Reducing escalations with Supportbench
Unlike our previous system, Supportbench is super easy to use. Because of the cohesiveness and analytics imbedded in the dashboard, our customer’s problems immediately clear and it’s much easier to solve tickets.
PROSBecause of the Supportbench SLA’s and knowledge base features there are customized prompts that give quick solutions to our team and to customers and prevents unnecessary tickets being opened. We’ve been able to maintain consistent entries and reduce escalations, to a point that our retention rates have increased.
CONSTheir internal support team is great, but I don't want to ask all the time. I think I need another training session to explore the system further.

Easy to navigate Support platform.
Needed Salesforce and Jira integrations, not just plug-ins, and Supporbench was the only system that could do that for us, with chat.
PROSThe Supportbench pricing model helped suit our smaller company as we are growing. We’re paying a reasonable per-agent rate and it only incrementally increases as we scale. The first in first out prioritization of most systems haven’t ever suited us, the method of SLAs of Supportbench works well with our complex workflows.

Supportbench Review
We've encountered some bugs with Supportbench but their team has been very quick to respond and resolve the issues. They also check in regularly to see how we're doing. The support has been great so far.
PROSThe support from their team is great. They are quick to respond and have had all the answers to my questions.
CONSThe UX could use some improvement. The agent desk interface seems a little bit bulky and has a different feel than other web applications.

Supportbench : The unsung hero of Customer Support
Supportbench has allowed for our team to work as productively, efficiently and effectively as possible like a well oiled machine. With today’s socio-economic problems, one is always concerned about staying afloat, however with Supportbench affordable price range, I need not worry anymore.
PROSThe standout feature of Supportbench is that it allows me to customise my day to day experience. From the influx of emails to weekly reporting, Supportbench has allowed email management to feel like a breeze. Our team is able to work with and present accurate information with the scheduled data reports feature. Supportbench allows our team to work wherever, whenever as there’s more than just one way to receive notifications.
CONSOver the years I have realised that not all of us can learn and adapt easily as the next person so even though I am becoming a pro with Supportbench, I do think it may need to become a bit more hands with their explanations or even come up with a simpler how to guide

Supportbench is our new hero of Customer Support
Switching from Freshdesk to Supportbench has transformed the way we manage our customers. We didn’t realise how challenged our department was until we implemented Supportbench and everything became so easy.
CONSThe initial setup was a little like trying to herd cats because we have had to completely change the way we’ve been doing things.

Supportbench is a Triumph
With Supportbench we finally have a magnifying glass on our performance. Plus, the ChatGPT integration makes us feel like we've invited a smarty-pants AI to our office party!
PROSDitching Freshdesk for Supportbench was like trading in my old clunker for a flying car. Suddenly, our customer support management feels less like juggling cats and more like a well-choreographed ballet.
CONSBut let's not sugarcoat it. The initial setup was like putting together IKEA furniture blindfolded. And the reporting feature? Kind of like promising a grand feast and delivering a salad. We could really use some extra analytics and a full-on BI interface.

Next-level Customer Contact Management
Overall, this product has really changed my experience in IT/Helpdesk support. I can't recommend it enough, and hope other companies get on board with using it, as I feel it'll help many other support technicians simplify their time at work, just as it's simplified mine.
PROSThis software has been incredible in helping us track ticket requests more accurately, with a wonderful interface, to boot. The notes have been a huge help in keeping track of the situations on each ticket, and it does this better than other software, in my opinion. I have yet to see any real errors, which I can't say for a large amount of other ticket-management software out there. The lack of limit on queues has been amazing for keeping things organized and flowing well during heavy-traffic business hours. The interface is also amazingly clean and simple in its design, while still having all the features easily accessible. It's astounding how well this software is designed, and I hope to see it grow. I've learned a lot about what support desk software is capable of without breaking the bank for the company. Every time I've needed help, they've always been able to fix it within a few minutes, as well. They provide truly top-notch customer support that I feel falls off a bit with the more expensive and higher-end software, such as Zendesk.
CONSThere was a bit of a hiccup as I was learning how to use it, but it ended up being on me. Their customer support came to the rescue once again and helped me sort it out in no time, so I honestly can't say I have a con at this point.

The end of a long and tiring search for the right helpdesk
It took me several false starts and a lot of research before I found Support Bench. I wish I'd found them first, it would have saved me a chunk of time and money. It has addressed all our current help desk requirements and looks like it's capable of growing with us as we take on more staff and improve our process. It's clear that they are constantly developing and refining the product.
PROSI spent way longer than I wanted to, or expected to, trying to find a good system. The team behind this software is extremely responsive. I had a few questions and a couple of issues when first getting started and they responded extremely quickly and helped me get back on track. They are also willing to consider suggestions and feature requests and have already actioned a couple of small requests I made. The SLA warnings are very useful and it's easy to spot when items are starting to slip. Setting up responses and templates is very straightforward. Extremely competitive price means that any size company will be able to run this desk. Super-friendly team. It's clear the guys get on great and are very enjoyable to work with.
CONSI'd like to be able to customize the views a little more - for example I'd like to be able to resize the column widths which is not currently possible, but I have heard it's something they are working on. Workflows work perfectly but are not as simple to set up as some systems I tried out.

Supportbench lets me focus on other needs of the business
I love how Supportbench allows me to focus on all my other tasks, outside of problem solving. Since implementing Supportbench we’ve been able to connect all departments, allowing both our Sales and Marketing teams to see overlapping themes and focus on big picture improvements.
PROSSupportbench has markedly raised our customer happiness and made my teams more efficient. Supportbench’s third-party platform integrations are seamless; they’re not plug ins. We’ve already been able to let go of 2 tools we were using/paying for because Supportbench does it within the system already. Also, there aren't any limits on the plan. You get everything included and no one has been bothering to upsell our company.
CONSThe customer portal, if you want to customize it, you need some coding expertise. However the Supportbench team can make almost all types of modifications as you need them.

Support Bench Saved us Hundred hour
There are still some integrations in the system that we’re looking for and looking forward to them building it down the line.
PROSWe have been using Supportbench for a over a year now and it has been helping us streamline our workflows. The customer support team at Supportbench is also incredibly friendly and helpful; shout out to [sensitive content hidden]!
CONSSome of the features in Supportbench… I’ve never seen them in any system. It’s great as I can work the way I want to work with the tool that I need at my finger tips. The system's features are also well-organized, it feels as though a Support Team actually built it.
Reasons for switching to Supportbench
Bench is better than Zendesk because it simplifies the customer service process and provides a more automated, personalized experience. Bench takes the hassle out of having to manage multiple customer service software solutions, as it provides an all-in-one customer service platform that includes ticketing, live chat, automation, and more. Additionally, Bench is more affordable than Zendesk and offers a more robust suite of features and customization options.

Great Experience
The communication we have between Support and Sales had greatly benefited our bottom line. Very pleased with the outcome of this system.
PROSWell, since implementing Supportbench and collaborating with their team, we’ve completely changed the way we work within Support and Success. We’re focused on our customers and we’re finding increased revenue opportunities and able to achieve a higher level of referral-based customers.
CONSWe had some issues when we first began but we have a dedicated support person now and we’ve had no issues since then. If you're comfortable with this and you think you can give us a good review, I can send over the links for you to post on. Once you send me screen shots of the 3 posts, I'll send you the first milstone.

Killer Customer Management Solution
Supportbench is refreshingly user friendly. It’s been a great advantage of our growing company because we’re handing more customer issues than ever before and we have far fewer complaints because we’re resolving tickets so efficiently.
PROSWith Supportbench’s Omnichannel tool set, we’re now able to provide exceptional customer service across every customer touchpoint. Handling emails, social accounts and chat are peaceful because it’s finally all professionally configured. The calendar feature makes it so easy to organize internal teams and respective tasks as well at external appointments. Also, having no queue limits or restriction on service levels has helped us designate work more effectively than ever before.
CONSStill finding that the mobile app needs some extra work, it’s ok, but could be better.

Very helpful tool for my support role in our company.
We have been using Supportbench for the last 4 months. I have been able to download an extensive amount of data into the data base to help me support our customers and employees. Cases are easy to build and follow throughout the entire process. The best part of Supportbench is the help I have received from representative at Supportbench. If I have an issue with the software or there is a feature that we could use to make my job easier, he has been extremely proactive to get it taken care of or give me the answers I need to move forward. I highly recommend Supportbench if you need to track any cases for support within your company.
