Solutionreach vs. WebEngage

I would stay away from this company. Not sure why the change, but over the past 2 years literally every level of the organization from tech support through to the CEO has shown complete lack of responsiveness, concern or interest in solving their most loyal client's most basic problems. Their incompetence finally drove us to cancel our accounts after over 10 years with them.

WebEngage can easily reduce turnaround time for product and marketing teams to execute marketing campaigns for specific user segments as well as remove any dependency on internal tech teams for the development and maintenance of automation journeys. Further, A/B tests can be executed to measure the performance of message variants in real-time directly from the panel. But WebEngage lacks a robust Analytics platform. While basic metrics such as open rate and click-through rate for messages being sent can be considered for reporting, attribution is still not the strongest suit in case the marketing team relies on multiple Ad networks for acquisition. Thus, as per experience, it's better to use the automation suite offered by WebEngage with a different data analytics platform.

• SR will email, text or call your appointments as many times or as few as you want to remind them of their appointments with you. * Ours are set to 2 days before and 2 hours before the appointment.
• You can set up SR to recall patients and remind them they need to schedule an appointment if they have not been seen in your office. * When we first turned this on we had to set the recurrence WAY out because we received so many appointments we became booked 4 months out. It is now set to every 12 months.
• This one saves you money on the cost of postcards and stamps not to mention the time it takes your staff to put them all together.
• Group Messages are the BEST! This enables your office staff to notify patients for a whole day or week about a closing, delay or any changes in your schedule with one quick email instead of someone having to take home a print-out and make these calls from home.

• Ease in creating user journeys.
• Easy implementation of APIs.
• Good reporting dashboard and scheduling features.
• Segmentation of the users is easy.

• Landline versus mobile and email. If a patient has a landline and an email or a landline and a mobile number it automatically eliminates the landline confirmation. Some of our eldery patients don't like or know how to text but they have a cellphone. I have a multitude of patients I still have to make a confirmation phone call to because SR won't send a landline call because they have a mobile number.
• Newsletter editing. Wish it was a little easier to edit. That being said I do love the overall selection and use of Newsletters.

Incentivized

• Relays
• Onsite should have more options of templates.
• Backend support for better reachability of the channels.
• Cohort studies should be more customizable.

We save too much time with Solution Reach to turn back now.

Because I am all about customer service and they are right on it!

Solutionreach, in my opinion, is more user-friendly. They are also very quick to offer a helping hand in areas that might stump us. I also love that unlike Demandforce when we were using it Solutionreach is always on top of things. If for some reason our server has an issue and they don't receive the upload they need with our information someone is on the phone calling me to let me know. This is not the case with all software systems most don't inform you, you have to call for help when you notice that it hasn't uploaded with the data. This could put you weeks behind on your correspondence.

WebEngage's dashboard is relatively more intuitive and easy to understand. Further in terms of cost as well it is value to money as it delivers excellent ROI. The after-sales support is also better in terms of responsiveness and helps in case of issues with the execution of campaigns. The account managers also ideate and help in the optimization and creation of new user journeys.
