It does the basic job of getting a ticket and responding, splitting incoming tickets into queues, even classifying it with tags, but don't expect a fully developed solution like Zendesk. Helpshift is just no there yet. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The feature so far is the cod you can inject in your app to query the remote mobile device hardware and software spec that helps a lot when troubleshooting tickets received. #### Cons it totally lacks a module do some BI number crunching providing basic information like, how much time an agent spent on a ticket ?

Lot of issues, updates break stuff. Old Objective-C based code-base. HelpshiftCore.install breaks application delegate methods. For example, deep linking started working after removing Helpshift.

It wildly narrows down your customer ticket count to those who really can't self-serve. Their tags and segmenting options help to create a super-automated customer support machine. #### Cons The price was high for a service dedicated solely to customer support. We had to contact support several times during set up, but they were helpful. Integration was the hardest part. --- ### Atendimento ao Cliente - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The service itself is of good level, especially the integration in the game is of good value. Also the different tag options make it easy to prioritize the answering of the issues. The only disadvantage of Helpshift so far was slow response to a significant issue on iOS and the difficult negotiations about renewing the contract whereby the price was increased in a non logical way. In the end this was resolved. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use in the game and quite easy integration --- ### Dragon Friends - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eden J. - Industry: Entertainment - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I have been using helpshift for the past 3 months and I don't really like it at all. Partly bcoz in my previous company I was using Zendesk and I felt its feature much more userfriendly than help shift. It could also be possible that my current company dont feel those features or functionality as neccessary but it really sucks big time. Positive points would be that the downtime is very much less and if issue reported, it is quickly addressed realtime. Keep up the good work in that front. But seriously you shld improve a lot. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Downtime or issue is less #### Cons Need lot of improvement in being user friendly especially for agents who use the tool everyday as well as the manager who runs report. --- ### Easy to use tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Raji J. - Industry: Internet - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

We thought we were responsive and cared about our customers, but trying to handle issues with email and a FAQ page was no substitute for a carefully designed, scalable, and easy to use system.
