IS DRIFT EASY TO USE?
ACCESSIBILITY: 7/10
Drift’s user interface is multifunctional and allows company branding and customization. However, the dashboards can be difficult to manage, and configuring automated workflows can be challenging. Drift offers extensive videos to help you learn when and how to use different features, but if you’re looking for live response their customer service tends to be slow to answer inquiries.
CAN I USE DRIFT ON MY MOBILE DEVICE?
MOBILITY: 7.5/10
You can answer customers right way with Drift mobile applications for iOS and Android.
WILL DRIFT HELP ME SAVE TIME?
AUTOMATION: 4/10
It really depends on what you’re looking for. If you simply want a way to communicate with prospects then Drift will undoubtedly save you time. However, if you’re looking for a more holistic sales force and marketing automation system then you may want to opt for a CRM that already incorporates conversational marketing within their solution so that all your communication and information is under one roof.
