ROI

Sentiment score
8.1
Bitrix24 provides high ROI through process streamlining, cost reduction, strong integration, and efficient digitization, enhancing workflow management.
Sentiment score
6.1
Sendbird boosts efficiency by automating tasks, reducing development time, and enhancing user engagement, highlighting its substantial business value.
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
I have seen a return on investment, including saved money, saved time, and the requirement of very few resources or employees to implement Sendbird chat.
Senior Software Professional at Merkle INC
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
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.6
Bitrix24's support is responsive with mixed feedback; community support is praised, but documentation clarity varies.
Sentiment score
5.4
Sendbird's support is responsive and helpful, though less effective with complex issues across multiple SDKs, valued for weekly visits.
The resolution to some problems that involved multiple SDKs came in a little later and required a lot of effort from my end to get the solution out.

The team was responsive and helpful in addressing technical questions.
Software Engineer in Test at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

6.8
Bitrix24 provides scalable solutions for diverse business sizes, though larger deployments may encounter challenges with infrastructure and integrations.
Sentiment score
6.2
Sendbird ensures seamless, large-scale user engagement with robust performance, overcoming documentation challenges through persistence and efficiently handling concurrent users.
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.

7.7

Sendbird maintains stable, efficient real-time messaging with minor issues, reliable support, and highly rated chatbot performance.
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

Bitrix24 needs improved UI, integrations, support, reporting, workflows, and simpler client communication for enhanced usability and performance.
Sendbird must enhance documentation, stability, pricing, features, analytics, and updates while refining SDKs for better integration across platforms.
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.

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Bitrix24 pricing competitive, recommending licensed plans for functionality and affordability compared to other solutions.
Enterprise users find Sendbird's pricing high, with various plans and occasional discounts, deterring some from committing before completion.
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
Compared to other chat providers, Sendbird is not that expensive to integrate.
Senior Software Professional at Merkle INC
 

Valuable Features

Bitrix24 provides an integrated platform with CRM, collaboration, and automation tools, valued for usability and comprehensive business functions.

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.

Featured Reviews

Abasiakama Bassey - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder at Elxae Hub
A project management tool that offers great scalability and stability
The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement. From an improvement perspective, Bitrix24 should consider providing live and upfront support to its users, especially those who use the solution's free version. If you want someone to get on your platform for which you can't provide support, then it doesn't make that platform any different from its competitors. It would make sense to people if Bitrix24 could provide support for even their free version. It would be good if Bitrix24 added some accounting elements to the tool instead of just providing functionality related to bookkeeping alone since it can help Bitrix24 become a complete tool. During the setup phase of the solution, the tool should provide its users an option to add the accounting part, making it a complete solution.

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.
