Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.

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

"It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side, and although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information with real-time information available."
"Pega Customer Service is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is case management and different configurations."
"The technical support provided for all the solutions from Pega is of the same quality since they have their own internal teams and the same mechanisms, which are good for dealing with issues of different users."
"The product is scalable. It works efficiently for changing existing features."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"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."
"Sendbird is really valuable because I was able to create a chat from scratch in two to three days and a custom chat in a week by implementing things from scratch."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
 

Cons

"Pega JVM function needs to be improved."
"Integrating with non-Pega systems (e.g., legacy CRMs, third-party APIs) can require significant effort and custom development."
"The licensing cost could also be improved."
"The only concern I have seen about the product is its prices."
"Improvements are always required, but at this moment, the UI is the key area that is not flexible enough for us."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"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."
"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."
"One area that could be improved is the handling and visibility of unread message counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution provides licenses to users either based on the number of users or the number of cases that an end user creates."
"The tool's pricing is flexible, and I rate it four to five out of ten."
"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
