What do you like best about CometChat?

What I value the most about CometChat is their outstanding customer service. I trust that they will continue to offer timely help consistently in the future. I get quick responses for any problems, and their staff is always available to assist, whether by phone or other methods. Raising tickets is easy to do and provides great assistance.

Moreover, CometChat's SDK is remarkable; it provides extensive APIs and is compatible with various technologies like React, React Native, and Flutter. In comparison to other SDKs, they offer a variety of functions such as calling, reactions, emojis, and additional features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CometChat?

One thing I don't like about CometChat is how quickly they expect a response when a ticket is submitted. Frequently, they anticipate prompt responses from customers, which can be difficult as many of us have our own responsibilities to handle, even on weekends. Furthermore, despite indications of enhancement in their SDK, there have been notable challenges in React Native during recent months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

CometChat tackles various obstacles encountered in the development of chat applications. Historically, setting up a chat platform could require several months, but with CometChat, we can incorporate it within a single day. The easy-to-use interface and wide range of features, such as messaging capabilities, allow us to develop an app similar to WhatsApp promptly. This effectiveness is advantageous for companies, plus CometChat provides cost-effective pricing in comparison to other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CometChat?

Realtime chat, voice call, video call, stickers with moderation. As I am a developer most features I like are API support and webhooks which help too much to track times duration and all if you want to perform anything based on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CometChat?

If I say honestly nothing is there to dislike. but as I am a WordPress developer. I used this service for my WordPress website and there are some limitations to customising it for WordPress in terms of designing backend side they provide lots of things with API and webhooks. so try to improve something if you can.

it would be more helpful to developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

See one of my client have a custom requirement. like they want a website with chat, voice calls, and video calls with some real-time stickers. so I just google it and I found this service. and the biggest requirement of my client is he wants to deduct some kind of credit based on messages, stickers, voice calls and video call duration. As I said Comet Chat has a huge API and webhook support so the biggest problem of mine which is deducting credits is resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CometChat?

Pre-built UI components make initial implmentation and integration quick and easy. CometChat team responds to support inquiries quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CometChat?

APIs and SDKs appear to have some bugs and limitations, especially for customization purposes. Documentation is confusing, hard to navigate, not very thorough, and often times incorrect. I've had to contact support about many simple questions that the documentation should've covered. Also, when contacting support I recieve responses from multiple team members, which becomes confusing and unnecessary. I would rather have my request reviewed and forwarded to the technical team and recieve one email back with either a solution or request for more information.

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

In platform chatting, including notifications and custom built forms sent within the app. Video calling for virtual meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CometChat?

From my experience, CometChat offers very high customization options compared to other libraries particularly on their UIKit. Documentation is good and detailed with actual pictures. The integration of library or UIKit is very seemless too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CometChat?

Livechat could improve, they are currently creating ticket regardless of any topic which defeats the purpose. Some of android UIKit code is using non ideal approach and flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Library that provides ability to video/audio call while providing consistency and customization across all platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here, I am not talking about the integration of CometChat, but rather highlighting the commendable support provided by the CometChat team. I encountered an issue with user presence (online/offline), and the team has been assisting me thoroughly for the past month. During this time, they have been checking in with me every two days to inquire about the status and ensure everything is working fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CometChat?

Doesn't provide a document clearly,i.e for a new to development some integration methods are hard to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was working on a project that included a chat feature, and my project manager suggested using CometChat for this functionality. During the integration of CometChat, I encountered an issue with user presence (online/offline).

What do you like best about CometChat?

Our account manager, Hilary, is excellent - super responsive, helpful, and keen to find the best package for us. We've had very few issues with functionality, and it does what it needs to do. Also, whilst we've not taken advantage of much, it seems they have plenty of new products coming out regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost per visit to the site instead of per use, for us, is frustrating, but there are ways around this if you pay to develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
