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.
NiCE CXone Mpower
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Pros of NICE when compared to Verint:
1. Better options to manage leaves, schedules and update employee settings, line of businesses etc
2. The managers and supervisors have more powers in terms of scheduling, updating leaves, adherence etc
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Both were great but desktop only supported limited interactions. Nice enlighten AI is more up to date and supports many different channels which is great when your business or company is more robust and utilizes many methods.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
We have not had a chance or a need as of yet to review or try any other products like NICE Uptivity.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
I could say that it is compared in a more personal way, since it is not a very well-known tool, many of its functions are for more private teams and for specific organizations.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
NICE inContact is for our soft phone or virtual phone. They have their own functions in our organization. They are both useful and easy to use. Two different functionality but same NICE. Very friendly tools and recommend this two in their platform. NICE software are really …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
While custom reports update a much faster rate than inContact, the scope of pre-built reports is much larger in PureConnect and it is much easier to schedule reports and deliver them via email attachment. PureConnect has issues with scheduled reports, sometimes they run later …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
It had the best features for the pricepoint.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Superior to Verint in its agent self-service options and the ability to get more detailed schedule activity. Strongly compares with Aspect. Specific features that work for a given business will separate the best choice.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower

Cisco Express and Enterprise.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
inContact blows ININ away (now bought by Genesys systems). ININ requires a lot of money to upgrade, wouldn't do any customization for free, and would not be able to integrate as nice with Salesforce.
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
Cosmo had zero support and growth flexibility
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower

Uptivity by far works better than NICE. I have many issue when trying to pull up calls, locate calls, and evaluate calls within the NICE platform however with the simple logic of Uptivity I never have issues.


Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
I have used numerous amounts of text analytics, including: Clarabridge, Polyvista, SPSS, and other tools in the past. Attensity was by far the best of the lot. It was a bit pricier than some of the other solutions out there, but if you need a positive return on understanding …
Chose NiCE CXone Mpower
We looked at several tools for turning text into data.
The easy to understand tools had limited functionality, the analytical tools required a PHD to attend the sales pitch.
Attensity had taken the approach of including reporting and alerting with their text engine.

Likelihood to Recommend
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!

NICE CXone Mpower offers a great suite of products and tools appropriate for contact centers. It is a one stop shop for all of the monitoring, scheduling, reporting, and quality tools a large or small contact center may need. It is very feature rich and has many components, some of which we haven't even grown to adopt yet but may in the near future.

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

  • There can be changes in interface of the app, however it's still very good
  • I would appreciete detailed web page with all necessary information, but when I need anything, the customer support is very quick and provide all the information
  • Hardly to find any other :)

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.

Nice made it possible for employees to work from anywhere with access to the internet, it made it possible to extract data from contacts in a very thorough way. In addition, the meticaes can be fully customized and the day-to-day monitoring of the operation is more visible.With nice, contacts with clients abroad became easier.

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.

NICE CXone offers a very intuitive interface that is easy for our customers to understand in a short period of time and easy for us to administrate. All tools like Admin, ACD, Reporting, and Analytics are very user-friendly, and with little training, customers can reap the benefits of the tools.

Performance

NICE inContact CXone performs very well even on old computers that are limited in resources. I use a older computer with limited memory and it seems to handle NICE inContact CXone very well in most cases. There will be times when it acts up for whatever reason bust over ninety percent of the time.

We've enjoyed using Aircall so far and have had no issues with it. The platform is easy to use, looks nice, and makes it easy to keep track of everything.

inContact only allows specific users to contact them for support. Even though I use the product daily and it accounts for a large amount of my workload, I still have to contact an authorized user to create an incident. These users are managers and their schedules are very busy. This can result in delays in incidents being opened and resolved.

The training was very brief, teaching how to use the features for my role. Over time, I discovered many other features that were not explained. I believe that if it were done more completely, it would know the features earlier. An example of this is the productivity page, where I needed to measure together with my colleagues, to know the real information that the screen brought and, to my surprise, it was very useful.

We love the use of our new tools. However, NICE staff turnover was frustrating. We lost ground each time a new team took over. Some people were good some were not as much. Some people did great training while others were not as helpful

When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more user-friendly. But in terms of performance management functionality, NICE has a more robust system and is able to create additional metrics if we need them When I used ADP there were no custom options available.

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

  • WFM and net staffing bar have allowed us to see hour by hour if we are over or under-staffed. This keeps us on track with our SLAs.
  • The ability to evaluate calls and have the reps review the evaluations has been a crucial part of keeping our KPI where it needs to be.
