What do you like best about FreshChat?

Freshchat provides a great way for me to communicate with my customers on my front-end marketing site, as well as directly in my web application.

Each user that has started at chat can be easily tracked to see the chat history and see how many times they've logged on, what pages they have visited which is helpful for managing communications and understanding basic account usage by that user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Needs an easy switch for turning off the chat in mobile (you have to edit the code). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

I briefly tried both intercom and Freshchat and I actually thought Freshchat was easier and more intuitive to setup than intercom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have a startup and didn't want to spend $50 per month + on intercom, so Freshchat has provided an affordable solution for me to provide chat support for my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest disadvantage of this software is that the function of balance sheet is not good. This software is very expensive as compared to its competitors. The another problem of this software is that the updating system of freshconnect is a little more difficult with the importing of expenses. But to conclude that it is the great software for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

It is very useful to have all the personnel and all the departments of a company connected since they can be easily updated.

The environment may seem a bit loaded, but it is impressive as you spend time handling it and feel that everything is well organized, we can already have the right information at all times, even beyond the internal network of a company and be able to respond to customer requests . It also makes the departments are not dispersed within a company interchangeably if they are not in the same building. You can organize and notify and create collaborative environments of the projects, and tasks in general within the company which makes this software a great help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Requesting a demo sometimes takes time. The initial installation requires certain technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Fresconnect we have found that you can simplify many processes and make a company's internal communication more fluid. Although it can be implemented in any business or small business, it is more recommended for those where the flow of information is very constant, numerous and dispersed, as it helps to organize and manage in the best way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
