Verbit offers a captioning service that meets our requirements and is less expensive than other services we have used in the past. It offers a web interface as well as being integrated into our LMS (Canvas) so it is very flexible in how we can use it.

Since it is integrated with our media management software (Kaltura), it works seamlessly in the background.

One caveat is that you can't search for a unique ID number in the web interface, so if you have two or more videos that have the same name, you don't know which one to caption.

• Easy to implement - we were up on our site in hours.
• Increases the volume and quality of buyer conversations - visitors get to value faster and qualify themselves by chatting in.
• Surfaces relevant experiences and content to people faster based on targeted use cases.
• Brings your brand to the prospect experience to stand out in the market. For example, our mascot Ollie Llama welcoming visitors on the homepage with funny llama.

• Whenever there have been challenges with the product, the team has always been hungry to fix the issues that we raise.
• In-platform reporting on conversion metrics can be improved. For example, it's not possible to report on business vs non business email capture rate (currently reported by our CSM every week), and to get the most detail about meetings that have been booked, you have to export data and review in Sheets/Excel. Drift responds quickly, and they're already working on this... so by the time you read this review, the reports will probably be fully functional in the platform.

The customer-facing usability is great, but managing drift from the back end can be challenging at times. This is mainly due to slow loading speeds when it comes to editing or viewing routing. Coupling this with no autosave function, changes are hard to make and can easily be lost.

The Drift team has been remarkably responsive to me. From support reps available in-app, to my account manager committed to my long-term success, to regular connections and interactions with their leadership team. They have been wholeheartedly committed to answering every question and solving every issue so that we can succeed as a team, and I can succeed as a marketer!

I have used a few different chat platforms, the most popular one being Intercom. They both have some similarities in functionalities and features. I have had more success with Drift and the calendar link/automation. I love the fact that a prospect can easily find my calendar link and book a demo without needing to speak with me.
