Genesys Cloud AI vs. Pipedrive

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.

Pipedrive's lead management features are top-notch, particularly the ability to automate email correspondence and receive alerts when necessary. It has an excellent pipeline, opportunity management, and sales automation without coding: —Exceptional cost-effectiveness. —User-friendliness. —Usability. —Top-notch search filter. However, its speed could be increased because adding new actions requires numerous taps and swipes.

• Their customer team is also extremely helpful and willing to put extra time in order to ensure the platform works for your organization.
• Exceed.ai automatically updates your CRM and marketing automation platform with the latest lead status.
• It can be deployed in Cloud, SaaS, Web-based.

Incentivized

• Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
• The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
• The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed

• Though customisable, it is not the most intuitive and can take a while to setup appropriately for your organisation
• 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

Incentivized

• Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
• Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
• Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

Unless I find something better...

There is a learning curve that caused a slow adoption but overall the UI looks great and the support is helpful when there is an issue that you need to be addressed. The marketplace integrations (developed by Pipedrive) could definitely use some work as they're not as seamless as we'd hoped for!

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.

Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

Experiment is the only way to start

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.

The reporting tools with Pipedrive are immensely more advanced and customizable than Clio Grow. We are able to adjust and tweak the reports to make sense for our firm specifically whereas with Clio Grow, you were sort of stuck with the default reports. Pipedrive beats Clio Grow hands down.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
• We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
• Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
