What do you like best about Channel Talk?

The interface is user-friendly and super easy to navigate, especially managing customer interactions from various channels all in one place. The real-time messaging feature ensures quick responses and I love that I can customize the chat widget to match my brand's look and feel. Channel.io is definitely a game-changer for my customer chat needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

"While Channel.io is generally a great customer chat tool, there are a few areas that I feel could be improved. These include more advanced reporting and analytics features and additional customization options for the chat widget. However, the team behind Channel.io actively listens to user feedback and continues to enhance the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Channel Talk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to chat to customers from many different social platforms that was previously v. confusing for our team to keep track of who that end customer was, Channel makes it much easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Channel Talk?

I often get requests for collaboration or media coverage through my website and I missed some of them sometimes because my email inbox is filled with promotions and spams.

Now I'm not missing any important requests and inquiries anymore, thanks to channel.io. It's been great and helped me build relationship with my fans and collaborators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

I'm not tech savvy so maybe video tutorial would have been helpful to set it up faster. The written guide used to be a bit difficult to navigate through but I think they changed the format recently and now it's a lot simpler and easy to find articles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Channel Talk solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped me organize, categorize all inquiries I get and connect with my fans and collaborators.

Channel.io allows me to check what information and photos my visitors looked at on my website before chatting with me I get to find out more about them before I talk, which is a great way to start a conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Channel Talk?

Channel.io offers FREE chat widget with super easy integration. Within 1 minute, I could have website visitors open a cute chat window and start engaging with us. With their account and onboarding manager Chris's help, I realized that it is MORE THAN a chat widget. It is like conversation-as-a-service!! It supports free chat, support bot and content-driven chat. All conversations are tied to a customizable CRM. At any time, all operators can easily see who this customer is and what is the chat history. It is a really efficient tool for implementing strategies to implement & test different conversation rules. The tool is easy to use, and I got a lot of support from Account Manager Chris to learn and try conversation rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

After the free tier, the next tier is a little steep for startups or service-based agencies. If this can be a more friendly price, I believe they can also expand quickly to many service-based businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Channel Talk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visitors can directly chat with us on our website.

It auto-collects all data points (chats, customers, histories) in one place.

It helps us to implement conversation strategies like support bot, marketing campaign, and one-time messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Channel Talk?

We've been using Channel.io from day 1, and we've never considered any alternatives because it's been so great. It is a powerful tool to not only communicate with our users, but also to build a relationship with them. We implemented it during the beta period of our product. The fact that Channel.io keeps track of previous conversations and user profiles really helped our small team to add personal touches to our customer service. That tiny detail creates a huge difference in customer experience.

Being able to leave internal notes within the conversation is also tremendously useful. When I don't quite know how to answer a question, my team members can pop into into the conversation and leave internal notes that's only visible to me. It saves so much time because I don't have to constantly switch from window to window. On the other hand, the customer isn't getting overwhelmed by messages from 2-3 different people.

The pricing is also quite flexible. We had a few months where our MAU was fluctuating around the threshold. But it was so easy to switch between plans, and whatever extra we paid would automatically be deducted from next month's bill. It was one less thing to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

The automated support bot takes time to set up. That's not to say the feature itself is complicated or hard to figure out. And it has the potential to funciton as an effective help center. But adding a lot of depth and branches does require a lot of input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Channel Talk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to communicate directly, instantly and personally were the reasons for implementing Channel.io

But it's added more value to our team than we expected.

Being a small startup, we don't have a lot of time to onboard new team members.

And Channel.io has been such a lifesaver because it's so easy to navigate our customer chat history.

It's a great repository of our user profile, data and feedback&requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Channel Talk?

I use Channel.io on a daily basis, bot has an internal team chat, but also to handle customer inquiries. I use it on my computer, have it on my phone, and it works exactly as advertised. Having used slack and other live chat services, not only does channel.io accomplish the same tasks - but looks and feels modern yet lightweight.

I use the teamchat features the most, I really like the ability to save messages, see the mentions and reactions that I've received, and that the app/platform is constantly getting upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

Some minor hiccups here and there - but nothing really dealbreaking.

Would like the ability to send gifs, set custom reactions, and to add reminders (things I liked about slack). Hopefully will be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Channel Talk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to handle customer inquiries in the same space as where I have my internal team chat means that I never miss either one. Also, because they're connected I can get assistance or help from teammates when handling customer inquiries - which also provides a seamless and better customer experience for our customers.

Being able to provide better service by knowing the customer, recognizing them, and getting to them quickly has helped us keep customers longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Channel Talk?

Channel.io made communication simple and streamlined. I needed a way to handle customer inquiries while I was away, while also being able to focus my time on important customers and questions. Channel.io helped me do this without feeling overly burdened. I used this in the previous company and it was amazing. I wish my new company also used this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

Even though it's easy to use, when you want to set up additional features it can feel a bit overwhelming. However, the Channel.io team helped me get started and answered any questions I had along the way. The team really jumps in to help you out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Channel Talk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Once I was set up, the chatbots really helped reduce the number of inquiries I had to handle. Customers could find answers to simple questions on their own. For the important questions coming in, I could focus my attention on them. This helped improve the experience for customers and simplified work for the team.

What do you like best about Channel Talk?

I like how everything is bundled up together in terms of CRM, marketing campaigns, team chat, and live chat.

The support bot feature adds an extra layer of expereince when it comes to answering my customers FAQ's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channel Talk?

The pricing the model is a bit tricky for our team at first but we were able to compensate given the non-restrictions on seat count. We were able to add the whole team in the Channel to contribute to the discussions with our customers and its worked out really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For us, the main goal is segment our customer base and the CRM + automations allows us to increase efficiencies within the 'grouping' progress and gives us more visibility when we are planning for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
