What do you like best about FreshChat?

As it's a Freshworks product, the integration with Freshdesk is one of the best. It shows the tickets already raised by the customer before to give a complete view.

The people tab is one of the good features if you want to establish conversations with users using the product live.

Setting up of custom properties is very easy and showing it in context while in a chat with customers is a very good value add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Campaign setup might become confusing sometimes especially while linking with bots.

Though the bot features are started recently, there is so much to catch up on compared to competitors.

Searching for a conversation needs a lot of improvement. There is no option to filter by time and search. Also, the results that appear on the search bar don't have the time attached to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We rely on Freshchat for our customer support. It helps us respond to customers quickly and resolve them.

The ability to quickly solve customer questions or problems is the key benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

It's simple UI and workflows make it very easy to use as an agent. We use it mostly for customer support and website chats and I can easily switch between conversations, have contextual information about the client and leave internal notes where necessary.

As a customer, the different tabs between FAQs and messages are easy to navigate. The provision of FAQs make it easier to get answers before having to engage an agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Messaging vs. session based chat is still a discussion. Customers sometime have doubts over agent availability (despite the 'typically replies in' function). Works most of the time but there can be many places where it could look bad if the agent is unavailable.

However, the biggest issue is that notifications sometime go missing and there are a lot of missed chats because of this. Chat routing and assignment can get a little messed up at times. I have had chats been assigned to me wrongly/out of turn. The bots functionality is also primitive and needs a lot of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

It is a better option compared to Intercom, drift, etc. in terms of pricing. And the Freshworks ecosystem makes most customer support tools you need available so it is a better option compared to stand alone chatbot and messaging tools like livechat, talk.to, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Have Freshchat installed on our website and in-app. We use it mostly to answer support queries and also answer enquiries that come in from our website.

There is a reduction in the number of support related emails that we get with Freshchat installed.

It is also easier for prospects to engage with us initially and get their answers solved. Builds trust before they sign-up for a trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Freshdesk has been incredibly simple to implement within our daily practices. The interface is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. Most of the features are very intuitive and do not take long to learn. Freshwork's Customer Support team is also wildly quick to respond! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Some features and apps such as emailing a chat transcript to a customer are only available in the highest tiers of service. It would be great to have a version of these apps for the lower-tiered levels as well since the majority of customers want a copy of their conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We previously used a different helpdesk software. It was not intuitive and was incredibly difficult to integrate with the tasks we needed it for. Freshdesk has allowed us to completely revamp that system, work more efficiently, and respond to our customers quickly while allowing more self-help options.
