Texting is Not the Future, it's Now.

This software is very user-friendly and easy to set up. It really provides a way for your customers to better engage with your business.

PROS

Captivated allows us to communicate with customers the way they want. Barely 20% of emails are opened and read, but 100% of text messages are. We have only scratched the surface of what this software can do and it has already paid for itself. The way of the world is texting and immediate gratification. Customers want answers immediately, and texting affords us the two-street of preferred communication. It also comes with a chat feature, so we're able to offer both texting and live chat.

CONS

There aren't many limitations, but if you want to use this for mass marketing messages, it could get costly. Otherwise, it's a very affordable way to communicate with new and existing customers.

Reason for choosing Captivated

It was a superior product with the offerings we specifically wanted at a lower price.

Reasons for switching to Captivated

We wanted the ability to text with our customers and offer a live chat function.

Vendor Response

Erica, thank you so much for the kind words. Love to hear that the software pays for itself! We hope to continue to serve you for years to come!

Captivated and their team was outstanding!

I have been in customer service for a long time and have had to work with support teams constantly. Most the time I was put on hold or transferred back and fourth, no one could find the answer or it took days to get back to me. Not with captivated! I'll admit I am not one to leave a review for people...ever. But with Captivated I had to because they were that amazing to work with!! The self scheduling and follow up system was great, but the support and help that I received while working with the Captivated team was the selling point for me. They really go above and beyond. So nice and helpful but FAST always received responses right away and first thing the Monday morning if I messaged on a weekend or after hours. To me that is everything because transferring a business over to a new system you constantly have questions and are needing to adjust and they were able to help every step of the way.

PROS

The software that Captivated provides is very user friendly, responsive, easy to navigate and makes contacting customers so convent. Switching over to using Captivated was with such ease and working with their Captivated Support was unlike no other! I received fast responses each time and every time I needed to change something or make it easier they were able to fix/change it right away. When I needed help they would call me or explain everything in detail and made sure I understood and that is what I wanted. The system was so customizable but the default settings were amazing from the start. The way it always reminded and sent out messages on a good timeline was the best part. This allowed me to do more with my in person customers and the system to do the contacting work for me.

CONS

I didn't like that on my google calendar that I attached I couldn't just select a date and book the appointment I had to send them a booking link first. Then I found out that Captivated Support just had to send me the links to bookmark and I wouldn't have to do it that way. It was so much easier after I found that out. My only recommendation for that would be to let users know about that and explain it a bit more in depth. However this might have been on me and I didn't understand because in the beginning when we switched over I had a lot of other things going on as well.

Vendor Response

Kyra, thank you so so much for the kind words! They definitely put a smile on my face. Love the "system did the contacting for me". So nice, right?! I will definitely make sure to explain the calendar integration and options more clearly moving forward. Again, thank you so much for your business and being so great to work with!

Daily Captivated Life

It gets the job done. We still have to have an employee hand type every phone number for the daily contact list. It's frustrating but we're glad we still have the option.

PROS

I enjoy how simple it is to teach our employees how to use it.

CONS

I'm frustrated that it doesn't work the way we were told it would work with RealGreen. The two aren't paried the way we were told they would be.

Reason for choosing Captivated

We were told Captivated was the only option we had with RealGreen. It doesn't work the way it is suppose to for us, though. A different product may be considered in the future.

Reasons for switching to Captivated

MightyText wasn't working for us the way we needed it to. We were getting too big for it.

Vendor Response

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that your experience did not match your expectation for the integration with Real Green. We are consistently working with Real Green to further improve and enhance the texting experience. I would love to connect with you to discuss how you would like to use Captivated with Real Green. Shooting you a message now. I believe we have options that will solve any issue you are experiencing. One of those would be doing a contact import. This will eliminate the need for any hand typing phone numbers for the daily contact list. If we work together, I believe we can come up with solutions to improve your company's efficiency and productivity utilizing both Captivated and Service Assistant in tandem. If there is anything else we can do, please let me know. Happy to help!

A must have tool for Real Green users

Very good - Happy with product/service and will continue to use.

PROS

Ease of use - ability to quickly text groups of customers

CONS

While not Captivated's fault, there is some integration missing within SA5/Real Green. This may be something they are working on but the integration could be better.

Reason for choosing Captivated

Captivated was highly recommended to me by a colleague in the business.

I got Captivated

It puts us in immediate contact with customers so that we stay apprised of any need that we may be able to fill.

PROS

The ability for our employees to text directly to our customer base from our business phone number.

CONS

I didn’t want to have to load our data into the system. As it turned out, Captivated Support did it for us.
