### "Awesome chat management and chatbot solution for driving sales"

January 25, 2025

5.0

Great! It helps solve so many problems in just one solution. No need to jump between different platforms to manage chats.

Pros

The ability to connect and manage all my chats from different social media channels in one platfom is awesome!

Cons

Its interface is pretty easy to use but it could make better use of color coding to help navigate

It offers a lot more capabilities that are critical to our business compared to Brevo's chat function.

### "Great visitor tracker and front-end communication for my site visitors"

December 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

The live chat is fantastic and critical for quick deals when customers are most primed to book. They feel great about getting instant answers or directions around the site. They feel they are being attended to and cared for. Further, with Zobot chatbot set up, I can also delegate answering quite a few questions about my policies and experience. It can also be connected to my Facebook business page inbox and Instagram DM! This saves me a ton of time! With some effort and intelligence on my side, I can also track or even identify the repeated visitors, see what interests them the most, and assess how likely they are to close a deal. Lastly, all that info is integrated into Zoho CRM for an overall picture of my clients.

Cons

Sometimes, the chatbot isn't as smart, answering wrong questions despite extensive training (using business terms) on my side. Next, live chat may mess up the names in CRM for the recognized leads/contacts. Lastly, some of the user/device data seen during the live visit disappears after the visit. I wish there were more control over the data that is collected but remains untapped by the admin.

SailsIQ is part of the Zoho One platform, which is the backbone of my small business. It is so well integrated into CRM and other social tools, that it was a no-brainer to take the most out of it.

### "Zoho Sales IQ Chatbot does not give answers based on our Knowledgebase"

July 17, 2024

1.0

Poor. We have many customer complaints. Ive tried to introduce an AI Advisor to the Zoho Team but they dont wish to pay a consultant for advice.

Pros

I was looking for a tool that integrated with our CRM and knowledgebase, but Zobot from Zoho Sales IQ did this poorly.

Cons

Zoho Sales IQ Chatbot is poor and does not work. The product is misleading and we have many complaints and lost business from it. It is unable to be trained on our Knowledgebase and I would not recommend this tool. Im going to try Wonderchat.

### "Sales IQ is real time website engagement"

December 12, 2023

5.0

It runs all the time. If you would cut it off my website, there would be missing a very important part that helps to analyze the content. And easy to use for visitors.

Pros

You can see what visitors do on your website and you can get in contact with them to bring information or help

Cons

To use the full potential (and this is gigantic) of Sales IQ, who have to do a lot of homework (learning, practice)

February 11, 2024

5.0

Pros

Excelente and powerful tool that helped me improve my customer engagement and sales. Excelent Live chat, Chatbot, Visitor tracking excelent feature.

Cons

As I use different tools from Zoho, the only downside is that each tool has its own price and makes the set of tools quite expensive.

### "Huge Bang for Your Buck (Get on the Chatbot Bandwagon!) "

July 23, 2019

5.0

We use it every day. I love the tracking it gives our digital marketing efforts. We're in the process of rolling the chatbot out on our site and it works great. It took us a little bit of doing to figure out, but we're extremely pleased.

Pros

Very cheap (especially when factored in as part of Zoho One) Chatbot functionality (they're a little tricky to code, but once you have it down, they're easy to set up) Integration with CRM + Desk is glorious Mobile app works great, so I can always respond to chats wherever I am

Cons

I wish that chatbot development was a little easier. Still, it's absolutely worth it!

### "Very good enough and reliable tool"

December 14, 2022

4.0

Pros

The dashboard is simple and intuitive, making it easy to find exactly what I need. It offers great insights into customer behavior and helps me adjust my sales strategies. It's also great that it integrates with other Zoho products.

Cons

It lacks some of the more advanced features I was hoping for and also, but not limited to the solution, it is actually having time to analyze and activate all the insights.

### "Measuring traffic to your website"

November 29, 2024

3.0

We use Zoho Sales IQ to help us measure traffic to our website with new leads and repeat clients that are in our CRM.

Pros

What we liked with SalesIQ is that you can measure how many people are visiting your website and sync it with data in the CRM.

Cons

As not overly techy people, this platform was more challenging to setup and use than other Zoho products.

### "sales iq is the hidden gem of zoho"

July 12, 2017

5.0

the integration with zoho crm and zoho campaigns is bar none. The cost of zoho sales iq is about the same as the others (a little on the high side) so it's an obvious choice.

Pros

Integration with zoho crm, zoho campaigns and zoho desk is awesome. For example, you can see if someone visiting your website is a customer or not. When you chat with the person, you can transfer them to support or sale as needed. The chat transcript is saved to the contact in zoho crm.

Cons

UI is not as good as LiveChat. The UI isn't bad but LiveChat has the most simple UI out there. Also the chat dialogue box that the customer uses is "cooler" looking in LiveChat - it's more fun looking. Lastly, after the chat is over, a copy of the chat is emailed to the customer but it says "powered by zoho sales iq" at the bottom which ruins the effect here.

### "customer engagement tool"

December 1, 2022

5.0

I use the software to offer quality customer support services to my clients

Pros

The ability to append knowledgebase into the footer of the chat widget makes it easy for the client to access the support articles easier and this saves on the volume of chat, you can as well make calls directly to the clients using the tool for a quicker resolution

Cons

The tool is okay and works better according to our expectations and goals, only it is expensive to use and does have a ticketing system, you will have to purchase zoho desk in case you need to have the ticketing system of which does not integrate currently meaning you have to use it separately from other apps

May 4, 2022

5.0

Pros

No coding/programming knowledge required to set up codeless bot. Advanced chatbots can be build with different service providers. Integrations with multiple messenger apps possible and thus customer engagement is possible from a single window. Answer bot is an easy ML bot using resources provided.

Cons

Visitor reports is limited to 1000 records.

### "As part of Zoho 'ONE' - very good value & functionality"

April 3, 2019

4.0

Good, filled a need but products like FB messenger have taken their place (for us at least)

Pros

Easy to use, chat works well, clients & users seem to like it

Cons

Would be great to add different communications channels instead of having everything separate - we will be switching from SalesIQ to FB messenger as we use messenger already and it's one less channel.

### "Perfect for Webite Chat"

October 31, 2019

4.0

If you are looking for a simple chat box to put on your website for ease of the user, it works great. Easy to implement that portion. Not so sold on their customer service.

Pros

We implemented Zoho to add chat to our website. We tried out the paid version with the bot, but was a little complicated to set up so went to the free version. It fulfills the need and never crashes.

Cons

It would be great if the bot was a little easier to set up. When I asked customer service about helping they wanted to recommend me to their help page and never really would help me themselves.

### "Simple and useful"

March 14, 2019

4.0

I no longer have to go hunting for data and it connects with all my other apps so that is the biggest bonus

Pros

I have been using SalesIQ since signing up to the Zoho One suite and it's become my defacto reporting tool. It's simple and easy to read.

Cons

Their graphical user interface is not that modern. That may not matter to you but it impacts how fast you can get through it.

### "Zoho SalesIQ provides realtime tracking from ads to deals"

February 25, 2021

5.0

Zoho SalesIQ and the Zoho team provide great support to make sure we are using the Zoho products in the best ways possible.

Pros

Zoho SalesIQ allows us to real time track new users to our website from our different marketing campaigns and track the actions they take to become a new lead in our Zoho CRM and eventually become a closed sale.

Cons

We found that sometimes the ZohoSalesIQ code on our website caused loading speeds to be slower than usual. But the team at Zoho helped us work on this issue.

May 24, 2019

2.0

Pros

We like that chat is available on mobile and web. Also nice that it ties into our CRM

Cons

Way too many crashes in our apps. SDK and/or API needs improvement. This is particularly true in iOS. This leads to a terrible user experience.

Pros

I recently started using this application and it turned out to be wonderful. Compared with another, I feel much more dynamic and better way to interact with the visitor. Try it, you will not regret it.

Cons

We should have a general control panel to be able to administer all these magnificent zoho applications. All from a single dashboard.

Cons

I would like this software to be bundle in a package to improve costs. I do not know how to explain a way of more automated process but then it would be like a robot.

### "Easy to use tool that provides useful information"

July 19, 2017

4.0

Website and visitor behavior tracking, chat feature, and automated alerts.

Pros

The tool is easy to customize with different timer parameters and settings to best track the visitors on your site. Lead scoring is easy to setup and track.

Cons

The ZOHO products are harder to connect than is necessary. When setting everything up, you'll want a good road map from the beginning because it can become very tedious to make changes to your system once everything is in motion.
