    IBM
    I advise Watson for all scenarios where you need AI to speak. I don't use this for this goal, but I suppose that could be a good solution for tourism and travel: companies in the hospitality industry can make it easier for people to
    get around and offer tours in numerous languages, all at the same time. In telecommunications, could be used to create customized messaging that the caller can use with customers, and it can generate words from a customer’s records that are read to them in a professional and friendly voice. It's very good for English, for Italian is a little "robotic" but the pronunciation is right.

    Sprinklr Service has always been well-suited for all of the work we do. As it's all social media content, and most require responses or escalations, Sprinklr Service covers all of that. The only time I think we wouldn't need it is if we were working with a much smaller client who didn't need us to have eyes on so many platforms at once.

    • I find it difficult to dive into analytics for each social post. The reporting tool gives me an overview of the channels but I would love to look at a breakdown of each post performance.
    • You currently can't add closed caption subtitles to videos uploaded through Sprinklr so this results in having to revert to the native platform.
    • I would love to be able to set up a newsfeed that includes posts from a number of our partner accounts, so I can keep up to date with what they're posting.

    The biggest reason we renewed, and kept up with Sprinklr Modern Care is because it is an active community and there is customer buy-in already. They continue to update and improve the product, but more importantly, the customers are using it. It's easy to switch products when it's not an active component in your daily structure, but switching and migrating the data or providing alternatives becomes difficult when customers have grown accustomed to a specific experience. As long as they continue to improve the available features and the community stays active, renewed use will continue.

    I've spent year designing products so I'm a tough judge when it comes to other solutions. It's clear that Sprinklr Modern Care was designed for the average online consumer with a very user friendly interface. They have made improvements to the admin tools to make that area of the product easier to use as well.

    No issues with system availability. They manage updates in off-peak hours and I usually don't notice the changes until I log into the system the next day.

    I know the Sprinklr conference calls have been helpful, but sometimes submitting a ticket can be a little daunting. In the past, we've included information in screenshots that are then asked for by a member of the support staff. The turnaround time has been between 3 days, which isn't horrible.

    Basic setup took me less than 30 minutes. This includes initial configuration, putting in the initial content, and getting the look-and-feel customized. The domain routing took the normal lag time any other website or blogging service. The really important thing was to get the user accounts setup and begin seeding the system with content before a public launch.

    I've never been a fan of the robotic voice of text-to-speech tools and I've always thought they sounded flat and bland. Until I tried IBM Watson Text to Speech, that is. This service uses advanced deep learning techniques to synthesize speech output in natural-sounding voices. I was blown away by how good the voices were that I've been using it for personal stuff like journaling and brainstorming sessions. And I'm definitely going to be using this for podcasting and my YouTube channel.

    First, we had a social studio which was good in terms of functionalities but slow. After that, we had the chance to use Talkwalker & social bakers which were good tools yet not enough compares to Sprinklr

    • Increased employee efficiency: Having a clear, one-stop "shop" where users can leave feedback, ask questions, and find bug fixes or workarounds has saved me (and other community managers at my company) loads of time that was once spent responding to numerous emails on an individual basis.
    • Better customer service: Since everyone in the company is alerted of what's being written on our forum, it's easy to spot a high-priority issue, delegate to the person in charge, resolve it, and respond as soon as possible.
