Considered Both Products
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.
Pipedrive
Chose Pipedrive
Salesforce is more complex, visually Pipedrive is easier to look at at a glance to see where your opportunities fall in the stages in your funnel; whereas salesforce is not as visually appealing. Pipedrive is better for smaller businesses and more price effective than some of …
Chose Pipedrive
Hubspot is more complex with more functionality, Pipedrive is easier and more straightforward to use.
Chose Pipedrive
Much easier setup and use on basic level.
Chose Pipedrive
The reporting tools with Pipedrive are immensely more advanced and customizable than Clio Grow. We are able to adjust and tweak the reports to make sense for our firm specifically whereas with Clio Grow, you were sort of stuck with the default reports. Pipedrive beats Clio Grow …
Chose Pipedrive
Asana is much better for task management and to-do lists. Also, it has a great calendar feature.
Chose Pipedrive
Overall compared to SFDC and other CRM tools Pipedrive stacks up very well when it comes to ease of use and usability. It needs a bit better more robust reporting compared to some of the other tools. But for the cost and value provides I'd rank Pipedrive very highly in …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive has a simpler interface and focuses on sales initiatives rather than digital marketing efforts which is something that our sales team needs. Pipedrive offers a good level of flexibility when it comes to customizations and they are always open to adding new features.
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive has an excellent UI, email tracking features, and the ability to display contact information and notes about each individual. It allows us to integrate other systems with a high degree of automation, which is crucial to our workflow. Easy to pick up and use, with …
Chose Pipedrive
We switched from Microsoft Dynamics to Pipedrive because Pipedrive was more cost effective and gave us more control over the custom fields we could make that applied directly to our company. It also was a much easier software to navigate and the sales team was using it a lot …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive's integrations are so much better. Pipedrive has a much better user interface, the email tracking functionality is very handy, Pipedrive has a better interface in displaying people's contact details and our notes on them, and most importantly, Pipedrive allows us to …
Chose Pipedrive
It is easier to use and more specific. I think HubSpot has a lot and can be overwhelming or confusing at the start. It is cheaper, and the automation is easier to configure. I think it is a better option to start with Pipedrive software. Try it and check for yourself.
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is less complex and far more affordable. It is missing some of the marketing tools (email marketing, adspend tracking, etc.) But for a small team this tool is far superior. It cuts out the fluff and focuses on helping you manage a pipeline. And the cost is a million …
Chose Pipedrive
Better integrations, dashboards, reporting, and tasks
Chose Pipedrive
The difference between this CMR software and similar ones is that Pipedrive is much more complete in terms of features that can be exercised in different job roles such as consulting, human resources management and marketing.
Chose Pipedrive
Pipeline Deals - prior to Pipedrive we tested Pipeline Deals. these two products are similar as in they are made for small/mid-sized businesses. We felt that Pipedrive was more intuitive and easier for our companies needs. The deal tracking was a real decision-maker for us. …
Chose Pipedrive
I much prefer the interface of Pipedive when compared to Zoho. Much more user friendly and the team is always readily available when we need them. Pipedrive allowed for many custom integrations to be added, as Zoho was a tad more complicated to manipulate. We would not go back …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is much more intuitive, fast, easy to understand and to keep tracking, BUT, it's not as customizable, as good for marketing automation, it doesn't use AI. Salesforce was the most customizable CRM I ever used, that was amazing, we could adapt to every business, but the …
Chose Pipedrive
I have not used products similar to Pipedrive.
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive stands ahead of SugarCRM in its ease of use, its simplicity and zero overhead information that is not needed in order to manage your leads. Pipedrive is our preferred tool since it has everything you would really need is a pretty simple, clean, and easy to use and …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive was being used by a sister company and recommended. Not sure how a one on one trial would go. I like Outlook for email and Pipedrive is weak when synching with Outlook
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is extremely lightweight, but extremely powerful as you get deeper into it. My 61 year old father will use it, when he won't even use email on desktop. Pipedrive is inexpensive and easy to adopt. It's also easy to adapt, adding custom fields, deal stages, and other …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is extremely simple with the pipeline management, but more time-consuming than necessary for even simpler tasks like browsing through contacts or organizations, and especially making changes to those contacts or organizations. If they were able to make it so that you …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is nowhere near as capable as Salesforce, but it's also much easier to manage. I think of Pipedrive as a simple version CRM that is good for managing inbound lead's interests in an organized way. When you have a larger sales structure with different components and …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive was the best option for our company because the price is right for a small company! Before Pipedrive, we were just tracking sales in excel spreadsheets, and Pipedrive I believe is the next best step if you want to graduate from spreadsheets, but not take your company …

User Testimonials
Genesys Cloud AIPipedrive
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Pipedrive's lead management features are top-notch, particularly the ability to automate email correspondence and receive alerts when necessary. It has an excellent pipeline, opportunity management, and sales automation without coding: —Exceptional cost-effectiveness. —User-friendliness. —Usability. —Top-notch search filter. However, its speed could be increased because adding new actions requires numerous taps and swipes.

Pros
  • Their customer team is also extremely helpful and willing to put extra time in order to ensure the platform works for your organization.
  • Exceed.ai automatically updates your CRM and marketing automation platform with the latest lead status.
  • It can be deployed in Cloud, SaaS, Web-based.
Read full review
  • Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
  • The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
  • The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed
Read full review
Cons
  • 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
Read full review
  • Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
  • Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
  • Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

Usability

There is a learning curve that caused a slow adoption but overall the UI looks great and the support is helpful when there is an issue that you need to be addressed. The marketplace integrations (developed by Pipedrive) could definitely use some work as they're not as seamless as we'd hoped for!

Support Rating
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.

Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
  • We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
  • Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
