Pepper Cloud vs. vCita

I use to interact with many clients on a daily basis on different platforms like WhatsApp, facebook, gmail, Outlook, etc. In that term Pepper Cloud helped me alot as I dont need to keep eyes on different platforms now. I can manage everything from CRM dashboard itself. Also it's mobile app make it more convenient to use

It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.

Because it made me day to day work easy. I don't need to look after multiple apps to keep track of client's requirements. Everything can we handled from its dashboard only.

Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work).

The provide 24*7 support on multiple channels like email, phone, WhatsApp, etc.

I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours.

Their unique capabilities includes omnichannel CRM at reasonable prices.

vCita has been very responsive to our needs and desires for improvement in certain areas. We have appreciated the level of support we receive when a problem arises. Our biggest gain when moving was the reliability of this product's teleconferencing integration with Zoom. With OnCall we had trouble onboarding people, difficulty with the app they used going down, etc. We also had expectations about progress with Forms that we unmet.
