SURFLY CO-BROWSING

What is cobrowsing?

Co-browsing, also known as collaborative browsing or cobrowsing technology, allows users to navigate and interact with a web page together in real time. It enhances customer interactions, enabling you to seamlessly guide customers through sales or support journeys.

Surfly Co-browsing lets you do something no one else can — surf any site or web app without the need to add code or install third-party software.

“Financial and insurance advice is a personal discussion. We want our customers to have an experience that is as close to meeting in-person, even when our agents can’t be there physically.

Surfly helped us to do that quickly and at scale.”

How does co-browsing software work?

Co-browsing software works by sharing only what is in your browser tab, taking all the HTML content that makes up the web page you want to share, sending it to the participant, and recreating the page on their end. Since this data is text-based, it requires less bandwidth than screen sharing. That means it’s faster and less resource-intensive.

Is co-browsing safe?

Yes, co-browsing is the safest way to browse together as the interaction only occurs in a single browser tab and participants can never gain access to any other part of your device. Surfly Co-browsing takes it one step further as we let users hide sensitive information, use audit logs, and don’t require potentially dangerous third-party software installations. Screen sharing is not safe. It shares your entire desktop by streaming the pixels that make up your screen – potentially leaking sensitive or private data.

  • The driving force behind Surfly is our powerful interaction middleware. All requests and responses made during a Surfly Session pass through our proxy, allowing us to modify website code in a way that enhances digital interaction between two or more parties. Thus, we act as a middleware platform: a transparent layer of technology that can be added to any application to facilitate and improve its digital interactions. You can read more about it on our Interaction Middleware page.

The quick answer: Surfly’s Co-browsing offers a higher quality experience that’s faster and more secure than screen sharing because we employ an advanced proxy technology. It shares website code with all participants in a synced way, as opposed to screen sharing tools that force you to stream the entire contents of your screen (code is way smaller than pixels!).

Think of Surfly’s powerful interaction middleware as the fastest way to travel on the web! If you want a full explanation, check out our Surfly Co-browsing vs. Screen Sharing page.

Yes. Because Surfly is interaction middleware powered by our advanced proxy, it can be easily added to your current technology without having to change the code within your current applications.

Great additional service to our company!

It is so easy! No one has to download anything for us to connect and the steps needing to make the connection is simple. It has great features that make it easy to show multiple websites and even be able to show documents loaded in my computer. To be able to swap control of the cursor back and forth is also great, so the end user can feel a part of their own enrollment.
