What do you like best about FreshChat?

So far, Freshchat has been easy to install, and their customer service, though slow at times, has been informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Sometimes things are unclear in terms of the initial setup, which was a bit frustrating, but once I got in touch with their customer support, they were able to point me in the right direction for several articles that explained what I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Freshchat is worth it for the less expensive price (depending on which plan you get - we have Garden), but there are some limitations that come with the lower level plans, just to be prepared for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshchat has already allowed us some leads directly from our website and allows us to answer questions as quickly as possible, vs. email. It's proving worth it just in the couple of weeks we've had it installed, giving us leads on a few products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

My favorite thing about freshconnect is the doors it opens to collaboration and connection! Freshconnect provides fantastic ways to manage and track: time, invoices, and expenses paid. It allows everything in the office environment to feel unified between different departments. It is a pretty loaded software, so it takes time to grasp and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

There really isn't a lot to dislike when it comes to freshconnect! It really is time saving and functions fantastic. Of course, it is at a higher price point than most of it's competitors, but it is worth every penny! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Take the time to learn the software in all of it's vastness! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I find myself always getting stuck in non-useful meetings, Freshconnect made it possible to get out of these time consuming meetings! Project development has become quicker and easier, and enables everyone to contribute ideas and strategies in a productive manner. Any form of better organized internal communication is always the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

What I like about the program is its focus on helping sales teams talk to potential customers by offering a messaging experience with a variety of features making it a solid option to consider. Among the features that this has the ability to create campaigns, intelligent message routing, creation of bots that allow offer a much faster and automated service to all your customers without the need to have a specialized person to respond to each incoming request. It has an incredible way to organize conversations with your clients by sipping them by topic, agent, among other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Honestly, there are not many bad things to say about this software, as all the features are really solid and practical delivering everything you need in one place. There are few things to point out, although you have personal online training as well as a good documentation, it does not have a forum to help you answer frequent doubts that customers have had in the past, the integrations for iOS and Android mobile devices work smoothly, something very disappointing at a certain point since its versions on Windows and Mac work great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Freschat offers a graphical interface very easy to use in addition to being interactive making it possible for anyone to use it without any technical knowledge in programming or other technological field. Its free version is very good, it allows you to work with the basic tools without any problem and I recommend it to take the first steps with the software. Its integration with zendesk products makes them impeccable but it is not the only application that it supports, there are also others like Slack and Facebook Messenger which I recommend to try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main help that this tool has offered to the company in which I work is that it teach us to communicate with our customers, opening different communication channels that allows us to reach customers in real time and in a much more effective way offering features such as integrations with freshwork applications, live chat, bot for 24/7 attention, thus increasing our productivity as a company without ever lowering our efficiency while giving a quality service to each of the customers.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

The simplicity behind setting up the Chat service and the power behind integration with Freshdesk. Looking forward to the integration with Whatsapp and the benefit of IntelliAssign, routing, reporting and the measurement of CSAT in our customer experience team. The SDK's for Android and IOS make the deployment into an app chat seamless and gives our development team time to do more tasks related to the business because the chat service has been take care of with Freshchat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

One of the main reasons for deploying Freshchat was to take advantage of the Whatsapp integration. Our hope is that the full suite of services available in Freshchat will be available for Whatsapp in the the future. Services like routing, IntelliAssign and a really important service for us, CSAT through the Whatsapp channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Very easy to quick to configure and setup. The power of the Android and IoS SDK's gives the development team a distinct advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount paid in US dollars. I believe that if the value were offered according to the currency of each country would be fairer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
