What do you like best about Chatwoot?

Chatwoot is a wonderful tool for customer engagement. It is very easy to use and very responsive. It provides a really good platform to manage all the customer support problems in one place. I used the tool very often for my work. It holds the customer data and provides valuable insights and the tool is very easy to implement which makes it even more worthy. The customer support team is also very good and they respond to queries fast. The overall integration of the tool with day to day usage helps the organisation to grow fast.

What do you dislike about Chatwoot?

Though it is a very good tool, the only thing which could be improved a bit is the UI so that people who are new could adapt and adjust to the platform more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Chatwoot is solving many problems at once, problems like cost as it as open source platform it is very cost effective. Secondly the privacy concerns are over as the businesses can self host the platform. Also the platform has many customization options which provides better flexibility.

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

At the beginning we used Intercom, but as we grew we needed more seats and the costs had become very high. Among all the alternatives we analyzed, Chatwoot was the one with the most features at a lower cost. In addition to the price, the number of functions is greater.

While Chatwoot is feature-rich, there are some areas for improvement. The platform could benefit from more advanced AI-powered automation. Additionally, the reporting features, though useful, could be more customizable to better fit specific business needs. Sometimes there is a slight delay in syncing Whatsapp conversations which impacts the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chatwoot?

At first Chatwoot seemed like the best solution on the market (after thorough market research) and the 2nd solution is Intercom.

The pricing is superior and there are no nonsense hidden fees.

I also liked the open-source model since our use case requires high customization, and overall, the features is a good match for us and get the job done without too much complicated unnecessary features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatwoot?

It doesn't seem production ready. We stumbled upon bugs and it feels like the Chatwoot execution is just not as reliable enough for us, we are in the business of providing critical services and we can't allow for such "bugs". Overall, our confident of the Chatwoot execution is of a weak execution.

We still like the features and the open source model but for the meantime switch to another solution and keep an eye for the next 1 year to see if things change.

Some bugs we stumbled upon:

1) The Chatwoot portal disconnects. It means we have to keep opening it up every 15 minutes or so, so it stays connected. In the meantime, if we receive a message we won't be notified. The support says it is a known issue but to us, it seems that they are too much time in the market to allow for such a critical bug and it has been for more than 2 months already. We can't allow it.

2) The mobile phone logs off as well, similar to issue 1).

3) We receive duplicate notifications (instead of one notification we receive 2).

4) I really don't like the CEO answers low-level messages on the portal. Focus on the product instead, I think you should delegate.

5) Bugs when setting up the Chatwoot to integrate with Softr. The script to generate the "Expanded chat" doesn't generate the expanded chat. There is one window that generate the code correctly and another one that doesn't generate it correctly. If you are not aware of it, you will find it confusing why your chat is not in an "expanded" chat state.

Overall, the above just killed our confident to rely on Chatwoot as a critical service provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Combining support from multiple channels such as WhatsApp, Livechat and Emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
