What do you dislike about FreshChat?

inability to stop chats from changing place while chatting. The only setting is for the longest wait time. I would like to freeze the chats entirely so they do not move switch places. When implimenting or changing rules for chat on the back end, the systems slows WAYYYY down and is almost unusuable for at least 30-60 mins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

The ease of using Freshchat is superb. There's no comparison to the user friendly interface! Ias someone who has worked in live chat for several years, Freshchat is one of the platforms that I give a mostly positive score to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

My only complaint about Freshchat is that the notifications are spotty, at best. I won't always receive a ding when a new message comes in, which is a pain when I'm working on several projects at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are providing fast, efficient customer support to our wide variety of clients. It's helping resolve issues faster and taking some of the weight off of our email support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

One of the standout features of Freshchat is its omnichannel support, allowing businesses to engage with their customers across various channels such as website chat and its ease of integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

While Freshchat provides reporting and analytics features, they are quite limited. It would be great to have more in depth reporting. For e.g comprehensive reporting on Whatsapp Proactive Messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Freshchat consolidates communication channels into a single platform, hence handling customer inquiries from various sources becomes easier and enables efficient customer interactions.

2. It also incorporates automation capabilities, like chatbots. By leveraging chatbots, we can automate responses to common queries, reducing response times and providing instant support. This automation streamlines the support process, allowing agents to focus on more complex customer queries, ultimately improving efficiency and productivity.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Things I like about Freshchat:

Not too many columns and features to memorize to be able to use it.

Integration to Freshdesk to create additional tickets.

Customers cannot see when the agents are typing

Separations between my canned answers and company canned answers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

The notification system is not as smooth as I want, especially if I'm not on the page/tab.

There are no options for agents to edit, recall or delete a sent message, even if we've made a mistake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our customer success team needed a platform for our customers to live chat with a CS agent.

Since we already use Freshdesk.com for our customer ticketing system, Freshchat works well for us since we can escalate issues or follow up afterwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
