Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud vs. Apptentive, now part of Alchemer

If you are looking for a platform to host and run your loyalty program through, Antavo is the best out there. The mechanics and customer journey options available with front end support is unmatched. The options for digital wallet for wallet messaging has allowed for a new channel for customer relationships

Apptentive is well suited for getting more feedback from mobile app users. It has all the tools to ask the right questions at the right time. It's less appropriate for simply an app metrics solution. While it provides metrics other mobile platforms would be better at compiling the correct metrics needed for insights.

• The onboarding process could have been a bit better with some delays and some integrations taking longer than expected
• Not enough engagement after the initial launch of the loyalty program for a few months (it got better in the end).

• Apptentive's metrics aren't as customizable as we would like but what it does measure it does a good job at.
• Managing multiple apps (iOS and Android) can make for extra work because you're duplicating work on Notes and Events.
• Finding the right way to interact can take multiple tests, surfacing best practices across the industry would be a help.

Some areas, such as workflow configuration, can be difficult to load. We would love to see more B2B-specific enhancements

Customer support is not well organised and you can make many efforts to get the resolution. For email or phone support you have to have the patience to deal with the support team, also if you submit a query the responding time is usually high.

The integration between Antavo and Bloomreach is out of the box.

We thought about Firebase, but we ultimately selected Apptentive because it is brand-agnostic. Using a Google app for an iOS application could have proved disastrous if the support for iOS had been lost down the line.
