Certainly

Strong & very reasonably priced bot solution from a service oriented company.

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.

Bot software that works

Comments: I start my onboarding process through the bot. Secondly presale questions. The more time you put in the software, the better your bot gets.

Pros:

The integration options. Secondary the drag n drop interface, where you build your magic.

Cons:

Like any other skill you try to learn, it takes time before you master the skill.

Worth the monet

Pros:

Easy to get started NLU Webhook Great support and people that are dedicated and listen to inputs. Worth the money

Cons:

The lack of Analytics data The confusing setup when the bot is large

aio

Comments: 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.

Everybody can builed a bot

Comments: I have had a super successful and very educational journey with botxo. It has been super satisfying to develop the bot and it is the coolest feeling to sit with when the robot works and you can train it every day and thus also see huge progress in relation to customer satisfaction. The bottom line is that our customers can get help 24 hours a day without me having to have staff in the department.

Pros:

That it is very user-friendly and that you can build the bot yourself without depending on a IT department.

Cons:

Some problems with the integration update

Smart AI, very high success rate

Comments: 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.

Great software to build your chatbot

Comments: Im teaching, and we have great pleasure in making our students build different solutions for different industries, in order how to learn to build a chatbot, and to learn about the industries. My experience is that my students also feel its user friendly and easy to get started with the BOTXO software.

Pros:

It is a very user friendly and easy to set up. Has great customer support, and advanced NLU(Natural Language Understanding) module for Danish and other minor languages!

Cons:

Not really any, I feel like this is a great choice.

Fantastic platform to build your chat bot!

Comments: 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.

Great product, but lack of service and intuition

Comments: Great product with a lot of good opportunities. However you need to invest a lot of time yourself to master the programme, since there is no customer service. They always refer to the manual, which doesn't alweays have all the answers.

Pros:

Its userfriendly and easy once you have learned to use it. Lots of great possibilites and lots of customer data.

Cons:

Some of the functions are not very intuititive to use. Also it loades rather slowly, especially the overview of Global connections is slow and messy. Also messy overview of received conversations. It would have been nice to make new and use reports better.

Fast and easy to get started

Pros:

Very easy to get started with the basics, you will have a bot up and running in no time. The support is fast and reliable, with quick fixes and direct help. Easy to cusomize and design - both on its operations and the GUI. Up time is second to none - good work BotXO.

Cons:

Reporting functions are a bit basic, and it tends to load very slow, hven bot has been running for a while. The platform can get "confused" over keywords and global connections, and this can result in some strange replies from the bot.

It works

Comments: I'm using BotXO to answer FAQ's and guides to eg. wineglasses or return policies.

Pros:

Ease of use. Simple interface. Easy integration on your site.

Cons:

Editor interface is a bit slow. Could use more possibilities to costumize look of chatbot.

Ease of use & low cost

Pros:

the simplicity and the autonomy we have in building our chatbot.

Cons:

we had some problems with the zendesk integration but they were solved.

BotXO

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.
