I like their support service as well... very responsive and helpful.

We've used a different dialer before which didn't had proper recording where we have to cross referrence date and time. With Five9 Intelligent Virtual Agent, we can referrence phone numbers and integration with Salesforce. This allowed us to quickly pull out call information or accounts details when doing calibration. This also helps greatly with reporting as we can see how frequent a caller calls our support line.

For starters, most enterprise-grade organizations and Customers struggle to align their current IT estate and landscape with fast-moving, agile, AI-driven automation and development initiatives. All tooling, governance, structure, and frameworks available to support and facilitate the incorporation of this new but still cross-system technology layer are essential to minimize the risks of data leaks, unauthorized access, unbridled token consumption, and other issues. For some businesses and organizations with a handful of systems or a smaller footprint, the platform could be a bit too complex.

Pros
  • We have a live chat icon on the website, so users can easily contact us for instant support.
  • Previously, we had to use email as the main contact channel. By using live chat, we found the conversation rate improved a lot, as customers are happier to get instant support.

  • New and improved natural language processing yielding better results helps the assistants understand the intention behind the query.
  • Preserves context of communication, allowing the customers to establish inquiries on the website and continue on the mobile app without having extra informational input.
  • Intelligent conversations mean that complex paths that are branched based on the user's inputs allow for a much more natural flow of the conversation than fixed scripts.

  • User experience in custom skills could be simplified.
  • APIs are great... but form/website-based form interaction could be improved (as other similar products have.
  • Training and documentation are delivered for 101 getting started, and when you need deeper technical understanding, documentation could be improved.

IBM Watson simply works well for my organisation. We were able to design, build, and deploy a fully integrated chatbot in a matter of months. The basic building blocks (intents, skills, dialogue nodes, integration) are relatively straightforward for a technical developer to work with. The bot now supports retail customers in 3 different countries on both web and app based channels. We plan to further develop the bot to expand the way it interacts with customers through voice to text, and optical character recognition, as well as an improved UI.

Usability
Super easy to use if you know anything about computers. Comm100 has done a good job of putting together functionality and easy of use for all levels.

Very user friendly as an agent but can be a bit over whelming when you're admin. It's best to have a visual guide or if the onboarding is much smoother guiding the admin depending on their use case

With the growing use of AI and chatbots, it's very easy to use, and the conversational language makes it easier than keyword searches in a document. The contextual language processing is impressive. It's easy to integrate into our internal portal. The use of this tool would depend on each company's security and data sensitivity.

Customer support seems pretty good — though we haven't had many issues, our experience with getting them to troubleshoot our Salesforce integration was really the only frustrating part. We had to repeat ourselves a bunch, and the issue never really went away. We just ignored it and moved beyond

We've rarely had to engage support, but they've always been prompt in responding and very attentive. Support experiences have been extremely positive (but we're mostly happy that we just don't have any cause to routinely need support in the first place!).

Return on Investment
  • We're relatively new to the Comm100 family, but we feel the positive impact has been in the direct communication — our customers knowing that there's someone on the other end that's helping them out and getting them to the right content.

  • It enhanced cost efficiency as digital automated workflows helped us reduce manual FTEs.
  • It is costing us integration overheads, which have a negative impact, including increased change management effort.
  • Overall, it is a balanced approach, as we hope that in the long run, we will achieve significant positive ROI, which will significantly improve organizational efficiency.
