Chose Aircall
Aircall’s integration to our CRM, salesforce is second to none. Right after a call is made it is uploaded into salesforce right away and is a great way for our reps to reference back on.

dialpad was far more of a struggle to access call recordings for my reps as not only was …

Aircall is a little different from Intercom in that it is specifically for phone and text BUT Intercom just released phone calls and texting options.....
Chose Aircall
Aircall has a better interface and IVR system then Groove. It also does a much better job integrating with our CRM (Salesforce) and pulling caller IDs from our database vs Groove. I prefer Aircall over Groove and HubSpot, primarily becasue we are a smaller organization and it …

I am not the right person to answer this because I don't make the purchase decisions within our company. I have worked with several companies, and every one of them has their tools. I particularly liked Aircall among all of them because of the different reasons I have already …
Chose Aircall
We have used Aircall for so long that I cannot remember the name of the company we were using beforehand. I remember that we did make the switch to Aircall because the connection was stronger. We often had call quality issues with the other guys. While this does occur every now …
Chose Aircall
Aircall is loads better than Grasshopper due to its ease of use and overall platform. Grasshopper is fine, but the price is about the same and Aircall is smoother (and prettier). The only disadvantage if moving from RingCentral to Aircall is the texting feature. Aircall does …

Aircall is more efficient, syncs the information properly and is overall better, cleaner system.
Chose Aircall
Zendesk could not help us expand our numbers abroad due to too restrictive regulations applied. Aircall however, if provided with appropriate documents, allowed us to keep existing phone numbers and expand them
Chose Aircall
We used to answer phone calls on our fix line when at the office. The quality was very bad but we had in mind that a VOIP solution would be too expensive. When lockdown began last year, I had to redirect calls on my own mobile phone which was not efficient. Also I couldn't …
Chose Aircall
Groove was easily integrated with Salesforce CRM and meant that certain administrative tasks were a lot easier and less time consuming to do. The standalone dialer application (Windows) is easier to use than the Groove dialer, and uses far less resources. The addition of …

The only thing that is better than Aircall against Google Meets, is that Google meets has a camera option. However, that is not applicable for speaking to customers, but rather team mates.
Chose Aircall
In researching products, we decided on Aircall due to the pricing, features and service provided by the company

Chose Aircall
We selected Aircall only because it has integration with our CRM tool, PipeDrive, and I think that was a wise decision.
Chose Aircall
We previously used Grasshopper. It was cumbersome and the web option was not user-friendly. It did incorporate texting but would not integrate with our CRM so we switched to Aircall. Aircall's interface is nicer to use and we are happy with the switch.
Chose Aircall
They had strong support, but their connectivity was the worst out of all of them and their product was also probably the least customizable for your company.
Chose Aircall
Aircall is a more smooth and easy to use against other tools that are out in the market today. This is the tool I used for two different companies and by just that it proves how effective and good Aircall is. I love the functions and how user friendly it is.

EZ Texting... it's fine but more expensive. They do the same thing.

We also use CallRail in our agency but find that most of our needs are met by CallFire for less money.

Previously we used Vitelity, but its tracking capabilities are more limited.

We considered Trello before deciding on CallFire. Trello is a good service that seems to do much of what CallFire does, however we wanted to avoid the labor-hours necessary to get Trello up to speed, as it is very technically involved. We didn't want to hire any additional …
Chose CallFire
CallFire has a pricing structure that is attractive to us as a small business. The "pay as you use" options helps us keep our overhead low, especially with so many softwares already in our tech stack. It's a tremendous value for the cost!
Chose CallFire
I have not personally used any similar products.

CallFire has adapted and changed internally ever since I [have] used it. It is has become, quicker, cleaner and much easier to use. I haven't used any other systems, however I thoroughly enjoy the efficiency and ease to build custom campaigns in minutes. I highly recommend …

I haven't used any other products, but I am so pleased with CallFire that I will continue using this program.

Aircall is great for anyone who has multiple team members calling from the same number or a team that needs to call from many different numbers. The way Aircall allows users to organize people and numbers is extremely customizable and efficient. I think just about any business could benefit from using Aircall and highly recommend it!

If you need to find a test candidate for your client quickly, this is one of the best ways. Pull yourself a hot list of a couple hundred potential candidates and load them in to CallFire. Then get ready to hit about 50-60 calls per hour. You should have a great test candidate for your client in about 24 hours! It's amazing how quickly you can show your clients the true speed of your company.

Cons
  • No schedule for bank holidays
  • No feature to update more than one phone line at the same time
  • Admins don't have access to the timeline of a call to see with which agent it rang
  • Missing agent-specific stats when your phone lines are organized in teams
  • If calls are setup to ring to a first group and then a second, if the whole first group is already busy, it does not go to the second group but puts the customer on hold

  • The services are easy to use and robust, but there is room for improvement. Unfortunately, not much has changed over the last 2 years of use. There haven't been any new features or innovations in that time.
  • API integration and automation is not easy for most folks to jump into and there is very little technical support or documentation to take advantage of such features.
  • The standard reports are generally sufficient, but there isn't any customization or intelligence available.

I give this rating as aircall is very easy to use but also lacks a parallel dialing feature which makes it slower to use. aircall has a pretty seamless integration with salesforce which is helpful. For the cost it is definitely very reasonable but it also lacks a live coaching/listening feature which is very valuable as a manager.

I provide this rating based on my overall experience using Aircall. I have used it on my previous company as well and that being said, it is a proof that Aircall is a great tool to use in contact centers and with B2B businesses that has direct communication with clients.

We considered Trello before deciding on CallFire. Trello is a good service that seems to do much of what CallFire does, however we wanted to avoid the labor-hours necessary to get Trello up to speed, as it is very technically involved. We didn't want to hire any additional developers just to get Trello set up and maintained. With CallFire, it was very intuitive and easy to setup quickly.

Return on Investment
  • Because of the lack of local partnerships with South African telecoms companies, calls to South Africa is very expensive. This was not originally apparent when opening the Aircall account.
  • Not having the option to display a local South African number in the CLIP, means that people are not always eager to pick up the phone when they see an overseas number ringing.
  • The only positive impact has been the collaborative experience and being able to maintain a virtual office

  • I sent out a broadcast message pretty deep in our data base, well three years out. I had one customer come in and buy thanking me for contacting her.
  • Our holiday season was up 35% over last year, this year we used CallFire more than we did in the past.
