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.
Genesys Cloud AI
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed.ai feels much more polished and feature-rich, including options such as pre-qualifications and the ability to schedule a calendar invite/meeting with a sales representative while Gorgias is designed more as a chatbot to feed FAQ responses and automated messages, without …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
For the moment, Exceed.ai is suitable for our business needs; however, I have used boost.ai at a previous organisation and found it to be more intuitive and easier to set up than Exceed.ai. Another advantage boost.ai has over Exceed is the use of a no-code environment which …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Our biggest issue with Pipedrive was during the implementation process. We quickly found their programming to be not that good, so we decided to switch to Exceed.ai It is an intelligent virtual assistant tool that can help you with your daily activities. Whether it is …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed.ai, Conversica, Tact.ai, and Qualified are highly scalable, flexible, and ideal for automated customer tracking and engagement, vary in price, offer great integrations, and unique features (features that should be explored to find the right option for your needs).
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
HubSpot works perfectly well too. Feature of getting the notification on Email open rate and click rate is good. But email marketing on Exceed.ai is far better and customer support is great too. Exceed.ai's ability to handle mass outreach to a large number of people at once. …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Verse was the other platform we tried and there were too many issues and a lack of 24/7 outreach. Exceed.ai is customizable and incredibly helpful to our sales team. We love how we've been able to select a lead cadence and provide our own types of responses for the Exceed.ai …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed.ai was a better vendor to work with long term and was very great through the whole negotiation process and implementation. Their sales team and support were awesome to work with. Some of their competitors were bully sales people and didn't have our best interest at …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Our team has used Intercom for a while but the interface didn't seem so appealing. With a new design and clear navigation, Exceed.ai is better. The conversation is quite good with Exceed.ai as compared to Drift.
Drift is amazing, no doubt. But Exceed.ai seems better for our …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed is easier to setup and at a totally different (lower) price point. I would go with Exceed any day.
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed is flexible and configurable. The assistant actually scheduled meeting on reps calendars and it supports both chat and email. Great value to money and flexible business terms. And, I was amazed how good the NLP works.

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.

Exceed.ai is a smart assistant tool developed on the Chatbox platform, where users can easily use custom commands to get the daily task done by the tool. Also, it is an intelligent virtual assistant that learns from your behavior and recommends what you might like or need in the future. It is highly recommended by me to others.

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.

  • Though customisable, it is not the most intuitive and can take a while to setup appropriately for your organisation
  • It can be slow to pull in new inputs and it is difficult to integrate into other systems such as CRMs
  • A bit pricey compared to other options

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.

During the initial setup and onboarding, we had a white-glove approach from the Exceed Customer Success team: weekly touchpoints to review and evaluate progress towards our stated objectives. Outside of our regular catch-ups, should any questions or issues arise, Exceed has a chat function that always seems to be staffed. The average response times to questions was 10-20 minutes.

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.

Exceed.ai feels much more polished and feature-rich, including options such as pre-qualifications and the ability to schedule a calendar invite/meeting with a sales representative while Gorgias is designed more as a chatbot to feed FAQ responses and automated messages, without the advanced AI to pre-qualify and schedule meetings.

Return on Investment
  • Increases the productivity of sales because they are spending their time working other leads.
  • Increase productivitiy of marketing because instead of running leads/customers through various marketing nurture campaigns etc, you can allow Conversica to do some of that work.
  • Increases the chances of surfacing opportunities in various low-level leads, lost opportunities and converting them to potential sales.
Read full review
  • There is a significant benefit to using a service/virtual assistance to answer and qualify customers versus life staffing agents.
  • There is another benefit to cost savings by allowing our teams to automatically be scheduled to calendar invites with approved/qualified customers only.
