"Finally a Product that Makes Supporting Technical Users Delightful"
5/5
What do you like best about Plain?

Plain provides an opinionated way to support customers for B2B businesses, especially those that serve technical audiences like ours. From easy integrations to a streamlined UX for engineers to support other engineers, it just works. No complex workflows, yet plenty of flexibility, and a team that is an absolute delight to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Single pane of glass for support staff"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Plain?

Plain's best feature is easily the ability to quickly triage and review incoming tickets and questions from a variety of sources. Being able to have a single pane of glass view for Slack, email, and forum posts makes it far easier than constantly having to jump between a ticket management system and messaging apps. Best of all, it works well even when on mobile web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plain?

The search functionality is a little limited in its ability to search the contents of past threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible product, responsive team, would definitely recommend"
5/5
What do you like best about Plain?

Support platforms aren't always particularly exciting, but you want them to be nice to use especially when you're spending half your day in them. Plain is exactly that. It's really fast to work through tickets, but also has some extra features that help deliver great support - I especially love the link with Linear tickets so that when a bug gets fixed or a change gets made, we can inform customers who reported it to us.

Plain's also got a great deal of flexibility, with a really fully-featured API that lets you build lots of custom integrations and automations. Their team is also super responsive to feedback and questions, and it's clear that they care a great deal about customer feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plain?

The AI is a bit behind some competitors, but I'm sure they are working hard to catch up behind the scenes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plain?

1 thing I dislike about Plain is the searching functionality. I fee like the it's not that clear or the searching capability is not that well designed. Sometimes I struggle to find tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
