Considered Both Products

Chose Revenue.io
While both platforms offer similar features, several significant distinctions may make one more ideal for particular firms, including User interface and design, Advanced marketing automation, and pricing, and many other features. Furthermore, Integration with other tools …
Chose Revenue.io
I used Avaya to make calls in my previous job but it was not user-friendly and very complicated to use.
Chose Revenue.io
We have been inclined only to RingDNA due to its user-friendly interface and are not intending to move to any other application.
Chose Revenue.io
I honestly think that Salesloft is a more complete solution as far as the user interface goes. However, Ring DNA has the added call intelligence feature that sales loft doesn't have, so we went with ring dna.
Chose Revenue.io
We selected RingDNA because you get so many features that are already built into their product that you do not have to pay extra for them. Five9 was not as simple to use as RingDNA and it did not include many of the features that RingDNA offered. It was also more expensive. …
Chose Revenue.io
After evaluating many products we shortlisted RingDNA only. We switched over to RingDNA from our IPLC phone. And to date we are not regretting our purchase. They had features we were looking for as per our internal sales rep requirement. We shortlisted a few of them and started …
Chose Revenue.io
The ease of use and calling make RingDNA stand out against other products I've tried. I like how quickly you can connect to SalesForce for a call. I think other products for call lists are pretty comparable. I'm sure more have a local presence now, but that was my first …
Chose Revenue.io
Sales. I used 8 x 8 for years, it doesn't compare to RingDNA. It integrates with Salesforce well. You can do so many different things on one page. It took a little time to learn how to use, but once I did, it really helped increase my productivity which helped me close more.
Chose Revenue.io
While RingDNA doesn't accelerate the number of dials you can make (like Connect and Sell), it gives you control and visibility into the impact of each call you make.
Chose Revenue.io
Super heavy weight solutions that take weeks to setup and are impossible to manage.
VanillaSoft
Chose VanillaSoft
Simply put, VanillaSoft is a better value for your dollar than any CRM I have tried on the market. Although Salesforce is a good product, it is way too expensive for many small to medium-sized businesses. VanillaSoft offers a premiere CRM experience that businesses of any size …
Chose VanillaSoft
We've evaluated SalesLoft instead of VanillaSoft as they had similar features that we were looking for. We decided on VanillaSoft as we had better close references from it, but we didn't find any issue with SalesLoft.
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft is a lot easier to use and manage (from the admin perspective) when compared to using SalesLoft or Outreach. Since our main requirement was related to customization of the whole product, VanillaSoft hit the nail hard at the right place and the right time for us. …
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft has more internal functionality than ring central. It has an easy learning process for our virtual assistants and allows for immediate implementation. It allows for us to check our staffs' productivity and keep things in check. Also, it makes dialing really really …

VanillaSoft stacks up against Microsoft Power BI very well by allowing the data visualization in a more effective way, Power BI has positioned itself as one of the more robust and intuitive tools for business intelligence and data presentation. VanillaSoft and Microsoft Power …

VS could add the hard copy mail correspondence to be more on the same level with Rocket Referrals. Also the ability to send out testimonial/review requests would be another nice addition for VS.
Chose VanillaSoft
The companies we evaluated are not on the list you provided. VanillaSoft was selected due to its flexibility and other stewardship connection streams.
Chose VanillaSoft
Ruffalo Noel Levitz Engage was the previous platform used. VanillaSoft is much more user-friendly and allows in-house customization and implementation reducing costs.
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft is easy to use and set up. It does not require any coding or complicated setup. The dashboard is pretty straightforward.
Chose VanillaSoft
It's been so many years since I've used the others, but the VanillaSoft is well above and beyond the two I listed. The ease of functions, flexibility in setup, and the outbound calling and email features are leaps and bounds above the others. I could not see ever going back to …
Chose VanillaSoft
I cannot recall which other products we considered so many years ago, but VanillaSoft has been a great choice. We have been so impressed with their Support team's responsiveness.
Chose VanillaSoft
I have not been able to use any other systems like VanillaSoft and I am actually very happy about that. VanillaSoft does any and everything I need it to in order to work. What I like best about VanillaSoft is that it is so easy to navigate the system by the categories, …
Chose VanillaSoft
I have not used any other products like VanillaSoft. Since I have been with my company we have only operated with VanillaSoft. I assume this is because of the many benefits that come with working with VanillaSoft and lack of issues experienced over the years. I hope to continue …
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft is far more user friendly than any other CRM I have ever used. With GoldMine, CampusNexus, etc., we were never able to make changes ourselves. Any changes had to be made by developers. With VanillaSoft, you can completely customize the experience yourself and you …
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft is used for a different purpose than Revolution EHR, so it's hard to compare the two. VanillaSoft has been easier to learn how to use though.
Chose VanillaSoft
I haven't used any other products
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft is so much better than ViciDial overall.
Chose VanillaSoft
All these systems were great, but VanillaSoft in my opinion is less complicated, easier to use and navigate, as well as VanillaSoft is just as productive, fast and effective as the others are. Their customer support is second to none. I feel very very confident in trusting …
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft is the best sales-call data system. No other program keeps the salespeople as focused.
Chose VanillaSoft
VanillaSoft fits well with our smaller organization. It's user-friendly and easy to navigate. I will be exploring the rest of the features to train my team to get the most functionality it has to offer for us. I really like using the VS Connect as I've never used that type of …
Chose VanillaSoft
I have used Salesforce but feel that it is an old outdated platform. VanillaSoft has more capabilities that make it easy to do all your work from one platform. It's easy to see who you have contacted and what you did in your daily work. It has helped me build my pipeline fast …

Despite a few of the design/interface frustrations, Revenue.io (RingDNA) is a powerful that is well made and continues to improve. Conversation AI, while underutilized at our company, can provide great value to any Sales team if used correctly. I look forward to seeing what new changes come our way

VanillaSoft is well suited for the call center scenarios, it helps the representatives to keep all the leads information well organized and in one single place to speed up daily tasks efficiently and effectively. VanillaSoft is easy to set up, even someone who is new can have it up and running in minutes.

Pros
  • I can easily track the volume and methods of outgoing calls, thus being able to carry out a deep analysis of the calls that have been made every day.
  • Calls can be heard again and can also be forwarded to work colleagues within the same platform.
  • It has a friendly interface which allows easy learning for new users and thus to be able to adapt almost immediately.
Read full review
  • One of my favorite features is the ability to customize routing. Quite often a caller is told by a prospect to call back at a certain date and time, the caller can set that and the record will pop up in the front of the database on that date and time letting you know that you have a call to make.
  • We also send out information on behalf of our clients to prospects, which we do directly out of VanillaSoft. After the information is emailed the system will actually let us know when it was opened and moved that prospect record to the front of the database to be a priority in call rotation.
  • I also love that we were able to customize it so that the callers have everything they need to see right in front of them. We have a area that has the prospects information, name and address, then an area that has required information fields with questions the caller needs to ask and place answers in the appropriate fields, then we have an area with a notepad, an area to access the calendar, and an area that gives the caller all the previous activity on the record.
  • These are considered strengths for us as all of these examples make my job and the callers job much easier and saves us a ton of time and money.

Cons
  • It constantly logs out and forces me to log back in through both RingDNA and Salesforce before calling or texting anyone which requires a 2 step process. This can be prevented by logging into RingDNA at the start of each day before Salesforce, I just need to make this a habit!
  • When you go into "Contacts" in the dialer and search for someone, it does not predictively auto-populate Contacts based on what you have typed so far (unlike Salesloft, Outreach, etc) so you end up typing most of the contact's name each time when searching. Not a huge deal since I am primarily searching for people in Salesforce, but it would be nice to have this in dialer as well.

  • Telephone numbers should contain dialing code in same column when exporting.
  • Should be easier to import dialing code for telephone numbers by country code.
  • Data should automatically mark other contacts closed when an appointment is scheduled with that company (should say 'having appt').

We have no reason not to renew. VanillaSoft has been the best CRM (for us) that we have ever used. The value is great, we love the system, and it's easy to get assistance from VanillaSoft team when needed. Our team is so used to the calling and admin functions there is no desire to change.

Usability
I can say that this platform has been a great help from the beginning of the implementation and has helped exponentially to grow as a company. At no time have we had problems at the beginning or any confusion when using this software for the first time, it has always been very easy to use its interface and tool. In case we don't know something, technical support has always been helpful.

The entire system is set up so perfectly. It makes training callers much quicker, and admin tools are so easy to navigate when you get used to using it. Also, if there is ever something I cannot figure out, I can get support from VanillaSoft very quickly to resolve and get my task accomplished.

It is very rare that we have system issues. Maybe a handful of times over the years, we had to contact support about being unable to access. It was always a quick response from the VanillaSoft team, and they would clearly explain the issue and usually give time frame on fixing, or have it fixed immediately.

VanillaSoft has very similar offerings to Outreach in terms of usability and opportunities for streamlined prospect engagement. The main differences lie with their user experience, customer service, and how information is presented through the platform in terms of knowledge base and analytics. Both are suitable tools, the differentiation comes down to preference of interface and data presentation.

Scalability
Overall, Revenue.io is a highly scalable platform that can adapt to the needs of businesses of varying sizes and industries. The program handles large volumes of data and users, making it suitable for companies with complex revenue management needs. Moreover, the cloud-based infrastructure allows the platform to scale up or down quickly based on changing business needs.
