"Count on the best software when it comes to comunicate with your customers"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It's so useful for me as an agent cause I can solve the issues that face my customers and make it easier and more beneficial for them to be satisfied with the service I provide.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Sometimes in rush hours, as I have to solve all kinds of cases, I deal with so many chats at the same time, and it gets stacked on the queue, which appears to the customer that we are intentionally avoiding them, but it's not a big deal as we handle them.

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

All kinds of problems, I really mean it cause customer can contact with us so quickly and that exposing the main issues that face our clients which help us improve our way of service.

"Best Chat support out there"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The chat is amazingly simple to integrate with your application. I also loved the customization feature to match users' branding guidelines. Also features like bot, campaign, topics, faqs, etc are too good.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The only downside I notice is that there are no tutorials available for most of the features. I had to contact support for Demo which took quite a long. I suggest a separate tutorial on every feature like bots, campaign, setup, etc.

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

We use Freshdesk message to give support ability to our platform via chat. We also use it to inform our visitors about new deals, features,etc via campaign feature

we use Freshdesk Messaging for answering queries for those customers who've sent us via email, and also for outgoing emails in case we need to contact our customers for those issues raised via our Business What'sapp

"Best chat support"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The best thing that I like about Freshchat is real-time analytics. As a team manager, it allows to keep a real-time view of what the agents are doing and the SLAs

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

You do not get comprehensive reports and analytics which can be used to improve your service offering and optimise the operations and customer experience. It only gives broad level numbers

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

It helps in solving the customer support experience. You get features like chat-bot and automation. It also has features like auto-assigned and AI-based bot to help you manage your team

"why i love Freshdesk Messaging"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

I love it because it's easy to use and fast plus shows you everything that happens in chat like if Conversation was assigned to an agent or group plus the private note is very useful if you want to save something important in the chat like a pic order a date about the customer, private note is only visible to agents customer connect see it also that chat is counting with seconds if u didn't give it first respond thats is good if u have target also the reporting is so powerful and helpful as it shows u the number of agents and assigned chat and the aht and first respond for everyone also Canned Responses is great saves alot of time and u can also add your own plugs on smart plug it's just great i love it

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

well sometimes it the chat time count is wrong or have delay and also not counting in seconds if u give a response from ur side , also that if u don't have chats assigned to u after a while u will be automatically inactive and any chat will be assigned to u will count as away

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

the private note is excellent makes it easy to tell an agent something without being visible to customer Canned Responses makes it faster and easy to handle the chat the reports is so useful to understand what is the most common issue ur business have the Custom View is great u can see any agent chats

"Excellent and simple solution"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat works simple and great. It allows us to manage our customer relationships easily and efficiently.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I'm happy with Freshchat. Price is competitive vs. other options, and functionality, though it probably is not so complete, is good enough for most companies.

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

Freshchat allows us to attend to customers at the right moment. Mobile and email notifications work very well, and the app is fantastic.

"Integration is very helpful!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Integration between FreshDesk and FreshChat has been very helpful for our team! It has been easy to learn, and it's been a fun experience for us to use as well.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

How automatic the responses are. I've found when going between multiple chats, I'll send a reply to one that i meant to send to someone else. Having a 1-2 second period where you can "Undo" like in FreshDesk would be SOOOOOO helpful!!

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

Just how quickly we can communicate with our clients instead of going back and forth through email.

I Can`t really recall something that i didn`t like through my 3 years of experience with them. except for the frequent changes in the designated account manager. this might be due to the fast expansion which is good not bad.

"Better workflow with a continuous messaging system"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

I love having found a tool as fabulous as Freshchat, which with excellent CRM tools, as well as continuous messaging that allows us to capture exactly the potential clients to be much more precise in the people who will really stay. Bots are really the right tool to perform various functions in a much more automated way, it allow I to qualify potential customers, take question tickets and in this way distribute all the work equitably among the sales consultants. It helps us in our organizational capacities through time lines and it even has other much more powerful tools for searching data and collecting information.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Another of its strengths is to be able to enhance remote work, in this current situation it is essential and a plus for my work. Collaboration tools make work management much more comfortable, since it is much easier to manage the workload and distribute it among each work colleague.

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

Without a doubt, Freshchat is the software that represents exactly what we do, it provides us with the right and adequate tools to manage my CRM system, to maintain greater control over potential and fixed customers, in addition to being able to assist them, attend to their requests and concerns as well, how to cover various campaign shipments to enhance sales campaigning capabilities. It is possible to cover much more work since its functions allow us to go beyond automation and bots that help us to be more agile in what we do.
