(Original )Information
What do you like best about FreshChat?

We wanted to add another communication platform to our business, besides phone support and email support and we stumbled upon Freshchat. We already noticed this before as we are a current user of Freshdesk. We requested a demo and they quickly showed us how Freshchat works. We had a lot of questions, but they were able to answer all. The tool is user-friendly too. Great design too - it is simple, clean and can easily be seen by customers.

With of without a Freshdesk account, you can definitely use Freshchat on its own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I can't think of anything as of the the moment. We like what we have seen during the demo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Nice design and lovely support staff. Great platform for talking to your customers. Highly recommended. Read different reviews online and Freshchat was one of the chat platforms that stood out the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Great for customer experience, especially if they wanted to talk to someone asap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

I like that so much is customizable, from the coloring of your widget to the structuring around store hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

A lot of this application is hit or miss. The product is one of the cheapest on the market, and I've realized why - the customer service is not helpful, and some of the settings do not "stick" initially. I had to hop on customer service chat three times for one issue with my store hours, but they didn't respond in the allotted five (or eight? either way) minutes - it ended up being an average of thirty. Ironically, for a chat company, their own chat is not preferable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Do your research and try not to be stingy about what you spend on chat bots - from what I've seen, this is one of the cheapest for a reason. You might have to invest a little more for a streamlined chat experience for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Once all the kinks (read: several hours waiting on customer service) get worked out, the app does what it's supposed to. It gets customer (or potential customer) messages to us in real time, is able to generate some leads, and can handle inquiries in a way that helps us out during the day and brings us into the 21st century.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

It is stable and easy to use chat software that works best as Freshdesk integration. It allows us to keep our support conversational and convenient for our customers without losing the advantages of the ticketing system necessary for SaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Connection by API with Freshdesk - I can't assign automatically tickets created via chat to the agent who had the conversation - any automatization will result in assigning chat tickets to the Freshdesk account owner.

Lack of proper, full integration with Hubspot - there is no possibility to send a conversation to Hubspot as well, so my marketing & sales & services team are disconnected from our conversation with customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stability of our support in the opposition to previously used Live chats & Service Hub in Hubspot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

As a owner/software developer I just love how easy it is to set freschat up on any platform. Within just a few minutes and a couple of copied code you can deliver an amazing support experience por users on your apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Sometimes I found a bit unstable adding some customized properties on user sessions, some times it works and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe it's something on my code I have to check that out with more time to spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

If you guys need any support tool and want to go fast and with low budget, I would really recommend Freshchat, just easy to use and setup, and I've never had any problems with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With freshchat, users that are logged in our platform can solve their issues while working inside our app and our customer service respond to them almost in real time. So I guess it's just good for everyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Freshchat is feature-rich and I can't think of a scenario that can't be accomplished. As I use Freshdesk as a help desk system I like the integration of both systems. Furthermore, I like the web console which is easy to use and comes in a fresh design. Last but not least the support is great and very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I've compared a few chat systems and Freshchat suits my needs best for an affordable price. I don't really have things I don't like with Freshchat. The one thing I can complain about is that real multi-language support is only available with the highest subscription. This is not really helpful for one-man startups like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Freshchat to get in touch with visitors on my website and help them choose the right subscription for my services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to set up the chatbot, and supports are always there to help. It also integrate with our freshsales, which is the sales side of CRM making it very easy to follow up with our leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

The away message still needs some work, it is not allowing me to turn the chatbot on while providing the away message form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

This is a perfect software for anyone that wants to start conversational marketing or just simply want to provide great support to your customers through your own websites or app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mainly with our customer support, we needed a chatbot to serve not only new customers but returning customers, and allow them to easily contact us through our app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Nothing as of now. FreshChat fullfils all the business demands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to support our customers 24/7 because of Freshchat. Everytime someone writes a question, we get notifications to Slack. From Slack we can easily reply or open up their mobile/web application and reply from it. We can assign people in the team to handle the support requests. The process works like a charm.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

We have placed the chat button only within our client portals which then gives our clients an immeadiate tool to find solutions,communicate with the help team and receive specific campaigns. Chat is now almost 45% of our client contact and quickly taking over email/phone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of simple questions from clients that could be easily answered if the chatbot was a little smarter and could be trained constantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Recommend for software suppliers to have direct communication with clients with the inhouse campaigns, triggers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

I used multiple chats but only freshdesk created many engagement. It has plenty of features in free plan itself. Trigger feature in freshchat helps to target users based on the behaviors and run campaigns based on that. This helps us to unwrap lot of things user was confused and why we are loosing in funnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

More options to customize the chat icons. This will be helpful for branding. Direct ticket handling for support raised from freshchat will be helpful instead of freshdesk integration. Bot option helps me a lot as customer can get his questions answered events if agents are not active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

I would recommend you to use this without considering any other alternative. It will match beyond your expectations with more features helps in increasing the revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I had problem with my customers not signing up who landed from google organic search. After freshchat installation I launched a trigger campaign to know why customer not moving further in conversion. With freshchat after conversation with many customer, we learnt how we can improve the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
