What do you like best about FreshChat?

The integrated suite of Freshchat under the Freshworks ecosystem makes things super simple for businesses to manage customer queries. It helps in providing a great customer experience. I also like the option of integrating Facebook, Whatsapp messages directly to Freshchat so that our agents don't have to look at multiple platforms to reply to the queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

The bots are very expensive - Ideally, they should provide an options-based conversation for free, considering the different platforms available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Freshchat for customer support. Live chats help provide instant resolution to most queries, whereas we use it with Freshdesk integration to help create tickets for the support request needing more intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

WhatsApp Integration was an important milestone for our support routines development, and we manage conversations easily, so our new members can help users quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

FAQ management needs to be improved.

The integration with Freshdesk FAQ is not so friendly, and it's tough to measure which articles are more popular and which ones are not.

The integration with Freshbots should be easier to set, mainly about API library tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Freshdesk Messaging is really a helpful feature and their support team is really helpful.

It can be a good first experience software on area and you will be able to set WhatsApp integration easily with their team help.

The only important point is about variable costs, as they charge by user and about WhatsApp integration, there is a charge according by the conversations volume as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It optimizes our daily support routine and also, some chatbots help us a lot.

We also use triggered messages to announce new features and provide some useful info to our users.

The main benefit is that it allows us to keep all issues on track and it improves our support quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

The Freshdesk Messaging is very easy to learn and use, the design is very simple yet it is also complex. The tools that we're using are both Freshdesk and Freshchat. Working in this industry I've had many experiences using the different messaging systems and Freshchat is my most liked so far. There's no training needed to use this software, it's pretty much straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I guess the least likable in Freshdesk is the reporting statistics. It could've been better if there are other data available like Statistics for the whole team and not just for individual agents. Also, it's better if the system does not automatically count the chats that were "resolved/create a ticket" without us sending a message as resolved chat for each individual agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had some problems before regarding the automatic assigning the chat to a specific agent but it was easily resolved by one of the support in Freshchat. She scheduled a zoom call just to assist any of our inquiries which is great. This is the first time I've experienced support that was sincerely wanting to help.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Embedding the FAQs into the welcome page reduces inquiry volume. Canned responses provide better first and average response time. You can see which page of your website does customer on while he or she messages you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Freddy artificial intelligence bot is very difficult to understand. Before it, the regular bot was too easy to build and use. However, Freddy requires more coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

If you want to use this product to launch your chat campaign it is very easy to use. However, the artificially intelligent bot has some difficulties like transferring the conversation to the agents, creating a ticket, etc. Moreover, if you decide to use the bot you cannot embed your FAQs into the welcome page. Therefore, you should add all information into the chat bot or put the links in the prepared conversations. I think that way may be difficult for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Some customers do not want to wait for an email and some do not want to call and talk to the representatives. The live chat is an interim solution to help customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

I like Freshdesk for ticketing, it really gives all the information you need and very straightforward for Canned responses as well as Freshchat very easy to reply with the customer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

The only thing that I dislike is their priority type because it is not consistently following the SLA we set for ticket prioritization as well as the data report, it does not provide us the accurate info Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Freshdesk Messaging is the best ticketing and livechat tool for companies that receive multiple emails on a daily basis because first it has the SLA policy that measures the productivity of your people who are in charge of answering tickets, proper distribution of tickets, and chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
