- Better Marketo integration to pre-populate custom fields with values from our CRMs.
- Better data append services.
- Reporting is getting better, but can still be expanded.
- Better lead follow up time.
- Increased conversion rates from MQL to SQL.
- Viewed as a resource for everything (negative).

Drift made chat cool again. Drift was able to market themselves in a different way, that wasn't just an ordinary chat. The ability to craft your journeys up front that allows you to be prescriptive in how to handle your inquiries was a real positive. When evaluating their product, they outlined their roadmap and their plans around AI and other features. I liked their package and offerings.
