GLPI vs. SnapEngage

GLPI is
well suited to an on prem environment, I work for a company that values open-source
software and European solutions.
I have no
experience with GLPI cloud hosted solution or their support as we have in house
devs that fix and improve our installation, their community in the support forum
is excellent if you have a question or want advice on an issue.

It helps business grow, if your business is more reliable on marketing or if your business is in starting stage implementing SnapEngage to your website will give a kick start to your business because it helps to get close with the customers which are in need with those quick questions and responses we are getting from customers using chat agent.

• Allows team members to see type in real-time before it is submitted. This enables us to gather information for responses in a more timely manner.
• We can see which of our team members are available, busy, or not-available.
• Ability to see some biographical information of chatters and to sync information with Salesforce.

• Lack of auto update mechanism.
• Admin interface is somewhat dated.

• The admin dashboard is the hardest to navigate of any tool I've ever used! THere are 7 tabs in the left-hand panel. Just within the one tab that reads "Settings" (there is a separate tab for "My Account", also Permissions?) there are 9 tabs at the top (which include names like "Agent Settings", "Integrations", "Design Studio", "Options", "Hub"), then at least another 8 tabs WITHIN those 9 tabs, giving you a total of 14 different pages of settings to search through, again, JUST in the Settings tab. What the heck?!
• Something as simple as notification settings are spread throughout the 14 different settings pages mentioned above. Rather than having one area where you can enter email addresses for notifications, I've had to search through the 14 pages and use Ctrl+F on multiple occasions to fully remove a user from all the notifications they received. This should be much simpler!

I give SnapEngage a 9 due to how successful our company has been while using it. Unless prices were raised by an insane amount, I don't see us using a competing service.

We’ve used
GLPI for many years and the interface has gotten better with every major
release, the dashboard is easy to use and customizable.

With the
massive catalogue of plugins, you can change or add so many features and if you
have the right team, you can turn it into a completely unique piece of
software.

So, if the
default setup isn’t to your liking you can tweak it extensively.

I have never needed to contact them for support.

We selected GLPI because it is free software, and because of the potential it expected to have. We do not consider other alternatives.

We actually demo'ed LiveChat and LivePerson and besides SnapEngage having a better UI and ease of use, the support from their team was worlds and away above the rest. They let us run an extended demo, gave us constant support, and made sure we felt comfortable before we went live with the system.

• It has allowed us to provide more service with a much smaller team than our phone team.
• It provides us with data helpful to not only ourselves, but our marketing team as well.
• It's customizable so it allows us to create and update our platforms immediately when needed.
