Layerise vs. Zoho SalesIQ

In today’s market, consumer brands with physical products are increasingly seeking innovative ways to engage digitally with their customers. A digital engagement platform is essential for providing interactive customer support and fostering brand loyalty. However, if your brand is in a growth phase and aiming to scale its customer service operations, in my opinion, it may be worth reevaluating the effectiveness of Layerise for this purpose. We found that while Layerise promises a suite of tools designed to digitize customer engagement, the platform may not be well-suited for brands at a scaling stage. In our experience, the features that seemed promising for individualized customer support do not always translate well when applied to a larger customer base. The complexities and nuances of scaling demand robust, flexible, and highly responsive tools, which, in our experience, Layerise has not consistently provided.

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.

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.
