    I found that ManyChat is a strong tool when receiving incoming messages, being able to create a tree of potential responses based on options given to the initiator. There is also a huge potential for complex automation (as long as the environment required by Facebook in order to send outgoing messages is maintained).

    Agentforce has a lot of applications. We are using it in consulting to benchmark other clients, what they're doing, where we stand, how can we have better efficiencies coming in, et cetera. Those are the areas where it is doing exceptionally well. The area where we feel it can do much more better is maybe a market benchmark because it's been used across by so many players and it's a connected ecosystem. If Salesforce can have something where it gives me the market view of things, I can then benchmark rather than in my own universe to the broader university Salesforce and I know where I exactly stand and what more can I achieve, what's my final goalpost. So that would be something really great.

    Cons
    ManyChat
    • Honestly, the only thing I don't like about ManyChat is their support. It seems to be almost non existent. However, that concern is negated by having a fantastic user base that helps each other out on Facebook.

    • It is complex too, more help documentation or videos will help
    • AI assistance doesn’t work well for specific or detailed questions
    • So much configuration available it can put off new users

    Usability
    ManyChat
    ManyChat is a great tool, provides loads of features, integrations and just saves you a whole load of time once all set up. If you aren't tech-savvy or used to how digital marketing tools work, it can appear complicated. That's how I felt initially 2 years ago, and after watching tutorials online I had a better understanding of it. This is why I rated it a 7, as it's not a tool that you can just play around with and guess how it works. There's definitely a learning curve with it so I recommend doing the free training and watching video tutorials.

    The platform offers an intuitive overall experience and the expected strong integration with other Salesforce existent tools. It has a low learning curve for new users on the commom use cases, such as intent classification, routing and knowledge-based answers. It could be improved with more transparency regarding to the AI decision logic.

    Support Rating
    ManyChat
    There is room for improvement but frankly, we haven't had the need to request for support. Everything is pretty easy to setup and there are very useful video explanation guides and walkthroughs on ManyChat's YouTube channel. The only challenge we have had was to integrate it with Zapier, it's a bit tricky because you need to do a setup workaround first, but nothing too complicated.

    I've worked in the past with Chatfuel. However, I decided to switch to ManyChat due to a variety of reasons. Overall, ManyChat offers much more functionality out of the box (e.g., Facebook comments tool), sequence builders are much more intuitive. Also, they provide flexible pay as you go pricing plan, which is perfect for a startup like us.

    We did evaluate the EVA bots, which are coming in market for Salesforce effectiveness. Those bots are good, but they're based out of very traditional use cases in the life sciences space. Agentforce is very, very advanced, right? Eva can talk about a typical sales rep coming in, logging in the day, log their entire day, and then probably having a simple text to reporting kind of a view. And that's it. Agentforce gives me a lot of insights, it gives me a lot of actionable insights. It uses its own brain. That's where Salesforce is an AI company. So we trust the Salesforce banner for it to innovate more and more, more and more. And that's where we chose Agentforce over.

    Return on Investment
    ManyChat
    • For the intended application, we experienced a negative ROI due to the inconsistency in the ability to maintain the automation without incoming responses. Since it is a free service that was meant to lead to paid services organically, the inconsistencies prevented the desired outcome.
    • We did experience a higher conversion rate with basic incoming messages with questions about services or products due to the ability to have pre-created responses and direction immediately supporting the prospect.
