What do you like best about Gist?

Analyzing and segmenting contacts has become a breeze. With their amazing segmenting feature, it becomes extremely easy to look at what your contacts are engaging with and automatically have a "bird's eye view" of your contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

The workflow builder/journey builder is not good enough for us to switch over to a higher-level of gist. We're currently using a lower plan that doesn't include the journey builder. So we combine our Gist account and use it alongside an AutoPilot account (because that one has a better journey builder). And also because of a few quirks (custom fields on gist have weird limitations that autopilot doesn't). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gist allows my website visitors to get on demand information, from a live person right when they're looking for it. That's 10X better than having a plain ole contact form will ever be! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was getting alot of website visitors but very low conversions, I sell high ticket items and users seem to only convert once there is an element of trust. Gist helps with visits who do not want to email or phone but are more willing to shoot an instant message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gist?

GIST is one of the best all-in-one business solutions for especially SAAS companies, also helping integrated and connected with each module which you were waiting for. Messenger, e-mail, collision detection, tracking, prompts, tags, automation, insights, help centre and many more features are waiting for discovery. Those are my favourites by the way. There is one more thing: has a free tier in pricing :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

I couldn't see any wrong or glitch but maybe more integration would be good for application and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gist?

Ability to add live chat and assign to teammates is very nice and access from a mobile device; furthermore chat assistants help in a lot of ways - my clients love this personalized touch of having a chat prompt on their screen and they can reply back whenever they need some help. Live chat is what we use the most, then email marketing then knowledge base we set it up once and that's working flawlessly

The platform is improving in a lot of ways (have seen a lot of changing happening in the past 1.5 years) and i would continue to use gist for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

It's not a dislike but they way how gist works; I was used to email lists and when i shifted to gist - they have tags and segments - so that's needed to be taken care of when you come from other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gist:

Give it a try, most likely it would work for you and gist team is very helpful in setting things up for easier use; some times we need help with setting up or new features being introduced, they help us guide Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) Quicker support to customers with live chat, chat assistants and facebook messenger integration.

2) Ability to capture leads when we are not available

3) Sending emails from the same platform by using tags and

4) knowledge base helps in keeping a lot of frequently asked questions in place.

5) assigning meetings or calls with gist's book meeting feature within live chat or as a separate page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
