Retargeting campaigns have reduced booking cancellations but new users still need clearer guidance
I believe that retargeting is the best feature that Insider offers. The ease of use and the results are why the retargeting feature stands out for me. Insider reads the results near real-time and provides AI segmentation. We only need to prompt, and then Insider will work to determine which segment is best for each campaign. Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year. This is tracked through Insider; however, we also add additional attribution using AppsFlyer. We see significantly fewer employees needed for outbound calls because with Insider, we perform a reconfirmation of booking schedules automatically. This allows us to reduce the need for customer service outbound agents, and Insider has also helped us reduce cancellations.

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.

Pros

"Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year."

"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."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"Sendbird is a very strong, reliable tool when it comes to real-time communications."

Cons

"I think that Insider can be improved on the UI side because for someone with experience, Insider would be a very great tool."
"I did not enjoy using Insider AI to generate copies, push copies, and messages."
"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."
"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."
"For Sendbird to be improved, I would say creating more multi-platform SDKs is essential."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"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."
"Sendbird can be improved by looking into the app ID and improvements on a daily basis."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
