### Most mentioned pros

- The call management tools, recordings, and quality tracking make it easy to improve performance while knowing exactly which campaigns drive real leads.
- I loved CallRail's simplicity. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of a major platform, it's simplicity allows it to be the perfect option for an entry level business needing a solid call platform.
- What I like most about CallRail is how it ties calls and SMS directly to marketing results.

### Most mentioned cons

- Teaching other team members and sharing account access has been a little difficult, also generating reports can be challenging.
- Recently, I was stunned to discover that my account had been switched to annual billing, leading to an unwelcome and substantial charge of over $1,600.What makes this situation egregious is that I never authorized the switch from monthly to annual billing.
- If you have a complicated marketing system, CallRail can get overwhelmed with the dynamic number insertion and may provide contradictory information between "Sources" and "Numbers".

What I liked least about CallRail is that pricing model. For smaller teams, the cost can scale faster than expected if you’re running multiple campaigns.

### Great Option for smaller Call Centers

- Overall rating: 5/5

I used CallRail for many years before my call center outgrew what they offered. That being said, I would absolutely recommend CallRail to a smaller center that isn't looking for a call platform so big that it can be cumbersome. CallRail was simplistic, cost effective, and had many perks that other smaller platforms did not do as well at (think phone trees/IVR customization, marketing number pools, high level reporting)

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I loved CallRail's simplicity. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of a major platform, it's simplicity allows it to be the perfect option for an entry level business needing a solid call platform.

#### Cons

My disclaimer is that I haven't used CallRail in over a year, but when I did use them, they had limited reporting options. One key insight I needed was into individual rep performance, which CallRail did not provide.

### Easy to use and great data gained from all types of marketing campaigns.

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Chris C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: 3-5 years · daily
- Reviewed: March 2018
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Several years ago, call tracking used to be done by hardcoding the tracking number into your website and that is not ideal for SEO. However, when I stumbled upon CallRail I fell in love with the ease of use, SEO-friendliness, and call data. The dynamic number insertion is so clutch! I currently have over 100 websites using CallRail and it is crucial to proving the value of my marketing efforts.

#### Cons

The reporting takes a little time to get the hang of, but once you've got it down - it isn't too bad.

#### Pros

We like that it has a text messaging and a calling functions, the multiple numbers and how easy it is to create call flows. The layout of the calls on the main dash board is intuitive as well.

#### Cons

It's not the most reliable software, we've had many issues where things don't work according to plan. Plus it could do better as being a more powerful call software and include the ability to put people on hold or transfer calls if need be. We are always on the look out for something better but unable to find it so these guys are doing something right.

### CallRail Not Intuitive or Feature Friendly

Not good. We are leaving CallRail to go to another call tracking service.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

System uptime was good. The technical support individuals know their product and were very helpful.

#### Cons

As a "manager" I initially had all the access I needed to administer my specific clients. Arbitrarily, CallRail starting revoking permission for various admin functions without notifying me or my Corporate offices. Since this was occurring soon after migrating to CallRail, I assumed I was not doing something correctly. I would go to Corporate for support and they could not figure it our either and went to CallRail support only to be told it was a function no longer available to "managers". This put a burden on Corporate and diminished my ability to react to my customers needs in a timely way. Also, the reporting is severely lacking. To get a list of active clients, I or Corporate must manually create the data. When I delete a client, CallRail does not delete them from the list of call tracking users. I have to manually verify the number of active users. There are so many issues with CallRail regarding a poorly designed and non-user friendly system.

I would use any other software for tracking phone calls in the work place.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Its the easiest software I have ever used in a professional setting where your business is able to record calls and play them back to multiple people. Many of us listen to them and are able to learn from them. Were also able to track whether or not they're a good lead for our business or not, which is super helpful to know and keep tabs on.

#### Cons

The one biggest con is you need internet access to listen to the call, which I understand but can be difficult at times. I dont really have many complaints about the software. Its great.

#### Pros

As an agency that's built its client list around Search Advertising expertise, we long struggled with ways to coach our small to medium-sized clients on the importance of lead scoring. When we discovered CallRail, it was almost like someone had purposefully designed a tool to permanently end our struggles. With CallRail, all of the minutiae of call tracking and scoring is handled by an easy and intuitive system. The options are right there for scoring and playback is as simple a process as could have been created. Seriously, the controls are large, pronounced, and impossible to misinterpret. That's good UX right there. Now, we have a system that allows our clients to exercise Quality Control and gives us the data we need to prove ROI to clients who have a hard time making the connection between lead generation and closing the deal. After all, as a Paid Search agency we can only deliver the leads, we can't close them. So, we recommend CallRail to every single client we have ' no matter what they sell.

#### Cons

Better support for agencies that manage accounts, better admin system for multiple users, having to use multiple browser can be frustrating.

I've been a user of Callrail since 2012. At first, the functionality of knowing how many calls my consulting customers were receiving from various Internet properties was more than exciting. In the last few months, I've activated Dynamic Number Insertion, which solved a big problem with my Local SEO vendor. And now I've gotten into Keyword Pooling, which defines the source of the visit.

Interface isn't my favorite. It's detailed, but it does take a bit to navigate across and find exactly what you need. If that gets cleaned up, then it will be the best option by far in call forwarding and recording.
