"Gets the job done!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The way FAQs are presented is beautiful. The ability to have multiple chat channels is a plus. Their support is on point. Push Notifications work as expected. Analytics and autoresponders are useful.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Mobile App functionality for agents is limited. Formatting of response and FAQs goes wrong often (blank lines are trimmed). Would like to have a way to run campaigns for existing users. CSAT fails sometimes if an issue is reopened. Would appreciate if we could assign multiple labels to a conversation. It'd also be good if we could have a screen where user keys in their name/email id (optional/mandatory) before being able to start a conversation.

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

This serves as our end-user customer support platform. This is useful as customers using our product often have troubleshooting/sales queries. Our support team engages with the customers and helps make the product better, and solve their issues.

"Unique"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat is a software that has been very unique since the beginning. It uses a cute design that help you focus on what you're doing with an interface full of characteristics that can provide you a well use of the software. I like it's easy to communicate with your customers in a live chat, and you have a priority box where you can keep the collected data. The mobile app is just as pretty and helpful.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I like everything about this software except the pricing, it's a little expensive.

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

Freshchat provides us with the capability to support our customers wherever they are and in real time. We are able to respond to their questions fastly and easier.

"Impressive UI for excellent customer support"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The UI is very impressive, not only for the end-user but also for the agent panel.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Bot feature is not very capable yet (I think it is in their pipeline)

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

Prior to using Freshchat, we were using Intercom for our website chat. With Freshchat, we realised that adding FAQs was super-easy and it was also intuitive for the end user to navigate through the FAQs. The integration with the mobile apps was easy and we managed to integrate Freshchat across all platforms. Customers are loving the chat feature.

"Bringing Customer Service chat to the next level"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The fact that Freshchat is not a classic chat where you need to be online to attend to your customers. We work with a team of volunteers and even when there is no one available, the bot gathers the information and data from the customer and we can attend to the customer as soon as when there is someone available. This way we never lose interest from the customer.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

If we synch Freshchat with our Freshdesk the chats are moved into Freshdesk tickets. Unfortunately we cannot reply from within Freshdesk. When we are not online and when a Freshdesk ticket is created it would be a great possibility to continue the conversation within Freshdesk to follow up and provide our customers with the requested quotation for example. If the chat gets to a quotation we now manually need to create a lead in Freshdesk.

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

We mainly answer the "quick questions" but from time to time customers also request a quotation after having a chat with one of our agents.
