The avochato platform works consistently, as designed, with (in two years) zero downtime. The API is simple to use but has methods for all the functionality I need. The team is responsive from sales to development. Everyone is appreciative of my business (and keep in mind I'm a small business with 15 employees) and treats me like an important client. Ultimately, avochato fills a fantastic space as more and more business conversations move away from e-mail to SMS.
There were one or two small issues during our setup with the avochato integration with Slack. Some of our frontline staff use avochato only through slack and do not touch the avochato dashboard. The slack /avo command wasn't working as expected. I brought this to the attention of the development team. They promised me a timeline for a fix (one week I think), then provided me an update when the issue was fixed faster than previously expected. This kind of communication and pro activeness is what makes me excited to work with the avochato team
Our customers (and potential customers) want to interact with us through text more than through e-mail and it's reaching a point where interacting with us through text exceeds other channels. Avochato allows each customer to feel like they are interacting with someone on a cellphone in a very personal fashion, when in fact, they are interacting with a team. This happens so seamlessly with avochato. This is what really adds value in the sales process. Also, the webchat feature is a huge plus—basically it moves webchat onto the customer's phone and into a SMS thread instead of having to keep your browser open—plus that's a simultaneously seamless way to capture a potential lead's cell phone number right off the bat.
Service from their sales team is amazing, the automation is awesome, the app and browser apps are super quick and easy to use, and the price is great as it saves our staff a ton of time.
Limitations on extensions for the voice service (were actually using a separate service for voice and were only using avochato for sms)
Saving a ton of time and tracking our potential customers has never been easier. We can send out last minute reminders and offers quickly and its easy to remove people from communication as needed
Avochato has a great interface that is very easy-to-use and great for sales teams. I love that it has flawless auto-assignment rules along with solid reporting to show who is responding to their leads in the system the quickest. We are also very happy with the way that new users can quickly learn the program in a matter of just a few minutes after a quick training w/ myself.
Have not really found a dislike just yet. Great service at a great price! Happy with everything that Avochato is able to do for us.
We are solving the issue of having to manually assign new leads to sales people as they come in. Avochato takes care of this process easily and quickly for us. Avochato works well to give us more power to have flexibility and transparency into our SMS Marketing Campaigns on a monthly basis.
It is super easy to use, you don't need an army of volunteers/employees to use it. The pricing tiers are easy and transparent, and their technical help is so fast and great. They even texted me to let me know I was going over my plan so I didn't overspend.
I don't have much improvement to the tool.
We have used it for client engagement, for political mobilizing, and for team coordinating. The tool saved us time, and it was key to keep engagement and respond to questions we didn't know the subjects had.
So easy to use - they made a great product. I taught myself how to use it in an hour and my team was off to the races even faster. It’s helped us close more business - well worth the cost.
Haven’t had any problems either Avochato yet - customer support has answered all our questions right away
This has changed the way we communicate with our customers across sales and customer support. We used to leave voicemails and never hear from customers again - now we use Avochato and we are reaching customers 5x more than previously and closing deals in weeks instead of months. Customer support can handle more inquiries - Avo is a game changer
We were looking at different SMS services to help with recruiting and contacting job candidates. Niche services charge a premium for being candidate-friendly, but honestly Avochato gets everything done at a fraction of the price.
One thing we don't like is their web widget which isn't very helpful. It isn't very noticeable on the page; all you see is a picture of an Avochato which doesn't tell anyone that is actually a chat icon. Would be cool if Avochato did more than SMS and could integrate web chat and FB Messenger
We use Avochato to communicate with job applicants.
The instant value! It took hardly any time at all for our team to get used to the platform and start communicating with our customers which has allowed us to provide next-level service. It has been a real game changer.
Honestly, we feel as though we have gotten exactly what we signed up for and more, no complaints. Love working with Ryan too!
Connecting with our customers. We have never had more ways to get in touch wiht one another so it is important to stay on the cutting edge of technology and communicate in the way customers want to be communicated with.
Our team needed a quick turnaround of services for last minute get out the vote efforts for a client. Avochato was able to get us up and running same day and answered our questions within minutes of texting.
We haven't had an experience with Avochato's team where we have come away un-satisfied.
We are solving our political client's GOTV efforts at a reduced cost and with better effect.
