Considered Both Products	CloudTalk Zuzana Hasko Head of Marketing Chose CloudTalk We were recommended CloudTalk basically from everybody in our network so we reached out directly to them at first and since they had everything we were looking for, feature-wise, and also were in our budget, we didn't really consider other vendors on the market. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk There were several services suitable for our needs. CloudTalk was chosen because of its simplicity, complexity, and brief time needed to use this service. No broad technical knowledge is required to start and operate CloudTalk. Incentivized Helpful? Matej Kukucka Founder Chose CloudTalk Better value for the money (by far). And besides that, all the features we needed, CloudTalk has them. Shoutout to their support for answering all the questions we had and to their CSM team for giving us a quick demo on the same day when we requested it. Recommended solution! Incentivized Helpful? Martin Kováč Marketing Specialist Chose CloudTalk Cloudtalk is well-priced for what we need from it. The fact that it has many features that we plan to use in the future is a deciding factor, and that gives it a big advantage. So the biggest impact was the comprehensiveness of the solution and the integration with the CRM. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk Twilio, Aircall and Talkdesk Incentivized Helpful? Marc Louis-Boyard International growth marketing specialist / Lead generation & International PR Chose CloudTalk We tried dealing with Aircall, but their solution didn't seem so flexible and the initial adoption cost was way out of our context. We learned later that the solution was in fact more flexible than we thought, but were disappointed by the little quality of their before-sales … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk So much better, much cleaner design. Much less complicated setup process. Has a much more up-to-date program. You can use the browser version or the stand-alone app, both are far more fleshed-out pieces of software. It is also much more reliable, haven't had the app crash even … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk CloudTalk is a lot more intuitive and provides more features and analytics than 3CX. The fact it allows for integration as well means we can stay on top of all of our missed calls and know exactly what client rang linking them to their company account. Incentivized Helpful? BM Bobbe Marvin Setter Team Manager Chose CloudTalk RingCentral has major issues syncing in real-time. The Web app and the desktop app never showed the same numbers. Often I'd have to wait hours for reports to update and then still had no confidence in the information presented. Incentivized Helpful? TN Trevor Nicholson CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Chose CloudTalk CloudTalk is significantly more affordable, easy to setup and the trial month was very helpful to ensure it was what we needed. AirCall can probably do a lot more but I cannot tell you what and I don't believe we need more as we are not a complex business that needs multiple … Incentivized Helpful? SS Samantha Semuhin Senior Support Manager Chose CloudTalk The pricing is more interesting and the fact they have a product easy to use with integrations with both our Sales and Support CRM's made us chose them. We were also told that a lot of the features we needed would be implemented in the soon future so let's see if it happens. Incentivized Helpful? FR Frederico Rocha CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose CloudTalk Availability of a Portuguese phone number and voice call quality. Incentivized Helpful? Diana Furikova Sales Manager Chose CloudTalk I have been using WhatsApp quite often for private and sometimes professional usage and in the past Skype and ICQ. WhatsApp is for free but I would say that CloudTalk provides a higher quality while talking so if I should choose between them for messages is WhatsApp very easy … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk The first thing is cost. CloudTalk was a lot cheaper than others. The other thing I noticed is that there were a lot of unwanted or unnecessary features with the other ones that didn't really matter to us, but were more [than] able to ask a higher price per seat. However, the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk We used local VOIP provider, but it was slow, manual-based and expensive solution. Incentivized Helpful? Logan Brown Head of Sales and CS Chose CloudTalk It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before. Incentivized Helpful? PR Pablo Ritchie Product Manager Chose CloudTalk The integration of CloudTalk with Pipedrive makes the native Pipedrive call system practically unnecessary. The latter does not allow searching for calls or generating indicators as well achieved as in CloudTalk. Incentivized Helpful? Balder Goyo Coordinador de ventas Chose CloudTalk Before CloudTalk, we used Pipedrive. It also works really well, but it does not have the option of analytics. You could not check things like how many calls were made during the day or a specific time period. That, for me, is the most valuable feature of CloudTalk--all the data … Incentivized Helpful? JM juan meier lend officer Chose CloudTalk It's the perfect complement to the other services we use as it permits us to get in contact with our clients in order to not only have good communication inside of the company but also outside the company with our clients. It really rounds up the whole package. It's just the … Incentivized Helpful? Ian Moro Investment Advisor Chose CloudTalk Can't elaborate on this one. Incentivized Helpful? SM Siddharth Malhotra Business development Chose CloudTalk N/A Incentivized Helpful? Stasia Blake Administrative Strategist Chose CloudTalk CloudTalk service is immediately available once a profile is created and payment is made. Five9 indicated it would take up to 2 weeks to have full access to the service. Incentivized Helpful? Alex Peralta Partnership Manager Chose CloudTalk Though it was not my decision from switching from Circleloop, when we had originally used CircleLoop it gave some issues with internal transfer and taking calls which heavily affected us. With CloudTalk we can now successfully make outbound calls without any problems. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk CloudTalk has a better value for the money spent and has been easier to set up than other peers in that regards as well as better overall integration with already existing Software that we have been using for years in our company. At the end, the communication with CloudTalk … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CloudTalk CloudTalk is much more configurable. It is very easy to send proactive SMS messages with CloudTalk whilst with Zendesk Talk this can only be done through a workaround. Zendesk does not provide Chinese virtual numbers either and outbound calls were not working to Chinese numbers … Incentivized Helpful?	Lingo Caitlin McGlynn Global Marketing Coordinator Chose Lingo We used SPS for a brief time because our warehouse had the capability to integrate with this program. It was very expensive and the interface for manually processing was not user friendly or easy to navigate. The integration was going to be an additional large cost. Lingo, … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	CloudTalk	Lingo
Likelihood to Recommend	Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Lingo is great for small to mid sized company working with big box retailers that want to manage EDI in a cost effective but also time efficient manner. If you are looking for complete automation and integration, or a highly developed interface this is not the EDI platofrm for you Incentivized Caitlin McGlynn Global Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Pros	Very easy to setup and configure. It took literally a few minutes to start making our first calls. Integrates with many CRM systems. We've connected with Zendesk for calls and texts to generate tickets automatically. Great selection of virtual numbers for international calls. Great customer support team with quick replies. Call quality is generally good, especially for the price. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	User friendly, easy to see what needs to be done for each retail partner and completing all required documents Its price is competitive compared to other options Nice that they don't send a million update and confirmation emails like some platforms Incentivized Caitlin McGlynn Global Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Cons	A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one. Desktop app has had some instability issue. IVR needs to be self-recorded which can lead to a lower quality. Incentivized SS Samantha Semuhin Senior Support Manager Read full review	Cost setup for each retail partner is steep. In this digital age, it seems like a rip off to have to pay for this service ERP/Warehouse integration - it does not have the ability to integrate with our ERP setup currently. Sometimes there are just one too many steps to submit documents - wish it automatically prompted to the next submission step to remember to get through all steps more easily and not get lost in submitting documents Incentivized Caitlin McGlynn Global Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	It is working and affordable Incentivized TN Trevor Nicholson CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work. IL Ieva Lukstiņa Customer Support Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

Alternatives Considered	It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before. Logan Brown Head of Sales and CS Read full review	We used SPS for a brief time because our warehouse had the capability to integrate with this program. It was very expensive and the interface for manually processing was not user friendly or easy to navigate. The integration was going to be an additional large cost. Lingo, while it does not have the integration capabilities, was the lower cost and easier to use option. We could get things done quickly for a lower cost and easily teach our third party warehouse to help in the process. Incentivized Caitlin McGlynn Global Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Return on Investment	With helping us gain a US number, it's made us able to call candidates and clients which we've completed multiple deals Being able to integrate CloudTalk with Salesforce, saves us a lot of time typing in numbers individually in which we can make more calls Incentivized Zak Weller Senior Recruitment Specialist Read full review	It helps us save money on EDI processing It was user friendly so we could have our warehouse take over helping us process ASNs and take over steps on processing EDI orders for no additional cost- this has saved our admin time needed for these orders We were able to add all our retailer partners with specific requirements without issue. It helps us stream the processing and save time/money on these orders where the margins are not always great and the rules complicated Incentivized Caitlin McGlynn Global Marketing Coordinator Read full review
