    Chose IBM watsonx Orchestrate
    The only reason is that we have been using some other products of IBM, and the trust on their company, so we chose to use IBM Watsonx Assistant, that's it.

    Chose IBM watsonx Orchestrate
    IBM Watson Assistant has a competitive cost structure, is easy to integrate with Intercom, and is more scalable as we look to future enhancements such as speech-to-text, document upload/analytics, and natural language processing across multiple languages.

    I can't think of anything off the top of my head regarding less appropriate. However, this product is very customizable. I think with some improvement in reporting it could be better, however, I would recommend due to these types of things. I love the knowledge base and creating those help centers. I would say that it is fairly easy to set up, but once you set it up, not really knowing all the things, it's hard to go back and change, so it would be nice to have an overall idea of guidance prior to the original setup that can just be improved over time.

    IBM watsonx Orchestrate performs well in corporate information scenarios, for simple queries and short conversations. The governance aspect is very good, and the build and integrations are very fast and simple. It did not perform well in complex scenarios such as negotiation, debt recovery, and sales with very long conversion flows. o IBM watsonx Orchestrate performa bem em cenarios informacionais corporativos, para consultas simples, e conversas curtas.

    Pros
    Salesforce
    • The AI agent can answer our users' questions accurately based on the information available in our Help Center.
    • Ability to set up workflows and procedures helps our team automate repetitive tasks.
    • The inbox layout is clean and easy to navigate, and we can set views to suit our preferences.

    • 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.

    Cons
    Salesforce
    • I wish I could pull reports on the conversations that have been closed.
    • I wish I could tag fin categories in addition to our live help desk conversations so I can get a good read on the types of questions users are asking.

    • I think that it needs to be able to integrate better with the knowledge catalogs. It currently provides a default database, which isn't quite large enough for enterprise use. We can connect that then to an external source, but it'd be nice if we could able just to instantiate one straight away.

    We are in deep with Fin. It knows all of our features from new and past articles, knows how to adapt and respond to our users and is borderline self-teaching to continue providing users with help as our app is built out and changes over time. It's very easy to use and to train

    Usability
    Salesforce
    Intuitive is a very accurate descriptor. Features do not seem to be hidden by poor UI. Things are usually where you would expect them to be, and the UI has been designed to make it pleasant to work within the platform. The platform also scales really well. Both small and large organizations can achieve a great return on investment by using it.

    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.

    I can get help by asking Fin questions about itself. It answers accurately, citing its own Help Center resources with visuals. It can reason and dialogue well. But when it comes to getting human support for Fin, it is not as quick. It can sometimes take a few days. They are polite and well-meaning. Some things aren't their fault (product limitations), but there was one occasion where something took a long time to resolve with lots of back and forth but it was I who found out the error in the end that they missed, so they didn't really help resolve it.

    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!).

    Fin far surpasses these other options in platform features and capabilities. Fin allows for side-by-side use by both the Marketing and Support teams, while none of the other similar products did that well. Most platforms are designed for one or the other, not both.

    As mentioned earlier, one of the big differences where IBM wins is its very user-friendly dashboard and easy-to-deploy tool; though some task changes are required, they are manageable. Real-time data integration and reporting are also very good. Best-in-class governance and compliance controls are also better than peer partners, and after-sales support is also up to the mark.

    Return on Investment
    Salesforce
    • New role opportunities — Using the “Fin-first” approach has reduced the workload for our Tier 1 team, giving them more time to focus on their own career growth. It’s also opened the door to a dedicated, AI-focused role, where a team member regularly reviews Fin’s answers and makes updates to help it perform even better.
    • Enabling Fin has also reduced our response time and allowed us to meet SLA's.

    • 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.
