Considered Both Products
Conversica
Chose Conversica
Conversica allowed us to be more versatile and it was a lot more customizable than intercom. Intercom was limited in many ways where it did not allow us to make certain customizations or get the level of reporting that we needed. Conversica solved all this and the AI was a …
Chose Conversica
Conversica outdoes the competition when it comes to auto drip campaigns - while two of the above products are mainly used for mass emailing, both Sendinblue and Velocify have automatic feature suites that simply do not have the customization and ease of use that makes …
Chose Conversica
Conversica was the first AI/Automated messaging service we have implemented.
Chose Conversica
We looked at automating our first response to inbound leads using automated emails from a Salesloft cadence. It works for the first email but then you're relying on your sales reps to pick it up from there. Conversica has that tenacity and persistency to keep on going until the …
Chose Conversica
As a company, none of which I am aware.
Chose Conversica
Usage of tool and adaption to our needs and established company that has proven it before.
Chose Conversica
I have not used any other or evaluated any other tools - Conversica came as a recommendation from an internal team member.
Chose Conversica
We did not specifically look for alternatives with the same capability. While we have looked at other AI tools, they were in slightly different areas.
Chose Conversica
N/A - we didn't look at other similar solutions.
Chose Conversica
Conversica was more cost-effective than Drift.
Chose Conversica
One major advantage that Conversica has over the others is that we are able to send the first outreach from Conversica, instead of our own marketing email IP address.
Chose Conversica
I haven't looked into many other conversational ai products - we received a solid recommendation about using this and have been happy with the process and experience. Price was also pretty good, so we didn't feel a need to shop around on that front. If things change I'll do …
Chose Conversica
Have not really used anything that actually does what Conversica does. Marketo and Pardot are similar only the fact that they automate email streams. But they don't use an AI to respond in a human-like way. Drift is similar only the fact that it uses an AI to respond, but it …
Chose Conversica
We haven’t looked at much but we considered Salesforce as a possible tool to help with keeping track of our leads. Wouldn’t have done what Conversica does for us though.
Chose Conversica
We didn't evaluate anything else like Conversica because it seemed to be the only AI of its kind out there. We have been using other solutions like email marketing software and drip campaigns, however, nothing has the capabilities that Conversica has. Out of our efforts, …
Chose Conversica
We evaluated SalesboxAI at the same time we were evaluating Conversica. We had a great experience with both and also talked with other people that were using Conversica in the process. We thought that Conversica had more time in service, as an AI was a real factor in …
Chose Conversica
Conversica is really in a category of its own. There isn’t anything like it on the market. We wanted a technology that would help us automate follow up in a strategic and thoughtful way and that we could trust to engage and follow up wisely. We found this in Conversica. It’s …
Chose Conversica
Again, I wasn't involved in this process, so I can not accurately rate how Conversica stacks up. I do know that when we first had Conversica it was AVA and coming up with our own script for each email campaign took quite a while and not as effective. I do like that Conversica …
Chose Conversica
Our company is currently moving towards AI, so Conversica suited our goal.
Chose Conversica
We haven't used anything else or looked at any other tools. This works for us now, but I'm hoping improvements come in customization.
Pega Customer Service
Chose Pega Customer Service
Some of the functionalities from AEP are, in principle, more advanced than Pega (for example, the building of flows, and data privacy, among others). However, Pega has been long in the market and therefore it is a more mature tool. Also, Pega's interface is easier to learn. The …
Chose Pega Customer Service
We have used different products those are ok but customer service is worst but Pega Customer Service is not like that tool and services both are doing excellent job

Likelihood to Recommend
Conversica is a good platform for us when used post event. It takes the Inside sales work out of following up on cold or potentially non-responsive leads and still allows us to create touchpoints with the leads. It has also worked fairly well as a follow up for media downloads on our site to gain additional interest or segmentation variables.

Pros

  • Easy interface for sales reps to find, engage and convert leads who respond to the AI.
  • Granular and customizable reporting tools built-in help us identify ROI and areas for improvement, and are easy to speak up to Executive level reporting.

Cons
  • We would love more options for conversation types. Our organization has so many different things that we offer, we sometimes don't find how what we are trying to offer would fit into a current conversation.
  • We would like to be able to customize the text on the templates a bit more so it was more relevant to our readers.
  • We would love for Conversica to remember conversations from each individual so that if they are engaged again in a future conversation it will already have a profile for that individual which will help to create a more personal touch and could assist with replying to certain requests themselves verse assigning a sales person to reply.

  • Performance, as some of the tasks run in batch.
  • Extensibility could take time for complex functionalities.
  • At least the cloud version should be more powerful in terms of processing.

Likelihood to Renew
Tool is extremely powerful but comes with a heavy price tag. As long as we close more than 30 deals with year with Conversica's assistance it will be an easy choice to renew. If we don't we will have to figure out if these funds are best spent in other lead generation places.

Usability
Standalone, it's very easy to use. It becomes a little more complicated when you're working with it as an integration in Salesforce.

Support Rating
Our CSM is great and always willing to help us try new ideas. She's always aware of what's happening on our account and will point out anything abnormal. She's also constantly looking at ensuring that we're making the most of everything that Conversica has to offer. Even though they're out of my time zone, they accommodate it meaning that I don't have to work out of hours to get support.

Implementation Rating
It takes a minute to get set up, but once you're good it doesn't take a ton of effort. I'd say we took 4-6 weeks to get lists built, people trained, things installed and the rest of the setup. Not the easiest thing, but far from the hardest software that I've ever installed that sits in Salesforce.

Conversica outdoes the competition when it comes to auto drip campaigns - while two of the above products are mainly used for mass emailing, both Sendinblue and Velocify have automatic feature suites that simply do not have the customization and ease of use that makes Conversica such an outstanding product.

Some of the functionalities from AEP are, in principle, more advanced than Pega (for example, the building of flows, and data privacy, among others). However, Pega has been long in the market and therefore it is a more mature tool. Also, Pega's interface is easier to learn. The decision between both would depend on the use case and the other tools surrounding this technology.
