What do you like best about Gist?

It includes in a single place several functions that are quite useful when managing an online store, from chat support to automation of sending mail, everything is possible to get it in the same place, and its chat allowed me to work it simultaneously with the social networks of my business, which allows me to better manage the requirements of my clients. Its simplicity is its greatest virtue, since for me the fact that it can do everything from a fairly simple window and in a fairly practical way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

It is noted that some functions have not been fully created and tested, for example push notifications, although they should reach me when there is some new content or something that is of interest to me, it still does not Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has been very useful for me to improve various processes related to the digital marketing of my business, since previously I had no idea what I should do to improve it, but now thanks to Gist I have been able to perform various tasks such as email marketing campaigns , content creation for my social networks and many other things that have helped me a lot in this task of improving my communication strategies and dissemination of my brand information.

What do you like best about Gist?

Excellent system since they allow companies to market, sell and communicate with their customers in a safe and very responsible way. Its cost is very well evaluated since they offer you an amount of progress and an estimated time very adequate for the price they propose giving you benefits and better experiences with this type of application. It contains certain functions which are: knowledge base, support chat, transactional emails which are connected in one place by workflows being very determined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

They have several problems, some features are very underdeveloped like pop-ups because it lacks more progress and well-developed functions to be able to use it the way it should be but for those methods it also needs server to client Communications upgrades, especially in the area of updating the products so that they can be used as a multiplatform and work together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recommend it for companies that want to generate very good communication with their customers because it allows you to have closer conversations with your customers and businesses which generate much more information and knowledge to have a better understanding of your company to sales and profits to your customers because it focuses this application in that way. I recommend it as a good use for marketing very easy to make it a reality for the company well customized and designed because the steps are very complex and great to make your advertising.

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

I use it as a support in order to help create excellent experiences for customers in their stage of using the system well highlighted.

What do you dislike about Gist?

In the years that I have been operating this service its operation has been good, I consider that it has to improve a little the support team so that it is faster, it needs availability of mobile application and more speed in the operation of its interface so that we can work with greater effectiveness, until the moments I am very satisfied of working with Gist since I have been able to work with an effective marketing in all our organization.

What do you like best about Gist?

universal inbox to streamline social channel inquiries, very powerful live chat and chatbot with a great UX for the user, powerful event tracking and automation rules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

integration with ecom platforms leaves a bit to be desired. So for example it's great to be able to have all sorts of triggers and automation scenarios, but the utility is a bit limited if I can't send a dynamic cart recovery email, with a one click button that will re-generate the checkout for the user. The popup builder is nice, better than MANY tools out there, but not quite as powerful as Convertful -- thankfully Convertful has a direct integration with Gist so I can use them in tandem.

I think for a saas platform Gist is already there as a platform, like 100%, for ecom sites it's 95% there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gist:

Get it now if you're willing to get your hands a bit dirty with implementation. It's got great features already and more in the pipeline for a great cost. Outstanding value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

marketing automation, lead capture and lead nurture, lead segmentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gist?

The interface is easy to understand and makes the process of using it very simple. I feel like using Gist on a day-to-day basis makes things simpler for us in order to answer our client's questions and keep in touch with them.

I think it makes communication smooth, I enjoy the email notifications and so many other features that alert us or our clients.

I recently enjoyed their revamp on the snooze system, it makes everything much simpler to keep track of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

Sometimes the app can be slow or doesn't load altogether. This often happens where there is a big demand (such as Christmas sales or Black Friday). This should be addressed!

I also have trouble sometimes snoozing chats or closing them and it can be very troublesome sometimes. The number of chats opened doesn't go down and there is a big difficulty in synchronizing this.

Also, I dislike the fact that files and images are sent as separate files, especially when I need them attached to the message to get ideas clear to the clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gist:

Simply using it every day will answer all your questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Talking and offering advice to our clients is very easy. 😊 Communication is made easy through attaching files, images, adding gifs and much more. I also enjoy being able to see a lot of details regarding our customers' information (email, user code, browser, computer system etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
