Considered Both Products
Aircall
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 …
Chose Aircall
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 …
Chose Aircall
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 …
Chose Aircall
Have to buy minutes on other services
Chose Aircall
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 …
Chose Aircall
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
It is the first product that we have used. We have not evaluated another option.It is the first product that we have used. We have not evaluated another option.It is the first product that we have used. We have not evaluated another option.It is the first product that we have …
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.
CloudTalk
Chose CloudTalk
We were recommended CloudTalk basically from everybody in our network so we reached out directly to them at first and since they had everything we were looking for, feature-wise, and also were in our budget, we didn't really consider other vendors on the market. The …
Chose CloudTalk
There were several services suitable for our needs. CloudTalk was chosen because of its simplicity, complexity, and brief time needed to use this service. No broad technical knowledge is required to start and operate CloudTalk.
Chose CloudTalk
Better value for the money (by far). And besides that, all the features we needed, CloudTalk has them. Shoutout to their support for answering all the questions we had and to their CSM team for giving us a quick demo on the same day when we requested it. Recommended solution!
Chose CloudTalk
Cloudtalk is well-priced for what we need from it. The fact that it has many features that we plan to use in the future is a deciding factor, and that gives it a big advantage. So the biggest impact was the comprehensiveness of the solution and the integration with the CRM.
Chose CloudTalk
We tried dealing with Aircall, but their solution didn't seem so flexible and the initial adoption cost was way out of our context. We learned later that the solution was in fact more flexible than we thought, but were disappointed by the little quality of their before-sales …
Chose CloudTalk
So much better, much cleaner design. Much less complicated setup process. Has a much more up-to-date program. You can use the browser version or the stand-alone app, both are far more fleshed-out pieces of software. It is also much more reliable, haven't had the app crash even …
Chose CloudTalk
CloudTalk is a lot more intuitive and provides more features and analytics than 3CX. The fact it allows for integration as well means we can stay on top of all of our missed calls and know exactly what client rang linking them to their company account.
Chose CloudTalk
RingCentral has major issues syncing in real-time. The Web app and the desktop app never showed the same numbers. Often I'd have to wait hours for reports to update and then still had no confidence in the information presented.
Chose CloudTalk
CloudTalk is significantly more affordable, easy to setup and the trial month was very helpful to ensure it was what we needed. AirCall can probably do a lot more but I cannot tell you what and I don't believe we need more as we are not a complex business that needs multiple …
Chose CloudTalk
The pricing is more interesting and the fact they have a product easy to use with integrations with both our Sales and Support CRM's made us chose them. We were also told that a lot of the features we needed would be implemented in the soon future so let's see if it happens.
Chose CloudTalk
I have been using WhatsApp quite often for private and sometimes professional usage and in the past Skype and ICQ. WhatsApp is for free but I would say that CloudTalk provides a higher quality while talking so if I should choose between them for messages is WhatsApp very easy …
Chose CloudTalk
The first thing is cost. CloudTalk was a lot cheaper than others. The other thing I noticed is that there were a lot of unwanted or unnecessary features with the other ones that didn't really matter to us, but were more [than] able to ask a higher price per seat. However, the …
Chose CloudTalk
We used local VOIP provider, but it was slow, manual-based and expensive solution.
Chose CloudTalk
It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.
Chose CloudTalk
The integration of CloudTalk with Pipedrive makes the native Pipedrive call system practically unnecessary. The latter does not allow searching for calls or generating indicators as well achieved as in CloudTalk.

Chose CloudTalk
Before CloudTalk, we used Pipedrive. It also works really well, but it does not have the option of analytics. You could not check things like how many calls were made during the day or a specific time period. That, for me, is the most valuable feature of CloudTalk--all the data …
Chose CloudTalk
It's the perfect complement to the other services we use as it permits us to get in contact with our clients in order to not only have good communication inside of the company but also outside the company with our clients. It really rounds up the whole package. It's just the …
Chose CloudTalk
CloudTalk service is immediately available once a profile is created and payment is made. Five9 indicated it would take up to 2 weeks to have full access to the service.
Chose CloudTalk
Though it was not my decision from switching from Circleloop, when we had originally used CircleLoop it gave some issues with internal transfer and taking calls which heavily affected us. With CloudTalk we can now successfully make outbound calls without any problems.
Chose CloudTalk
CloudTalk has a better value for the money spent and has been easier to set up than other peers in that regards as well as better overall integration with already existing Software that we have been using for years in our company. At the end, the communication with CloudTalk …
Chose CloudTalk
CloudTalk is much more configurable. It is very easy to send proactive SMS messages with CloudTalk whilst with Zendesk Talk this can only be done through a workaround. Zendesk does not provide Chinese virtual numbers either and outbound calls were not working to Chinese numbers …

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!

Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.

  • Aircall is very customizable. You are able to set certain ringtones, play audio through computer and headset, as well as make it your own.

  • Very easy to setup and configure. It took literally a few minutes to start making our first calls.
  • Integrates with many CRM systems. We've connected with Zendesk for calls and texts to generate tickets automatically.
  • Great selection of virtual numbers for international calls.
  • Great customer support team with quick replies.
  • Call quality is generally good, especially for the price.

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
Read full review
  • A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one.
  • Desktop app has had some instability issue.
  • IVR needs to be self-recorded which can lead to a lower quality.

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.

Usability
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.

CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work.

They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

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
Read full review
  • With helping us gain a US number, it's made us able to call candidates and clients which we've completed multiple deals
  • Being able to integrate CloudTalk with Salesforce, saves us a lot of time typing in numbers individually in which we can make more calls
