What do you like best about FreshChat?

It is good, fast, and smooth which meets the criteria of giving the solutions to issues of the customers via different channels connected within the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Freshchat doesn't have an auto-solving mechanism like when we are handling particular customers at that time executives are busy solving the queries of the existing customers on live chat. Still, those customers who are in the queue should not be unheard of for there issues so the fresh chat should slowly start solving the customer's issue at least in the initial stage so the customer will feel engaged. It will hold retain the customers in the particular business rather than giving bad reviews of products and customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshchat is a medium for communicating with customers.I use it to solve the queries of the Doctors and Business Development Executives via chats and it is helpful as it is smooth, fast, and reliable for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

The tool is easy to configure and the application proved to be very simple to use.

Freshdesk proved to be very robust in several ticket creation situations, chat interactions and automations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

There are many versions of the tool for each type of product and it is difficult to know which version of the product we are and what we are missing in other versions.

We miss easier integration and customization between Freshdesk and Freshsales. Some limitations did not create separate applications

The little flexibility of the number of fields in custom modules also made us pivot some solutions already implemented in Freshsales due to the growth of some business rules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The company I work for didn't have a customer service area set up for scaling and that's why freshworks served us well. It also resolved our customer management for the commercial team, who can now see our customer base in the palm of their hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

As a frequent user of Freshchat, I have experienced its fabulous ease of use and versatile customer support capabilities. Its become an essential tool for me in providing exceptional customer experiences. Implementation of the freshchat seems easy-peasy

Describing some of its features like Multi channel engagement, AI-powered chatbots, journey builder, customer contex, robust analytics, chat widget customisation etc...

These features makes it first choice of any business.

As of now I am using it quite frequently as it helps me to connect me fast with my clients. So KUDOS for that 😃 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Freshchat provides a comprehensive customer engagement solution, but there are noteworthy considerations to bear in mind. Certain pricing plans may pose financial challenges for some users. While the platform offers advanced features, there may be a learning curve for their full utilization. Integrating Freshchat with existing systems could be complex for some businesses. Over-reliance on chatbots could potentially affect the personal touch of customer interactions. Effective management of multi-channel interactions may require dedicated resources. These aspects should be factored into business assessments of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As an international business, catering to clients in different time zones can be challenging. With Freshchat's auto-answer feature, I no longer worry about missing inquiries when I am away. Its like having a reliable virtual assistant that ensures our clients receive timely responses, enhancing our customer service and global presence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
