SnapEngage is a versatile software that has proven to be beneficial in various use cases. One of its primary applications is capturing website traffic and facilitating online conversations, allowing both customers and companies to visually see and understand each other's perspectives. This has led to improved response accuracy and a better overall customer experience. The customer care team has successfully adopted SnapEngage, resulting in reduced inbound calls and the ability to provide more personalized support to customers.

Additionally, SnapEngage serves as a sales chat tool on websites, offering a low-friction method for customers to inquire about products or the sales process. It has become an essential component for engaging prospective buyers, converting inquiries into sales opportunities, and supporting the growth of organizations.

Moreover, SnapEngage has found utility beyond customer support and sales teams. It is also widely utilized in educational institutions to communicate with prospective students, alumni, and community members in real-time. This allows educational institutions to troubleshoot issues promptly, provide customer service across regions, and create an interactive platform for seamless communication. Ultimately, SnapEngage's diverse range of features such as proactive chat triggers enables both automated messaging based on various factors and real-time engagement with visitors.

Lack of Notifications: Some users have expressed frustration with the lack of notifications in Snap Engage. They suggest that the system should notify the manager if there are fewer users logged in than usual and provide better notifications to users about logging in and out.

Unfair Chat Assignment System: Several reviewers have mentioned that they found the random assignment system for chat agents to be unfair. They reported that some agents received more chats than others, which led to an uneven distribution of workload.

Confusing Chat Interface: A common complaint among users is the confusing chat interface, especially when it comes to the configuration interface. Some reviewers also felt that styling the chat modal was not straightforward, making customization a challenge.

We use SnapEngage to communicate with prospective students, alumni, and community members in real-time. We are able to troubleshoot application and tech issues they're experiencing and send them links to pertinent program information. It's especially helpful in providing customer service across regions where telephone connectivity is more difficult. Team members within our department can also use SnapEngage to communicate with one another.
  • Allows team members to see type in real-time before it is submitted. This enables us to gather information for responses in a more timely manner.
  • We can see which of our team members are available, busy, or not-available.
  • Ability to see some biographical information of chatters and to sync information with Salesforce.
  • The team chat is easily missed. The notifications could be made more prominent.
  • There's no way to delete old team members from the dashboard.
SnapEngage is helpful for helping chatters navigate unfamiliar processes. You can walk them through multiple steps in one conversation. It's a very helpful and efficient alternative to a call or email. If multilingual team members are available, it would be helpful if chatters could request support in a particular language and have their chat automatically assigned to the team member conversant in their preferred language.

I used SnapEngage on my website to attract visitors and customers who can quickly connect with us and get these questions or concerns answered quickly by using SnapEngage chat agent, it was quite useful in terms of marketing and sales and getting an idea of the customers and visitors what actually they are needing and their requirement with the current work we are performing instead of getting long email trails with skipped or ignored replies SnapEngage chat agent has given a reliable and most useful component to the organization which helps to grow faster.
  • Proactive chat provided in SnapEnagage is pretty useful and less time-consuming, it guides us with the proper instruction where the user is viewing any entitlements for the first time.
  • Instant chats with customers or visitors help to get in better touch and give and receive quick responses to run the workload smoother.
  • The sneak peek feature in the chat is very good as being on one end we come to know what customer is talking about already so we can give quick responses to them with better ideas.
  • The very first time we engage in-app for the widget settings so the code we write may be enhanced well in terms of more flexibility and more UI oriented to get more info from customers.
  • There are late responses sometimes not all the time the window gets stuck and kind of log maybe because of the web agent we used it must be work better in Edge or Chrome.
  • Whenever customers try to reach us there must be an option implemented in the chat box so users can any professional details of them like name, email, or contact no so we can have a record of the user and can reach out with quick solutions for what they need.
It helps business grow, if your business is more reliable on marketing or if your business is in starting stage implementing SnapEngage to your website will give a kick start to your business because it helps to get close with the customers which are in need with those quick questions and responses we are getting from customers using chat agent.

We use SnapEngage as our Chat software on our company website. It offers instant online communication between our visitors and the support team. It allows a customer to reach us at any time through chat. SnapEngage is primarily used by the customer support team.
  • The chat is easily customizable.
  • The chat interface from the support side is easy to use and to manage multiple at a time.
  • The software provide detailed analytics.
  • Some of the analytics metrics could be better.
  • They should offer an option to customize the agent "on" and "off" hours.
SnapEnage is a great tool for providing quick feedback to simpler questions about the company or product. For example, password help, getting started instructions, provide the cost options for the service. SnapEngage is not the best for more complicated or detailed correspondences. Typically if chat isn't the best to address a person's needs I initiate a phone conversation.

Our company utilizes SnapEngage to host a chat on our website currently. We are looking to expand outwards to adding this to our blogs. I would say that currently, we have about ten employees using the platform. We use this to answer general inquiries, as well as more pointed questions for sales and support about our products.
  • Customer service
  • Ease of use
  • Clean user interface
  • N/A
I think that this is an excellent chat solution for small to medium businesses. It is easy to use, have a clean and easy interface, has fantastic customer support that is always willing to walk you through questions that may crop up, and is fairly priced for what you get. I think their shining star is how easy it is to learn the system.

We used SnapEngage to initiate an online chat option for our customers. SnapEnage not only alleviates our phone congestion but allows us to service customers more rapidly and with more efficiency. A single chat agent can assist 3 customers at once (as opposed to one at a time on the phones). We can also share documents, collect information about the customer's platform (in case of technical issues), and even share screens with customers for added assistance. It's very easy to use and allows us great analytics, customizable experiences, and short cuts so agents don't have to type all responses out all the time. Supreme value for the money!
  • Technically strong: easy to use and no issues with the software.
  • Great customer support: they're always available and always quick to help out.
  • Analytics are great: easy to collect, manage and report all data.
  • None I can think of!
SnapEngage is great for all kinds of customer interaction; it allows us to assist in ways phone representatives cannot by allowing us to share screens, send/receive documents, and identify user platforms for more specialized services. It allows us to assist applicants all the way through their application process and gives them a fast way to receive help without waiting online for a phone representative!

Our Global Sales Development team uses SnapEngage to field questions and comments from website visitors during local business hours. Users from each region stay live in the tool awaiting chats, and respond accordingly. In general, the goal is to convert inbound inquiries into sales opportunities. Our users tend to help a lot with Customer Portal password resets and providing digital resources.
  • SnapEngage provides an easy to use interface for the internal user to respond to chat inquiries.
  • The interface for the customer/prospect is nice as well - they can chat with an agent if there are any live, or they can send in an email if it happens to be outside of supported chat hours. These come in as leads to our SFDC instance.
  • Administration of the tool is very simple and straight forward as well. You add the user's email address, give them a nickname, and you have the option of linking them to an existing SFDC user if you've integrated with SFDC.
  • The admin dashboard is the hardest to navigate of any tool I've ever used! THere are 7 tabs in the left-hand panel. Just within the one tab that reads "Settings" (there is a separate tab for "My Account", also Permissions?) there are 9 tabs at the top (which include names like "Agent Settings", "Integrations", "Design Studio", "Options", "Hub"), then at least another 8 tabs WITHIN those 9 tabs, giving you a total of 14 different pages of settings to search through, again, JUST in the Settings tab. What the heck?!
  • Something as simple as notification settings are spread throughout the 14 different settings pages mentioned above. Rather than having one area where you can enter email addresses for notifications, I've had to search through the 14 pages and use Ctrl+F on multiple occasions to fully remove a user from all the notifications they received. This should be much simpler!
SnapEngage seems easy enough for users to get the hand of for website chat functionality. Our inbound SDR team logs in during business hours and fields questions via the SnapEngage chat widget on our website. They can then pass this information into SFDC, or it gets done so automatically if there is no one currently available on the chat platform.

We use SnapEngage for live chat with our customers. It is used by our support team as well as inbound sales. It gives our customers a fast, easy way of asking us questions in the moment when they need to, and provides us with the information we need from them to quickly address and resolve their issues.
  • User Interface is great: clean, simple, easy to navigate.
  • Pre-populated data like URL, location, OS, browser, and more make problem solving a lot faster.
  • Sneek peak, which allows you to see what the user is typing as they type it, is also great for faster problem resolution.
  • Still does not allow for users to send themselves a chat transcript. This really needs to be an option!
  • There's no "whisper" function, which would make training new employees insanely easier.
SnapEngage is perfect for everything we need it for. It's easy to implement, easy to use, and they continue to make improvements with time. Our product involves using a drag and drop editor for designing email newsletters as well as uploading contacts, and users tend to have multiple questions at a time when learning how to use these systems, so having the ability to ask questions in the moment is of huge importance to our users!

Can Your Website Talk?

I allow and even encourage my visitors to have a chat with me whenever I am online on my website: http://prowebsecrets.com/
This way I can engage, sell and support my visitors more efficiently.

I got a Business account from SnapEngage, which is enough for my needs, but there are plans for even more demanding Businesses.

What the Business account includes is 4 chat licenses, which is enough for me at the moment.

What SnapEnage allowed me to do is to focus on way more my visitors and a bit less on trying to optimize every single detail of my website, like design and copy.

It has been my experience that every visitor/customer is different, and without interacting with customers on a human level it's hard to cater for the uniqueness of each one.

With all the features that SnapEngage has, I am able to do stuff like set proactive chat triggers, which make it possible to send automated messages to people while they are browsing the website based on a number of factors, including their location, page, and even set JavaScript variable triggers.

Finally I can put live human beings on any website I have.

This is what SnapEngage ultimately allows me to do.

  • Retain more customers by intervening at the right time
  • Allows you to set proactive chat triggers so that visitors are prompted at specific moments when they are browsing the website.
  • Top quality support can be expected from them where issues from settings to website installation are solved fast through live chat.
  • Has a feature to send your visitors to a specific page while talking without disrupting the chat session or having them open a new window. Just use a command and my visitors are sent to a particular page automatially.
  • No Bitcoin Payment Option
  • Chat window design is average. Even though you can make your own chat window design in photoshop and send it to them for implementation, which is great, they don't have great customization potential in the back office.
It's very well suited for any website that wishes to engage with customers and treat them as real people, not just traffic statistics.
I can't see that a website would not benefit from the use of this service.

Snapengage was primarily used as a sales chat tool that was featured on the website. The proactive popup feature was not utilized. Instead, there were several links users could click to initiate a chat experience. We typically had the chat staffed Monday through Friday, 9-5 PST. When it was not being staffed, we utilized the messaging feature to capture messages. It was employed because the company's product was a complicated, high-tech offering. The hope was that the sales chat would be a low friction route for people to ask questions about the product or sales process.
  • Interfaces well with custom Javascript. Allowed us to send additional lead attributes to the SnapEngage system without too much effort.
  • It has a good Salesforce integration. It allowed us to capture leads from both the live chat and message forms, and properly attribute them by passing through additional attributes through Javascript.
  • The shortcut methods in the admin interface allowed chat agents to use pre-crafted answers to common questions, reducing average chat time.
  • The random assignment system was not a round robin. Since it was random, the distribution of chats to the different agents wasn't always fair. Frequently, one agent would get many more chats than another.
  • The interface was confusing for some of the chat agents, especially the configuration interface.
  • Styling the chat modal is not straightforward. You have to create the designs in illustrator and then send the asset files to Snapengage. I would have preferred a way to style the CSS directly.
Snapengage is easy to set up, it doesn't cost too much, and it has a lot of great features out of the box. If you are looking for an easy solution with full Salesforce support, I believe Snapengage is the right fit for those needs. I also always had a pleasant experience with their support staff.

SnapEngage has been utilized as a tool to better capture traffic on our website. An unanticipated benefit of the chat messages has been our ability to visually see both our side and the customer side of the conversation. This has allowed us to gain a better understanding of both what is being asked and how we are actually answering all questions. Our customer care team was able to adopt the solution within a few days and has been able to reduce inbound calls through this tool. Customers have been extremely happy with how much more personal of an experience it is when they go to our website.
  • The product is quick to deploy and provides benefits right out the gate
  • The reporting inside of the system on what is happening contains all details required by our customer care manager
  • Their customer care/support staff is extremely helpful and easy to reach.
  • The price point is solid, and the product gives you everything that you would expect
  • The integration's between salesforce and email have been great.
  • I am not sure if it is our users, or the system, but I would like to have the manager notified if the day had less users logged in than a typical day.
  • Slightly better notification to the user of when they are logged in/out. Sometimes people step away and forget to log out. Maybe some improvements in this area would be helpful.
  • Overall I am very satisfied.
Anyone with a website that people visit would be a solid candidate for SnapeEngage. I did not compare too many chat systems.

We currently use SnapEngage as our chat widget that pops up for both our sales and customer support team members. It is not used throughout the whole organization, but rather for the two biggest departments: Sales and Customer Support. Our sales widget pops up to anyone who visits our main site, and the sales widget is used when a current user clicks on our "chat" button on our support page and continues to use it as they receive support from our team.
  • SnapEngage has a very easy and simple UI that is usable across all demographics. In addition to being easy and user friendly, the options given for design and layout are great and simple to implement.
  • SnapEngage has a great support team that is there when you need them. On occasion we have issues that arise, such as code not matching up or chats not being received/missed. I have personally dealt with their support team and they are fast, friendly and professional. They do what needs to be done to get you back up and running and it is greatly appreciated!
  • SnapEngage provides options that fit the users needs. There are a bunch of different things you can choose from when setting up the widgets such as design, timing, users and whether or not you'd like it to show if the agent is typing or not. Such customization makes it great to use.
  • The only con that comes to mind is not being able to set up the chat widget to show that the agent is typing when integrated with another product. The agent must be logged into the native SnapEngage app for it to show. Not a huge deal though!
I would say an 8. I am unsure of pricing as I do not handle that so that could come to play for another potential user. I would say the ease of use for both employees using SnapEngage and their customers being exposed to it, in addition to customization and great support all factor in to me recommending SnapEngage to a colleague.

SnapEngage is primarily used by our customer service team to provide chat support to our customers and panel of internal testers. It is our way of providing world class support in real-time, if an issue is pressing or frustrating enough that a client does not want to wait for an email reply.
  • It is relatively easy to set up and implement within a department.
  • Snap Engage's own chat support is easy to access, and their support team is always quick to address any issues we may have with our business account.
  • Relatively easy to add to your site's code so you can be up and running and serving your customers quickly.
  • Snap Engage's reporting capability is lacking in a number of areas. For example, you can't view the total number of chats received across all widgets you have set up. You can only view data per individual widget. This makes calculating team metrics very time consuming. They are aware this is a shortcoming, but not sure when they plan on improving that.
  • They could do more to warn customers when there is a problem with their service or back-end admin tools. I've come across widget metrics not displaying properly a number of times and it would be nice if they could add some sort of message to our account letting us know they're aware of the problem and working on it.
I would say SnapEngage is well suited to smaller companies. It does live chat very successfully, but larger companies might want a chat service that is more robust or full featured, and has better metrics capabilities on the admin side. Also, if your company takes a long time to push through requests to add code to your site, this might not be the tool for you.

SnapEngage was implemented for the SDR team at my last company. The chat box was placed on our product and pricing pages so that prospective buyers would engage with our sales people. The goal was to get them on the phone rather than just provide "more information". The only challenge we faced was occasional technical requests and end user support. It was a key source of opportunities for my team.
  • Easy to use interface on our website
  • Automated chat logs were sent to both the SDRs and Management
  • The ability to send chats to SDRs that had been available the longest was a great way to incentivize SDR availability
  • Even distribution of inbound chats for Reps was a challenge
  • The SFDC integration could have been a bit tighter. We turned it off as it was creating dupes with little data, though that may have been something we need to fix on our side
We used it for our SDR team. Once implemented it was easy to use, straightforward and provided a significant source for pipeline.
