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 …

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.

Reply is a very good and widely known platform. I find it to be a lot more sophisticated and composed. I believe this tool works great for both large and small companies, which makes it stand out. There are so many other tools that work great, but they are restricted to the …
Chose Reply
Its customer service is very professional. They respond to my messages within a few minutes. I recently had a hard time creating templates, and their representative gives me the right workable solution, which makes me more comfortable using the platform on the next step. It …
Chose Reply
These tools are great, but they aren't built for what we use Reply for. Reply is perfect for doing these outbound campaigns at scale, whereas with ActiveCampaign and Vitally we were trying to turn the tools into something they are not.
Chose Reply
Reply is more user-friendly and has more features than the other tools I’ve used. It doesn’t have every feature we need, but it works better than the others that exist in the important aspects (connects to Gmail, accurate results, customization, etc.)
Chose Reply
Outreach did not cater to the Indian audience, hence went with my second best choice :)
Chose Reply
Reply is a great tool, but it is not as sophisticated as Outreach. I think Outreach works best for larger companies, while Reply works great for smaller ones. The two tools have a lot of similarities. Outreach has also built a culture around their product, whereas Reply has not …

We've used MailChimp's email chain automation but they don't work as well as Reply.io when you need a plain text email to write to your contact. Our Business Development Managers are happier with Reply.io and say it has met their needs a lot better than the instruments that …
Chose Reply
I terms of outbound emails, I would say Reply.io is very similar to SalesLoft Cadence. I haven't used Cadence since last year, so there may be upgrades that I'm unaware of. But I prefer the interface for Reply and it's significantly cheaper. For teams smaller than 4 you can't …
Chose Reply
I think Reply.io has the most features for the price and the ability for me to insert dynamic images was the real winner. I have found that this is usually an enterprise feature in most of the platforms I have evaluated. I also like that this is accessible to the every day …

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.

I find this tool to be the best and most precise Sales Engagement Software that is currently available on the market. [Reply] has some great automation tools that so beautifully keep all the leads on track, which can easily create content and even lead to a better presence in the market arena. Hence, with all that being said, I highly recommend this software to businesses, especially to implement within their Sales and Marketing teams.

Cons

  • 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

  • There's not much editing options in terms of the email design, but it's not really a con since it allows the emails to get through picky Gmail and other email providers' filters.

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.

I generally receive a reply in no time at all and found not only the support org. but the sales team to be extremely helpful. Additionally I found a great onboarding process with plenty of resources to consume.

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.

We
use Reply for our outbound sales initiatives, and the system performs
excellently for us, outperforming any other platform. This is a fantastic
product that offers excellent value for money. I chose this above others for a
range of factors like it has made it simple for us to start up cold outreach
campaigns and execute quick and easy messaging tests. I think the Reply tool is
best for our company because it does a good job of solving our problem of
scaling outbound sales effectively and at a very reasonable price.

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.

  • Reply has helped us successfully send hundreds of invitations that turned into customers that attended our events.
  • We have lost money through the inability to export results of campaigns and therefore lost data and leads.
