In our case, it is well-suited for workday integration, which allows us to automate the entire workflow. However, we are still working on the O9 platform integration, which we feel is less appropriate, and integrating the workflow into the platform.

It would be most suitable to help you attain swift conversation flows as you engage with your audiences. The bots are also of indispensable value in handling repetitive tasks around the firm such as automated HR resourcing expeditions or marketing campaigns or any other important but monotonous tasks. I however admit that analyzing the bot's performance is quite complex, have an RPA specialist around.

Pros
  • Provides fast and accurate responses to our customers.
  • Learns and adapts, continually improving its responses and recommendations as it interacts with customers.
  • Integrates seamlessly with our internal systems and databases.
  • We can customize and adjust the virtual assistant's responses and recommendations to suit our customers' specific needs.
  • It provides valuable information about our customers' needs and preferences.

  • SAP Conversational AI in addition to providing the chatbot features also integrates bot analytics without the need for much setup/deployment work.
  • It is possible to code SAP Conversational AI chatbot in multiple coding languages (Node.js, Python, PHP, iOS, etc.) that makes it easy both implement as well as integrate with existing IT stacks (eg. Analytics, AI, Databases).
  • SAP Conversational AI is easy to implement and get it running especially if you are already using SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Cons
  • User experience in custom skills could be simplified.
  • APIs are great... but form/website-based form interaction could be improved (as other similar products have.
  • Training and documentation are delivered for 101 getting started, and when you need deeper technical understanding, documentation could be improved.

  • Documentation update. Some of the very nice tutorials and docs seem outdated or not SAP-branded, which can be confusing
  • Fallback channels. The intercom fallback channel has an important lack of speed, and the SAP fallback channel seems complicated to implement in a product development sprint

IBM Watson simply works well for my organisation. We were able to design, build, and deploy a fully integrated chatbot in a matter of months. The basic building blocks (intents, skills, dialogue nodes, integration) are relatively straightforward for a technical developer to work with. The bot now supports retail customers in 3 different countries on both web and app based channels. We plan to further develop the bot to expand the way it interacts with customers through voice to text, and optical character recognition, as well as an improved UI.

Usability
With the growing use of AI and chatbots, it's very easy to use, and the conversational language makes it easier than keyword searches in a document. The contextual language processing is impressive. It's easy to integrate into our internal portal. The use of this tool would depend on each company's security and data sensitivity.

Reliability and Availability

Never had an issue. SAP CAI shares the same platform as any other product hosted on SAP Cloud Platform (aka BTP) and depends on your hosting (US, Europe, Asia). Maintenance modes are planned and customers are aware of it well in advance in order to mitigate potential impacts on the service offering.

It's a pure SaaS platform hosted on SAP Cloud Platform (aka BTP). The experience is pretty much seamless with minimum loadings or noticeable lags. The hosting depends on your location so you may want to make sure the instance is available on a server close to you, such as the USA, Europe or Asia.

Support Rating
We've rarely had to engage support, but they've always been prompt in responding and very attentive. Support experiences have been extremely positive (but we're mostly happy that we just don't have any cause to routinely need support in the first place!).

Great support from the people of SAP Conversational AI as of the community. Sometimes it takes a little while for folks of the SAP Conversational AI team to answer but this has mostly to do with the overload of questions and users the product has. The gold-support channel within Slack that SAP Conversational AI has, is a great help to distinguish more professional usage and therefore more urgent questions.

Alternatives Considered
I think this product's got a lot more use cases from a business standpoint. I find the other products are very based in end users and also the orchestrator has a lot more agnostic connections to a lot of products, whereas Microsoft is very Microsoft dominated and the other products are very technical and not business focused.

SAP Conversational AI has been a great help in analyzing common errors in data processing and analytics. It is important to understand scenarios that apply in this situation as information is constantly being gathered, which is where SAP Conversational AI is able to help provide common issues to be resolved. Data-driven and AI responding is the future of software analysis.

Return on Investment
  • The clients have received additional, rather enhanced, individual conversion rates of users who interact with the virtual assistant.
  • Due to the introduction of automated methods of handling a majority of the calls that are made, many call center agents are thus left to handle only complicated cases.
  • According to a more advanced understanding of patterns, the assistant has been critical in suggesting solutions and thus drove optional revenue management.
Read full review
  • The impact has been very positive for our business objectives. Through the chatbot, our clients can have an immediate response to any of their requests without the need of an intervention of a person or without the use of the telephone or email. Customer satisfaction has been much higher.
