Excellent tool to provide superior customer experience

Overall, Freshchat is a great tool for the customer support team. It easily gets integrated with most of the tools. We have used the integration of Freshchat & Freshdesk to manage live chat and tickets.

PROS

We were using Freshchat for managing customer support queries for a delivery business. I liked the ability of Freshchat to manage agents at scale with very good visibility for managers with tracking and reporting. The dashboard has all the options for viewing agents' performance and quality over time. We also used Facebook and Whatsapp integration to put chats of all channels into one place. This helped in improving the productivity of our team.

CONS

I liked all the features apart from chatbots. I found the chatbot very expensive considering the volume of our chats.

Great for front end customer service

I love Freshcaht! It's made customer engagement so much more pleasant for our company as our target audience are not exactly tech-savvy people. This simple and easy to use chatbot is simply a blessing .

PROS

I love the chat bot. This is being seen more and more on various websites with huge traffic and Freshchat does it so well. The fact that the bot interacts with you until such a point where it decides that it can no longer assist and only then pushes you through to a human. This is amazing because it allows you to customise so many outcomes.

CONS

The bot is a bit laggy at times and irresponsive. This, however, is not a major issue as it resolves itself after about a minute. There are times when a comm will be sent via the bot but no response will come through for about a minute.

Reason for choosing Freshchat

We purchased licences for Freshdesk and naturally wanted to try out Freshchat as well.

Highlight disappointed. Customer service is almost non-existent. Too many technical difficulties.

Highly disappointed.

PROS

It appears to have robust features and they attempt to offer cutting edge technologies.

CONS

I am highly disappointed in the Freddy chatbot. It was supposed to their best chatbot but I was extremely disappointed with it. We set up everything in the test environment and we liked how it worked, so we signed up for a one year service. However, after going live, we found out the live mode doesn't work exactly the same way as the preview mode. We went over with them several times and they admitted some functions don't appear to work the same. Their tech support admitted almost all of the errors but they never get back to us. I also asked if I could cancel it but they told me no because I made a one year commitment. I signed up for the service based on how it functioned in the preview model and we didn't think in a million years it would function otherwise. I was also disappointed in lack of tech support. They have great support for FreshDesk but not for FreshChat. When I called the support number, I was told there is no phone support for FreshChat. I emailed and we were able to meet them online to go over the errors and they recognized them but they would just not get back to us. I can’t say I recommend it.

Reason for choosing Freshchat

Because we also use FreshDesk

Fresh Chat - positive and negative points

In general , its good tool for direct contact with clients , user friendly for agents like any platform can always be improved .

PROS

I like the most that you can always edit , add or delete canned responses , so this can help agents to be ready always with answers to new updates .I like that its easy to be learned, not complicated

CONS

I prefer if there was option to delete a message after its sent to client , same feature as in whatsappAlso sometimes a new chat will come with no notification , even all notifications are on .Also it will be better to have a search option on the chats , based on the labels of the chats tickets And would be better also ,if chat can still be open for more than 24 hours .

Low code no code budget friendly chatbot platform

It is overall good for development of simple chatbots like fact sheet chatbot.

PROS

Adding another language translation, i can simply add it by downloading the Excel sheet of chat tree. & It works perfectly & simple UI of the platform.

CONS

Condition management for the chats is not that great. Like AND, OR conditions. In the same panel you can't have multiple conditions.

Reason for choosing Freshchat

We already have good partnership with freshdesk tool & we compared it with all the use cases that we have it match all our requirements.

Reasons for switching to Freshchat

It was too expensive for our company.

Didn't Stick with Freshdesk Messaging

Overall I had a poor experience with Fresdesk Messaging. I would honestly not recommend it to others based on my short experience. Again, we only used it for a trial run but all of my team members were fine to move on to the next option.

PROS

I was excited at the prospect of using Freshdesk. My company was looking to re-instate live chat on our site and wanted an app with a smaller footprint.

CONS

None of us could get the notifications to work. We had multiple people looking into it and it wouldn't work. It also felt overly complicated and not super user friendly. We tried a couple of bots during our trial period and they did not function how we indented.

Reasons for switching to Freshchat

We wanted something with a smaller footprint.

Best Support Chat App

It is helping by giving our customers a quick, familiar and simple way of contacting us so that they can receive the support they need. So ultimately it is helping our business grow.

PROS

It is simple and easy to use. The integration was seamless and fast. It is reliable and there is no downtime. It is very convenient for our customers to get in touch with us at any time.

CONS

I wish there was a better alert notification system when a chat has been initiated. There needs to be a constant alert until someone picks up the chat conversation.

An excellent entry into live chat support

Initially, I was looking for a live chat solution for one of our clients, but quickly realized the software could become useful for us as well. I explored several good options, including Tawk.to and Pure Chat, but found that overall, Fresh Chat offered the right combination of features and ease of use for our client, making it an obvious choice for us to support and recommend.

PROS

Fresh Chat is one of only a handful of free, robust tools for providing live customer support via your website with ease. Upfront, the ease of installation and configuration is fantastic. One needn't be an engineer to get this up and running quickly, as they provide all the tools needed. From plugins (WordPress in my case) to apps (Android and iOS both available), it's all easy to find, deploy, and use. In addition, there are numerous ways to integrate it with other systems, from Fresh Service, Fresh Desk, to third party integrations.

CONS

Perhaps the only area I think they could improve is by adding additional third party integrations, but that's a minor quibble, as they already offer several. In all likelihood the selection will grow over time.

User-friendly interface & pricing structure

Easy to manage tool that optimizes customer interaction, an incredible tool to have for a lean team. Much better than their competitors with respect to user interface, pricing, and customer support!

PROS

We could set it up easily since we had a few Freshworks' products integrated. The pre-built templates setup for the chatbot help in answering most of the common queries, making human interference minimal.The dashboards are intuitive, helping us understand the functioning and areas of improvement. This helps us communicate with a potential prospect as and when they have a query.

CONS

Although the existing integrations help, I would love to see some more features added that can help us increase collaboration with teams. The mobile experience is not as smooth as what their competitors offer.

A nice chat tool for your website, but could be better. Better when bought with the suite

PROS

A great range of integrations available for the third party applications. Full of features like creating workflow bot, triaging chats accordingly, reporting, labelling etc.

CONS

Setup of logical functions isn't that easy and needs a lot of iterations and help. Not easy to setup. But then this is needed for advanced usage of the tool which not everyone would require.

Reasons for switching to Freshchat

Because we needed an omnichannel setup.

Freshchat - Straightforward and Easy to Use

This has improved customer communication and resolving issues in a timely manner. Very proactive approach.

PROS

The software is very user friendly. It allows our clients to provide feedback while using our website which is very beneficial to improve in areas we need to address. The feature of having multiple chats open is a plus. This software will allows you to get back to your customer even if the customer already left your website by gathering their name, email and phone number. Very proactive approach to chat.

CONS

Notifications to the agents are not very loud, so they don't always hear it if on another chat tab. An improvement that is being worked on.

One of the best software for automated and natural customer chat responses

The overall experience was excellent, I was able to trust their app, and definitely liked their modern look of the UI.

PROS

I like their UI the best, it is very intuitive, easy to understand, and looks beautiful. I can also customize their theme as per my website's requirements. The automated responses they provide are intelligent, learn from previous answers, and can be hooked into any channel like WhatsApp, Sms, Messenger, etc. There is no more convenient app I have seen before. It's very simplified and provides real-time context for faster and more effective responses.

CONS

I did not identify any major con, and any issue I faced during setup was resolved by their customer support team, and they were quick to respond.
