Comes with 20+ features, like phone extensions, call routing, ACD, or smart dialers. Although we couldn’t get an exact number, Twilio claims to integrate with any CRM or customer database.

It’s a close call, but we believe that the wide range of auto-dialers (Preview, Progressive, Power, Predictive) make Five9 a significantly better tool for teams with a large number of outgoing calls.

G2 Reviews proof

The transition to CloudTalk was super smooth. Actually, agent productivity grew by 10% just as a direct result of the switch. We thought our sales team couldn’t handle more than 15 daily leads, but this year, on some days, they took care of 30 and even won more deals.

Franco Viale Leyva
Head of Commercial Performance at Poliglota

Our call volume tripled in only 2 years. Today, our agents get around 100,000 calls per quarter versus 30,000 back in 2020. With CloudTalk, we can now handle all of this communication easily. It was an excellent choice.

Frederico Lopes
Head of Customer Service at DiscoverCars

CloudTalk has grown on us from the very first moment. It’s a part of our daily workflow. Everyone in the company finds uses for it. From sales to support or onboarding. Without CloudTalk, we wouldn’t provide such outstanding service.
