What do you like best about Gladly?

The functionality is great for our small team, the AI functions are always evolving in productive ways. The Liveboards, Routing, People Match, and Rules functions save to much time and are easy to implement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

There is some differences in reporting when transitioning to this tool from other ticket based tools. I love the way Conversations are prioritized vs each ticket like other tools, but comparing between the too for historical comparisons can be tricky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gladly unifies communication channels, provides personalized support through AI-driven insights, and streamlines support workflows. This enables faster, more efficient customer interactions with reduced operational costs. The platform consolidates customer conversations, automates routine tasks, and ensures our team has comprehensive interaction histories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

The most helpful about gladly is the fact that you can go back to previous interactions you've had and also set a task to follow up with customers in case you need too and they stay on the left side with easy access too. Now with the new updates, you get a timer for when you will be receiving a new phone call, helps you be prepared in time. It is also really easy to use now and you are also able to check out how your coworkers are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

The only thing I don't like about Gladly are the notifications sounds we get. if you could update it to a bit more friendly sounds it would be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gladly solves the problem of getting in touch with people way easier and has multiple option to share files and pictures too which is really handy and not every system has that for multiple platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

You can manage chat, phone and email without switching screens. You can leave detailed notes regarding the conversations, and the best part is the tasks that can be assigned depending on their importance.

As an admin, the amount of data that you can get it is astounding! It is difficult to understand it, but once you've learned on how to pull the information, the details to each interaction is insurmountable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

The fact that you can get both a chat and a call if the cx contacts you through those two it's not good. The timelines are too long and the font can be too small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're able to use one platform to help our customers through 3 different channels. That saves us time. Makes everything easier.

we've been able to implement AI support that helps us manage the emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

The customer service platform offered by Gladly delivers exceptional capabilities to handle customer interactions. Through the Gladly contact profile feature our support operations become more efficient because we can see all customer communication records in one place. Gladly connects email and phone and social media support channels through its omnichannel system to maintain continuous communication between our team members. The system achieves its objectives through maintaining contented customer relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

Gladly operates effectively as a customer service management platform although it requires improvement in particular areas. The platform's application occasionally shows technical problems that lead to brief system delays. The platform could become more operational efficient by introducing additional third-party interface options for workflow optimization. The workflow suffers from performance problems because users need to frequently switch between multiple programs to finish their tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our customer support operations benefit from Gladly because the platform creates a single accessible profile system that combines all customer communication records. Our organization experienced challenges managing different channels and maintaining different customer history records until we adopted Gladly. Using Gladly we provide quick personalized service which results in superior customer satisfaction. The reduction of interaction management efforts allows our company to focus on crucial business responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love that it does not need to install any other tools, all the calls and chats and emails can be easily handled within the same platform and with the same credentials. I have also enjoyed the recent addition of AI assistance within the tool to rephrase text we send to customers, this and the call summaries are really handy in many situations we encounter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

I think it would be helpful to have a feature that helps us comply with our QA requirements, as well as a personal notebook where we can save our own templates or helpful texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is helping to have all of the channels for interactions with the same platforms benefitting the performance of low end computers by avoiding having to install other tools. It also solves the need to clock in or clock out your shift changes in a different tool, since every change of available status can be tracked within gladly.

What do you like best about Gladly?

I love that the database is cutomer driven so you can have all of their contact from all different channels show in one place. That makes it easier to see the big picture from the customer's point of view. It allows you to capture the tone of the customer as well as resolve the different channel contacts all in one convenient conversation. The addition of AI including Grammerly is just amazing. I use these features many times everyday. They make my job so much easier, allow our team as a whole to respond to customers quicker and provide better service along with more professional or friendly sounding responses. The spell check feature ensures that we never respond to a customer with incorrect spellings also. Part of our customer care team is based over seas and these are vital tools for ESL agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

I do not like the notifications that come across the top of the screen when you click next to get a new inquiry, it blocks the inquiry information that I am currently working on and is annoying. That is pretty much my only complaint though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allowing us to view and help customers in a customer centric manner, allowing us to know when we are answering timely and not, and alerting us when our SLA is not met so we can see where we need to improve. Being able to knock out all the different inquiries from different channels that a customer may have used to get ahold of us really cuts down on the workload instead of responding to each one on each different channel. We are also able to set up AI responses to respond to certain basic or common customer inquiries with no human interaction so our team can focus on more complicated issues. We are able to apply the correct level of response to every customer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

There are a few things I enjoy about gladly like the ease of viewing reporting, and the interface itself is very easy to use. I also love Gladly Answers, and how agents have the ability to view reference information while helping customers in one system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

There are a few things I think Gladly could still improve on.

Feedback For Gladly

- Showing agents’ name on the front end when customers are chatting in with them

- Being able to assign answer audiences at an agent level when logged into admin, or a group level

- When looking at agents in Live boards, In the list of agents, you cannot see who is on what team, like if you had all teams assigned to you, in the list, there are no criteria that show what team they are on

- When transferring a chat to a specific agent, in Gladly, you are not able to see if they are available or not. Having their name as green or something would be helpful to know if they were available for that conversation type (or maybe just chat).

- Being able to add a Hyperlink in a chat conversation message

- Being able to have a customer or agent send a chat transcript to the customer

- Being able to change idle time based on team groups, or some other factor than it being universal

- Being able to change your agent status / if you are available for a specific channel when on a call. Right now, if an agent ends a call, they might possibly get a new call if they are not fast enough to change their availability for channels.

- Having personal saved versions of Liveboards, like having different versions of a Liveboards with different teams and inboxes selected.

- Being able to enter in dashes when searching phone numbers in the search bar.

- Having agent names visible when chatting

- Priority level for tasks

- Only agents who are assigned a conversation should be able to respond, otherwise when an agent is on a conversation and declines, it stays there, and another agent could accept, but it looks like it may be assigned to the first agent, and then they can see that conversation. Only like an admin level should be able to write in those chats or emails if it’s not assigned to them. (I think it may be set this way because they are assigned to that inbox and if someone is gone then someone else can go in and respond to that).

- Be able to add scheduled holiday time for chats to be open, like the IVR.

- Ability to duplicate rules to create other rules off of, or change them for specific agents

- Reporting for answers to be able to combine data for who is using what report at what specific time, and to show the actual agent name and not the agent ID Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's solving one of the main issues we had as a company, which was to be able to connect with a customer all on one platform, and that has been very helpful so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

I like how simple and modern the interface is. My company has a few older folks that were used to using Five9 for years and when we switched to Gladly they were hesitant that they would be able to learn it, but the UI makes the switch over so much easier than we expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

When you have a chat or call come in, the banner blocks the options to go unavailable for calls and chats unless you decline the conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It combines all platforms for contact and communication into one website, which is very new for us because we used to have to use three different systems to take chats, calls, and emails. Now we can efficiently accept all forms of communication at the click of a button instead of switching back and forth between tabs. We are a lot faster now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

I like that I can call on help from right there within Gladly. It is very easy to navigate also. I like that I can go back and add notes. The way that if a customer is already in the system I can merge the account and and work from there with updating accounts. I like how I have plenty of room to put why I made the decisions I made to help the customer. I just really like the Gladly app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

I truly do not have any complaints about Gladly at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps me to keep up with who I helped thst day and what I did to help them. Like any discounts any problems they were having. It just helps me to keep an eye on things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gladly?

I love that Gladly is trying to make customer service better. Our team has the opportunity to view customer interactions and respond quickly to inquiries through the platform’s simple interface. I really like it’s integration with our CRM and ticketing systems removing a step in our workflow. With this integration we are ready to have all the essential information on hand and be enabled to offer tailor made support to our clients and build strong relations with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gladly?

One thing I don’t like about Gladly is how it doesn’t have more robust reporting functionality. It gives you some basic analytics but getting in depth insights enough for complete performance assessment could be difficult. This limits our ability to improve our support strategies on a faster cycle. Furthermore, the options for customizing reports narrows the way in which we view our data and not to mention pinpointing exactly what needs to improve about our customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Settling into Gladly, we have simplified how we handle customer support. All interactions are centralized and we respond to customer inquiries much faster with the platform. It also helps us collaborate with our team members more easily, so we can share important customer information. Overall, it helps us run our support operations more efficiently and pushes us that extra bit further to ensure that our customers are happy and we have long lasting relationships with our clients.
