Customer Service Manager Arts and Crafts ### "Smart AI, very high success rate" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 11, 2022 It's been great! I'd say that starting the integration with Certainly was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Pros The best thing about Certainly is its success rate and efficiency. The AI is very smart and it gets even better over the time. Since we have the integration with Certainly, the daily workflow of customer service department has become easier than ever. Cons Nothing comes to mind to be honest, it's quite user-friendly and it gives you all the necessary tools to guarantee its success.

Manager Information Technology and Services ### "BotXO" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 29, 2020 Pros The support I received during the setup is amazing. They are very proactive and fast in replying. Highly recommended. Cons Still exploring all the features. It would be good to have a multilingual option by default and not by multiplying modules. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. MD Mark d. Customer Care System Specialist Food & Beverages ### "Fantastic platform to build your chat bot!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 26, 2020 It has not been live long enough to really prove a point yet, but I can already see the usecase for both pre-deflecting easy / repeat enquiries as well as doing preparations for tickets with higher need for interaction. Gathering information for the agent to work more efficiently for example. Pros The one thing that stood out from the start was the ease to work with BotXO: The intuitive use of the platform itself and the support from our Customer Success manager. With their help, we were able to launch our first version in 2 weeks, and one week was due to me not having enough time to work on it full time. Cons I would like some more easy options to export items / flows for translation to another languages.

David E. Senior Project Manager of Player Experience Entertainment ### "Strong & very reasonably priced bot solution from a service oriented company." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 15, 2020 Pros Implementation was much easier than anticipated. While not completely painless & without challenges, we were able to integrate with our Zendesk instance without any programmer resources - no dependencies here! (Some handholding by the BotXO service team was needed though! Which brings us to the next point...) Absolutely fantastic customer service. Whenever I hit a snag, their team is super fast to respond & they go above and beyond in explaining best practices & often proposing clever solutions to what I'm trying to achieve. Their detailed responses & level of service exceeded my expectations - high praise coming from a CS professional. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] in particular has been a joy to work with. And look, their customer newsletters have a "request a feature" button. How awesome is that? Don't see many vendors actively seeking feature requests so openly. The conversation flow testing feature is fantastic. It shows the bot conversation on one side and the bots current state and decisionmaking next to it. Great for troubleshooting issues! Cons The UI inside the platform is a little clunky. I like the general idea of setting up a flowchart - it's a great way to visualize the conversation flows. But setting up and modifying modules is clunky and it can feel like it takes twice as many clicks as it should to set up and connect modules. Some functionality feels like a "hack" rather than a fully polished feature. I.e. while it is possible to start a conversation at a specific point in the tree based on the URL of the page the customer is on, it requires multiple rather un-intuitive steps. There is a tagging/labeling feature which let you designate colors & tags for modules, but I'd love to see this taken further. It would be easier to read the flow of your bot though if it was possible to say, draw boxes to designate certain "areas" / boxes (i.e. Technical support) Some of the webhooks are confusing to set up, at least as a non-programmer. BotXO has the right idea already by making pre-made templates. Some templates were confusing to set up though which caused some frustration. I'd imagine this would not be a problem for teams implementing the bot with programmer resources available. Not really a point regarding the software... but their help center could be more comprehensive. This has been mostly mitigated by their excellent support team, but I try to self-service whenever possible. There have been times where better documentation would've been preferred over filing a ticket. Reasons for choosing Certainly There were a few factors but pricing was the biggest one by far. We found their pricing to be exceptionally reasonable for the features offered by the solution. Other reasons of note for us picking BotXO is because they came highly recommended by partners we trust, such as our customer success manager at Zendesk. It also helped in our decision that they are a startup with a relatively new product which is still in active development. For us it means a lot to be able to work with a vendor - i.e. proposing ideas for features & improvements & reporting bugs. In our experience, the startup type companies are much more flexible & nice to work with in this regard.

CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "aio " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 29, 2020 The AIO team was not technical, but with BotXO they could manage complex dialogue flows without being overwhelmed by their complexity. BotXO’s intuitive interface was suitable for the customers as well. The onboarding process was a positive experience for the AIO team. The switch from DialogFlow to BotXO happened smoothly. The AIO team have very good communication with the team at BotXO and can collaborate on the product. Pros The aio team did not want an app with limited conversations. They didn’t want an FAQ bot, but something that would flow as a natural conversation. BotXO was able to handle both huge amounts of content and complicated dialogues. Cons Not much to say here, really. It’s always a Challenge ti learn something new, but We Got the help we needed all along. Reasons for choosing Certainly BotXO was much faster and easier to build, test and edit than DialogFlow. What took 10 to 15 minutes in Dialogflow, it would take only 30 seconds in BotXO.
