Dialpad Talk

I have been using Dialpad for over three years. The reliability and support have been excellent. We use messaging for interoffice communication. I like the way that contacts are seamlessly available from my Google Contacts. The desktop user interface and mobile device app are very intuitive. I would recommend Dialpad and have in the past.Dialpad is absolutely reliable and works great on mobile networks – It doesn’t affect the quality/connectivity of the call – it was truly a great idea from my company to provide us with it. Another feature that I truly enjoyed was to be able to keep my contacts organized so I always knew who was calling me and was able to find the right contacts to call, too!

  • There are limitations on the size and scope of the auto attendant so it is not recommended for companies who have more than 3 menu options.
  • Testing of functionality and keeping data clean for management does not exist (I have spent 100's of hours cleaning up professional services).
  • Great for corporate environments with high bandwidth locations, not so great on slow bandwidth (T1/DSL).
  • Fuze Portal does not allow deleting of multiple menu's, call flows, schedules, or ring groups so it is labor intensive to manage.
  • A lot of data can be extrapolated from Discover, but takes work learning how to use it.

Pros

Dialpad Talk

  • Dialpad's app is easy to use and helps convert a laptop or desktop PC to a phone
  • The Voice Intelligence (transcription) feature is unique at this price & comes in handy
  • The G-Suite sync allows us to see events, emails & Google Drive shared files while looking at a contact & their call history
  • You can choose what number (e.g. 'main' or 'direct') that you call out or text from
  • Web meeting/conferencing is built-in
  • When ever you plug in a headset (or unplug one) it asks before changing to this mic source
  • You can easily add a 3rd caller to a call when using a computer / softphone

  • Availability to use your work number anytime anywhere. Our recruiters make themselves available as much as they can. Being able to answer calls from their worklines while not in the office and make calls from their work numbers is a big deal.
  • Setting up new phones and numbers is very easy with their hub. I don't always have to go directly to their support team to setup new users. As long as I have the mac address of the phone and we have free numbers I can set a new user up in minutes.
  • Their support team is great as well. If I do need to get help with an issue their support team is quick to respond and very knowledgeable about their systems. Their team is also able to fix most support cases within the same day.

Cons

Dialpad Talk

  • Notifications- We would like to have more control on external devices about how notifications can be prioritized.
  • Groups- We would like to have more tools when creating groups of agents in Dialpad (tools that allow us to personalize it).
  • Moments- We would like to have more control about what Dialpad identifies as a "moment" during a call, so we can adjust few of them.
Jonatan Serna | TrustRadius Reviewer

Fuze

  • Android and iOS apps do not always handle disruptions from other phone activities well. Inbound phone calls and changes to Bluetooth connections (earpiece to car, for example) can foul up an ongoing meeting.
  • We would love the ability to easily move calls between devices -- Software to desk phone, desk phone to mobile client, etc. Fuze has made some improvements in this area, but there are still a couple of missing pieces.
  • The Fuze Meetings module is still a bit behind the major players like WebEx, Zoom, etc., in features and general usability.

1,000% will renew. For the price, for the features, for the support, for the implementation, for the ability to deploy to a new site, or a new company acquisitioned that has an older PBX, we can get them to Fuze with so little effort, dump the phones on their desk, and give them all the features and "WOW" that they would expect from a modern enterprise.

The Dialpad app is very user friendly. It took very little time for even our most technically-challenged users to adopt it. Dialpad is also constantly upgrading their software so that functionality is gained. User adoption was really amazing. All it took was just making a few outbound calls and a few short videos to train our people.

You have to rely on the Fuze app. Fuze needs to be able to work seamlessly in Salesforce to be able to compete with other vendors. Basically, they are great for UcaaS but less than desirable for CCaaS. It's like they are 20 years behind. Overall, Fuze is very easy to use and to get up and running. Not the best solution if you have multiple teams with complex IVRs

Because the people who designed Fuze were Data-center people, they thought of availability first, there really isn't any excuse for telephony downtime, and they certainly do well with this. There has never been a total outage, just a few features sometimes have been offline while Fuze moves the service to other servers, NEVER calling, sometimes chat or physical phones (which can be fixed by rebooting them). The uptime on the Fuze systems is basically: Always up, always available.

Since Fuze runs across multiple devices and platforms they really strived to make a lightweight interface that is optimized for phone calls, chat, and collaboration. The web client loads fast, the chat is always up-to-date, phone calls arrive on-time. The desktop client is the most feature rich and basically it just adds desktop sharing functionality as well as VoIP for calling, and the mobile client doesn't consume a lot of battery, and it stays running to get phone calls, chats, and can do meetings over Wifi, Cellular Data, or Cellular voice.

  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.

I think it is improving but as I said previously there is a stress on the billing side of the business which gives a perhaps unfairly poor impression of support. The recent interaction that I have had with Support is definitely better and from my experience as good as it has been.

At many of our sites with more than 50 users, Fuze sent someone onsite to train. This worked surprisingly well, as the trainer allowed the users to set the pace and answered TONS of questions. Fuze has a very streamlined training process, their staff is very professional, very knowledgeable and very engaging.

Fuze has vast amounts of training videos and guides on how to use its products and services. There are literally endless-hours of training and I often point end-users to a particular video which addresses the specific needs of the user, for example: how to check voicemail. Or, how to share your desktop, etc.

I am very well satisfied with the Fuze implementation at our company. It is really easy to set up. It's a straight up process and requires very minimal oversight. I will also like to say that the implementation was fairly quick. Also the UI is very easy to go around. You can easily find any feature in particular that you were searching for.

Alternatives Considered

Dialpad Talk

We previously used an NEC Voice over IP system. Dialpad Talk is much easier to program and on/off schedule for holidays and weather closings. Also, the previous phone system could only be used while staff is at their office. Dialpad can be used anywhere and programmed from anywhere.

Post deployment we're currently reviewing the other unified communications solutions as Fuze is expensive per user when compared to other options available. Fuze has an advantage due to its PBX capabilities however licensing for non-PBX users is considerably higher then other vendors.

Fuze does have scalability limits but most of that is how many end-points they can put on a virtual PBX, or VCX as they call them, I THINK its limit is somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000, but we've not had issues with that because we have put users into various VCXs some by location, some by department or function. Either way, we have 7,000 currently deployed, and are going to end up with over 15,000 when we are done, Fuze is VERY scalable.

Return on Investment

Dialpad Talk

  • Dialpad is a relatively cheap and easy way to spin up a business phone number. For that, I think it had an overall positive effect on the company because it gave a decent alternative to going deep into landline business solutions (which are expensive and complicated).
  • Dialpad had a negative effect on my business because when I traveled or was OOO (which is sometimes frequently), I had to use my personal number to call anyone. It muddled the line between personal and work and created some disorganization in my process.
Scott Entwistle | TrustRadius Reviewer

Fuze

  • We receive constant negative feedback from mangers about the system not functioning correctly. (This is mainly due to lack of support from Fuze)
  • This has had a positive impact in that the system is cheaper and we are missing less calls due to the functionality of the system.
