Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The best part of this software is that you can handle all of it from your phone as if you were just texting someone. If someone hops on your website and has any questions or concerns a notification comes up on the bottom corner of the page providing a way for the visitor to contact the company. These messages do go straight to the phone of the the individual over the website, which makes the communication personable and quick.
  • Podium has an excellent interface; it has a high quality in sending files, I can send images or audios without losing quality. Besides that, I use it to create more effective communication and with guaranteed security conditions. Podium cloud is incredible for storing information.
  • This is by far the best review gathering platform for Google around. I think they are actually backed by Google.
  • To get all your reviews from different platforms makes it easier and saves time in the process. A very user friendly app which is easy to set up.
  • It makes interactions easy. Using only one platform we can reply to each and every messages. Google, Facebook, Instagram we can easily connect with our customer on any platform using this software. Responses very quickly. Simple and easy to use. Also we can check the history of any customers interaction.
  • Easy to use for both admins & users Efficient Review tracking Great dashboard for comprehensive view Integration with many platforms like Google, Facebook Automated Review invites feature Responsive customer service
  • The interface for both the administrator and customer is very simple and attractive. I can easily send someone a review invite in within few seconds that goes directly to the customer's phone. It's very effective and quick.
  • Clients can leave Google locals and Facebook review with some clicks. Which makes your business get recognized. Attractive and clean overall user interface. Easy to respond on negative feedback.
  • We've used this with a lot of our clients and it's a great way to send out sms reviews on the go and live chat on your website.
  • Easy to use and very simplistic. Encompasses everything you'd need to set up reviews to gather from customers.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • A great feedback tool that saves you time and effort. It's like a custom-made solution - you can configure it exactly how you want.
  • I love all the different campaigns we can monitor. The reporting and alerts are super helpful for our customer service staff.
  • ReviewInc has a rich data set. It is fantastic at its primary capability of reviews management. It is also allows has great reporting, workflows, automations, API's and even appointment scheduling. Of all the reviews platforms ReviewInc collects more reviews than any other. Their emails get into the inbox and their SMS system is highly effective.
  • It's extremely user-friendly. But when I do need help, the team is always there to jump in! When setting up a new client, I love that the system searches for existing review sites. And the word clouds are helpful to show our clients a visual of where their reputation stands.
  • ReviewInc has helped us balance the playing field against rogue negative reviews. In our industry, we are virtually helpless to defend ourselves against unfair, unreal and bogus reviews. Of course, we have legitimate unhappy customers, but that is a tiny fraction of our patients who absolutely love us and our work. With ReviewInc, we are able to find out about legitimate complaints more quickly and help rectify the situation.

Cons

  • High price, i didn’t find any more cons, i recommend it.
  • I wish there was a way we can import our own templates for the emails we send out.
  • The system is rich in many features. It takes some time to learn all the ins and outs of the program.
  • No cons, really! The only thing I can think of is that it would be nice to be able to respond directly to ALL reviews within the system. Right now I can only respond to Google and Facebook reviews within the platform and have to go to Yelp, Mapquest, etc. to respond to those.
  • I am going to speak with them shortly because some of their analytics are not quite correct. Other than that, absolutely no complaints.
