Unethical billing -they kept billing me after I cancelled and make it nearly impossible to cancel (4 requests, still not clear if I'm cancelled).

The platform helps people maintain their customer service with website visitors and prospects. They help you manage the contacts and leads you gain from their platform.

Drift is easy to use and pretty straightforward. Installing it on your website is super easy and they provide good support.

None with the software - they are the leader in the space for a reason. Their account executives are a bit pushy on upsells for additional features and functionality.

Very satisfied with the manner in which we use it. I haven't spent much time exploring additional capabilities and advanced features, but I am eager to do so in the near future.

Great team that I worked with at drift and great product idea. Finishing out or completing that vision would have been paramount.

Easy to deploy, affordable pricing, good customer support & easy chat playbook creation.

Started using drift for our startup after moving away from HubSpot. It has been a great learning curve for us.

Support team is friendly and responsive. Pricing (we started with the free version for a year).

It has been great but i believe much more integrated approach is needed.

Having the ability to intercept messages sent to your organization via your mobile device is great.

This useful tool has third party integrations that allow me to access data in a more useful way in order to get beneficial outcomes from it with less time spent.

Drift support, itself, is the best example of great customer service using their own solution. The support experience is always a delight.

So after losing a month+ in the process, Drift accepted to cancel the subscription BUT still charged us and refused to refund the initial month.

Quick signup, great for getting leads. I have not given instant messages on website much importance but when someone recommended it, i was convinced and Am very happy that i got it on my website too.

We've been using it for a few months and it was so easy to launch - lots of great help from the support team as well.

The tool is easy to use and allows us to quickly onboard our users. The chat workflows are intuitive, and I love how easy it is to build bots to streamline communications.

Drift is an amazing tool that helps you communicate directly and seamlessly with your website visitors.

Drift is designed to help people accomplish their business goals, especially B2B business goals, which is super helpful.

A bit unprofessional by having emojis and Gifs.

Unable to see how long each conversation is taking for each of my agents to work through. Have had multiple complaints on lag in the chat service loading within our software.

The interface is nice and easy to navigate. Support is great as one would expect.

Drift is, so to say - sexy I love the look and feel much better compared to other website chat/bots solutions.

I'll admit that as an admin onboarding this software, it takes sometime to get familiar with the new set up of chatboxes and playbooks. Overall though, it proves to bring results to our team.

Just an awful approach to customer service and the worse experience with a vendor after 15 years in IT.

It is very easy to use but more importantly, it is very easy to love using. This is important in software adoption and Drift is one of the best examples I have seen of this in recent years.

A good onboarding tool but with steep pricing plans.

Drift allows me to connect with prospects easily and quickly. The bot is helpful when we are away, but I can personal messages when need be.

Everything has been pretty good so far and as we expand use we know we will have good support.

I love the ability to set up multiple chat bots/playbooks based on use cases. The ability to engage with a target account real time is invaluable.

This software has allowed us the ability to easily and rapidly respond to our clients queries. Providing our client this type of interaction is important to building a relationship with them.

Love the ease of installing to my site and help to boost my customer support presence without massive investment. It's deeply personal and conversation driven.

It didn't capture leads for us. I think our buyers hated the bot.

And setting up things might be a bit tricky if you’re a newcomer in the world of analytics/JavaScript.

The pricing model (MTUs) when you have a lot of anonymous users can be a problem.

Setting new events is easy and the software is very intuitive. The real-time debugger view is super helpful during software development.

Certain resolutions to bad data were a challenge to make work.

Great, it helps a lot in collecting customer's information.

The ability to insert third-party snippets on our site through Segment. The pricing structure of charging by usage rather than by seat, making it easy to increase adoption across the org.

It's great if you want to track very basic behaviors like button clicks or form submissions.

Segment is a great CDP that helps you collect, clean, and control your customer data.

Segment is great - great support & documentation. It's very reliable, covering all your third-party integrations.

The ability to easily connect disparate sources of customer data. The ease of adding sources and destinations with or without native integration with Segment.

I can't extract the list of events in order to review them offline (in order to manage which to keep and which to disable).

Good experience overall. A great out of the box and flexible solution.

Not all connections are intuitive and the UI makes it hard to find payload information and logs.

It provides full detailed documentation and a few ready SDK that helps a lot of dev to quickly implement this tool inside the platform.

Overall experience has been quite frustrating so far. Hopefully this will change as it looks like this tool has great capabilities.

Segment is a wonderful tool for us due to its intuitive interface, extensive documentation, and ability to debug events.

Easy to setup, great customer support, excellent choice of services, simply amazing.

Custom integration or customization is really hard to do, third parties implementation sometimes lack some essential feature that would become a hard blocker during the integration.

Thus far, I've been able to get the exact data I need, and for that I am grateful to have Segment.

This saves us a ton in developer costs in time, and makes it very easy to vet new tools for our analytics and marketing stacks.

Also the Segment interface is well designed and easy to navigate. The settings for your Destinations are all clear and laid out, so you can make changes effortlessly.

Ease of use and great software for marketing analytics.

Easy to use and has great customer service and support.

Segment has some of the strongest and most useful lists of integrations for any SaaS product.

Somethimes it is hard to debug or know what is happening if something goes wrong.

The great debugger web-based tool. The tool to create audiences to group users by some properties or events.

Hundreds of integrations (and, with the recent Zapier integration, millions of possible combinations). Easy to understand pricing.

I love the simplicity and functionality of Segment.

3rd party integration is very good , ease of use and whole ecosystem.
