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!

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Our clients are more satisfied since we have been using this program and our workers and customer service agents are also more than pleased with the use of this software, so I give it my 100% recommendation. I have noticed that in the time of use, there are more advantages than disadvantages of using it.

Cons
  • 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.

  • We use the call recording tool, but we can't hear the call very well to be able to clearly understand the conversation, we have already made a report to the technical service.
  • It is a fairly easy-to-use software, but it has functions that clutter the screen and we see that we have not needed them yet.
  • Sometimes it does not have very good synchronization with some channels such as Gmail.

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.
