    Conversica is an excellent tool if you have a large database of potential students, sales leads, or other forms of potential customers/users. It does not replace human interaction, but instead supplements it - allowing your admissions/sales/retention team to spend their time with those individuals that are in most need of assistance - whether that be because they are "hot leads" for a sale, students with a sincere interest, or customers needing assistance beyond the capabilities of an automatic system.

    It is ideal to expand the range of customers, to have an updated and optimized database with interested customers, and allows sales and marketing agents to work in achieving sales and not in the laborious task of finding customers. This software is very effective and delivers what it promises.

    Pros
    Conversica
    • Conversica is great at working low level leads and surfacing those that are in fact interested in your product or service.
    • Conversica is also useful in weeding out leads that are not strong.
    • Since Conversica is sending emails to various prospects, customers and opportunities, it allows sales, account managers, service etc, to focus on other activities, thereby saving time and freeing up resources.

    Cons
    Conversica
    • The method of standing up campaigns can be a little tedious for administrators because it uses copy/paste of Salesforce Campaign ID instead of just searching for active Salesforce campaigns.
    • Understanding the conversation path options that the AI could take is improving greatly, but can still use some improvements for admin awareness when standing up a new conversation.
    • Understanding what conversation types exist and how they differ from one another is sometimes difficult to self-serv, but the Conversica team is always very good about helping out explaining these.

    • The user interface and all the information it generates on the main screen can be cumbersome.
    • The learning curve is quite considerable and it takes a few hours of training to understand the system.
    • The software becomes cumbersome when information needs to be passed to Salesforce.

    Tool is extremely powerful but comes with a heavy price tag. As long as we close more than 30 deals with year with Conversica's assistance it will be an easy choice to renew. If we don't we will have to figure out if these funds are best spent in other lead generation places.

    Usability
    Conversica
    Standalone, it's very easy to use. It becomes a little more complicated when you're working with it as an integration in Salesforce.

    Support Rating
    Conversica
    Our account manager and support rep have been extremely helpful in helping us get the system where we wanted it. Given our original use case as a lead qualifier, a lot of the conversations needed to be altered or exceptions created in order to provide the customization we needed. Our AM and support rep were able to accommodate most of our requests and were extremely helpful in working with us on a solution.

    Implementation Rating
    Conversica
    The implementation went smoothly. The only advice I would give for anybody looking to integrate Conversica with Salesforce is to ensure that either you or somebody within your organization has experience with process builder as you'll need to create some processes to force your leads into Salesforce campaigns for the Conversica system to pick them up.

    I haven't looked into many other conversational ai products - we received a solid recommendation about using this and have been happy with the process and experience. Price was also pretty good, so we didn't feel a need to shop around on that front. If things change I'll do that homework, but we're happy for now

    I believe that the two complement each other. Datanyze pulls off of a number of data points. Onsite it can pull technologies used (javascript based and also infrastructural), products offered, SEO ranking, and it even integrates with LinkedIn to pull names. Datanyze also has prospecting features - you can pull lists of companies based on technologies used, location, SEO (Alexa/changes with Alexa rank, SEO strategy, speed testing), SEM data points, industry, employee or revenue size, funding round dates and amounts, business segment, founding date, etc. It integrates with salesforce too so you can import leads directly into the system with the paid version. We bought for the scoring, but there is a lot that it can do.

    Return on Investment
    Conversica
    • We have found that each conversation type has a different ROI. Some are very hard to report off of, whereas others are easy. this is because some are more built around building awareness of what we offer where they may not purchase it for months down the line.
    • Has helped us to save on salaries. If staff were to try to do the same thing our AI Assistant does, it would take them many hours to be as successful.

    • Once adapted to the software, we have been able to get a lot out of it, as we have been able to increase sales with the leads we have found.
    • Also, the sales department is more focused and works in a much more organized way, increasing their daily performance and productivity.
