eDesk vs. Zoho SalesIQ

Great for companies that sell on marketplaces and want to merge all of their communications. It saves our customer service agents tons of time, and it also connects easily with ChannelAdvisor. It would not be appropriate for a company that does not sell on marketplaces.

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.

• It has helped us increase our revenues by a significant margin over the last few years. Technical help is quite quick to respond.
• UI that is convenient and practical. It's simple to use and understand. We value being able to see how users arrive at our site.
• Zoho SalesIQ has a fantastic live chat feature that includes a notification, monitoring and reporting system.

• I wish the filters displayed closer to the top of the inbox vs the bottom
• The new and to-do tabs can be confusing at first
• Agents must take ownership once in the message; it is not auto-assigned when you click into a message, so there is room for duplication.

Incentivized

• Overall it's a very simple tool that doesn't offer a lot of complexity or expanded tools
• Even though it's all in the Zoho family, it doesn't work seemlessly with CRM or other Zoho products
• Not always the best at identifying similar users across different browsers, devices, etc

They were not even close to offering what xSellco has and the ease of using the platform. eDesk by xSellco is a great price point, is very easy to use, and it also integrates with ChannelAdvisor and Big Commerce, which was a determining factor for us. It also is an Amazon partner and ensures that they are adhering to all of the strict communication rules Amazon has.

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.

• We interact with about 50 visitors a month and it's great when we can see the full picture, to see and interact based on whether they are a new contact or a long-time customer.
• Capturing new website visitors at the time that they have a question about your product is important.
• Missing chats can be frustrating.
