RingCX, based on the former Dimelo, is an AI customer interaction tool built to power digital customer engagement.
DotDigital has a drag-and-drop email builder and many good templates. Using automation, I was able to send out emails with ease. During the onboarding process, you will also be able to speak with real people. We use it to create modern and engaging emails for customers, whether abandoned cart or post-purchase. It has excellent reporting modules, but it lacks a few fundamentals, which can be frustrating. As a whole, the partnership has been a success so far.
RingCX solved a lot of problems we had as an organization. Being able to have easy tracking, easily managing call queues, setting up call rotations, and more is really awesome. The app is also very user friendly and we all appreciate how great the integration with Salesforce. If I had to make any complaint, or note where they could improve is turning off the call queue via a better calendar integration (Eg: if I am in a meeting automatically turning off call queues). We mainly use RingCX for troubleshooting/support calls and it's so easy to log and track (for accountability) in Salesforce.
Reporting. The analytics and reporting is very detailed and customizable.
Call Queues. We have the option of having all phones ring at once, in a certain order or the person who has been idle the longest. This helps spread the work amongst the departments.
When I put my Mac in Do Not Disturb, it would be nice if RingCX could also go into DND via the desktop app. Unless I turn off the call queue, it'll ring even in DND.
Better calendar integrations and the ability to turn off the call queue accordingly. If I am in a meeting I don't want my phone to ring. Currently, we have to make sure we turn off our call queue manually before each call. Not a huge deal, but would be nice to have better calendar integrations (at least with G-Suite.)
More online tools and resources. The issues above may already have a solution, but I don't know where to find it and I've looked.
Currently most of our needs are being met, although the WhatsApp solution is weak and does not allow for calls and coexistance, the rest of solutions for Webchat, Social Media, and calls are meeting our needs. The other missing element is simultaneous ringing, but we have been ablet to configure priorities which we didn't have before.
DotDigital is not difficult to use, however, the user interface could use some optimization. There are certain elements that can be challenging to find, and the menus are not always intuitive. However, the tool makes up for that with easy to use features, like creating segments, and allowing many rules to specify these particular groups.
The reason I gave this rating was I would like to see global rules created for say holidays. Currently I have to create 37 individual custom rules for say Memorial day. Which is quite cumbersome. Or maybe a template that could we could make a copy. A copy feature would also be handy.
I rated them an 8 because their support team is highly responsive and reliable. Whenever we need to reach out with a problem, they are quick to respond and do an excellent job of keeping the ticket updated. I really appreciate that they make sure to keep us posted throughout the entire troubleshooting process, so we are never left in the dark wondering what is going on. Most importantly, they consistently resolve our issues in a timely manner, which is crucial for minimizing downtime and keeping our daily operations running smoothly.
DotDigital's platform is simple to use for essential email marketing campaigns. Setting up Programs (action-driven automation) is simple. It gives you the ability to design stunning campaigns with a wide range of customizability. To better understand our customer base, it analyzes each email sent out. In every situation, the support team has been responsive and helpful.
There are far more features in the RingCX platform than in our exploration of the other platforms. Additionally we utlized another service that had stability issues along with higher costs for overall local phone services that we were able to consolidate when we made the switch to RingCX along with 3rd party services to handle various Omnichannels that were all avaiable in the RingCX platform.
