Jamie: My name is Jamie, I'm the president. I'm going to give Dialpad five stars. And for more reviews like this, click below. Prior to Dialpad, we were using an old fashioned copper landline phone system in an office. And we were using cell phones when we were not in the office. One of the big problems we had, as so easy as it sounds, is it didn't integrate with my system, so we had to physically dial and had a lot of missed dials and wrong numbers. And then you also had people dialing our landline number, which is different than our cell phone numbers. We decided we needed a system like Dialpad because we wanted a single system. Whether we were in our office, working in a Starbucks, working at home, on the road, from our office phone, from our computer, from a cell phone, one thing that worked for all. Very pleasantly surprised how easy it was to integrate Dialpad, both as a cell phone app and on the computer. And it easily integrated with the other recruiting software that we used. It was extremely easy. I am not overly technical, and it worked flawlessly without even a need for help desk support. Strongly consider Dialpad, even over some of the bigger names that are out there that they compete with. The support is excellent when needed, but I've needed it very little. It integrates flawlessly. It sets up nicely, and the price is right. I would absolutely give it serious consideration.

Allen E.: I'm Allen, President of Premier Spine and Sport, and I give Twilio a five. Prior to using Twilio, we were texting our customers manually, which was very time-intensive trying to figure out who to text, when to text. It was nothing convenient about it or efficient, so we were looking for a solution to help us streamline our SMS campaigns efficiently. The reason we chose Twilio was because a lot of my other colleagues were using them. They had great experience with it. We looked at a couple other softwares, but honestly, Twilio just came out of top. Onboarding Twilio was really easy. It's just a matter of signing up for an account, getting a phone number, and then using their API to basically connect it to your software. But it was pretty easy to get started. If you're looking to do SMS campaigns with compliance, because I know there's a lot of rules now around spam messaging, just get Twilio. It saves you a lot of time, a lot of headache. They actually make sure that you don't get into the spam then.
