Dialpad is so much better than Sisco. Oh my, when I had to use that there were always major outages. At the time i worked for a phone company that was based off of commission so once Sisco when out, so did my money. It was so aggravating. I have never had a issue with Dialpad …

That was 3 years ago and They didn't have Ai at that time. But only reason why we did not choose Genesys was, it required Gateway systems set in our office which did not meet our BCP requirement
Chose Dialpad Support

Chose Dialpad Support
Dialpad Support is superior to both Avaya and Genesys, because only Dialpad offers a automatic transcribing system during and after the call. It also is very easy to use and can send text messages during a call. The only thing that needs improvement on Dialpad is the interval …

Dialpad and Ringcentral (along with most Cloud VOIP services) are all very similar now and the only difference is their unique approach to the interface. In most cases we would go with a brand that is well know or a common name among other institutions. Dialpad brings a sense …

Vonage does have much more deeper integration with Salesforce (a ton) but, it is very hard to manager and use and needs dedicated resources to pull it off. It also doesn't have as many easily used features for agents.

Likelihood to Recommend
I didn't personally hate working with Finesse as an end-user, but the frequent bugs and crashes were troublesome. While the frequency wasn't daily or weekly, it was enough to be memorable and difficult to work through. At times the software would crash across the board and take 15 minutes to recover, which pending call volumes, could be highly problematic. When it was working I had few issues or complaints.

I think the Dialpad Support provides a great way to speed up calls being directed to the right department but also provides the added safety of detailed information so that calls are not lost in the shuffle. The ability to better educate new folks on how to route calls and take some of the note-taking about who is calling and why off their plate is great.

I cannot think of one single reason we would stop using Dialpad. There has been too much positive feedback from our staff as well as the ease of use and training for new hires is big incentive to renew. We've looked at other VoIP products and price versus feature set is overwhelmingly in favor of continuing to use Dialpad.

Usability
It is easy to use, but there are outages that affect the overall customer satisfaction. There were many times when we were unable to enter the call queues or even our direct lines because the system was not functioning properly. It was extremely easy to transfer people and that was a great function of the program.

It's a great tool for our department! We're still trying to figure out how to best utilize all of the capabilities and have not yet explored all it can do. So far, we love it, but know there's more it can do!

Return on Investment
  • It becomes more flexible to work with [Cisco] Finesse in terms of keep records of historical and real time data.
  • Being a complex system it should have some helping manual.
  • For large scale buisness using [Cisco] Finesse with all functionalities is a very good choice.

  • The callback feature has saved clients a lot of hold time
  • The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
  • The Ai transcript feature has helped dozens of agents, as well as the company, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and lost money due to verifying conversations and information that normally would be much harder to confirm without it
