comes to technical performance, customization and video/audio quality. I prefer Slack myself for communication apps, but Zoom Workplace is a good alternative.

The billing and price model is really fair for so many functions that they offer, our remote work requires each of the features that Zoom offers, so accepting payment for a tool like this is the least we can do.

Because the Basic licenses are completely free, and because it's very easy to configure and install Zoom, and because anyone can join Zoom from a link without needing an account, scaling is a Breeze. There are absolutely no roadblocks. My company keeps adding more Zoom Pro license every week since it's so in demand. We were able to convert users from several different platforms onto Zoom with no trouble at all.
