Having everything in one location has significantly improved our efficiency and reporting
We need to be on VPN in order to set up and access the solution, and that has created some challenges. Even though it uses our Windows login, we still have to be on VPN.

"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
 

Cons

"Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost."
"Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement."
"The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved."
"Access is only available if we're on VPN."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For an ITIL user, the cost is probably about 50 bucks a month."
"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
