Thumbs Up for SnapEngage
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use SnapEngage to communicate with prospective students, alumni, and community members in real-time. We are able to troubleshoot application and tech issues they're experiencing and send them links to pertinent program information. It's especially helpful in providing customer service across regions where telephone connectivity is more difficult. Team members within our department can also use SnapEngage to communicate with one another.
Pros
- Allows team members to see type in real-time before it is submitted. This enables us to gather information for responses in a more timely manner.
- We can see which of our team members are available, busy, or not-available.
- Ability to see some biographical information of chatters and to sync information with Salesforce.
Cons
- The team chat is easily missed. The notifications could be made more prominent.
- There's no way to delete old team members from the dashboard.
Likelihood to Recommend
SnapEngage is helpful for helping chatters navigate unfamiliar processes. You can walk them through multiple steps in one conversation. It's a very helpful and efficient alternative to a call or email. If multilingual team members are available, it would be helpful if chatters could request support in a particular language and have their chat automatically assigned to the team member conversant in their preferred language.
