Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really liked the chat-to-text feature. This was the only feature we used because it was the only thing that worked. Albeit, the chat code they gave us to install on our website did not work at first. It went through a few iterations before it would work. This is how our hate-hate relationship with hatch began. With something really basic, not working off the bat.

Cons

  • The downsides are that this app is faking it until they make it. It is a half-baked tool that cannot be configured by the end-user. Everything from campaigns to workflows has to be done by hatch after going through their many 30-minute, weekly onboarding calls. We paid a total of two months ($250/mo) and the only hatch "strategy" that worked was the chat-to-text feature in their "speed to lead" strategy. After a month of their onboarding, the following strategies were still not up and running: sales follow-up, customer experience, nurture and reviews. You cannot demo this app on your own, it is actually done expertly on their demo call. On this call, you get to see all the bells and whistles and I was convinced this would be a great help for our service business....until, the onboarding starts and you immediately get the sense that 1) they are short-staffed 2) customer service reps don't know what their website and knowledge-base state 3) onboarding calls could have been reduced to one call, instead of rushing through 30-minute, weekly calls, before you are scheduled for another call a week down the road. They state that hatch communicates with getjobber.com (our CRM). It might work for some, but it never worked for us. The chats and emails that we were having in hatch never made it back to Jobber, so we had to switch back and forth between apps to make sure we didn't miss any important information. By this time, I've paid another month of service ($250/mo) and the campaigns and the workflows are still not up and running and they attempt to schedule a fourth onboarding call. This is when I stopped caring about hatch and started looking for an alternative.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Being able to text keeps conversations. Transferred from Zipwhip easily. Price is competitive. Add new features at times/
  • Easy to use, great support staff, fairly priced, and highly productive We did a demo and got all our answers. Plus they didn't even try to get me in a contract, their product and service are their contract. How refreshing...
  • I like that it's easy to text multiple numbers at one time. I also like the ability to compose a template and use that template multiple times to multiple numbers. I work closely with HR and I help with our hiring process. Many of our applicants' voice mails on their cell phones are either not set up, or their voice mailbox is full. Many applicants screen their calls and just don't answer. But everyone checks their text messages and is more likely to respond to a text message rather than answer a call. It's easy to keep track of things.
  • I like that different profiles can be set so that in the office we can see who has responded to whom.

Cons

  • We are Zipwhip customers so a big drop off. Adding attachments is really poor compared to Zipwhip. And not being able to text to a group as little as 2 or 3 is ridiculous.
  • not many cons, they do exactly what they said, and I love that.
  • I don't like that you can't delete messages. They just fill up the page. That's the first thing I see when I open Text Request, a long list of old messages that I have already read and responded to. A lot of my messages are "no thank you". I would like to be able to quickly see useful messages. A lot of the messages are junk and I would like to be able to delete them and not archive them. I feel it's wasted space and time to have to keep scrolling through old and useless messages.
  • I don't like that when you search for a particular person, the options don't narrow down automatically (ie, without having to press enter on the search)
