Response workflow guide
Compare the response workflow, not just the software.
The useful comparison is what a customer experiences after a missed call or web-form request: silence, a generic inbox, or a clear first reply with a human next step.

Inbox only
The request is recorded, but the first response still depends on someone seeing it.
Response loop
The inquiry gets a timely acknowledgment and an explicit handoff to your team.
