Chat MAU (monthly active user) is calculated as any user who has sent or received a messaging data using SendBird platform during 30 days. Q. What happens if my app’s popularity explodes and I go beyond the Chat MAU quota? A.

Likelihood to Recommend
SendBird is well suited tool for those who are having sound technical knowledge and in-hand experience of app development and APIs. One might find it difficult to integrate if not having a technical team or a good technical background. Once implemented, using or management is not an issue. Startups having low budget might find it a little bit costier.

Webex Connect is a necessity for many of our clients, and we have observed that their whole infrastructure is built around it. This proves to be more helpful, when you are working across platforms across multiple apps. Apart from that, managing client onboarding in projects, auto responders, creating channels, creating automated flows, pushing updates to keep them in loop, are some of the features that we use on a daily term. For me, Automation of flows was relatively new, and to see it in action for the first time was an incredibly new experience. Especially the part where I did API integration for our internal chat module.

  • A high end application UI suffocates on low end hardware, so a "lite" version should be there
  • SDK integration is messy for starters

I would rate a solid 9 in case of usability as it does its work perfectly without any lacks and delays, we are using it for almost 3 years now and have not faced any major bug or issue with it. along with that it's easy to construct a Flow end to end where you just drag and drop icons to make the nodes working together with each other and as well as its learning curve is very simple and can be used by a non tech person also.

Webex Connect has a great user interface and multiple client handling capacity, which makes it stand out from the competition. They also have support from Cisco teams, which is a game changer in this field. They have way more advanced systems than other companies.
