    If you need to find a test candidate for your client quickly, this is one of the best ways. Pull yourself a hot list of a couple hundred potential candidates and load them in to CallFire. Then get ready to hit about 50-60 calls per hour. You should have a great test candidate for your client in about 24 hours! It's amazing how quickly you can show your clients the true speed of your company.

    Good for any situation where there are multiple employees who need to be reached by customers or in-house. Also cuts down on Robo calls because they typically can't / don't press numbers to choose from a menu. Can't really see this system being worth the price in a smaller-sized operation though, as there are far cheaper options that provide a much nicer management interface.

    Pros
    CallFire
    • CallFire provides detailed analytics that show what/when callers select within the phone system
    • The text message broadcast feature is a game changer. This allows a company to dispatch text campaigns with specific calls-to-action, with tracking analytics.
    • The voice broadcast feature allows a mass automated message to be sent to client phones. This saves a lot of time when the same notification needs to go out to multiple clients.

    • Makes it easy to send and receive phone calls, setup extensions, and generally handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
    • You're able to receive business calls wherever you go, whether you're in your office or on your mobile device.
    • The Voicemail to Text feature generally works well enough for you to know what a message is about without having to listen to it.

    Cons
    CallFire
    • The services are easy to use and robust, but there is room for improvement. Unfortunately, not much has changed over the last 2 years of use. There haven't been any new features or innovations in that time.
    • API integration and automation is not easy for most folks to jump into and there is very little technical support or documentation to take advantage of such features.
    • The standard reports are generally sufficient, but there isn't any customization or intelligence available.

    • Not a fan of the poly phones
    • I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

    CallFire has a pricing structure that is attractive to us as a small business. The "pay as you use" options helps us keep our overhead low, especially with so many softwares already in our tech stack. It's a tremendous value for the cost!

    I have switched now to MagicJack for business, while their support might not be the most amazing either we are very satisfied with the service/cost relationship and this has been a major game-changer. I am certain that Comcast has a larger client base that they have to look for that might be creating much more significant revenue. We have faced similar situations with other vendors and have found better solutions with smaller, shelving solutions that seem to cater more closely to clients.

    Return on Investment
    CallFire
    • I sent out a broadcast message pretty deep in our data base, well three years out. I had one customer come in and buy thanking me for contacting her.
    • Our holiday season was up 35% over last year, this year we used CallFire more than we did in the past.

    • In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
    • In my opinion, it's a total waste of time and money.
