Overall, I really like Kixie PowerCall. It's a great tool for quickly uploading contact lists and super helpful for SDRs as it saves a lot of time with automated dialing.
In the beginning, the software updates were during the day and during my peak calling times. I would have to reload the software and was frustrating.
It’s been great, especially when it comes to becoming a better salesman. The way you can listen to your calls and other peoples calls is extremely helpful.
Integrations with marketing analytics are missing. To be able to track performance from marketing campaigns and see CPA for every call.
On the support side I've been working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and he's been amazing. A huge help at customizing and optimizing the tool to fit our specific needs.
I had a hard time starting/learning to use the software.
We have had very few issues with their system and they are always quick to respond and help us with any issues we have. The ease of use and connectivity that Kixie provides is fantastic.
When the dial is up, below where you type in the number is the name of the previous person you called. At first I was confused on who I was calling.
Our experience with Avochato has been amazing. By far the best Customer Support I have ever had.
The biggest negative is that some people call the number after receiving a text, which does not work well.
My customers were very impressed with my quick response times as well. I love that I can text my customers either from the web dashboard, from the mobile friendly dashboard, or from the iPhone app.
Just an awful customer service experience all the way around. I would NEVER recommend such an awful company.
Support is great and the company is very responsive to needs of clients. This software has given us much more flexibility in communication and that has been a huge benefit to our office.
It was another way to contact clients. The downside again was having to do it one an individual basis.
It's been awesome, the customer support is A1 quality, they are responsive and solve your issues super fast. The pricing for the service is great.
When using through smartphone app it doesn't let you see your contact's tags and it can be annoying. It doesn't integrate with CRMs.
Jennie Z.: Hi, I'm Jennie, and I am the head of marketing. I would give Kixie a three out of five. And if you wanted to see more reviews like this, click below. Before using Kixie, we were just using Google Voice. We had a few other call tools that we were using as well, such as AnswerConnect. I believe we were using [Sakari 00:00:26] Voice before that, but what really sold us on Kixie was their integration with HubSpot. We chose Kixie because we liked how easily it integrated with HubSpot and then which allowed us to send automated SMS and the HubSpot workflows, and so when we get these leads coming in, our sales reps do try to do their best to try to get to them as quickly as possible. But we know that timing is key and so with Kixie we can send out automated SMS pretty quickly, and then we can say whatever you want within that SMS, which means that we can ask them for the best time to call. On top of that, we also can automate voicemails as well. So there's a few time-saving features that we do like with Kixie. I would definitely give probably, at least a 72 hour buffer with Kixie, especially if you are trying to keep the same office number. There is a bit of a transferring process that takes some time and then there is also a learning curve with Kixie. So [inaudible 00:01:46] Kixie can teach you how to use the app. There's an app version and a desktop version that works together. So it's not the easiest integration or setup process I've seen with a lot of tools, but once you can start going with it, then it's something that you're going to be using every day. I would say with Kixie, there are a few kinks that need to be fixed. I do believe there may be a smaller company than perhaps some of their competitors. Their app can be a little bit funky. What I would recommend really is just to keep up with customer support. I do believe that they can be a bit better with communicating any updates that they're doing. And so whenever there is an issue, reach out to their chat support and they can pretty much get you fixed right away, but having to keep tabs with that, which I wish it was the other way around. So if you like the automations, then I would definitely go with Kixie, but if you are concerned with being with a smaller company or a startup such as Kixie, then I would go for one of the competitors that have everything really ironed out.
Andrew K.: My name is Andrew. I'm a program manager at a software company, and I would give Avochato a five out of five rating. Before we started using Avochato, we were a very small scrappy team, and we were actually just using one of the team member's Google Voices account to send and receive texts with customers when we needed to. One of the main alternative products that we considered when we were looking at Avochato was called Skipio. The main reason that we didn't go with it was because the pricing wasn't great for a very small team like ours, though it would have been a better option later on as we grew. The main reasons that we went with Avochato were the pricing, and the compatibility with Zapier. The pricing was great for a small growing team like ours. It didn't have too high of a bar to get started. So we could kind of just pay for what we used. And the prices were very, very reasonable, and they stayed reasonable even as we grew quite a bit. And Zapier was another important thing for us because we use Zapier to automate a lot of these processes as they grew, and Avochato worked really, really well with Zapier. It was really easy to set up and really easy to create automated workflows and expand as we grew. Getting started without Avochato was super easy. I think we basically just read some help documentation on the website for maybe 20 or 30 minutes. We got our account provisioned. That was pretty much it. The rest of it, we just sort of added new features and took advantage of new features as we went along, but getting started and being able to send and receive our first texts took no more than 10 minutes. For people who are considering using Avochato, I would recommend thinking about two things, pricing and integrations. One, pricing is important when you start out, but you also have to think about where you're going to go, because if you're growing 10 X one year, you don't want to have to change SMS platforms if you don't have to. So make sure you pick something that works for you now, but will also work and make sense as you grow. The second thing is integrations. For our team, it was really important that the tool that we chose integrate with certain tools like Zapier. And again, this only gets more important as you grow. So make sure it's going to fit with your other tools that you use.
