According to the vendor, businesses already spend a lot of time and resources creating a strong knowledge base and FAQ section in their database. Inbenta incorporates that information into a chatbot so the user's customers can ask a question and receive the information they need immediately. Companies can now provide their customers with a real-time, 24/7 chat experience directly through their branded web page or social media. With Inbenta's chatbot technology, there's no need for developers…N/A

Microsoft
It is suited for applications like computerizing messages, or any business thought that would require the entrepreneur to robotize their reactions, particularly assuming they are managing a ton of clients and they can't answer to every single one of them. It'd be the most ideal to computerize messages of enormous associations where the reactions measure up to the clients' assumptions. It would be less appropriate in associations where clients' viewpoints matter and every client is interesting and requires the association's consideration, where the specialist organization doesn't need to sum up the clients' interests.

In my case, being that I serve a very niche customer base and have had an excellent result with this tool, I would widely tell anyone within my industry and niche to go for it! I can't speak for larger applications but based on my experience with them; I would be confident to recommend it.

Cons
Microsoft
  • They have simplified the coding for the bot in Azure, but it would help if the coding was further simplified so that non-IT can operate [and] create it easily.

Azure Bot Service provides an integrated environment for bot development. Microsoft Azure Cloud is fully compatible and its security features. It's more important to pay attention to the logic of business than the specifics of each messenger. We don't have any issues using the bot framework because the implementation is excellent.

Microsoft Bot Framework is much better and well more established without a lot of proprietary software/coding language. Lex is very limited with integration with standard hardware and network configurations. Lex has performance issues and was too slow to meet near real-time collaboration requirements. Bot Framework complements many other Microsoft communication products and this was key to implementing without a lot of new training required.

The program I have been using so far is not actually listed on this platform, it is called Marketing Master IO; while AMAZING, I have found that while in the early stages of development, there is a lack of some features and the Alexa advantage has taken all-important at this point, we have that more and more of our target clientele use Alexa and this gives us an edge.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • Interfaces with the SQL data set, tracks down plans/replies, and tests them with the SDK.
  • Utilizing the system is made conceivable by the Bot Dev gateway. We can interface our bot in excess of ten channels, including Twilio Facebook, Twilio, Twilio, and Slack, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
  • It is expensive.
