What do you like best about FreshChat?

Freshchat enables me to instantly connect with my customers, quickly and easily, like I was the sales person in a store. I can see what the customer is looking at on my website and respond instantly. The customer seems to gain more trust by this instant connection and I have found I can turn most connections into sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

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

Freshchat solves the problem of the 'half-decided' customer, the customer that cannot be bothered to actually write to you or phone you directly. The initial prompt enables them to make a comment or ask a question without them feeling you are being intrusive. I have found that many conversations with my customers are quite long and the customer proceeds to make a purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The shortcuts that allow me to send full messages without typing them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

If I switch off of it and go to another tab, it doesn't let me know if a user has responded. I'll come back and see that the person has been waiting on me, Also, I'd like for the other tickets to close once they've left the chat. Sometime's it may look like there are 20 chats open when in reality, there are none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Customer support. Same thing we did with the other system we used. Im just a user and not the admin, so a lot of these questions, I just do not know the answer to. sorry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Simplicity and constant introduction of new features. I also like the ability to forward a reply to a users email if that user has not viewed the reply in a specific time period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Lack of important modern features like bots. I also dislike the fact that they removed the ability to schedule a future notification targeted to some users. This was very helpful when reminding users to upgrade to the latest app. I also dislike that the only users it captures are those who contact us and not all the users who have downloaded my app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreshChat:

Retain some of the features that existed in hotline, like the ability to schedule future notifications. I also feel like you are developing for yourselves rather than asking customers what they need. I feel that 60% of the features on Freshchat are not applicable to my business yet I pay for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Customer communication and issue resolution. Our users are better able to communicate with us on problems they are having and we are quickly able to respond to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
