    According to the vendor, businesses already spend a lot of time and resources creating a strong knowledge base and FAQ section in their database. Inbenta incorporates that information into a chatbot so the user's customers can ask a question and receive the information they need immediately. Companies can now provide their customers with a real-time, 24/7 chat experience directly through their branded web page or social media. With Inbenta's chatbot technology, there's no need for developers…N/A

    Hiver
    One scenario where Hiver works really well is in a shared support or billing inbox or anywhere multiple team members need access to the same messages. For example, when a customer emails about a billing question, we used to reply and manually loop in the billing team or forward the message. That often caused confusion, especially when someone forgot to “reply all” or responded only to the teammate instead of the customer.Now with Hiver, we just assign the conversation to the billing inbox, and whoever is available can respond. Everyone on the team can see the thread, status, and notes, which avoids duplicated efforts and missed replies. We also used to rely on Google Groups, but it wasn’t clear if someone had already replied, and there was no easy way to collaborate behind the scenes. Hiver completely solved that for us.As for situations where Hiver might be less ideal, I’d say if your team isn’t using Gmail or Google Workspace, then it’s probably not a good fit. It’s really designed for teams that live in Gmail so the team doesn't have to learn a new system. I'm sure some businesses will require a more robust ticketing solution but for our use case, this was a perfect option to improve outcomes, client service, and satisfaction.

    In my case, being that I serve a very niche customer base and have had an excellent result with this tool, I would widely tell anyone within my industry and niche to go for it! I can't speak for larger applications but based on my experience with them; I would be confident to recommend it.

    True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're already all accustomed to managing our own G-Suite inbox, so it was simply a matter of teaching the team how to utilize the solution.

    The program I have been using so far is not actually listed on this platform, it is called Marketing Master IO; while AMAZING, I have found that while in the early stages of development, there is a lack of some features and the Alexa advantage has taken all-important at this point, we have that more and more of our target clientele use Alexa and this gives us an edge.
