Can anyone recommend call recording software?

My current provider is proving very unreliable so I'm looking to change. Whilst my calls are recorded at the provider's end, they are not showing on my log in, and of course I need quick and easy access to my history in case my FCA-authorised partner firm asks me on the spot to provide a sample of calls.

Thank you!

Aircall and Dialpad are the best options:

Aircall

Pros:
Ease of Use: Aircall's interface is user-friendly, making it easy for small teams to manage and access call recordings without extensive training.
Integration: It integrates well with other business tools commonly used by small companies, such as CRM systems and helpdesk software, streamlining workflows.
Scalability: Aircall is scalable, allowing businesses to easily add new users or adjust their service as they grow.
Support and Reliability: Offers strong customer support, which is crucial for small companies that may not have dedicated IT support.

Cons:
Cost: While Aircall is cost-effective, the pricing may still be a consideration for very small or budget-conscious businesses. However, the value it provides, particularly in ease of access to call recordings and compliance, can justify the expense.

Dialpad

Pros:
AI Features: Dialpad’s AI-driven features, like real-time transcriptions and voice analytics, offer additional value beyond just call recording. These can enhance customer service and compliance monitoring.
Flexibility and Mobility: With its cloud-based architecture, Dialpad allows employees to use the system from anywhere, supporting remote or hybrid work environments effectively.
Compliance and Security: Focuses on compliance and data security, crucial for meeting FCA regulations.
Pricing: Dialpad offers competitive pricing and flexible plans, which can be more appealing for small businesses mindful of costs.

Cons:
Complexity of Features: The breadth of AI features and analytics might be more than a small company needs initially, though they offer room to grow.

Recommendation
The choice between them should be based on specific needs:
If ease of use, straightforward call recording access, and integrations with other business tools are your primary concerns, Aircall is an excellent choice.
If you're looking for a solution that provides additional AI-driven insights and supports a flexible work environment, Dialpad might be the better option.
