    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.

    For businesses requiring advanced email marketing features like sophisticated automation, in-depth analytics, and extensive customization, VerticalResponse might fall short due to its limited featuresVerticalResponse is ideal for small businesses or freelancers who need a simple, straightforward email marketing tool. Its ease of use and basic features make it suitable for those without extensive technical expertise in email marketing

    Pros
    RingCentral
    • 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.
    • Retrieving recorded calls!

    • I love the ease of list builder because we often times have a lot of data to import. It would be simply impossible without this tool, considering the amount of customer data we have for any one given email.
    • We really enjoy the ease of use of the HTML wizard as well. It helps even a novice be able to make a beautiful and attention grabbing email.
    • The dashboard is functional and easy to find when you need with a quick search.

    Cons
    RingCentral
    • Call back feature having some kind of info as to who I'm calling back.
    • Turn off the working feature after every call. I forgot to turn it back on, and then I'll be in the working state for 30 minutes later.
    • The messaging system is terrible and honestly non functional.

    • The type face is small. Not sure if this is to avoid overwhelming the reader, but I could see this being an issue with vision-impaired people or people who don't see small print well.
    • Sometimes I find it takes multiple clicks to make one simple change. I wish there was a search field at the top of the screen that allowed me to jump directly to a client's entry to update it there.

    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.

    Product is easy for both technical and non-technical people to use. A cost effective solution for sending out large number of messages. We can manage unsubscribes by individual accounts, so we can have multiple multiple accounts combined to maximize our buying power on credits. Effective API for sending/receiving data makes tool a valuable asset.

    Usability
    RingCentral
    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 truly love this product. We are moving to an all-in-one system next year and my greatest fear in doing so is how much I will miss this platform. Although we are excited for things ahead, I will always keep Vertical Response in my back pocket incase I don't love the new platform as much

    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.

    At Vertical Response the help desk associates are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell they enjoy what they do. And clearly, they are well trained because most times, the first point of contact is able to resolve any issue you may have. There have been very few times where an associate has needed to get back to me or escalate me to a supervisor

    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.

    In addition to using Vertical Response personally I also manage email marketing for clients that already use Mailchimp, Robly and Constant Contact. While most of these platforms all offer similar features I choose Vertical Response first if the client does not have a platform in place. Typically I am also teaching the client how to use this tool and the Vertical Response visual interface is very easy for me to teach a client how to navigate and create their own campaigns.

    • It helps to reduce expenses in the company since you unify all your means of communications in a single system.
    • I can measure our support effectiveness with various indicators, easily compiling them to give me insight into how to improve our processes

    • We were able to blast out promotions our company was having to customers which created an increase in business.
    • By blasting out any service issues, it keeps our customers informed so that they are not wondering what is going on.
    • Allows us to store unsubscribed emails so that we are not constantly pestering people who do not want to be emailed.
