    Exotel is well suited for: - Small and mid-sized Internet based businesses where it is necessary for them to have a very strong customer support team working round the clock and in different shifts. - Company making large number of calls and sending mass SMS's. They can do that on a single cloud based platform. Exotel might not be a good fit if: -it is not a call intensive business that you want to cater to. Though the setup cost is very low but it follows economies of scale i.e. more the number of calls, less will be per call cost.

    WebEngage can easily reduce turnaround time for product and marketing teams to execute marketing campaigns for specific user segments as well as remove any dependency on internal tech teams for the development and maintenance of automation journeys. Further, A/B tests can be executed to measure the performance of message variants in real-time directly from the panel. But WebEngage lacks a robust Analytics platform. While basic metrics such as open rate and click-through rate for messages being sent can be considered for reporting, attribution is still not the strongest suit in case the marketing team relies on multiple Ad networks for acquisition. Thus, as per experience, it's better to use the automation suite offered by WebEngage with a different data analytics platform.

    Cons
    Exotel Techcom
    • Inter campaigns call transfer feature which currently is not possible
    • Interface in Agent login to monitor and keep track of their own break and login times.
    • Ameyo’s wide feature set can make onboarding challenging. Offering enhanced training materials, interactive tutorials, and a more structured onboarding process could make adoption easier for new users.

    As I said previously, Ameyo is a good tool however it has a long way to go compared to Avaya. The user interface can be improved a lot as they can use it as an app instead of completely web-based. Also, the reporting can be improved substantially and make the experience much better.

    Initially they had chat support which was available faster. But now the chat support gets routed to a virtual agent and unable to get in touch with an actual agent. They also have no support with respect to the API's and other integrations.

    Exotel was selected by us because of the following reasons: -Low set-up and maintenance cost as compared to its peers. -Prompt customer service: You want to upgrade your plan or facing any issues around the platform, Exotel team is just a call away. -Call recording Quality was also better than the peers.

    WebEngage's dashboard is relatively more intuitive and easy to understand. Further in terms of cost as well it is value to money as it delivers excellent ROI. The after-sales support is also better in terms of responsiveness and helps in case of issues with the execution of campaigns. The account managers also ideate and help in the optimization and creation of new user journeys.
