What do you dislike about Espressive, Inc.?

We are at the forefront of using Barista and trying to utilize all the features that come with Barista. This was painful as some of the features like the mailing list automation was created but were still very buggy. However, the results of getting it implemented will continue to save us time in the fututre. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Espressive, Inc. solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to remove simple tasks that service members would normally have to handle. The first one was being able to provision from the user's request, manager approval, and then the OKTA application being assigned to them in OKTA. Allowing software to be requested and then provisioned without any IT intervention. We were also about to use their Office 365 integration to automate mailing list related tasks. Now we don't have to worry about our mailing lists as everyone can manage them within the company while we record all these changes with JIRA tickets that auto-close.

What do you like best about Espressive, Inc.?

Barista's ability to seamlessly reduce the number of Helpdesk tickets created by our user base. This product provides us with the ability to customize the answers it provides and the product is easily managed by our internal IT team. One the first week of going live with Barista, over 60% of user questions were correctly answered. The questions that weren't properly answered were updated with the help of the Espressive team's weekly reports that show us opportunities for improvement. This helps us continuously improve Barista's knowledge!

It's important to mention that Barista's project deployment team and Marketing team are made up of very talented All-Stars that know what they're doing and know how to achieve the best results. Working with them has been such a pleasure. I can't say enough good things about their professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to do the necessary to help us achieve the results we're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espressive, Inc.?

There's absolutely nothing to dislike about Espressive. After launching Barista, our IT team has been able to spend more time training and learning new skills, since Barista has been able to answer so many of our customer questions. This has been nothing but a win for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Espressive, Inc. solving and how is that benefiting you?

Espressive has provided us with a new Helpdesk level one support system that allows our colleagues to get an effective answers to their questions on the fly. This allows them to get the help they need faster than ever. What also makes this tool so convenient is that if Barista doesn't have an answer for them, Barista will automatically create a Helpdesk ticket on their behalf and assign it to an IT expert. This has become a one-stop shop for our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Espressive, Inc.?

The ability to enable our users to solve their issues immediately saves IT time and increases the user's productivity without waiting on others to solve simple, impactful issues. Furthermore, Barista's capability of answering or solving repeat issues allows the team to focus on the more significant problems and ultimately resolve those repeat issues - becoming a strategic partner versus a reactive one! Last but not least, the support of the Espressive team has allowed me and my team to make quick and impactful changes to Barista, enhancing the user experience and Barista's capabilities almost in real-time. This responsiveness, in turn, has driven increased adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espressive, Inc.?

Just as with any tool, care and feeding are necessary to increase the tool's value. This is not a fault of Barista or Espressive but a necessity of the business that often is not taken as seriously as it should be. Barista's platform can be complex and needs someone to learn and pay attention to it to realize the most significant value.

One last note is that integrations of Barista with other platforms need resources who have intimate knowledge of the involved platforms and may take longer than expected as some integrations are not "out-of-the-box." This can be overcome with the right resources from both parties - be sure to plan ahead. However, once connected, the value is quickly realized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Espressive, Inc. solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our main business problem is scalability. As within most organizations, the IT team does not grow at the same rate as the rest of the business, so our challenge is to figure out how to continue to provide the level of service we desire with the marginally increased or static resources. Barista allows us to tackle repetitive service requests and incidents through user self-service or automation. Along with the analytics from Barista, the reduced "noise" frees up valuable "human" time to focus on the more complicated or urgent issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Espressive, Inc.?

Espressive Barista has enabled our IT team to lead by example and show the rest of the teams how automation can be seamless and beneficial in empowering employees. Barista's ability to understand the questions and the expanse of word cloud makes it easy to capture and map different questions and map them to the correct answers.

Collaborating with the Espressive team has been an absolute pleasure. They are really good at what they do and with their feedback and constant support, we had a good start and see a growing use within the organization. Regular meetings and comprehensive reports from the team makes it easy to improve the knowledge base and capture any new questions that come our way.

Shout out to all the people at Espressive for making it easy to collaborate with them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Espressive, Inc.?

I like that Barista is unlike other bots I've used. Instead of asking a question and having a 2-page article display on the screen, we can program Barista to interact with the customer and display a step-by-step answer. For more complex scenarios, Barista will allow the customer to verify the information and answer one question simultaneously, preventing the customer from getting overwhelmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espressive, Inc.?

Depending on the organization and the security restrictions, Barista can be very complex to setup. For our organization, the most valuable win with Barista, would be to automate processes fully. This means that after answering a few questions, Barista would take care of the rest. Unfortunately, we are not quite there yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Espressive, Inc.?

I like the ease of adding new information to the intelligent agent. The no-code interface for creating new workflows is excellent for anyone who wants to learn it. The reliability of the service is a high point. In the days of multiple outages of other products like Microsoft 365, we have not experienced any outages over several years of using the product.

What do you like best about Espressive, Inc.?

I have plenty of good things to say about Barista. First, off the Barista Shop is amazing. It's an easy way for users to see what softwares we offer and can easily request a software. Barista have deflected many common support IT tickets, as it answers commonly asked questions or create a ticket upon request for certain things needed. Automation is defintely one of the key highlight allowing the Tech Team to be more hands off. Barista serves as a great self service tool, giving back the IT Team time and resources to dedicate to other tasks. We have also integrated Barista into our Slack Help Desk Channel and it is particularly popularing, getting tons of traction daily. In addition, I would like to thanks the Espressive Team especially Dylan for the continuous support training our internal Tech Team and assisting us with building our Barista. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espressive, Inc.?

Barista is a great tool, but need to keep in mind that it is still conintiously being developed. But upside is that the support and engineer Espressive Team are really quick to address concerns and features requested! Excellent Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Espressive is helping us empower users to use this self service tool to empower our users. Not only that, it is saving us tons of time and resources to dedicate it elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
