    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.

    Agentforce has a lot of applications. We are using it in consulting to benchmark other clients, what they're doing, where we stand, how can we have better efficiencies coming in, et cetera. Those are the areas where it is doing exceptionally well. The area where we feel it can do much more better is maybe a market benchmark because it's been used across by so many players and it's a connected ecosystem. If Salesforce can have something where it gives me the market view of things, I can then benchmark rather than in my own universe to the broader university Salesforce and I know where I exactly stand and what more can I achieve, what's my final goalpost. So that would be something really great.

    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.

    • It is complex too, more help documentation or videos will help
    • AI assistance doesn’t work well for specific or detailed questions
    • So much configuration available it can put off new users

    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.

    The platform offers an intuitive overall experience and the expected strong integration with other Salesforce existent tools. It has a low learning curve for new users on the commom use cases, such as intent classification, routing and knowledge-based answers. It could be improved with more transparency regarding to the AI decision logic.

    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.

    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

    We did evaluate the EVA bots, which are coming in market for Salesforce effectiveness. Those bots are good, but they're based out of very traditional use cases in the life sciences space. Agentforce is very, very advanced, right? Eva can talk about a typical sales rep coming in, logging in the day, log their entire day, and then probably having a simple text to reporting kind of a view. And that's it. Agentforce gives me a lot of insights, it gives me a lot of actionable insights. It uses its own brain. That's where Salesforce is an AI company. So we trust the Salesforce banner for it to innovate more and more, more and more. And that's where we chose Agentforce over.

    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.
