I still can't believe it's free!
It allowed to make my calls with a predictive dialer with all the features you can imagine, eliminate my dependence on land lines, and have a system my agents could log in to locally or remotely.
Pros
First that you can download and install and use it completely 100% free, no strings attached. Second, it has every feature you could possibly imagine for dialing solution software and predictive dialers. Third, the reporting is all one 1 screen, there are many reports, inbound, outbound, carrier reports, etc. Fourth, they have a user forum where, and I kid you not, you can post a question or an issue you are having, and either a VICIdial expert or one of the other many experts on the forum will respond to your question usually within an hour or two, always that same day, and answer your question or help you work through your issue. Fifth, it's now the world's most popular dialing solution software, so you can find answers to about any question by just googling. Sixth, the hardware requirements are low. When I first installed VICIdial I used an old desktop and turned it into a VICIdial server. And seventh and maybe most importantly, VICIdial is constantly evolving. New revisions come out regularly, and new versions of the installer VICIbox are produced regularly, and they are new features constantly, and the program keeps getting better and better! In their next version of VICIbox they are offering a webrtc softphone built right into the program, so you won't need to download and configure softphones anymore. In summary, VICIdial is everything you always wanted in a predictive dialer or software dialing solution, and it is absolutely free of charge!
Cons
I installed VICIdial in March of 2017. It took me a weekend to set up campaigns, upload lists to call, configure a VoIP carrier, and put in the settings I needed for my campaigns. I installed on a Sunday afternoon and started dialing the next day on Monday morning at 9AM. And everything worked! Now it's June of 2018 and I've been using VICIdial for 1 year and 2 months. Although I got everything working the very first day, over time I have discovered the hundreds of features VICIdial offers and how to set them and configure them. The VICIdial system I use today is much different from the one I started with a year ago. Well the system is exactly the same, same operating system, same vicidial same asterisk, but I take advantage of many features now that I didn't even realize VICIdial had when I first installed it. If there is a con about using this software, and I do not believe there is, it would be VICIdial has so many features it takes a little time to learn all of them

a Swiss Army Knife for those who are creative enough to use it well
At GOSAT we use VICIdial in our contact center for loan sales to a local bank in Brazil, where we integrate it 100% with the bank.
We also use VICIdial on clients of different segments in the market: collection, petrol, school, health and etc ...
Pros
VICIdial is the most popular open-source Contact Center Solution in the world and it can become a Swiss Army Knife for those who grasp the infinite possibilities of this incredible system.
We were able to meet all our needs and overcome all challenges using VICIdial.
Cons
I know that VICIdial is not for this purpose, what I miss is an integration in the AGC interface (Agent) with WhatsAPP and Facebook messanger.
We do this today through other solutions, it would be perfect integrated with VICIdial.

Powerful Inbound & Outbound Dialing Platform
ViciDial is a dialer platform that I recommend to anyone in the call center industry. It is a simple yet powerful platform that will be an effective tool for inbound and outbound dialing in your call center.
Pros
We have been using ViciDial for our digital marketing firm for years. Vici is an easy to learn dial software that allows for open source integration. ViciDial has allowed us to integrate live call stats into our CRM software as well as many other pertinent features that help overall workflow. My favorite part of ViciDial is the user-friendly interface for both admin and agents.
Cons
I would have to say the only complaint I have is that vici is not physically appealing. The interface looks a little dated, but nonetheless does not affect work flow or productivity.

ViciDial
We are answering the calls efficiently and effectively. I am able to track agent performance at a high level to monitor performance and efficiency.
I have great hope to read the manuals and learn what else I can do with Vici.
Pros
Vici is easy to use and contains a significant amount of reporting to track agent efficiency.
Cons
The interface is outdated and could use a cosmetic overhaul. some of the reporting is inconsistent. The way abandonment is calculated in the real time main report is by taking dropped calls and dividing it into calls answered. Under inbound daily report it calculates the abandonment correctly by taking dropped calls and dividing it into calls offered.
Lacks some of the modern features available in other phone software: After Call Survey, Track short abandoned calls, Forced call backs, Scheduled reporting.
In the IVR we can only offer our customers to leave a voicemail with a window prompt instead of allowing them to press a number at any time to leave a vm.
Response from Vicidial Group
As for the inbound drop-rate, there are configuration changes you can make to have the Real-Time report use all-calls to calculate the drop percentage. The default behavior is to use Answered calls because the vast majority of VICIdial clients use outbound, and taking dropped calls out of Answered calls is a regulatory requirement in most countries.
Also, After-Call-Surveys and Force-Scheduled-Callbacks are available as standard features in VICIdial.

Great product, great performance, and great flexibility
I absolutely love VICIdial, I won't use any other dialer at all
Pros
The amount of customization that. you can do, and the sheer power of the dialing platform
Cons
It's got quite a learning curve for people to get proficient with it initially. Although once you've mastered the interface and the concepts behind the dialer, it's amazing.
