Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
The main advantage is being able to seamlessly mimic a regular cell phone, which Google Hangouts does not provide. Skype also is geared more toward VoIP/remote meetings and not the call/text functionality that is our main need for this type of product. The simplicity of the …
I have used a Cisco phone system at a prior company, but I have no idea what product type exactly. It wasn't as easy to use and was not integrated into user experience as Dialpad. That was also 6 years ago, so I'm sure the technology has greatly improved since then, but I much …
Integration and ability to click to dial. Cost was the biggest reason. Google Voice wasn't robust enough for us, but Grasshopper was getting too pricey.
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.
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.
Imagine you are un a meeting and you need to focus on the topic and don't want to miss a thing but taking notes distracts You. Dialpad can do that for you. No matter who contacted a client and how, You will be able to keep track of all communication to the same person in one perfectly organized thread If needed some Quality control, recordings are available.
Had I completed this review a couple years ago, I would have given a rating of 9 or 10 as Hangouts (Classic) is an excellent product. However, now that Google Chat has succeeded Hangouts, I would not recommend that any new users begin using it where other more modern options are available. Android users who want an internet based instant messaging that also supports calling and video calling could benefit from using Hangouts (Classic) as Google Chat requires the user to also have Google Meet installed to make video calls and there is no voice only calling option.
lots of quirks.. seems to be a lot of random problems that aren't addressed quickly enough
Notify users of outages and let them know when outages are repairs
simplify the way that numbers/ offices/ departments and individual users is done. I have been using the service for about 2 years and still dont understand the difference
I would like to see improved video support, so that saved videos can be sent back and forth via Hangouts more easily, without having to start a separate meet chat
More pronounced notifications of messages would be helpful; pop up notifications are good, but once there is one, additional messages do not pop up
Custom muting times would be great, so that if I am in a 90 minute Zoom meeting, I can set it for that time; right now, it is 1 hour or 2 hours. Easy to forget.
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.
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.
The tool is almost self-implemented. It is likely to be available in every pc or mobile device a user or potential user might have, and all you need to do is adding the company's account and you are done. Once you are setted up, you have almost all actual communication methods available in one tool
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~
Google Hangouts works great and does not require a lot of work to troubleshoot. Everything is simple and easy to use. Google provides all of the tools that one requires to utilize Google Hangouts and any information can be found in the built-in help tools. There is also a forum for users to report issues and typically, Google responds well and will try to work out any issues.
Dialpad Ai Contact Center gives you everything you need in a single communications platform. This is one big difference between Dialpad and Zoiper—beyond voice calls, you also get video calling and team messaging along with essential contact center features like IVR routing and a sales dialer. The connection isn't always the greatest and there seems to be some lag time when speaking.
Google is the white cotton socks of the conferencing world. It’s a great ad-hoc tool, but not too much more. If you are not looking to spend money or operate completely on WiFi (without data charges), it’s a great free option as well. The benefit of being free and open is also the liability. It doesn’t have a great integration story with other corporate tools, but [it doesn’t have to] if you aren’t looking for that. All in all, it’s as helpful and ubiquitous as a public payphone…without the pay…and with a video capability.
I believe it was part of the google suite that was purchased. It was worth the cost as it was cheaper. I believe it is now free, but also becoming deprecated. It is much better to use Teams, Discord, Telegram, etc. Google does not provide enough support or features to make using hangouts worth it these days.
