Zoho SalesIQ
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
I find the Zoho chat to be easier to implement across our web applications and WordPress site. I find the bot builder to be the simplest of the lot and was able to get it up and running within a few hours. The pricing is great and their integration with other Zoho products is …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
Zoho SalesIQ provides the control of the webpage in the hands of the subscriber, through supported live chat. Other Zoho products communicate and integrate with Zoho SalesIQ, hence, a third part application is not a demand any more. Lastly, Zoho SalesIQ has a UI which is …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Freshworks Inc
It is best suited for having 24-hour support, where customers can interact easily, even using their phones, to raise concerns or inquire about information. This makes it easier than going through the documents portal as a source of knowledge or sending emails for worries. However, it can be less appropriate for scenarios when you need more formal communication, like emails, and when proper documentation is necessary.

If you are facing issues of agents not being able to respond to queries, which is usually faced with our tools, Zoho SalesIQ is probably the best choice as the default notification is very loud and clear hence makes sure that no chat query is left unattended. The desktop application of Zoho SalesIQ for Windows, Linux, and MAC OS is a superb feature not offered by many other chat applications. The geographical locations of website visitors are sometimes not very accurate hence it is advised not to always rely on it and better reconfirm it from the lead.

Pros
Freshworks Inc
  • Real time customer support. During busy times all our available agents can jump on and handle large volume of customer interactions.
  • Automations and canned response features. With automation we can greet our customers the moment a chat gets assigned to an agent letting customers know they are being attended to similarly canned response helps us use templates for generic and commonly asked questions.
  • Dashboards and analytics. Freshchat's ability to build customized dashboards and analyze performance in a granular level helps us monitor workload and manage performance effectively.

Cons
Freshworks Inc
  • Freshchat is one of the best platforms, but still there are certain areas that require further improvement in order for the platform to become flawless.
  • I feel that the automated system in Freshchat is comparatively slow and due to this, it does not respond well according to all the requirements.
  • There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and they can only be accessed by those who are paying the highest pricing tier.

Zoho
  • Overall it's a very simple tool that doesn't offer a lot of complexity or expanded tools
  • Even though it's all in the Zoho family, it doesn't work seemlessly with CRM or other Zoho products
  • Not always the best at identifying similar users across different browsers, devices, etc

Usability
Freshworks Inc
I give it an 8 due to its usability. Yes, I had a few issues to begin with and needed some assistance from Freshchat agents, but considering this is something that is completely new to me, to set up what feels like a professional chat handling system complete with autobot within a day is really saying something I feel.

The experience we had in past for lets say 4-5 months with the support team and our TAM was really helpful. The changes in the bot flow has helped our bot to ensure we connect with customer easily.

Tawk to was nice but it was missing a lot of features that Zoho SalesIQ has. And a massively important advantage that SalesIQ had was that it integrated with other Zoho apps that we already used. The pricing of Zoho SalesIQ was also very attractive, we felt that it offered a great bang for our buck.

  • We interact with about 50 visitors a month and it's great when we can see the full picture, to see and interact based on whether they are a new contact or a long-time customer.
  • Capturing new website visitors at the time that they have a question about your product is important.
  • Missing chats can be frustrating.
