    The company's sales funnel support is well represented in Respond.io. I like how its workflow is configured with the initial support bot. It filters and provides a summary of the customer's needs, making the advisor's job easier. Calls are something the platform is sorely lacking. I understand they are under development and something we're eagerly awaiting at the company to be able to track more efficiently on a single platform. La atención del embudo de ventas de la compañía está bien representada en Respond.io me gusta como se configura su flujo de trabajo con el BOT de atención inicial, filtra y me entrega resumen de la necesidad del cliente haciendo más fácil el trabajo del asesor. Las llamadas son algo que le hace mucha falta a la plataforma, entiendo que se encuentra en desarrollo y es algo que esperamos con ansias en la compañía para poder hacer un seguimiento más eficiente en una sola plataforma.

    We have been able to increase our "real world" presence on our website, providing users with support and sales guidance when they need it the most – when they have a question. It provides the extension for free. Furthermore, tawk.to provides tracking solutions for your website, allowing you to see how many visitors visited your site and how long they stayed. You can also see which locations follow your webpage. The low-footprint, web-based solution is simple to install and use (in most cases), and it provides insight into the effectiveness of our web pages and sites.

    • What I always dislike about any software is the branding that comes along with it.
    • The live chat module is not super noticeable since it's just in small print at the bottom of the chat module.
    • Small errors can occur, causing the extension in the webpage to disappear.

    It has been very useful for us with very innovative functions and it has the ability to adapt to our operation according to the needs that our administrator indicates to them, and that is very efficient. Besides, it is easy for users to adapt; the functions are very intuitive and easy to implement.

    I think that it's very user friendly. And even in filling out this survey, I've discovered it has beneficial features that I didn't even know it had! It's a lot of capabilities all rolled into one. We're appreciate that tawk.to is an option for us since we haven't found another third party that fits so well with our needs

    Respond.io
    In my opinion, Respond.io is by far the most user-friendly platform out of other similar products. Other advantages rely on features such as AI Agents and automated workflows that are easily adaptable to our company's needs. Lastly. customer support from the Respond.io is admirable, being at all times better than their competitors.

    We use HubSpot for most of our sales and marketing and it's highly effective. However, the chat function doesn't allow communication between staff during chats that tawk.to offers.

    Return on Investment
    Respond.io
    • The cost of the solution, as compared to our previous solution, has meant that we now pay 50% less than our previous solution for a MUCH superior offering.
    • We are able to have a single agent (versus multiple agents previously) in our busy season and they are able to keep up with the load of queries being sent through.
    • The setup time, and integration of new channels into the mix has meant that Respond.io keeps up with the market trends, and we don't have to search for other solutions to engage with our customers - This has saved major amounts of time.
