Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud vs. Fond

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

Fond is a great way to incentivize your sales team during contests and rewards for top performers. Also, a great way to incentivize your partners such as referral sources and clients. I can’t think of anything where it’s not really appropriate as an offering. Great offering for employee vacation perks.

• Antavo is a platform easy to use, accessible even for those with limited technical expertise or little experience.
• Antavo offers seamless integration with other systems.
• Antavo has the possibility to create and manage different types of rewards and challenges to engage users.
• Antavo has the possibility to work across two separate environments - test and production - providing a safe space for experimentation and development without impacting the live system.

Incentivized

• Provides a long list of alternatives that make it easy to use your Fond points for the product/services you truly care about.
• Very easy to redeem; select what you want to receive, and click redeem with the points/dollars requested. Typically, gift cards are provided within seconds.
• Regularly rotate offerings so that you have many options throughout the year.

Incentivized

• 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).

• When first trying to select a gift card, I'd get an occasional error message, but other than that, it was pretty easy to use.
• Getting more widespread with the types of awards that users can redeem is always a plus!
• This may have changed since I last used Fond, but last time I tried using the system, the total points you had were tucked away in a somewhat obscure location.

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 have not tested other products that offer such a way to award our employees for doing a fantastic job. Fond has been helping with all the necessary situations and the costs have been quite low. We have not looked into other products. I would recommend going with Fond because we have not found any quality issues with their service.
