Dialpad ConnectPanTerra Networks
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 …
PanTerra Networks
Chose PanTerra Networks
I compared between the vendors and found them affordable and reliable. Their onboarding process was rather lengthier but since then, we have hardly had issues.
Chose PanTerra Networks
We've used Net2Phone and Segra prior to using PanTerra Networks. PanTerra Networks has been our best overall system. For Net2Phone, call quality was an issue at times and it was not easy to update the system for holidays at the time of use as well as limited data analytics. …
Chose PanTerra Networks
I only used grasshopper with a smaller team so I’m not sure if it would scale. I did not select PanTerra Networks but have been using it for 4+ years. It does work, but I think it could be better.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Teams was a nightmare to use. Did it once and will not go back.
Chose PanTerra Networks
It is a simpler solution and a more cost-effective option but best suited for small teams who are comfortable with on-premise solutions. Call centers with large teams require a more elaborate set up in my opinion.
Chose PanTerra Networks
The capabilities of Streams far exceeded either of the other products we have used in recent years.
Chose PanTerra Networks
First thing would be cost, Ring Central has a lot of bells and whistles which is nice, but we didn't use many of them so we were paying for things that were not needed for our business. Second would be the customer service and account management. I think they got too big too …
Chose PanTerra Networks
We previously used Verizon for our business phones. we then had to seek additional services for additional features we were looking for. The need to use multiple companies made billing and customer support exhausting and cumbersome. Since switching to PanTerra Networks our …
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Networks is much less expensive than other solutions. Our small business does not need all the features that other products offer.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Far superior did a lot of research and talking to everyone at the companies above and price and product so much better with PanTerra Networks
Chose PanTerra Networks
Had several outages and price point per VOIP phone line was not competitive. Restricted use of proprietary phones was too limiting.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Everybody has phones. They all work. PanTerra Networks makes it easier to evaluate, implement and SUPPORT.
Chose PanTerra Networks
Streams is very easy to use , the interface with windows is taskless and the mobile app works just fine as well. Texting is easy, just type message and send, you can also share files via text through web or the app itself . Monitor the trainees calls to make sure they are doing …
Chose PanTerra Networks
Customers like the local Support
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Networks is viewed as more competitive, and close enough to win. Those other companies do offer more integrations off the shelve, and do have a more user friendly portal. Panterra does give the client a more personalized experience when it comes to the presentation, …
Chose PanTerra Networks
PanTerra Networks is much more seamless and integrated than Adtran products. The vonage products are very similiar to the Panterra telephony products. Panterra has a much better call & contact center application and better unified communications. The pricing for Panterra is …
Chose PanTerra Networks
We really had a lack of support from the sales department and the support system to the point that we felt the need to leave
Chose PanTerra Networks
The customer support on PanTerra Streams is significantly better than Vonage. Also, the overall cost of PanTerra Streams was better, in our experience, than Vonage.
Chose PanTerra Networks
I was not part of the decision making process to select PanTerra Streams, but since I have been brought on board we have found others that are easier to use and more cost effective than Panterra, so we are making a change.

Dialpad ConnectPanTerra Networks
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.

One of the main draws of PanTerra Networks Streams is the unlimited calling, which was very enticing. We chose the platform over other models (per-call for example) because they simplified billing. While the video conferencing and messaging feel bare-bones or underdeveloped in comparison to other players in the market, the fact that the messaging is seamlessly integrated into the PBX makes it easy to use. The call routing systems are especially robust, which in the collections world is very important to be able to segment calls to different users.

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.
Read full review
  • Attended or un-attended answering of incoming calls
  • Transfer calls to appropriate person
  • Integrates with cell phones for always available
  • Keeps a log of phone calls
  • Allows me to use messaging on my phone system and desktop
  • Allows me to manage user accounts

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
Read full review
  • Billing support is not easy to reach.
  • Being online and on app is a bit confusing. You have to set each to ring or not.
  • We would love if you could change the outbound caller ID faster than in settings. Like when you dial out.

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

In all likelihood, we will remain Panterra customers for many years. VoIP phone and messaging is a rapidly expanding and evolving market, however, and its possible a better solution will come along, but for now, Panterra Streams offers a compelling solution combining leading features, great customer service, and affordable pricing.

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.

PanTerra Networks needs to make the interface more user friendly and make it easier for the users. Like saving message templates or saving phone numbers for the fax directory.

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.

The support team is fantastic, probably the best I have experienced with any company. If I have a question, I can quickly chat with support and they resolve the problem nearly immediately. I don't have to call a phone number and wait on the line for hours for a response. Overall, the support team is one of the main reasons we continue to utilize PanTerra Streams.

I didn't participate in the implementation. But obviously it went flawlessly, as all users are set up in-house, and on the app.

The implementation was fast. Things were explained quite well on the onboarding call. All that was left to do was to map the extensions(they did this for us) and port over the numbers. The porting process went pretty smoothly! No complaints at all.

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 service is not great.

Scalability
So far, Dialpad has been a great improvement for our organization. It allows everyone to be on the same service and the integration with the mobile app means everyone is still using the "office" numbers even when on the go which makes it easier not having to balance multiple phone numbers from people

Return on Investment
  • Allows us to reach the maximum amount of callers, at least 100
  • Worth the annual price of $180 to hold conferences with members
  • Access to the Dialpad system 24/7 to hold meetings
  • Abillity to share conference recordings to members/callers for follow-up
Read full review
  • Very reliable. We make hundreds of calls outbound and there has never been a connectivity issue or otherwise
  • We decreased our monthly expense for reliable service by several hundred dollars
  • The onboarding support was the best we've ever experienced. They were on the phone while we hooked up every phone, tested, and got it all set up with ease.
  • Any changes needed after onboarding were difficult to accomplish without a call to customer service. Some of those calls to customer service made things more confusing
