Considered Both Products
Dialpad Connect
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Connect was much easier to set up (Twilio's regulatory bundle approvals are inconsistent-- the documents I sent them using our account were rejected, but were approved using the same documents when I applied for a phone number from Close CRM's Twilio integration).

Chose Dialpad Connect
I can't really tell you as I haven't tried a competitor, I'm not sure what others there really are. I guess it's better than Twilio but that's not an apples to apples comparison.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Vonage Business Communications, Nextiva, 8x8 Contact Center and GoTo Connect
Chose Dialpad Connect
For the smaller center, Dialpad is a good fit
Chose Dialpad Connect
My previous provider had bad call quality, calls would drop and my phone would randomly dial other numbers. All of these issues have been alleviated with Dialpad. It has been a great and useful service since I signed up.
Chose Dialpad Connect
I'd say Dialpad was similarly priced but had more features. OpenPhone was the best in terms of usability.
Chose Dialpad Connect
It's more user friendly and private, i don't receive any unrelated messages from outside our work organization.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Panterra is dependable and has good support. Dialpad Connect has more features and an easier interface. AT&T has a lot of features, but Dialpad Connect's interface is easier. AT&T does not do call transcription that I know of. Comcast BVE and 8x8 services are lower quality and …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Been many years, as i was in previous job. Travel agency that worked like a call center. But its been 5 years on Dialpad and it functions for us as a call center. But has better options
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad checked all the boxes for us, from Integration capabilities to being a single pane of glass for both the admin and end user.

The other products were varied in what they offered vs what we were looking for. Some had features we liked, but didn't like the overall look or …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Connect more than holds its own against its competitors. It's pricing and support are very good. Additionally it's free trial offer is instrumental in demonstratingto a customer it's ability to pay for itself without concerning potential new clients with immediate and …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Zoom is a popular option, but not that easy to set up - not even close compared to Dialpad Ai Meetings!
Chose Dialpad Connect
Company decided on a service that was more inclusive then just using Zoom or something similar. Also we have had some bad experiences with Ring Central
Chose Dialpad Connect
More expensive, but way more functional
Chose Dialpad Connect
We canceled Slack for our internal communication and meetings
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad Connect is very helpful for everyone. After switching to Orum, I feel that Orum better fits our business needs as it can serve as both a power and parallel dialer. The best part is the live coaching feature, where I can listen in on any calls in real-time to coach my …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Other products we looked at did not work with our customized Salesforce environment.
Chose Dialpad Connect
As mentioned before, features are inituitive on DialPad and easy to use. Sound quality, scheduling and other features available are as expected.
Chose Dialpad Connect
Neither Zoom nor Teams automatically send your conference recordings to the chair or organizer; you have to go in and download them. Zoom/Teams will notify when the meeting is about to start; however I have never been contacted by the system or auto-connected to the meeting by …
Chose Dialpad Connect
Dialpad is designed with a mobile-first approach, making it a strong choice for teams that need to manage calls, messages, and meetings on the go. Dialpad may be better than Zoom for businesses that need a comprehensive communication platform with a strong emphasis on voice …
Ooma Office
Chose Ooma Office
We used Spectrum Business phones before switching to Ooma Office, and the difference in overall usability has been night and day. With Spectrum, the installation process was frustrating — it felt overly complicated, and getting support when we needed it was a constant headache. …
Chose Ooma Office
Ooma is programmable. When I had comcast I could not program the phones.
Chose Ooma Office
Ooma was the first and only we have used
Chose Ooma Office
I used a land line company for years and then switched to a VOIP company. When I learned how much better Ooma was, I was really skeptical at first, but they allowed me to try their service. Once I did, there was no comparison. I switched to Ooma and have never looked back.
Chose Ooma Office
Ooma leads the way, especially since they are a VOIP service in the age of teleworking and work from home. It is cheaper and can be used anywhere via their application, which works overall pretty well.
Chose Ooma Office
It's much easier to manage than our previous solutions. It makes our phone infrastructure robust and scalable. The virtual assistant has also been very useful for us to keep our customers updated on changes in pricing, hours etc. We had to manually record any changes earlier …
Chose Ooma Office
I can only speak to Ooma Office, as it was the first product I evaluated and was referred to me by someone I trust who uses it.
Chose Ooma Office
So much better, easier to use and less expensive! Overall better product. Support is heads and tails above what Nextiva pretends to offer its customers! I will save over $6000 my first year alone with Ooma. Thank you for making such a great product. You will help small …
Chose Ooma Office
Ooma [Office] was [the] cheaper option over Nextiva. It didn't have near the features of Nextiva, but saved money for us month to month. The features that we were losing out on, while interesting, were not things we needed in order to support our organization. We were very …
Chose Ooma Office
We only used our local phone company. Compared to our local phone company, Ooma Office beats it hands down. It is much cheaper. It has an app for my phone that works brilliantly. It is user-friendly. We are able to take calls both in the office and when we are mobile. The …
Chose Ooma Office
We were using Open Phone, an app. We paid for 4 different numbers and ran our business this way which was not sustainable. We were also paying $60 a month for this service which had 0 features. Once we switched to Ooma office, we have dropped our bill to $30 and are using 3 …
Chose Ooma Office
We use Ooma Office for everyone in the company including mobile users. It has allowed us to eliminate the spam callers as well give our mobile and remote users the ability to make business calls - from any device, from anywhere, at any time - without having to worry about any …
Chose Ooma Office
We went over to Ooma [Office] after having had Intermedia for several years. Intermedia was good, but they were due for an update on many of their systems, which they did after we left. With Ooma [Office], we have our hold music and other basic, easy to use options that fit …
Chose Ooma Office
This is my first experience with a VOIP phone system, but previously I had tried to use AT&T for my business line, although the setup never even happened because of misinformation I was given. In the end I'm glad I ended up with Ooma instead because it has been much more …
Chose Ooma Office
Digium's uptime and service was not great
Chose Ooma Office
The Ooma product offer significantly more features a small business at a much lower price. The customer service is excellent. We are treated the same as if we were their largest customer. The larger communication companies don’t seem to be too interest in the small business …

Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited for basic calling functionality, but has been a poor experience for us when used for texting, as it lacks some of the features of other platforms, such as Haymarket. It is also challenging to capture good analytics, as this is neither easy nor clear for users to find.

[Ooma Office has] good customer service: this is important in our business as we have 24/7 phone service and rely on any tech issues being solved quickly. The price point is very good for small businesses. Being able to block robo / spam calls with one click is a huge plus as it saves us time on the phone and cleans up our incoming calls for the future.

Pros
  • I can make calls through the app & the caller ID shows my office line - I can toggle between the main business line and my direct line.
  • It keeps all of my voicemails & transcriptions in one place.
  • The desktop login allows me to access everything as well.

  • Saving money: Ooma Office saves a bundle compared to what we were paying for Verizon business phone services.
  • The mobile app is the most helpful part of Ooma Office for us. We can be "in the office" anywhere, even if we're telephonically.
  • The automated assistant can be invaluable in routing calls and handling frequently asked questions.

Cons
  • The previous call window was way better to see full screen.
  • Having the call options down below makes it uncomfortable and users need to take more steps to do thing that used to take just a click or 2.
  • I would like to adjust the left side menu a little more

  • Cell phone app could be a little easier to use.
  • Ooma Desktop needs some tweaking to make it more user friendly.
  • I would like my 800 number to be assigned to my personal mailbox vs. having to have its own extension.

As of now, the way this system allows us to call each other, text each other (inner office) as well as communicate with customers while being fully integrated with our CRM (Service Titan) has made everything so much easier for everyone. Thus far, I am super thrilled with the ease of use, integration and all the reasons we chose Dialpad Talk are working great

We have found it very easy to configure, manage, and expand our phone operations with Ooma Office. We needed a reliable phone network as this is the first means of communication for our customers - Ooma has made it a lot easier for us to manage. Their support is also available 24x7 so that's a huge plus.

Usability
Dialpad Connect is good and recommended for any organization. It is a good value. It can accomplish everything that your organization is looking for, and no one will say it is outside the budget for any 50+ person organization. The AI feature is very useful. The dashboard could be a bit easier to manage, and the integration with Salesforce could be a bit smoother.

If I had to rate Ooma Office’s overall usability on a scale from 1 to 10, I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10.From my experience, the setup was incredibly straightforward — honestly one of the easiest systems I’ve ever rolled out for a small business. The dashboard is clean, user-friendly, and doesn’t take a tech-savvy person to navigate. Within a short time, our team was up and running without needing IT support.What I really appreciate is how intuitive the call handling features are — forwarding, voicemail, virtual receptionist — it’s all laid out in a way that just makes sense. Plus, the mobile app makes it super convenient to stay connected when I’m not in the office.

Reliability and Availability
There have not been any outages that I am aware of and we have had consistently good coverage since the start. There can be a slight lag from the office to the mobile app, but it is not terribly noticeable and it has not resulted in any calls being prematurely hung up

Performance
The emails of voice transcription come very quickly after a call has been completed and except for a few fairly difficult names are pretty accurate. The ability to quickly listen to the voicemail from email without having to open the app is also a bonus. I have not noticed or heard of any slowdowns

Support Rating
  1. Dialpad Onboarding support was okay. I think this was because we used a 3rd party vendor. We had a lot of issues with provisioning the phones.
  2. The Dialpad sales rep forgot to mention that Dialpad is only compatible with Polycom desk phones so we bad to purchase new phones last minute.
  3. We were supposed to get 3 months free when we signed up with Dialpad as a courtesy but the charged us for the 3rd month. They have resolved this error but I think there was no designated point of contact on Dialpad's end to help things move more smoothly.

Ooma Office support is always available. I've never been on the phone with them for longer than 5 minutes. They are knowledgable, have great active listening skills, are able to make recommendations on how to make Ooma Office work even better for you, and wait times to speak with an agent are reasonable and typically less than 1 minute.

I didn't participate in the implementation. But obviously it went flawlessly, as all users are set up in-house, and on the app.
Read full review
Have a plan in place before you start the implementation, open communication with the staff on the changes being made, prepare a reference guide on the system and how to navigate the new setup. Budget and allocate time for helping staff learn the new system. Consolidate and coordinate all the questions internally before reaching out to support.
