Kixie vs. Ring.io

Suited if you want to hear old calls. Not suited for teaching new SDR's how to talk or what a good call is and why. Kixie doesn't transcribe either.

If you normally operate strictly on outbound calls, this is a great resource as well as the call recording functionality. However, in terms of functionality for inbound calls, it is lacking. As I already mentioned, there is no mobile app option which hinders its accessibility to some of our team members.

• Kixie integrates seamlessly with our CRM (Zoho), meaning it updates call notes directly on the customer's CRM profile.
• The one-click dialing feature directly through our CRM is a great feature. It's so simple; just search for a name, one-click, and you are on the phone.
• The local presence feature is a nice touch for cold calls. It provides a local area code when cold calling to increase the likelihood of an answer to the call.

• Salesforce integration: allows users to track activities and create follow-up items if needed based on the nature of the call.
• Web-based calling: using a Chrome browser extension, callers do not have to leave the browser to make calls, drop voicemails, and work through a calling queue.
• Voice-mail recording: prepare voicemails in advance and drop the voicemails into voice mailboxes without repeatedly leaving the same message repeatedly.

• "Power Dialer" doesn't work all the time.
• Only records; doesn't give any type of analysis.
• Getting your account set up correctly can be confusing.

• Ring.io could do a better job with inbound calls - it frequently just shows the number, even if the person is in Salesforce.

Kixie integrated much better with our CRM (Zoho) than CrazyCall. In addition, Kixie had increased reporting features that CrazyCall did not offer--CrazyCall's reporting was limited and not detailed enough for our purposes. Lastly, at the time, CrazyCall did not have the inbound call services that Kixie offered. In fact, CrazyCall did not have any inbound services when we were using the software.

Simply said that for the functionality that we require and having the speed dialer option, it is maybe at the highest one-third of the cost. The only other thing I would add is the capability of Ring.io to modify the front GUI webphone to fit our needs.

• Negative- the "Power Dialer" doesn't load
• Negative- missed calls because not loading correctly
• Positive- can call anyone with a click of a button

• This is our first time using it
• We use this over InsideSales - which has been a great decision
