Contextualized collaboration on records allows you to have historical conversations that are accessible by other users.
Chatter is a great way to connect your users, especially if your team is working in multiple time zones or locations. If you're struggling with why to use collaboration tools at all, I'd suggest you watch this video. One the best examples that I've seen is a property team who were managing the entire process from leasing properties with branding to shop merges via Salesforce. All of their notifications were email-based and they were getting 100s per day. By moving these alerts to automated posts into particular groups, the users could not only access multiple updates by using digests instead of per alert, but also choose to control who (group members) and how often they get those alerts.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Salesforce Chatter allows for contextualized collaboration on records that allows you to have historical conversations, which are easily accessible by other users."
"I love the streaming feed of information from the people that I'm following that encourages collaboration at a business level."
"It offers more than what you are looking for, for example, file sharing and "mentions"."
"It is now possible to share information instantly with all the company without sending emails, but also looking for a topic using the search function."
"Salesforce being the number one cloud-based CRM product, I think one can recommend it in the first go."
"It helped us to strengthen our digital community all over the world with a dedicated group to share project information and best practices."
"The conversation function to engage different groups is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"Sendbird is a very strong, reliable tool when it comes to real-time communications."
"Sendbird has positively impacted my organization because we do not have to build custom chatbots with code, and we could do no-code deployment, which is simply straightforward."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"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."
"The backend system was managed by Sendbird, eliminating the need for caching systems or local storage on user devices."
 

Cons

"We would not select them again."
"I would rate the technical support a 7/10 because Salesforce has its own way of looking at technical issues and sometimes takes its own time to implement or release changes as per their convenience."
"Live consumption of the communication needs to be improved so that it can offer more features similar to Twitter/Slack, such as a live rolling news feed, notification bells (to avoid email alerts), ability to share multiple files or actions in one post, etc."
"Chatter invites should be possible from the UI on opportunity records."
"The storage of documents was quite limited when we used the tool."
"I wish an organization could create a company-wide Chatter that automatically follows everyone else in the company so that widespread access was guaranteed."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"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."
"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."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"One area that could be improved is the handling and visibility of unread message counts."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
