Antavo Enterprise Loyalty Cloud vs. SessionM

One specific scenario where Antavo proved to be well-suited was the activation of a challenge where customers earned bonus loyalty points if they used a specific gift card for a purchase on the website. This feature was implemented smoothly and effectively boosted customer engagement. On the other hand, a scenario where Antavo fell short was during an export of the entire customer database (2.5 million users), aggregated by levels (4 levels) with details of points that had expired over the course of the year. The extraction process for these data, even after months, was never completed.

SessionM is ideal for enterprise restaurants, brands, and organizations to build and drive loyal behaviors via technology platforms. They've built their system via robust APIs integrations, but are now diving into a white label app system that allows smaller brands (100 units+) to utilize their incredible technology in their own brand, as opposed to just bigger players. They're the best at what they do.

Overall usability is very satisfying and it is a good systematic user experience, all the systems having some issues so it is also having issues in the system. But it makes some of our campaigns easily manageable and you can get the best return on investment on our campaigns. It is also very easy to manage too.

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.

SessionM was light years ahead of Fishbowl, in the data science tendency assumptions that are built into the system, plus they don't offer an app for your brand to use. You'd have to employ a 3rd vendor to manage that. It's also important to note that SessionM sees ALL guests and POS content in the system, not just loyalty identified transactions.
