Shadrach Godwish Chukwu - PeerSpot reviewer
SDR and Workflow Automation Specialist at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Organized real-time customer chats have improved support efficiency and response handling
One thing I found unique about Sendbird is how smooth the real-time chat feels. It does not feel delayed or clunky. Conversations flow naturally, as though you are talking to someone in real time. If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance. That would make it much easier to optimize support without relying on external tools. One improvement I see for Sendbird would be more flexibility in customizing the chat interface, especially around how conversations are displayed for agents. Sometimes, when handling multiple chats, having better layout controls or quick filters would make it much easier to stay organized. I also would appreciate more built-in analytics inside the platform itself, such as clearer breakdowns of response times, chat resolution rates, and common customer issues. Right now, you often need external tools to get that level of insights. Overall, it works very well, but those improvements would make the day-to-day support work much smoother and much more efficient.

Centralized integration has improved referral workflows and makes cloud reporting more accurate
Workspan's best feature is that it is quick to access and readable, providing all the information in one place, making it quite easy to understand. The UI is very intuitive. What stands out about the UI is that searching for all the information added in Salesforce and locating that information in Workspan is quite easy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Sendbird positively impacts my organization by reducing our time to create the chat module for the applications over the web and the Android and iOS mobile applications, allowing us to easily integrate this chat feature with less time."
"The backend system was managed by Sendbird, eliminating the need for caching systems or local storage on user devices."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"Sendbird has positively impacted my organization by giving the users of my product a feeling of community that we wanted to give, which has really increased the app usage time."
"Sendbird is really valuable because I was able to create a chat from scratch in two to three days and a custom chat in a week by implementing things from scratch."
"Overall, Sendbird is a solid choice if you are looking for a reliable, scalable chat solution without the overhead of building and maintaining your own messaging infrastructure."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"Workspan's best feature is that it is quick to access and readable, providing all the information in one place, making it quite easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"To improve Sendbird, it could provide features such as those in WhatsApp, including allowing users to share their current location and live location, and enabling users to keep and share their current status with others."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"For Sendbird to be improved, I would say creating more multi-platform SDKs is essential."
"Their teams could be better in sync, as I had a very bad bug wherein all three SDKs had a problematic initialization order that required a bug fix version to be released after 17 email exchanges to finally get them to agree that the fault was on their side, which was pretty painful."
"One area that could be improved is the handling and visibility of unread message counts."
"If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance."
"Sometimes it takes too much time for data to be reflected in Workspan, and this response time could be reduced."

"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
