When comparing against other chat bot providers, we found the Bold360 user interface to be more user friendly on both the setup and customer facing sides.
Chose Genesys DX (discontinued)
Bold360 offers an increased level of customization in the following areas for almost the same price:
  • Reporting
  • Channeling to different agent groups

Userlike was a live-chat-only product, which we replaced with Bold360 because of the additional possibility of a pre-activated bot. When using live chat only, Userlike is as good as Bold360.

Each is unique in [its] own way but we wanted something powerful and easy for the people performing day-to-day tasks within it. We didn't want to always have to rely on IT to not only develop but also maintain the solution and therefore adding an unnecessary dependency on the …

Bold360 is flexible, fairly easy to integrate, and very much aimed at customer service, which made it an ideal fit.
Many other vendors don't have the customer-facing functionality of Bold360.

I used LivePerson in my previous company. It was the same as BoldChat in terms of being a standalone chat application. But when I started using Bold360, for the very first time I felt I'd found a tool that made chat a really good channel for communications.
Chose Genesys DX (discontinued)
Bold360 is very comfortable to use and the look of the software always make us fresh and feel good to work.

We went with Bold360 because it fit our needs best, the cost was right, and the ease of use and implementation looked better to all of us than the competition. The web team knew of Bold360 by reputation. I liked the ease of use and the low time investment from an admin point …

Boldchat has a lot more options thus making Boldchat more complicated to use than Bold360. But since Bold360 is a simpler system, it cannot do all the things that Boldchat can use. That is why we have not stopped using Boldchat. Our lesser experienced and part-time reps use the …

The relationship building with the entire team at LMI from Sales, to the Account Manager to our Customer Relationship manager and their product Bold360 was excellent. They were always willing to listen to different ideas and try to make them work for us

Cons
  • I think the pricing could be a little more competitive

  • Reporting capabilities. I think the dashboard and reporting tool could contain more details in terms of what data is visible and available to the user/administrator.
  • Native mobile applications to provide added support.
  • Improving the beta testing program to use new features before understanding whether the update can be pushed out without causing issues with the end-user.

Usability
Since I deployed this solution end to end for my organisation, I would speak from my experience that since I was a newbie to this platform I took ample support from their team, their training resources. However, the product's UI/UX was simply very intuitive that it helped me to get a lot of hand-on practice on the product well. This helped me with the timely deployment of this solution.

Day-to-day use of Bold360 AI (chatbot) use (reviewing new questions, adding new responses, tagging, etc.) is fairly simple, but utilizing more advanced features and custom channeling, etc. typically require escalation to developers and may require additional costs if you want help to implement

Full end-to-end support is critical to maintain the ongoing service, robustness, training and customer service Chatbot offers.

The Bold360 team has been supportive throughout the process. My reason for providing the 8 rating is due to the training curriculum. I believe Bold should work closely with the client to determine what training would best support the customer's needs.

ChatBot is more stable and enhanced as compared to other rivals which are new in this segment and also provides a lot of details which is missing in other products like report etc. Also, chatBot is more commonly used so support wise it is also great and you can find multiple examples on the internet and from your peers as well.

Each is unique in [its] own way but we wanted something powerful and easy for the people performing day-to-day tasks within it. We didn't want to always have to rely on IT to not only develop but also maintain the solution and therefore adding an unnecessary dependency on the opportunity the platform can provide to its users.
