Easy meetings experience
With Dialpad, you can start or join meetings with one click whether youâre using the browser, desktop, or mobile app.
The full-featured browser app means meeting attendees (including clients and prospects) donât even need to download anything and can simply open the meeting link right from the web, whether theyâre using Google Chrome, Edge, Safari, you name it... Dialpad is one of the most accessible platforms out there.
Dialpadâs desktop and mobile apps work across iPhone (iOS) and Android devices, and PCs and Macs. Thereâs no email registration required eitherâguests can just enter their name and be ready to roll.
This is unlike Zoom, which pushes all meeting attendees to download the desktop app and register for a Zoom account. Also unlike Zoom, Dialpadâs video meetings are natively embedded into the app. No tab switching or navigation of separate windows required.
Dialpad also boasts intuitive features for better meeting facilitation including a meeting countdown timer, end of meeting reminders, automatic post-call summaries (that include audio and video recordings, and transcript), and more.

đ DIALPAD TIP:
Want to interact with other meeting participants without interrupting the speaker? With Dialpad, you can have a group chat (just open up the little chat message icon in the bottom left to start chatting)âalong with emoji reactionsâright in the meeting window.
Advanced meeting transcription
Dialpad and Zoom both offer live transcription on their Business plans. But theyâre not the same.
With Dialpad, you have the ability to view the full transcription, not just "closed captioning" as is the case with Zoom. Dialpad transcripts can also be accessed immediately after a meeting is over, and automatically captures action items and key questions in addition to the transcriptions (which have been shown to be more accurate than almost all competitors out there, by the way).
đž DIALPAD TIP:
If youâre interested in Dialpad or Zoomâs paid plans, consider if youâd prefer to pay on a monthly or annual basis. With Dialpad, you can pay month-to-month and cancel your plan at any time (though we donât think you will!) whereas Zoom requires you to pay for the entire year upfront.
A single app for everything
Dialpad is not only accessible via app, but can also be used with a web browser. Zoom customers are pushed to download an app, which not only provides a bad experience (especially for non-registered guests just wanting to join a meeting) but can also be subject to security vulnerabilities.
All of Dialpadâs communication functions (voice, meeting, message, cloud contact center functionality) exist on a single platform with a shared, common understanding of data, all infused with our built-in Dialpad Ai. (Itâs no wonder Dialpad won the 2021 TrustRadius award for best features and usability of any collaboration tool!) Zoom technically has one app as well, but you have to toggle between windows for the messaging, phone, and video features.
đ„ïž DIALPAD TIP:
Thinking of setting up a contact center in the future, or combining your existing contact center with your unified communications platform? Dialpad Ai Contact Center has you covered and seamlessly integrates into the same pane of glass you use to house the rest of your business interactions. Zoom now also offers a contact center platform but through a third party, so itâs entirely separate from its meetings software with little to no data sharing or integration.
Security and privacy
Speaking of security vulnerabilities⊠Zoom has made strides as a digital communications platform, particularly in its ability to introduce new features quickly. However, with the hurried roll-out of such features sometimes comes bugs and security risks.
For example, their venture into screen sharing left users vulnerable to private information leaking from non-shared applications. Similarly, the Zoom Windows client was discovered to be exploitable, exposing user passwordsâwhile Appleâs Mac OS Zoom app had a flaw that could be abused to install malware or eavesdrop through devices.
Many of the worldâs largest organizations (Google, NASA, and the FBI among them) now forbid or warn their employees against using Zoom, deeming it an unsafe platform. Not necessarily Zoomâs fault, but itâs an unfortunate side effect of its popularity for sure.

Integrations
Dialpad integrates with most of the business tools youâre likely using already. Of course, it integrates with Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 to make scheduling video meetings really easy. And if you're using other tools like a CRM to track customer interactions? Dialpadâs Salesforce integration lets you receive and make calls and texts straight from Salesforce.
Rely on a whiteboard for brainstorming sessions? Dialpadâs Miro integration lets team members brainstorm together while seeing each otherâjust as if you were all in a meeting room whiteboarding together:

A unique thing about Zoom is that they actually offer built-in whiteboardsâup to three for freemium users. It is a relatively new feature though, and not as sophisticated as Miro. Miroâs free plan offers up to three boards as well and, when integrated with Dialpad, works beautifully.
Award-winning customer support
Thereâs a reason why Dialpad won the StevieÂź Award for sales and customer service. First off, we've made Dialpad super easy to use, without IT help. It should just work. And in the rare cases where something does come up, our team is available Monday to Friday from 8 am - 5 pm EST (or 24/7 for our Business plans) to offer support through live chat, email, and phone. Not to mention our super detailed online help center if youâd prefer to find the answer yourself.
Zoom, on the other hand, has a help center for their freemium users but thatâs about it. Support tickets, live chat, and phone are only available to their paid customers. Their customers also report slow support times, with one reviewer stating it can take up to two days to hear back.
