CallSource vs. Marchex

Callsource has been great to work with since it's easy for us to sort the reports by client, and hand them out accordingly. If you need tracking numbers for campaigns, and if you want the bonus feature of listening to phone calls then it's great.

Marchex does a fantastic job of offering stable and consistent Call Analytics data along with friendly, helpful, and prompt service reps. Where Marchex falls short is the lack of great user experience and intuitive design.

• Marchex is really great at recording calls. Our clients can see if there are any internal issues to address with their own employees and systems in place. Many clients believed that the message was the issue but once they were able to listen to their calls, they saw that they needed more internal training on closing leads and making sales.
• Marchex is a really great solution to gauge the effectiveness of a message and which medium was more effective in delivering that message. For instance, we can let our clients know if their sales pitch worked best for driving leads through radio, tv, internet, etc.

• EXTREMELY SLOW!! Takes 10 minutes just to get logged in and set up a single number
• Phone numbers get spammed a lot and forces us to reprovision
• Reporting functionality is very weak

We renew Marchex each year, we love it! It's a great investment. It's woven into a few of our products that we offer our clients so we wouldn't stop using it any time soon. The clients are big fans of it

We currently use DialogTech and I would say that they are behind on CallSouce. CallSource was more robust in reporting and DialogTech does not offer the missed opportunities notifications. DialogTech also has a lag in the audio when calls come in. I am less pleased with DialogTech than I was with CallSource.

I believe that the way in which Marchex solutions are shown leaves you with a secure feeling that the service is accessible and easy to understand. This makes you choose it even among other platforms with more marketing disclosure. Undoubtedly, it is the service that makes you sure of the purchase.

• We are able to obtain and provide more detailed insight as to why our customers may be doing well/poorly with our products.
• I can't speak to this in terms of numbers or percentages, but I can say with confidence that it has assisted in saving many high risk accounts.

• Overall, like all call tracking, Marchex allows for determining what, if any, leads are coming through from channels. It hasn't lead to increasing ROI, just tracking it.
• The cost for Marchex is generally more expensive than other call-tracking software in the space. That being said, some of their features maybe a good addition for these businesses. However, the cost isn't as competitive.
• I do not have any complaints with the performance of Marchex, only with their on-rails experience, which tries to drive more people into more features than are necessary.
