Dialpad

Dialpad, A Phone System You Must Try!

Comments: Overall, hands down one of the best VoIP systems I have ever used. Customer support is even great.

Pros:

Best functions in Dialpad I love would be alerts/notications, accepting and placing calls, and messaging.

Cons:

Honestly, Dialpad is great. I don't hqve any negatives to say about using them as a phone system.

Dialpad Delivers Seamless Communication

Comments: It is cutting-edge communication platform that combines user-friendly design, cloud-based accessibility, and advanced features to deliver a seamless and efficient solution for modern team collaboration.

Pros:

There is a great intuitive interface, cloud-based accessibility, and robust features Calls made using the platform are clear and the video calls and AI-driven transcription services are stellar.

Cons:

Monthly price can get pretty high as each feature is done piecemeal.

Tactics DO Not Sign UP-Beware Deceptive Sales

Comments: I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Dialpad. From the beginning, they lied to me to trick me into a contract with them. I was explicitly told that I would be able to add and remove users as needed for my business. However, this turned out to be a blatant lie. After adding users and then attempting to remove them just three days later, I was informed that I am now obligated to pay for the additional licenses, even though I am not using them. These licenses are now permanently added to my contract, contrary to the false assurance I was given that I could cancel at any time. Getting a hold of someone on the phone or receiving any form of customer support is practically non-existent. They only seem interested in talking to new customers, likely because they aim to trap as many people as possible into these deceitful contracts. Once you're in, they don't care about helping you out. The customer service is abysmal; they have no real interest in resolving issues or providing genuine assistance. I am now stuck paying over $300 for just 3 lines that I am using, while being contracted to pay for 7. On top of that, transferring your toll-free number is not free as they misleadingly imply—you have to pay additional fees to receive calls to your toll-free number. It is really messed up that a company would use such deceptive tactics to trick customers. I am determined to leave a review everywhere I possibly can to warn others about this platform. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else! Dialpad is not worth the headache and the hidden costs.

Pros:

It is all a scam i don't like the way they use deceptive tactics to trick new customers into contracts

Decent Service - Terrible to cancel

Pros:

Relatively easy admin. Extendability (api , integrations)

Cons:

Customer service is a nightmare. Took me days to cancel when i no longer needed the service. Was eventually going to resubscribe my team but the way they handled customer service turned me off.

Great product great team

Comments: I love Dialpad and their desire to do business and make and keep us as customers.

Pros:

I love that Dialpad literally worked with my company to get us out of our terrible contract with our previous VoIP and that allowed us to setup and configure a call center. Call center and documentation and auditing is great for giving peace of mind and accountability to our employees and customers.

Cons:

There was literally nothing I disliked about Dialpad. Dialpad is a great system and great for the price.

Love Dialpad and will never turn back!

Pros:

I love the simplicity and ease of use that makes using Dialpad easier than using a normal landline office phone. It is easy to move throughout the app and explore all the features, and you can seamlessly move your calls throughout your office/organization with no hassle or extra steps. Whether you are using it for yourself or as an office/company phone system it is an effective tool that makes the crucial communication flawless and simple. 10/10 recommend

Cons:

I don't have anything bad to say about dialpad, except maybe adding a software that allows you to sent mass texts in a non-group text setting. Which to be fair, I am sure they probably have it and I just do not know how to use it though.

AVOID!!! THESE GUYS ARE VERGING ON SCAMMING HIDING BEHIND SMALLPRINT

Comments: VERY POOR - DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE. I SUSPECT THEY ARE FACING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES HENCE THESE VERY CUSTOMER HOSTILE TERMS

Pros:

Interface is slick compared to the previous product we used

Cons:

We started with 20 licenses and as our business grew we increased to 50. Now our business isnt as big and we're trying to reduce licenses back down to 20 and they continue to charge for 50 - I genuinely thought this was a mistake but NO! They legit think its ok to state that I can only reduce user count at contract renewal in 3 years! These terms were buried in the smallprint and their customer support is useless. Our supposed account manager just avoids us, the original sales person that neglected to tell us this very important detail has left the company. I am basically having thousands of dollars stolen from me by these absolute rogues - this is verging on criminal

Dialpad - good and getting better

Comments: Ok. Relible service. I just don't update or use some features because they are hard to figure out.

Pros:

price at first. Now it is a bit more expensive. I liked the voicemail transcription.

Cons:

It is not very intuitive to set up voice mail and call routing and other features.

I love Dialpad!!

Comments: I think I can speak for both myself and my team when I say Dialpad was an excellent addition to our tools we use everyday to be productive and successful.

Pros:

Dialpad makes my dialing and communicating with clients so much easier! The AI technology paired with the user friendly designed and functions make my life so much easier.

Cons:

I will you could email clients out through Dialpad!

Decently priced

Comments: Overall, Dialpad is of good value and they off a BAA which I need as a therapist.

Pros:

Dialpad is cost efficient and is overall easy to use. The chat feature is convenient and useful to send reminders for sessions.

Cons:

The video conferencing is not as easy to use as I had hoped. I contacted tech support and still was unable to resolve the issue.

They will hold you hostage.

Pros:

Be very cautious when entering into an agreement with Dialpad. Dialpad has a great product. However, they will hold you hostage should you want to make any changes to your account. We have doubled the number of users but our price has gone up more than 10x what we were originally paying in 2020. They are charging us for things we don't want, don't need. They keep telling us they will downgrade and then they don't. They literally will not respond to you for months. We have been going back and forth for 9 months on this.

Cons:

Ethics. The people on our account have been not wonderfully helpful.

Doea not work, & customer service can not fix.

Comments: It seemed to work well for the first year. Now it fails at least 90% of the time. And for a company that claims to have great AI, when you call for customer service you have to identify yourself EVERY TIME you get transferred. They can't even manage to transfer your credentials internally. So much for AI.

Pros:

It 'seemed' like an affordable option for call recording.

Cons:

HIGH failure rate. Most often the calls never connect & on the small percentage that do, the person on the other end can't hear me. ALSO IMPORTANT - don't be fooled by the cost they quote. In addition to all the miscellaneous charges, they have a fee they charge for 'Administrative Cost Recovery'. In other words, our price isn't really our price because that isn't enough to cover costs, so we will add on a fee. My $180/year service was actually $270!

Lacking in customer support and basic functionality

Pros:

Relatively easy to set up and manage. Call quality seems to be good for the most part.

Cons:

Customer support is not responsive and our Account Manager and the [sensitive content hidden] , have been less than helpful. Call center functionality is not good. Texting back and forth to customers from shared lines is very difficult.

Choose someone else

Pros:

None, we left openphone and regret the decision to do so. Going to go to aircall where hopefully their callback queue actually reflects the people that need calls back. Even after refreshing, customers that colleague A called back, colleague B would see that they needed a call back.

Cons:

No SMS notifications, callback queue has never matched from user to user. It's almost like every user has to manage their own callback queue, but person A doesn't get notified that person B has already called them back and spoke with them.

All time WORST customer experience

Comments: Literally my worst customer experience ever, third world countries without internet respond faster.

Pros:

they are awful people do not recommend.

Cons:

I would never write out things like this unless pushed to absolute limits. Dialpads structure for customer support is fraudulent. I spent over 2 months trying to cancel a membership, painfully slow responses, continually took unauthorised payments off my credit card and now gaslighting me when I asked for a refund saying they can't process payments after 3 days. They're dogs.

DailPad- great call center management system

Comments: Happy with my experience with DialPad. Easy to implement and maintain.

Pros:

Love the ease of use, reporting and C-STAT scoring. All around great system. Would recommend for any size call center. Large or small

Cons:

They have brought their reports a long way. Overall happy with the system.We have had several account manager shifts, so we have had to work through communication shifts.

terrible customer service

Comments: extremely poor, the loss in productivity cost the business thousands

Pros:

not a lot, couldn't get it working correctly because we could never get onto customer service

Cons:

their customer service, took then 8 weeks of constant emails to run a simple test for us

From good to bad and the ransom techniques they use

Comments: Terrible support, borderline mafia style sales techniques, terms changing constantly even if you are a customer paying over 50K a year or more... terrible company built of top of twilio.

Pros:

At the beginning, years ago, we went all in with this. we thought it was refreshing good solution compared to all the other players.

Cons:

They will hold you ransom once you use them at scale. They will force you to pay for licenses you do not need, misrepresent contracts and make it as difficult as possible to get out of their grip. The software absolutely will let you down. Do not use for anything that requires reliable communication in your company.

Gets the job done

Pros:

The call recording helps greatly with customer service issues and training csr.

Cons:

It is a little expensive per seat and for all features.

Cloud-Based Office Phones Increase Productivity

Pros:

I admit I was somewhat hesitant for our office to move from a traditional phone system to a cloud-based one. After using Dialpad for nearly a year, I honestly can't remember why I had hesitations in the first place! This system makes my work communication simple and efficient. I'm in and out of the office all the time, so it's been great to be able to answer work calls wherever I am. Our staff uses the messaging function to interact with each other on team projects. I love the fact that you can easily look over your call history list and edit call information to the name of the caller -- I don't have the need to scribble phone messages on paper anymore because it's all conveniently on the app! In addition to receiving voicemails on your phone, you can get emails including them too, so if you need to pass the message on to a co-worker, it's just a simple email forward away. Another awesome feature is the call data. You can track how many people are calling your organization during a specific time period, what percentage of those calls are getting answered, and who in your organization is making the most calls, along with much more data. These metrics can be used in a variety of ways to make your staff more efficient and engaged. The interface is easy-to-use and understand. Once you have the app on your device and configured appropriately, it's nearly problem-free. It makes me more accessible to our clients and helps keep our team on the same page -- what's not to love?

Cons:

The number one issue you will need to get used to using this product is the slight delay that happens from when you speak your words to when they are actually heard. This results in a lot of accidental talking over your caller, but once you use the product for a while, you will get the hang of it. You can set up the app to use wifi or your calling plan. If you use your calling plan (which you must when you are away from a wireless router), you can get calls with bad connection or even drop a call. If you do have an issue during your call, you have the ability to give the call a one to five star ranking. If you rank the call low, you can add details about the problem, and then support will take a look and try to address the problem if possible. So there are issues, but I think the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives.

Dialpad Review

Comments: Overall, the experience with Dialpad is quite positive. We came from another in house VOIP solution, and knowing that you always have someone ready to help you , gives you peace of mind. It does what its supposed to do, and the majority of the time it does it well!

Pros:

One of the best features Dialpad has to offer is the ability to integrate with other services. Single sign on makes accessing Dialpad a breeze, and with GSuite requires one less password for myself, and all of our users. We all have so many passwords that we need some form of software to maintain them all! Interaction with other users through Gsuite, Salesforce, and many others also show up in the main interface allowing users to quickly go back to files, or conversations they recently had with other users. Unified communications is big in today's world and Dialpad handles it quite well. There is a decent variety of equipment that you can use with Dialpad, but it also allows us to completely remove the desk phone which is a nice touch, especially considering the types of work envoironments we have where users can chose where they would like to work. Last but not least, and at the core of its functionality the basic phone system. While allowing users to transfer calls amongst people, you are also able to transfer between devices, which means that, when your 1-2 meeting runs long, you can move your call to a mobile device if you need to get going. Overall the system is quite robust, and provides all the functionality one could ask for!

Cons:

Its hard to list many cons, as we have only ever experienced a few, but here they are. Not all bluetooth, or wireless headsets play well with Dialpad. We have had to switch the headsets that a handful of our users depend on. That being said, once you have found one that works well, there are no problems. One other problem that we have encoutered is dropped calls, or unresponsive application. Most of the time, a simple restart of the application, or computer will resolve these issues, but they are still issues. Last but not least, the frequent updates. While it is good to continuously provide important updates, it feels like there is one every week, and not all users are comfortable with making these changes.

Day 1 and we had to drop them

Comments: Horrible. They were very helpful during the sales process but the second we actually tried to use it, we realized how horrible it truly was. Now we have to port to a new service.

Pros:

We liked that it gave the option to integrate with Clio

Cons:

The first day we had to submit three support tickets because nothing was working properly Within the first hour of having our number ported we noticed we couldn't get call routing activated to forward all calls to our answering service so the three employees of our firm had to man the phones while Dialpad figured out what to do Then we noticed all the problems with the text messages. It doesn't organize the messages by threads (like it does on your phone or any other messaging service). Instead it just shows all your individual messages which was a clustered mess. Also if you were the last person to send a message then you have no way of knowing who the text conversation is with unless you click on the text (It shows your name instead of your contact's name because you sent the last message). Finally, none of our contact's names were popping up on the messages, just their phone numbers. Even when we had contacts synced and knew for a fact that number had an assigned contact, we still weren't seeing people's names on the messages tab. BUT THE WORST THING OF ALL WAS THE DAMN DEFAULT DIALPAD NUMBER. We ported over our business line and that was set as the default lines for outbound calls which was perfect. But for God knows what reason, Dialpad won't let you set a main line as the default line for outbound text messages. The only way you can text from your main line is by manually changing it every time you want to send a text. Finally, the customer service blowsssss

It is not perfect but it is a great tool for doing long distance telephone call

Comments: I use it every day and it works well sometimes and when that happens, I am able to make a sale. I also like that you are able to record your call and even if you forget to record the call, it can automatically translate your call into a written conversation which is nice when you are dealing with sales and agreement

Pros:

You can contact clients regardless of where they are even if they do not have an internet connection since it acts as a telephone call and not an internet call

Cons:

The connection sometimes is very bad and there is so much latency and issues when I use wireless headphones. My wireless headphone works well on my other software. Also, there are some phone numbers that you are not able to send a message to which could be helpful since dial pad can send text messages.

Has been a great piece of software for my business

Comments: This software has allowed me to spin up or down business operations with the flip of a switch, and gives you a VERY full featured office phone solution for a fraction of the price of other companies. When comparing this to hardline phone systems, I honestly don't know why any company wouldn't just use this instead (as long as your computer has an ethernet connection).

Pros:

I like that the software is affordable, reliable, and accessible in many different ways. I use it as the main business line for my company and adding/removing users is super easy, creating a main line is easy, and having access to your phone via apps anywhere you are is fantastic. I also am very impressed with their quality and their customer support. I was having an issue with call quality, and I couldn't tell if it was my bluetooth headphones or my wifi. Their team got REALLY technical digging into the transmission details from my call, and told me there was a lot of chatter on the wifi. I ended up just running an ethernet cable and have literally zero problems anymore.

Cons:

The mobile app is good, but somehow not as reliable as the desktop software. I've had some issues making calls, and turn around and dial from my regular phone number and it works fine. I would suspect this has something to do with the fact that Dialpad uses internet instead of the regular phone line, but if I have plenty of LTE signal for a phone call I would think Dialpad would also work. As a result I generally just feel safer taking important calls from the desktop.

Dialpad is a perfect solution for any business

Comments: We subscribed to Dialpad when we moved office suites. And it immediately became a very productive tool. I
had to travel for business and the mobility was very useful. I had all my call history, my notes, all at my fingertips. And when I received a call in the office, and it was too loud, I simply clicked on my cell and continued the conversation while walk. And the biggest advantage to productivity came when Covid-19 hit, because all the staff are working from home, still using the same numbers, the same process and the same way as if we are in the office. The common INBOX makes everyone aware of everyone else's communications, and the private phone numbers keep sensitive work separate. It has kept us going in these difficult times. And the one thing I really like the most? I can be anywhere in Europe and my NYC number will ring when someone calls.

Pros:

What we like most about this product is that it is intuitive and versatile. We ported out two business numbers, and we also received each our own cell number which is great to use for business. We can use it on the road, at the office and while traveling, so its perfect, we never miss a call. And by setting up groups we can put one phone on "do not disturb" and still have others answer, plus we can roll over to our personal phones. We have it running in our workstations and smartphones and it is so easy to answer in one and continue the conversation, seamlessly, in another simply by clicking a button. I usually answer through my laptop and if I need to walk away, I can simply just switch to my mobile in real-time. And I can text while I am speaking to a person, multi-task, or simply click a number and dial through it and then make a note on the screen. It remembers everything we do! This system's sound is crystal clear and it simplified our business. The support is also worth noting, they respond quickly and have resolved every single inquiry successfully and efficiently.

Cons:

I think some of the options should be included in every solution, for example, the dictionary. Other than that I cannot find anything I dislike.
