What do you like best about Pendula?

I like the applications flexibility. It can do multiple things at the same time. And all of this is customisable. We can design a lot of workflows and messaging systems as per our requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendula?

The application has a too many of options to work with. At times this acts as a downside to the application. Also the application enhancements, i do not see one too many enhancements being applied to this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I worked for a small amount of time with this application where we would configure our messaging. Upside to this would be the customer would have our availability at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pendula Overview

What is Pendula?

Pendula is an enterprise customer engagement platform designed to help organisations maximise Customer Lifetime Value and foster stronger connections with their audience. By focusing on "moments that matter," Pendula enables businesses to engage customers in a personalised way, optimising conversion rates and enhancing the overall experience across every touchpoint. This platform is especially beneficial for businesses aiming to streamline communication processes without requiring extensive technical knowledge. With no coding skills necessary, Pendula supports automated and personalised two-way communication across multiple channels, including mobile, SMS, email, social messaging, and even fax. Now with RCS (Rich Communication Services) as a new channel, Pendula’s platform provides even more flexibility, allowing customers to receive interactive, media-rich messages on compatible devices. This channel range ensures that customers receive messages at their convenience, regardless of location or preferred method of communication, and supports an omnichannel marketing approach. Pendula’s robust suite of engagement and workflow automation tools empowers organisations to understand and respond to customer behaviour effectively. Key features include real-time analytics, omnichannel engagement across mobile, in-app, and web platforms, and a user-friendly interface that enables rapid campaign creation and delivery. Pendula also integrates seamlessly with over 80 systems via a rich API and native-built integrations, making it adaptable to various organisational needs. Pendula’s advanced Intelligence Suite brings new dimensions to customer engagement with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), offering tools such as sentiment analysis, data classification, and categorisation. This suite enables businesses to gain deeper insights into customer preferences, attitudes, and needs, providing critical intelligence that allows organisations to deliver timely and relevant content tailored to their audience. By leveraging these insights, businesses can anticipate customer behaviours and respond in a proactive and personalised way, enhancing engagement across the customer journey. Pendula’s criteria segmentation and event-based flows give businesses granular control over their communication strategies. This means organisations can drill down within a flow, enabling the creation of targeted customer journeys that respond to specific customer segments. By tailoring messages to unique audiences based on behaviours, attributes, or past interactions, Pendula empowers businesses to ensure the right message reaches the right person at the right time. This degree of customisation is essential for driving meaningful engagement, as customers increasingly expect brands to interact with them in ways that are personalised and relevant. Moreover, Pendula’s workflow automation capabilities enable seamless updates to billing systems, CRM, and other source data, automatically triggering next best actions based on customer interactions. By integrating directly with platforms like Salesforce and Zuora, Pendula ensures that every customer interaction is seamlessly linked to relevant data, providing a comprehensive view of each customer’s journey. This unified data stream supports informed decision-making and allows businesses to optimise their engagement strategies over time. Trusted by clients such as Shippit, amaysim, Origin Energy, and the University of London, Pendula has demonstrated its ability to elevate customer engagement strategies across diverse industries.

What do you like best about Pendula?

The best thing about Pendula is definetly their top notch customer service. Everytime we had a question or needed help our representative has been incredibely responsive and friendly. Although the Salesforce integration wasn’t straightforward, we had guidance through every step of the process. They made sure we were set up correctly and didn’t leave us hanging at any point, which made a potentially frustrating experience much more manageable.

Once everything was set up, Pendula proved to be a reliable and user-friendly platform. The messaging flows are straightforward, and they’ve made it much easier to keep our communications organized and consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendula?

While the Pendula is great overall, there are some areas for improvement. The integration with Salesforce, as mentioned, took some effort—it would be nice if that process could be smoother in the future.

Also, the messaging flows could use more advanced features, like a “loop” function to repeat certain actions. This would make automation much more powerful and flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a short term rental management company we have huge amount of automated messages we need to send to our guests on daily basis. It is really important that these automations work seamlessly to ensure our guests get information they need to check in or complete booking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Simon Walsh of Pendula

Thanks so much for your feedback Paula, fantastic to hear about your experience to date and thrilled that you've mentioned our customer service as a highlight. We've got some huge updates to the Salesforce integration rolling out this quarter which we're looking forward to sharing with you and the team. Stay tuned!

What do you dislike about Pendula?

I wish that I could do a trial of the flow and I wish that it had a built in character counter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pendula solves the challenge of effectively targeting our client communications.

Monica - thank you so much for sharing your positive feedback. Pleased to say built in character count is coming shortly but a dedicated flow trial feature is a cool idea!

What do you like best about Pendula?

As a systems administrator, I find Pendula’s seamless integration with Salesforce significantly enhances my ability to manage bulk messaging efficiently. The platform allows me to create flows similar to Salesforce reporting, which is incredibly useful. I can easily track the number of recipients and use flow triggers to schedule and activate various functionalities. These features streamline my operations and ensure consistent communication with both customers and staff. The user-friendly interface and robust automation capabilities make Pendula an indispensable tool in my daily workflow. I frequently use it as a System Administrator and train other usrers to use Pendula. I find Pendula’s seamless integration with Salesforce and user-friendly interface made the implementation process straightforward and well-supported. I have been in contact with Pendula various times to clarify some doubts and they have been really responsive and helpful rpoviding clear guidance whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendula?

One area for improvement is the ability to see the specific recipients of bulk messages. While I can check the number of recipients, it would be beneficial to have a feature that allows exporting a report of the recipients who will receive the message. This would help in identifying any discrepancies with Salesforce data and ensure more accurate communication Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Pendula solves the problem of efficiently managing bulk messaging within Salesforce. It allows me to create and automate personalized communication flows, track recipient numbers, and schedule messages, which saves time and ensures consistent communication with both customers and staff. This streamlines my workflow and enhances overall productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendula?

There is an initial learning curve when first using the tool, however the Pendula team provide you with help each step of the way where required and there is an abundance of user guides and help options to guide you on correct use of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Pendula has allowed our business to think about all touchpoints in the customer and employee journies and how can we look to add value at each step. We are still working our way through all of the possibilities, but it has been helpful in getting us to think bigger and how we can add value across the lifecycle. The new email tool is excellent and new features are being added regularly which is really exciting to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
