What do you like best about Sendbird?

Great AI tools, smart and easy to implement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sendbird?

Removes features after a few months, so buyer beware. Whatever you create may be taken away at any time. We had an entire system under their AI chatbot functionality and they decided to discontinue it in favor of a platform 5x the price. Sendbird is not feasible for medium size businesses.

Response from Jackie W of Sendbird

Hi Brett,

I’m Jackie from Sendbird. I’m truly sorry for the disruption caused by the discontinuation of our AI Chatbot. I know you invested considerable time and effort, and it’s frustrating to see that work abruptly end.

Our aim with the new AI agent is to deliver a more robust, future-proof solution, but the transition clearly hasn’t been smooth for you. We want to help you navigate next steps—whether that’s finding a more cost-effective plan or preserving the effort your team already put in. Our product team is listening closely to feedback like yours so we can learn and improve.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Our team has reached out via email to help. We’re here to support you however we can.

Sincerely,

Jackie

Manager, Customer Lifecycle Marketing, Sendbird

"Flexible Messaging Platform with Great Potential"
4/5
What do you like best about Sendbird?

We've found Sendbird to be a fantastic chat solution for our apps. What rreally stands is how flexible their SDKs and APIs are, we were able to customise every aspect to match our business requirements, look and feel. The real time messaging just works beautifully. Our users can chat instantly without any lag or hiccups most of the times. This helped us not spending weeks figuring out the platform we could just dive in and start building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sendbird?

We love a lot about Sendbird but tbh, The pricing is pretty tough to swallow, especially if you're running a startup or a smaller outfir watching every dollar. We had some sticker shock at first. Our team aksi hit some speed bumps during integration, If your team is newer to this kind of implementation, expect a steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sendbird for Salesforce is a game changer"
5/5
What do you like best about Sendbird?

Sendbird for Salesforce is easy to implement and configure.

We found Sendbird for Salesforce customisable through feature flags which helped to ensure it works best for our business process.

Chat summary is a cool feature that uses AI to summaries the conversation so that other agents and support staff can get a quick overview before speaking to the customer.

Support is fast and generally found any release or bug fixes available were provided to us in good time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel documentation could improve, and understanding the licensing model might help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Support and features are quite robust"
5/5
What do you like best about Sendbird?

Sendbird has an excellent technical support. Additionally their Chat API is very easy to integrate, and quite robust. One could tell that the features were well thought out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sendbird?

Similar to many other organizations out there, Sendbird's documentation sometimes does not reflect the depth of the feature, so one might discover something that wasn't documented as you implement. So I wouldn't necessarily consider this a dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
