Quick response to the customer

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Sometimes when customers communicated through chat, they had to wait the time that the flow of conversations at the time required to be attended to. Since Tidio was implemented, they do not have to wait because the answers are automatic and are understandable, giving a solution to the question

Pros:

It has been a fabulous tool to be able to resolve customer queries through live chat much faster, many times without the need to transfer to an advisor. Frequently asked questions that are easy to answer are done by the AI, which reduces the flow of conversations. It helps improve the productivity of operators by being able to focus on more special cases that require more attention

Cons:

No, there is nothing to dislike about Tidio, the whole process has been fabulous, which benefits the company

So far so good

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Used to solve:- Last step customer conversion- Abandoned cart marketing/ lead generation (via emails)

Pros:

I've been using it for 3 days, I really like the ease to use and to install, it allows me to be on the go and still reply to customers. Also the chatbot workflow is very extensive and customizable.

Cons:

That said ther is a MASSIVE miss for me on the chat: I would like to send voice notes directly, I've been selling on social media for over 2 years and there is nothing the customers like more than to receive a tailor made audio message for them, also for me it's so useful and fast (more so when I'm on the go.

Alternatives Considered: WhatsApp and Chatbot

Reasons for Switching to Tidio: Chatbot was trash, and whatsapp is VERY comfortable for me, but it adds an extra screen switching (to start the chat you have to redirect to whatsapp), also it exposes the customer to giving their phone number (which they maybe wouldn't want to do) lastly it would leave no option for PC users, because they don't have whatsapp.

Support team is like waiting for Christmas

1.0 last year

Comments: I got sucked into the Tidio marketing, got excited, decided to add it to our website, and then it would not connect to my domain. I followed the available tutorials, but still couldn't connect it to our domain. I asked for support days ago, and it's been crickets.

Pros:

Not sure. I can't even get the app working, and the support team has been unavailable for days - another bad sign.

Cons:

I least like never getting a response from the support team. I can't even tell if this is a good app on not.

Tidio for eCommerce

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: So far so good. Don't have any complaints.

Pros:

A very simple signup and login process.Fast facilities, ease of use.No code required, very deliverable.

Cons:

There's quite a few tools to get through at the moment so haven't had the chance to fully analyse the downsides. Subscriptions are always a pain, but that comes with the software territory.l

A must-have for businesses that rely on online sales

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: We have used facebook widgets and similar in the past but Tidio has been leaps and bounds ahead of that. The analytics and the tracking of user behavior is on point. The ease of creating chat bots and canned responses and the overall look and presentation of the widget, as well as seamless integration with Wordpress makes us feel like it's going to be great for business. We are still in the free trial and have already received one booking because the customer was able to ask for a discount code through chat. We love it.

Pros:

I love being able to create our own chat bots to answer customer questions quickly and easily. Being able to track their behaviors, re-marketing return visitors to the site and initiate conversations based on what they are looking at. Many people won't call to ask a question and prefer to chat and being able to have that capability and do it effectively is going to change the way we do our online sales.

Cons:

The templates have not been entirely helpful for us as we are a unique industry (escape rooms). Most of what I've done I have had to set up manually from scratch. Luckily, that has been pretty easy to do. If it integrated with our booking software Resova it would also open up so much for us.

Alternatives Considered: Zipwhip, Facebook Apps and Tabs and Heymarket

Reasons for Switching to Tidio: We saw it used on another business's website and really enjoyed it. Signed up for the free trial and loved ease of use.

The Tideo Chat Experience

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: It was good because I synced it to my computer, phone and tablet. I set it to notify me with a ding, so that in most circumstances I would know if someone needed assistance. It isn't an AI chat experience that answers general questions, so emails are used to communicate for all basic information as well as more detailed info.

Pros:

It helped me to communicate with my customers when I wasn't able to be online.

Cons:

It is a little difficult to use at first. The learning curve was lengthy for me. Also, I had computer security problems because I was using it with Wordpress and I didn't have a good security running. If using with Wordpress, security must be good and kept up to date. I later found a good free system that solved my problems.

Pros:

Chatting live and seamlessly with clients and site visitors.

Not much. Maybe the fact that I tried reaching the customer support team for a live chat but kept chatting with a bot with no way to type what I want.Also, this review form is too long!
