Pypestream vs. Zoho SalesIQ

Pypestream is suited for standard chatbot and conversational flows versus more multi-departmental scenarios. They do very well with guided flow bot services which are great for agent bots within a contact center, but less so for those implementations that have a large document management implementation for FAQs. They do well with service integrations; however, at times troubleshooting edge cases that are impacting performance and adoption can take a while to remedy. I want to believe that better monitoring tools on the platform side would alleviate this for them.

This is being used to make it easier for our sales staff to add leads and follow up with them. Our sales team has found it considerably easier to maintain track of leads generated by this service because of the connectivity with CRM. We wanted to learn more about our customers' habits. This work is made incredibly simple and straightforward to accomplish with SalesIQ. It makes a big difference to chat with and engage with customers at the correct time without being aggressive.

In comparison to Microsoft Bot Framework or now Azure AI service structure, where Pypestream is better suited is in those organizations who want to truly have a partner in development. Pypestream allows the flexibility for your Dev teams to do it themselves, or to be in a managed service where you provide requirements and information and they build and allow you to test and give approvals. They are more willing to work directly with you versus a Microsoft where you will eventually get pushed off to a 3rd party partner to help with advanced implementations.

The option of the desktop application was a missing feature on both of the previously used tools, including having applications for Windows, Linux, as well as MACOS. Having a separate application for the chat agents from the main CRM application was a key missing feature as it was combined with the complete CRMs tools being used earlier. Website visitors' live and history activity on our website was missing on the tools being used earlier by our Customer Success teams.

• It has significantly reduced the number of phone calls and emails we used to get. Chat is more convenient for our users. It also means we can provide support with fewer agents as a single agent can work on multiple chats (unlike phone support).
• Ability to catch and engage with new users that are potential leads has also improved our overall sales program.
• Letting admin take over chat seamlessly without a transfer lets us provide a better quality support experience to our more important users.
