Considered Both Products
Dialpad Ai Voice
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
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 Ai Voice
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 Ai Voice
We used Nextiva for several years as our main VoIP Phone solution. The system was reliable but the software is nowhere near as user friendly.. It is night and day and is the main reason we switched. You need a degree in Nextiva's platform to be able to make changes to your call …
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
Dialpad has way more services and the chat-to-text feature so we can reread anything that was misconstrued is a great feature. The connection with Nextiva wasn't reliable and the service was more expensive. Also Dialpad's customer service is so much better, they are so quick to …
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
Nextiva was much more confusing and more expensive. IT was nearly impossible for me to make changes to my account or auto attendant. When I saw Dialpad had a more user friendly interface, I switched immediately. We are very glad that we did. Nextiva has been around longer, …
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
They never kick my employees off duty for missing a call, therefore they dont miss anymore for going off duty accidentally. Users have different issues that Dialpad Talk support has not been able to resolve
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
Lower price and fewer glitches, better features, and more user friendly. I used to have another company that took hours to get someone on the phone for support. With Dialpad Talk, I have someone in an instant and they are very helpful. Never once had any glitches, unlike other …
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. You need an inhouse IT department to manage Nextiva. HORRIBLE customer service, HORRIBLE quality in the audio and video service. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
At the time (over 3 years ago) Dialpad was the only cloud-based VOIP vendor that offered this wealth of features, modern design, and highly active change log. Now that other vendors have caught up there's less and less reason to use Dialpad so I can no longer recommend it to …
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
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.
Nextiva Business Phone Service
Chose Nextiva Business Phone Service
Nextiva was able to price match us and provide the best customer service for technical setup. Nextiva also stacked up well in terms of service quality and sales responsiveness.
Chose Nextiva Business Phone Service
Among all of the other PBX solutions I've ever worked with, Nextiva is by far the easiest and most efficient to install, implement, and service. The tech support and onboarding teams are amazing as well. I hold certifications on over 10 PBX systems, but this one is the best …
Chose Nextiva Business Phone Service
I was amazed because we are using a virtual phone to call and message our patients and clients.

We have had great service with Nextiva Business Phone Service and it is reliable and reasonably priced for the offered features. User Friendly and minimal issues. We are able to control most of the set up for new users and or new phones when needed. Only would like to see the app - Nextiva One be enhanced with more features than it currently has.

  • It keeps all of my voicemails & transcriptions in one place.
  • The desktop login allows me to access everything as well.

  • Up-time, We've never had any sort of extended downtime because of Nextiva Business Phone Service, there services just work
  • Provisioning of supported devices is very easy to do and is almost automatic, this makes new device roll out especially smooth
  • The call flow functionality is especially smooth and intuitive to setup.
  • Their customer service is very effective and I've never waited more than 2 days for a solution, that's for more complicated issues too.

Cons
Dialpad
  • 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

Nextiva
  • The use of two apps when you're a supervisor. We have to use Unity and the Nextiva app instead of one app. It can be cumbersome.
  • Better integration with CRM's. We use Zendesk and it works ok as it does pull up customer records if we have their phone number on file. But it would be better if we could have more functionality from one place and have it write to the CRM directly.
  • Accept higher quality audio for greeting recordings. We had to trim the file size down several times losing a lot of audio quality in the process. Mono is fine since callers will only need to hear the one channel. But the Hz limit and file size limit were rough.

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.

Its user friendly, easy to use and has been very reliable. We have nothing but good things to say about our service with Nextiva Business Phone Service. When needed their support team has always resolved any and all issues one way or another. They have been helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. The features vs the cost is wonderful compared to other service providers.

Usability
Dialpad
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.

Nextiva Business Phone Service system is very usable. We have desk phones, that were included at no cost. The function just as one would expect from an office phone system. I can also answer my calls from my PC and even on my cell phone if I have to leave the office.

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~

Support is great. We usually get someone on the phone; they answer our questions and help us with our issues. They are responsive when we call, and there is also a wealth of information on their online help center, which will typically answer our question or send us in the right direction.

No was done by Agency Owner and was done with the help of Nextiva Support and Sales team. Went very well and has been working great since then.

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.

We switched for better uptime, ease of use, and better tech support and got all that from Nextiva. We were constantly losing connection with our previous provider, a package service for internet and phone. The web portal is much easier to use, and the call center offers many more features.

  • ROI - we are saving money, a lot of money, and we have a MUCH better phone system
  • Consolidation - we migrated 6 different phone systems in 6 different counties into one, and it's been wonderful!
  • Management - managing this system is so much better than Mitel, Panasonic, and any other system I have used. We are able to assign rights to certain staff to also make changes, and it's user friendly and almost fool proof.
