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.
Zoom Phone
Chose Zoom Phone
User management is easier with Zoom Workplace and for larger meetings and calls offers a larger feature set and better recording options when appropriate. Interactive chat for group meetings is easy to use and encourages participation and attentiveness. The cloud features for …
Chose Zoom Phone
we use teams for internal meetings and internal collaboration. It fits oue environment better. However the phone system from Zoom Workplace is much easier to setup and use than Zoom Workplace calling is.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Workplace checks WAY more boxes than any of these, except I believe that BlueJeans had more permissions (facilitator, moderator, etc.)
Chose Zoom Phone
zoom is better for mobile working.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Workplace does well with both phone communications, meeting communications, and conference room capabilities. It's chat capabilities are inferior to Microsoft Teams as Teams has a higher integration with other utilized tools.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Workplace beat all competitors on price. Interface was easy to learn and use and we had already tried Zoom Workplace for meetings before adding phone services so we liked the idea of having that integrated in a single service. SMS messaging and interoffice chat became …
Chose Zoom Phone
I joined this company after they had already chosen Zoom Workplace is very functional but too confusing for the ties to our e mail addresses, document sharing, etc...I don't feel great about using it and who sees what.
Chose Zoom Phone
The main reason why we switched to Zoom Phone is because our VOIP system inexplicably went down for almost a month and no one could figure out what was wrong. Lumen was charging way more than Zoom Workplace, but could not get the system to work.
Chose Zoom Phone
I only have experience using Teams as an attendee. I believe the Zoom Workplace platform for meetings is easier to navigate.
Chose Zoom Phone
We use Teams still for most things, but for video conferencing and phones we use Zoom Workplace because it is much better and more cost effective, hardware wise.
Chose Zoom Phone
Cheaper, faster, easier for the team to adapt to and use.
Chose Zoom Phone
Nextiva Business Phone Service and Mitel MiCollab
Chose Zoom Phone
Ease of use, pricing was much better, we had Zoom conferencing already so it made using the phone solution easy as we can use the same Zoom Client. The features were more robust than anything else we had seen for a cloud based telephone system. The troubleshooting tools are …
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Phone was much easier to manage and use than Cisco. It also allowed us to get off premises and into the cloud. We chose Zoom to move into the future of phone systems.

Zoom Phone/contact center was much easier to setup and use than TalkDesk. It was also quite a bit less …
Chose Zoom Phone
Cloudcall had worse call quality, more dropped calls, and no texting function. All three things improved when switching to Zoom Phone.
Chose Zoom Phone
Compared to Mitel, Zoom is a next-generation phone system that is significantly easier to use than Mitel or Teams.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Phone was the best value and had the richest features. Also, the implementation of Zoom Phone was much easier than the competing products.
Chose Zoom Phone
Has all the features plus Zoom Meeting integration. Pricing is very competitive. Zoom Webinar is a cut above similar products, so having them all in the same family makes it easier for our staff, most of whom are not technical.
Chose Zoom Phone
As I mentioned before, the interoperability between Zoom Phone communication channels with Chat and Meeting makes this a good user and customer experience.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom outpaces most of the other companies by miles. Teams is a 2nd but it's not even close. Cost of Zoom for longer meetings, more features might turn people off - but it shouldn't because of the actual features and integration (neat bar, Zoom rooms in 365, etc) - others may …
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Phones is simply user-friendly. You don't have to be a computer engineer to use the software. It does exactly what Zoom Phones promises. It saves money from business and personal landline. Which then in hard times is a huge benefit for me. Less bills more work time.

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!

I think it works well for offices that have multiple locations. Being able to give each person and office their own extension makes it easier for colleagues to connect with each other, plus it's a costs savings for each of the offices

Pros
  • Make representatives aware of connection, time zone, environment. Having a sense of the customers location will help us to assist the customer
  • Aircall always asks the quality of your call to be able to provide feedback on connection or issues with the app.
  • Aircall is very customizable. You are able to set certain ringtones, play audio through computer and headset, as well as make it your own.

  • Transcribes voicemails. Great for those verbose folks that leave long voicemails.
  • Loud and clear volume quality! Great in a busy office with lots of people talking.
  • Easy to keep track of who has called me. Has Caller ID which is helpful.

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

  • We needed to link each of our team members' personal emails to the Zoom account so we have to filter VM notifications out of our personal accounts.
  • It'd be nice if you could set business hours through the webpage to include a lunch break so that you don't have to manually go in to edit.

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.

Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call.

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.

Support have been great during the time for implementing Zoom Phones to our team of 50 people. There were times where they kept supporting us through links but more and more we had actual people getting back to us via emails so we are very happy overall. The product is so great, too.

Price point was about the same but Zoom included more features for the price. Also the ISO mobile app was better. We were also about to drop Calendly and save some money using the native Zoom app.

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
  • Zoom Workplace has had a positive effect on out business by combining meetings and phones in one place.
  • The collaboration has been better with our staff being hybrid.
  • The Zoom Workplace platform has been more that I expected to pay, but the customer service is outstanding.
