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.

The Tideo Chat Experience

4.0 4 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.

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

One of the best "bang for your buck" chatbot options

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Having full control of how your chatbot interacts with customers is huge. The application is very simple to use, even for a non-technical person. The integration with adding it to your website is very straightforward and quick (coding ability required). This has been an excellent tool in our arsenal to increase sales.

Cons:

At this time, we have tried to implement the automated response feature at least once, which was when it was first offered. It didn't work the way I expected it to or maybe the data we had did not produce any results that would benefit us. I have not gone back to try it again but perhaps it should be revisited. The website and mobile application (phone: Samsung S21 ultra) are extremely slow to load up at times. I almost can't use the mobile application, which is irritating.

Very expensive

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Good, but it would be very good if the conversations reached were increased.

Pros:

It is user friendly, easy to use and intuitive for users.

Cons:

It is too expensive for the services it offers, for example 40 000 chatbots and only 50 conversations, it does not make sense. 40 000 chatbots is fine, but with that amount you can reach at least 1000 conversations to attract new customers or give help.

Works Perfect for us

Comments: I give a 10, even with the opportunities to improve the tool, since is easy to use, very good technical support and solve our need at the moment. I will purchase the license after I see the performance with customers. Since I install it 2 days ago, is to early to evaluate the performance and the use by the customers.

Pros:

The drag & drop interface. No programming knowledge needed

Cons:

That is not able to change the order of the pre-configured answers in the list that the chatbot display on the conversation

Potential customers be aware of Tidio's no-refund policy before you purchase the product

1.0 2 years ago

Comments: Hey there,I just wanted to share my recent experience with Tidio's refund policy that I wish I had known before purchasing their product. Unfortunately, they do not offer refunds, even if you are not satisfied with their services.I recently requested a refund after realizing that Tidio wasn't the right fit for my needs, but I was informed that they have a strict no-refund policy. This was frustrating for me, and I don't want others to find themselves in the same situation.I understand that companies have policies in place, but I believe that customer satisfaction should be a top priority. If a product doesn't work out for a customer, they should have the option to receive a refund. It's just like when you buy something from a store, and it's not what you expected; you can return it and get a refund.So, if you're considering using Tidio, I recommend being aware of their refund policy before making a purchase. It's important to make an informed decision and choose a company that prioritizes customer satisfaction.Hope this helps!

Pros:

The widget and chat console have a sleek and straightforward design.

Cons:

If you exceed the included 100 interactions, you'll need to pay an additional fee for the chat widget (bot) to continue automatically engaging with customers. Otherwise, your chat will simply serve as a decorative element on your website.

Good System with much potential

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Tidio is a great system, that allows good function in the free version. the paid-version are a little bit expensiv (i am only in the process of setting up a company and money is ... :) )

Pros:

I like all contact forms in one place. Facebook, Instagram, Mail, Chat and the history of recurring visitors

Cons:

In the ticketsystem i need the ticketnumber in the auto-mail subject and mybe in the message-text too. a user defiend subject where also fine, and placeholder for example ticketnumber, date-time, name.
