CallRail vs. Chorus by ZoomInfo

This is great software for differentiating where phone traffic is coming from. Whether it's paid/organic search, you can see exactly where the calls are coming in from. I'd love to see them add text/SMS features in the future, but it does what it claims. I'd also like to see more CRM integrations, but not sure that other users share the same sentiment

As someone who is involved in many calls with CIOs or administrators discussing ERP or EMR integrations, compliance workflows, or digital transformation initiatives, these conversations involve complex technical discussions, multiple stakeholders, and long sales cycles where capturing detailed requirements and follow-up commitments is crucial. Having sales intelligence benefits the complexity of the buying process.

• Reporting - We love the breakdown for attribution and sources for calls. CallRail makes reports easy to understand and lets you share them with clients.
• Call Tracking - This may be obvious, but you get so many options with CallRail in terms of your number pool, recording options, picking your numbers, etc. It gives you the metrics you care about and they haven't experienced any calls mis-forwarding.
• Support - With other companies, I've had to wait for days and days to hear back. With CallRail, they normally get back to us on our tickets fairly quickly and they have a great knowledge base for common questions too!

• Great job on putting the conversion metrics. It's a big help knowing our metrics in every meeting.
• We learned what areas need to be improved and also the strength we had during that conversation.
• It also provides the length of speech of each participants.

• Sometimes the automatic tagging can be wrong, in terms of whether it's a lead or not, or what the call was about.
• It's not an all-encompassing platform, and would be so much better if it weren't so isolated to its core functionality - would like to see some more integrations.
• Setting up the phone numbers can be difficult for some people.

Incentivized

• Languages, as I usually take calls in Spanish and/or French and Chorus doesn't always gets the right language
• The transcript isn't always optimal, but that's in rare cases
• I speak with a French accent when I make calls in English, and the system might not like it

It's hard for me to give anything more than a 5 at this point. The primary reason is that we have only used it for a few months and I'm still getting a feel for the level of value it provides both to me and the team. In 4 or 5 months I'll have a better understanding of its value long term

The platform is easy to use and we really don't have any complaints with using it so far. The information is invaluable for clients that rely on phone calls to drive more business. Not much negative to say about it at this point. We're actually really happy with it so far and the cost is manageable.

This was sold internally as something that would help us be more efficient. I had high hopes that the speech-to-text feature would be useful for getting call notes/next steps, etc documented. But due to the limitations of the software, these things would take longer using Chorus than if I just write things down manually - disappointing.

Fortunately, we had a lot of experience with CallRail. That in itself is an indicator that it has just worked for us, and done what the product is supposed to. We've never once wondered if the data was tracking accurately. This is unfortunately less common these days it seems, but we're happy with CallRail as a whole in our organization

I personally have not had too many major issues with Chorus, but the times that I have reached out to their customer support team I have always received great responses in a very timely manner. Their support team is trained in a very polite way and cares about resolving your issue. They are knowledgeable and helpful and the customer service line does not take long to connect to a real individual.

Like I noted in the other category, it has been smooth for the most part. But we really do enjoy the hard work of our CSM and everything he has been able to provide us in terms of support.

We have utilized Google call tracking within AdWords before, but considering it is a Google product, it can sometimes be biased. Having that third party vendor elevates that. Google Call tracking is only limited to running AdWords campaigns, so if we need to use a phone number in any other fashion within our business, it couldn't be used.

We looked at Gong but went with Chorus by ZoomInfo because it felt more practical for our team. Gong has great analytics, but Chorus by ZoomInfo fit better into our existing tech stack and budget. The deal notifications, scorecards, and integrations with Zoom and Salesforce made it the smarter pick. Overall, Chorus by ZoomInfo gives us the insights we need without feeling like overkill or another heavy lift.

• Historically, I used CallRail for hundreds of Clients and it allowed us to track more than 50% of conversions that came from a website for service style businesses. It's actually extremely eye opening to see how much comes in for phone calls for some types of services. With SaaS it's interesting to see how reliant on a human conversation people can be in order to make a decision about something so intangible.

Incentivized

• Increased confidence in those who interact with clients 1:1.
• Improved turnaround time for deliverables thanks to clearly defined expectations pulled directly from the transcripts and summaries.
• Improved ability of the marketing team to review client calls and determine client needs to target in future marketing materials.
