    Pypestream
    Pypestream is suited for standard chatbot and conversational flows versus more multi-departmental scenarios. They do very well with guided flow bot services which are great for agent bots within a contact center, but less so for those implementations that have a large document management implementation for FAQs. They do well with service integrations; however, at times troubleshooting edge cases that are impacting performance and adoption can take a while to remedy. I want to believe that better monitoring tools on the platform side would alleviate this for them.

    It is well suited for creating templates on the fly. This is not suitable for handling very high volume printing for which Exstream is more suitable.

    Alternatives Considered
    Pypestream
    In comparison to Microsoft Bot Framework or now Azure AI service structure, where Pypestream is better suited is in those organizations who want to truly have a partner in development. Pypestream allows the flexibility for your Dev teams to do it themselves, or to be in a managed service where you provide requirements and information and they build and allow you to test and give approvals. They are more willing to work directly with you versus a Microsoft where you will eventually get pushed off to a 3rd party partner to help with advanced implementations.

    Much better cloud adaptation. Migration capabilities of SmartCOMM, its portability, and ease of implementation.
