What users say
Sendbird is commonly used by enterprises that need a managed platform covering both the AI support layer and the underlying chat infrastructure in one solution. A frequently noted strength is the human handoff capability, which preserves conversation context when escalating to agents. A common limitation is that the platform is designed and priced for enterprise needs, making it less practical for smaller teams looking for a quick self-serve chatbot setup.
