It has saved us a lot of time since I can see the analysis as quickly as possible in the dashboard, resulting in significant time and money saved.
Senior data engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
The main return was not something of direct cost tracking on my own side, but more on the time saved, the faster response, and the reduced pressure on agents.
SDR and Workflow Automation Specialist at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
It allowed us to focus on validating business workflows and user experience instead of troubleshooting core messaging functionality.
Software Engineer in Test at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
I have seen a return on investment because I was the only person needed to deploy it instead of four people coding for the implementation.

Sendbird effectively manages high traffic and large user groups, though some users find scalability and documentation challenging.
Amplitude's scalability is fine; I have millions of active users, tens of millions, with high throughput, and it performs great.
Technical Co-Founder at Crankshaft.ai
Amplitude is very scalable, considering that we do not have to do any manual work ourselves.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
Amplitude is quite scalable.
Senior data engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
It has very good connection management which helps a large number of concurrent users to connect and use the chatbot and also helps to maintain traffic spikes.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Chats still came in real time, and agents could manage multiple conversations without the system slowing down.
SDR and Workflow Automation Specialist at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The scalability is quite effective.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Amplitude is praised for stability and speed with large datasets, though improvements in latency and error messages are suggested.
Sentiment score
6.9
Sendbird is stable with minor issues like non-chronological chats, reliable messaging, chatbot accuracy, and rare session or latency problems.
I did not notice any delays or issues with Amplitude's performance and speed when handling large datasets.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
Conversations loaded properly, messages delivered in real time, and the system generally stayed responsive even when chat volumes increased significantly.
SDR and Workflow Automation Specialist at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The chatbot availability is approximately 99% and even if some services are down, it does not affect the chatbot availability.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Sendbird was a stable and reliable platform throughout my experience.
Software Engineer in Test at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Users desire improved report setup, visualization, query building, tagging, data retention, support, and feature discovery for enhanced analytics.
Sendbird faces challenges in documentation, SDK stability, connection delays, pricing, and seeks improvements in analytics, support, and multimedia features.
Support could be improved. Sometimes I need to create a ticket and communicate with one of their advisors via email.
Data Science Engineer at BebopBee, Inc.
Longer form time series analysis seems nearly impossible to do on this platform.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
Reconciling clickstream data with Databricks or other AWS systems could help analysts spend less time verifying the accuracy of both sources, which would be really helpful.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
With AI-driven development happening, I would say include more AI-driven development or include more options on different libraries and languages.
Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
More flexibility in configuring unread count behavior, along with clearer documentation and debugging tools for these scenarios, would make it easier for developers and QA teams to validate and troubleshoot messaging workflows.
Software Engineer in Test at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information.
Junior Software Developer at Weavers Web Solutions Private Limited
 

Setup Cost

Amplitude's high pricing and complex billing for larger data volumes cause challenges and lengthy negotiations for users.
Sendbird is perceived as costly with limited trial options, influencing users to consider competitor services due to high expenses.
Pricing is often egregiously high, and the company has changed billing models on us once already.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
We are using a free version and would upgrade to a paid version if it were cheaper.
CEO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Amplitude's pricing is good and not overpriced; it is fair for the amount of data we are extracting and the analysis we perform.
Senior data engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
overall it is an expensive product as compared to other peers
Vice President, Technology (Mobile Architecture & Platform Lead) at Playfora
The subscription cost is quite high, which prevents us from subscribing before the project completion and user testing.
Junior Software Developer at Weavers Web Solutions Private Limited
 

Valuable Features

Amplitude excels in segmentation, cohort analysis, and integration, enhancing data-driven decision-making and user experience optimization.
Sendbird offers scalable API-based messaging with real-time communication, chat management, and integrations to enhance user engagement and support efficiency.
Based on Amplitude charts and outcomes, our product team takes decisions, so it has improved decision-making.
Data Science Engineer at BebopBee, Inc.
Amplitude has positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster.
CEO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Collaboration was a significant part. What improves collaboration is the self-serve functionality, which was a big deal for PMs to have access to just that data and also the base layer of how that data is structured, which connects to clicks that every report refers to.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value.
Junior Software Developer at Weavers Web Solutions Private Limited
On average, I save two weeks per project compared to building custom chatbots.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Having the full history in one place makes a very big difference because agents can quickly understand what has already happened and continue helping customers without making them repeat themselves.

Saurav Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
Empowers teams to build visualization-rich reports and make faster decisions using historical user behavior data
I think areas for Amplitude's improvement include data retention. The maximum data I have worked with, the clickstream data on Amplitude, is two years, whereas we rely on Tableau for historical data of at least two years. I am not sure whether it was my organization paying for lower retention or not, but having historical data would take away the reliance on Tableau. Secondly, reconciling clickstream data with Databricks or other AWS systems could help analysts spend less time verifying the accuracy of both sources, which would be really helpful. Lastly, a more focused approach on error logs is necessary. I have found that, at least with Intuit, we used Splunk more for error logs than Amplitude. Although Amplitude had the capability, developers seemed to prefer Splunk, so if that could be improved, it would be good.

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.
