What do you like best about Cradle.io?

The tight integration with Google, Hubspot and Xero Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cradle.io?

The only negative I have experienced is that it is too easy to change your personal greeting on your voicemail using the mobile app. I have inadvertently re-recorded my personal greeting with some background noise, which is not very professional if someone calls while this is live.

What do you like best about Cradle.io?

The user interface and experience are excellent. It's so easy to use and performs so much better than the $25,000 IP telephony system it replaced in our company. Their support is really good too but you won't need it once you're up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cradle.io?

A small request would be to show the Company the calls are coming to. We have two businesses on the Cradle system. This only applies to mobile. This detail shows on Desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cradle.io:

Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cradle.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Combining two businesses into one system that supports our global operations and remort workforce. We have people across multiple offices and it feels like we're all together. The integration with HubSpot means we have all the information we need in our pocket. Then there are the cost savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cradle.io?

I like that it utilises other software which has contact details so when the call is coming through we have caller ID. The function where it remembers the last person the client spoke to and pushes the call directly to them saves so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cradle.io?

That we have to use Hubspot and Xero to store our contacts in, it would be easier if cradle had this function so we don't have to use the other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cradle.io:

Do it! It is such an easy system to use and couldn't imagine a better product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cradle.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been so beneficial seeing who is calling because we are then able to establish who they might want to speak to, see if they're free or if they cannot speak with the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needs ability to send texts to customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cradle.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Cradle we were having the problem that our US customers were not answering our calls (from New Zealand). We tried other VOIP because they were expensive or poor quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cradle.io?

The setup is simple, the quality is great, the customer support is very responsive - they are quick to fix any issues or implement changes that we suggest - and it makes our customer's experience talking with us far better than what we had with the old way of desk phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cradle.io?

There isn't much to dislike really. It just works. They had some issues with the app restarting mid call for a while and this caused some calls to be cut, but that was fixed quickly. It would also be good to have a notification on each call as to who answered the call when it is directed at multiple people, sometimes you might have many people 'missing a call' but not knowing that someone actually took it. It sounds like this is already being worked on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cradle.io:

It is very easy to try and the team will help you get setup to test it. Would also recommend a good headset if using it within a crowded office. They seem to have integrated it well with a couple of headsets which we are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cradle.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a system that was scalable for our business. Something that would allow us to quickly implement across the world and at the same time quickly change when our customers required us to do something better. Now we have a solution that allows our team to be in contact with our customers wherever there are in the world. It also means our people don't need to be tied to a desk to be 'at their desk'.

That our customers calls are being answered and problems solved much faster than ever before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use on the road in rural areas is not as great as in the Wifi of an office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cradle.io:

The impact can vary and new opportunities can be available as you explore Cradle - the team need to understand it and use it to get the benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cradle.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clients were frustrated at response times and getting in touch with the right people to get problems solved. We now have seen a dramatic increase in both spreading the workload over the te wider team and speed in getting solutions for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
