They are well suited in start up in the Central Asia market, would recommend them for that area. We would also recommend their Voice over internet protocol services for mainland as well. Either the text or VOIP was a good service. The experience overall was great with them. Highly recommended.

As a company our goals have slightly surpassed the current Exotel features and would want some other software which has better capabilities

Usability
I give CloudContactAI a 10/10 because it solves all of the issues I have on just one platform. Before I discovered CCAI, I was using multiple platforms to manage all of my communication. This started to become an issue--I had so many tabs on my browser that it began to be counterproductive. CloudContactAI simplifies communication.

For cold calling and outbound callings, to a certain extend Exotel serves the purpose as mutliple DID numbers are available at our fingertips. For company which use outcalling as a form of passing information to users can benefit from the flexibility it provides. They have a recharge and use model which doesnt have certain expiry. Basic API documentation available and lesser support from their support team on this matter makes it difficult to check if the API thows any error

Support Rating
CloudContactAI has offered their total support throughout the entire process. They helped me onboard and establish my organization. Whenever I've had a fast, simple question, I was able to consult their documentation page or chatbot on their website to find the support I needed within just a couple of minutes.

Initially they had chat support which was available faster. But now the chat support gets routed to a virtual agent and unable to get in touch with an actual agent. They also have no support with respect to the API's and other integrations.

Alternatives Considered
CloudContactAI provides SMS, email, and voice all on one platform so that you don't have to switch between accounts. These other software solutions offer all of these features but on separate accounts. Without CloudContactAI, I would have to use SimpleTexting, SendGrid, and Google Hangouts to leverage the same functionality that CloudContactAI offers on its one platform.

Exotel was selected by us because of the following reasons: -Low set-up and maintenance cost as compared to its peers. -Prompt customer service: You want to upgrade your plan or facing any issues around the platform, Exotel team is just a call away. -Call recording Quality was also better than the peers.
