Drift earned “top product” for availability and quality of training, ease of implementation, ease of IT administration, and product strategy and rate of improvement. Drift received a Net Emotional Footprint Score of 89%. Amazon Lex’s users were highly satisfied, giving the vendor the number-one spot in ease of data integration and integration with CRM and a “likeliness to recommend” score of 83%. Zendesk Chat users gave the vendor first place in usability and intuitiveness and 85% for its Net Emotional Footprint score.

“Chatbots and Virtual Assistants in the commercial market are becoming more and more advanced, integrated, and widespread. Thanks to the availability of virtual assistants in the consumer market such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, our interaction with virtual assistants is becoming part of our daily lives. With advancement in AI and natural language processing (NLP) being the norm in the chatbot and virtual assistant market, chatbot and virtual assistant interaction is more seamless and opens up endless possibilities for automated services.” Benedict Chang, research specialist, Info-Tech Research Group.
