DialogTech
Chose DialogTech
DialogTech was our current vendor but we were exploring other options because our sister brand, Fitness Together, was utilizing Call Rail. We stayed with DialogTech because we were able to add more features and get a better price[.]
Chose DialogTech
DialogTech has more pricing options. The onboarding process flows very smoothly and professionally. Their interface is very user-friendly and they offer continuous support via their communication channel and resources provided. The setup is very easy and fast to get going with. …
Chose DialogTech
Forgot the names but some new ones pick up keywords in a conversation for tracking which can be really useful.
Chose DialogTech
We have used and evaluated Mongoose Metrics, Ninja Calls, Call Source, and many others. We always go back to DialogueTech because of the pricing and ease of use.
Chose DialogTech
Pricewise, they were pretty similar, but DialogTech's customer service really won me over. My SEO/SEM provider also had a previous relationship with them, so there was a comfort level there.
Chose DialogTech
If you have the programming resources, IfByPhone is the choice for you. If you do not have an experienced programmer, products like Voxeo would be better suited to your needs, but much more expensive.
Marchex
Chose Marchex
I believe that the way in which Marchex solutions are shown leaves you with a secure feeling that the service is accessible and easy to understand. This makes you choose it even among other platforms with more marketing disclosure. Undoubtedly, it is the service that makes you …
Chose Marchex
I love how easy it is to listen to calls, filter and export reports for clients. Super happy with the services that are provided for me!
Chose Marchex
Marchex was much better than Car Wars in reporting and tracking and implementation. The costs were about the same.

Call Rail has the specific advantage over Marchex with its ability to easily integrate data with Google Analytics.
Chose Marchex
The client selected Marchex, and we were expected to use it. Overall, if you're solely looking for call-tracking, there are other, cheaper partners to work with. If you have an enterprise-level client that may need additional features like call-marketplace, ad placements, etc, …
Chose Marchex
marchex is a simple program to get call tracking numbers, voice recording, and data about calls. This is the only software we have used for call tracking, however, it has fulfilled our needs. It is very helpful when a client says they aren't getting calls or aren't getting …
Chose Marchex
We haven't used any other service besides Marchex, once you love a service you don't leave it.
Chose Marchex
There is no comparison. Marchex offers better customer service, a better product, and more options. It it so much more in depth, easier to use, and has a better looking interface. We switched from Mongoose Metrics to Marchex because Marchex integrated better and easier into our …

If your organization manages a lot of marketing accounts for clients. DialogTech will definitely help automate communications to improve customer experience and marketing performance.

Marchex does a fantastic job of offering stable and consistent Call Analytics data along with friendly, helpful, and prompt service reps. Where Marchex falls short is the lack of great user experience and intuitive design.

Pros
  • It is reliable and never goes down.
  • The reporting is simple to use and provides the right data.
  • The customer service is great, they always answer the phone.

  • Marchex is really great at recording calls. Our clients can see if there are any internal issues to address with their own employees and systems in place. Many clients believed that the message was the issue but once they were able to listen to their calls, they saw that they needed more internal training on closing leads and making sales.
  • Marchex is a really great solution to gauge the effectiveness of a message and which medium was more effective in delivering that message. For instance, we can let our clients know if their sales pitch worked best for driving leads through radio, tv, internet, etc.

Cons
  • Improving the reporting to include graphic displays/data visualization natively rather than exporting to Excel.
  • Customize call length reporting and filtering. Options now are <1 minute, 1-5 minutes, etc. But < 2 minutes is a better option because it takes a minute just to get through prompts and listen to a voicemail greeting.

  • because I had a change in our team's contact person, I had to reexplain our business model and it took some time
  • business model changed since I first worked with Marchex

The only reason we would not use IfByPhone again is if our resellers do not need another IVR Solution.

We renew Marchex each year, we love it! It's a great investment. It's woven into a few of our products that we offer our clients so we wouldn't stop using it any time soon. The clients are big fans of it

Support Rating
They were typically easy to deal with, and solved our issues quickly, especially later in our use time. In the beginning, it was sometimes difficult to get a fast resolution because the nature of our problems resided in partnerships that they had with vendors for telecom routes.

Return on Investment
  • We were able to get real-time feedback on the success of marketing campaigns and put more money toward them.
  • Conversely, we were able to pull money from campaigns that were not performing, which we knew quickly.
Read full review
  • Overall, like all call tracking, Marchex allows for determining what, if any, leads are coming through from channels. It hasn't lead to increasing ROI, just tracking it.
  • The cost for Marchex is generally more expensive than other call-tracking software in the space. That being said, some of their features maybe a good addition for these businesses. However, the cost isn't as competitive.
  • I do not have any complaints with the performance of Marchex, only with their on-rails experience, which tries to drive more people into more features than are necessary.
