What do you dislike about FreshChat?

We have a problem but I do not know if it is our fault or we have not been able to configure or if it is a problem of Freshlook but sometimes when clients respond to our agents they do not get the notifications that a certain client wrote so it is difficult to answer instantly if you are distracted or engaged in some other task Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use freshchat on our website to communicate with all our clients and we are also using it in our technical support team since it is very easy to connect with the client and resolve their concerns by that method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

It's possible that there are some failures in the follow-up of the information, sometimes it does not collect all the necessary data, which makes the preparation of reports much more cumbersome. It is necessary to take into account that you must have sufficient technical knowledge to know how to use the tools, otherwise you will not even be able to make it work. I also find some disagreements with the user interface of the mobile application, it is impractical and can even be a little slow and tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Freshchat is undoubtedly an exceptional tool, where it is possible to connect to a messaging and communication network for the exchange of commercial projects, and the organization of work tasks. It is a direct and fluid path where perfection is achieved in what we do, thanks to its affordable cost all our clients, partners and colleagues can join our network without any complications, making all our work much easier. With this, create a perfect link in my company where there is a merchant-customer connection to manage questions and answers, thus solving customer support problems like we never imagined.

The messaging system brings with it interactive options, such as gifs or images, that allow a clearer image and message to be transmitted. Integrating Freshchat with different API's makes the system much more fluid and collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I like how fluid it is, efficient messaging, and its effective tools. However, I don't agree with the configuration and customization system, I feel that there is still a lack of capabilities to adapt the system to our fair requeriments, we have had to adapt our work to the software and not vice versa, which has changed many of the work strategies that we had established, although it is not something completely bad, but we eould like to be able to configure everything as we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Communication is essential for the progress of projects and satisfaction of our clients with the quality of the services we offer them. Take this opportunity and use Freshchat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshchat's tools have been essential for our day to day, communication is essential for a project to be fluid and interactive, where each part is active and collaborative, including participation of clients, partners and colleagues. We are now much bolder in the immediate response to conflicts or inconveniences, through communication we transmit our inconveniences to guide them in the search for a better effective solution, which solves and remedies, always seeking work and professional success, thus perfecting the service that we offer to all our clients. With the messaging system we can be in charge of the progress of each of our projects, scheduling commercial tasks and helping to amplify the advances that are made separately, to unify them as one.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

FreshChat is one of the best communication platforms by FreshWorks that works for thousands of websites as a bridge of communications between companies and their customers through chat. FreshChat is an advanced, fastest and userfriendly chat platform that makes a top choice for any company. The best thing that I like is the advanced reporting system, integration ability, and Bot response customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Well, there are some technical issues we are facing while using the applications and what we have found is it requires a fast internet network to avoid delays in bot responses. We have noted that chats are getting delays while bot conversations and defining the groups. Also, Bot responses require to make more updates for better responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Only inside our customer portals have we put the chat button which then provides our users an immeadiate resource to identify ideas, connect with the support team and get relevant promotions. Chat currently accounts for nearly 45 per cent of our consumer interaction and takes up email / phone easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I think there had been an easy way to browse at the old conversations / data, as the search settings are a little awkward right now. There are occasions where the software even appears to be laggy, but besides that, it is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Do your homework and seek to never be pushy on what you are investing on chat bots-for a price, it's one of the lowest out of everything I've seen. You may need to spend a little more in your business for a smooth talk experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use talk as a service to technical users. Stability is the chief advantage. It is critical that we still get push reminders about incoming messages. We can miss messages if they're not, and that is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

It is a powerful tool, which provides excellent communication and business link capabilities, through good chat capabilities where it is easy to exchange opinions, solve question and answer, project progress is much easier if we can share files, gif or images. It adapts completely to my work system, which adds a point in favor since by integrating Freshchat with my website, I have the possibility that both clients and work colleagues can interact with us, creating a perfect link, that saves us workload, we avoid duplicating the work, all messages and uestions are sent directly through a Freshchat chat window, we can also see the user's profile and know all their registration information. Integration is the best thing that can happen to us, the API allows us to perform multiple functions that bring us closer together and allows us to interact more easily with users. On the other hand, the registration of tickets is the best function you can have, in this way it is organized and it is possible to perform a quality support, serving each of the users without leaving anyone out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

From the beginning it was difficult to adapt to so many configurations to be sure that the integration between software and so many tools together will work according to my work system, however, customer support helped me in each configuration in which I had some kind of problem, they made the process much easier.
