What do you like best about SmileBack?

I like how easy it is to setup. I have helped a lot of partners implement SmileBack, and it doesn't take much time at all. I also like the automations to create a ticket when a negative survey is received. We also set up the integration to Teams so we get notified immediately when someone leaves a review with a comment. Also the integration into our website so potential clients can read our positive survey results! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmileBack?

I wish there was a way to send a survey on a closed project. The workaround was to configure a survey for a project ticket, but we ended up having to create a custom status "Closed/Send Survey" and had to remember to use that on just one project ticket in the work plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were using the built in CW surveys before, and no one would ever actually fill them out. SmileBack got us way more feedback from customers because it was just a simple click to gather feedback, and optionally they could leave a comment. Super easy and simple for the end user.

The ease of use (both for the customers and for our end). The customers receive an email after each ticket is closed and simply click a face and add feedback if desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmileBack?

There aren't any downsides that I can think of - we have hit a few bumps since we first deployed it (email protection features submitting surveys etc.) but they have corrected these issues with us. Their support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were having difficulty gathering feedback on a ticket by ticket basis. SmileBack has solved that. Since we implemented it in 2016 we have received over 21k reviews with an average response rate of 38.4%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SmileBack?

Bit-Wizards has been using the SmileBack service for a short while. At the time of this review, we have been utilizing the tools for about two months. Our Managed IT Services (MITS) line of business uses AutoTask for ticketing, projects, and billing, and originally we wanted to use the AutoTask thermometer tool as a CSAT tool. It made sense at the time because we were already paying for it, so why not? We learned very quickly that this tool does not work the way I specifically wanted it to work. What I needed was CSAT tool that would show the rating icons in an email when a domain has not been added as a safe sender, I needed the ability to update a review if it was filled out in error, and I needed the ability to pull metrics and seamlessly build reports. AutoTask has not been able to accomplish any of those things. However, SmileBack has. I discovered SmileBack and pushed for a demo and I am happy I did. I am not utilizing everything there is to offer, but I am getting there. I plan to integrate SmileBack with our BrightGauge and I am very satisfied with how easy the tool is to use and the user-friendly management portal. Customer service has been exceptional (Rory was my "sales rep") and I love that SmileBack is continuously pushing out new features and training opportunities. My job revolves around operations and client satisfaction and SmileBack is making my job (which is super stressful, thankyouverymuch) easier. Seriously, I'm a tough critic. I am very happy. Keep up the great work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmileBack?

Would love to see more reporting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SmileBack:

I would love to see customizable feedback icons (really, the only thing we liked from Customer Thermometer) and customizable widgets and more detailed reporting options. I like the current KPI's and I don't know exactly what I would want to see more of, but I know I like reporting and data/statistics are helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The first problem was not knowing how our clients feel about us. I know what our primary points of contact think, but I did not know what the individual end-user thought after we were finished taking care of their IT issues. I wanted a seamless way to gather feedback without asking our clients to put forth much effort. We get a ton of feedback, our clients are clicking and leaving feedback and it's accomplishing what I originally wanted. Now, moving forward I would like to figure out how to use this information to help my team and provide an even better service to our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for our clients and the dashboard view for management. Smileback customer support is excellent and the sales process was simple and non-pushy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When/if there is a dissatisfied client I am aware of it immediately and can reach out to find a resolution. This has greatly improved the opinion of our customer support. Our clients have stated "It is nice to know that we are being heard." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SmileBack?

I appreciate that you can access real time feedback that is both useful and shareable. We import that feedback on our website for social proof, so that our customers can have insight into the quality of work we do and the quality of people that we have on staff. We've always love the reporting that we get from SmileBack, but the new reporting system is top notch and hits it out of the park! Love the clear data that you are able to utilize from SmileBack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmileBack?

There is not much we dislike, it is an awesome platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SmileBack:

Use it! You won't regret it. It is a wonderful way of gathering and analyzing the status of your company's success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to get customer reviews and feedbacks quickly, and use that feedback to adjust to our customers needs and wants. Additionally we export the Smileback reviews and apply that information to our employee files to utilize during employee reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SmileBack?

The statistics and insight provided by issuing the customer surveys.

We send ours out with the 3 smiley faces and we've had a generally positive response with some clients responding to every request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmileBack?

Only issue would be the view of who actually worked on a ticket, but this is more an issue of internal process that something that the smileback app would necessarily solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use the tool for three purposes:

Address customer complaints: If someone is unhappy they may not respond to an engineer but we've found they are happy to use the red face to express dissatisfaction. We can then follow up and take notes on what they were disappointed with.

Gauge satisfaction for each client: We can see generally how people are feeling from the CSAT scores.

Nurture competition and provide incentive to provide the best service possible. We internally run a competition based upon the scores each engineer achieves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
