Frequently asked questions
RingCentral offers a more comprehensive solution for internal and external communications than Dialpad. We support more telephony use cases, offer the industry’s best contact center with 30+ digital channels, have world-class analytics, a large ecosystem of integrations, richer SMS and fax capabilities and competitive video solutions - helping them better connect with customers & colleagues alike. With RingCentral, you get so much more than that:
- - We offer the most complete set of cloud phone capabilities out of any UCaaS vendor. RingCentral’s VoIP phone is built for all advanced and niche use cases coupled with purpose-built voice and video AI and communications tools specifically for desk-less frontline workers.
- - RingCentral boasts an integrated messaging experience with our phone and video systems. Our superb team chat and SMS solutions include team messaging, task and event management, file sharing, advanced search function, presence status, unified business numbers, bulk SMS messaging, group MMS messaging, and more.
- - Opting for RingCentral video conferencing means you get to enjoy unlimited and 24-hour meeting sessions, HD and audio quality, AI capabilities (noise reduction, live transcriptions, post-meeting insights and summaries, presentation modes, etc.), cloud recordings and storage, whiteboards, collaborative meeting notes, end-to-end encryption, and browser support for a no download join.
- - Compliant and secure business SMS and internet faxing is included as a fully integrated and native solution for Standard and above packages. Transmit your faxes securely over an encrypted connection (TLS) and store them in a password-protected account. We understand that this is critical for sharing sensitive documents in many industries like healthcare, finance, legal, and government. Dialpad does not offer a native fax solution included.
- - RingCentral Webinar can accommodate up to 10,000 attendees for both internal and external events and can guarantee audience engagement through polls, Q&A, and live chat. RingCentral Webinar has webinar set-up, management, and analytics all done directly inside the RingCentral app – making it radically easy for webinar hosts and presenters to manage everything in one place.
- - RingCentral offers deeper, broader, and higher-quality voice integrations. This means you get a cloud phone on mobile, desktop, desk phone, and all the applications your business runs on like Salesforce, Hubspot, Zendesk, and more. RingCentral provides deeper capabilities which means you can access your softphone wherever you are - on your browser, in your favorite app - and your advanced calling, SMS, and fax features are embedded. Outside of voice specific, enjoy more than 500+ pre-built integrations, ~8K+ custom integrations, and our mature API ecosystem of more than 80K+ developers. Many customers come to RingCentral complaining that our competitors tout integrations, but they are half-baked, low quality, or missing critical components.
- RingCentral’s analytics are more actionable and meaningful compared to Dialpad. Though competitors do provide some level of reporting and analysis, only RingCentral offers comprehensive and integrated analytics for both the IT professional and line-of-business user. From a single interface, both user types enjoy significantly more detail, flexibility, and customization. Most of RingCentral’s analytics are included in our most popular packages, whereas many of our competitors' features are incomplete, disjointed, rigid, or can only be unlocked by paying additional fees.
- When it comes to CCaaS, customers choose RingCentral because they want an AI-powered contact center solution that delivers effortless experiences for customers, agents, and the business as a whole. RingCX provides a wider breadth of capabilities for inbound/outbound voice and enables unified customer journeys across 20+ available digital channels, all with predictable monthly pricing that includes unlimited domestic inbound and manual outbound minutes. It also provides omnichannel integration with popular CRMs for immersive agent experiences. RingCX is purpose-built from the ground up to deploy quickly and with minimal effort, removing barriers to entry for customers of all sizes. AI provides the next level customer experience by offering quality management and assistance across every interaction — allowing agents and supervisors to fine tune the customer experience in real-time.
RingCentral takes privacy and security seriously. In addition to keeping your communications secure through enterprise-grade encryption, we are backed by leading 3rd party certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, CSF, and more. We are the only solution to use industry-leading predictive AI/ML algorithms to detect and stop fraudulent robocalls and spam attacks. We’re the first to introduce innovations like end-to-end encryption to messaging and phone for groups, on any device.
While Dialpad offers appear to be lower at first however this doesn’t take into account the “hidden add-ons” need for a full suite of business communications like audio conferencing, a business VoIP phone system, business and high volume SMS, eFaxing, task management and team messaging, additional cloud storage etc. RingCentral’s package is more comprehensive and cheaper when you add together all the features you receive and the users you can accommodate. Plus, RingCentral provides options that cater to the needs of business of all sizes: small, medium, enterprises, and more.
A unified communications solution is crucial for any organization. With ever-changing employee and customer demands, an evolving business landscape, and growing needs, it is important to select a provider that offers the most financial and operational benefits.
