There are a ton of great features. I really like how I'm able to integrate directly into my website.

Whist the phone vibrates, without a sound some chats, are missed.

Never miss a live chat from a customer with its very reliable mobile app. Reliable customer tracking and live view is pretty amazing so we can help customers exactly when they need it.

Easy to setup, clean user interface, excellent customer support, help documents, and the automation flows helps my visitors to connect with me.

They have been adding features at a rapid pace over the past year. The new visual workflow tool is really impressive.

I like their super cool chat widget and user interface also their knowledgebase. Gist knowledgebase reduces customer ticket submission a lot.

The current product is super easy to use and integrate into the site. Live Chat is especially impressive as I can respond to clients easily from email, desktop, and mobile app and it syncs seamlessly.

Their live chat is top notch, but I've recently been using their Twitter chats integrations - which is quite good. Drip emails also looking good.

What I like most about Gist is the power it has yet the simplicity in it's implementation. I was able to get everything set up and to a basic launch within a few hours.

So far I'm very happy with Gist and their support team was outstanding.

Overall my experience of Gist is great. They have a quality product and whenever I need support their team is there to help me.

I do feel that th level of the translation to Swedish is a bit low. It could have been done in a more profesional way, some of the content is badly translated.

The one thing that we absolutely love is how stunning the live chat component looks on our website and how easy it was to install and set up.

I pasted some code on my site and now the conversation bubble is active. I really appreciate how I can customize which pages it appears on.

There is even an awesome live view that lets me spy on visitors to see how they're using the site. The tools are powerful, easy to use, and constantly getting improvements.

The trial/princing was a bit confusing and we had to redo the internal process due to that.

That is saving us money and time. More importantly, we can support our clients and potential clients 24 hours a day and seven days a week and we can serve them with very targeted messaging and help.

Gist has a lot of great features and a fantastic UX for both site visitors and support agents. The onboarding was very intuitive, also thanks to their detailed documentation.

Great UI and professional chatbot / LiveChat solution on the front and back end. I love the unified inbox feature too.

I love the clean look and the wide variety of options. It is very good that you have all communication with your users in one place.

The chat interface is clear, simple and great looking for the end user and makes chat management really straightforward for the organisation.

I like all the options to set up the system the way you work best and get information fast on the reports page.

Even some of the Gist communication emails land in spam. Founder's attitude on going back on his words underhandedly.

They brought in some email engineers and moved over to a new backend service. It was annoying but we held out with them.

It is helping us a lot with our customer support. Turning our visitors into leads is simply awesome.

A fantastic team, committed to the product - already great and getting better every day.

The limited features, functionality and the overall feel of the product.

An all in one marketing software that is far better than the competition and at half the price. It does all sorts of marketing automation.

Email count time timers, API integration, and did I mention the excellent form builder. The price is very reasonable for all the love, care and attention to development the Gist team put in.

After I had this experience with the emails I told them to delete my billing information as I didn't want to be charged another $200 in December when the addons I purchased were due to renew.

Overall it is a good product. Better than most of the products available, considering the cost and other factors.

Easy to use, easy to implement and gives our customers easy access to us.

The extent of its integration with WooCommerce. Can't send proper cart abandonment emails because so far it can't generate an abandoned cart link.

The overall experience has been great so far and the Gist's customer support has been helpful and friendly every time we needed their assistance.

Giva is easy to learn and use, very visual, and the dashboard is amazing.

We are very happy with Giva and highly recommend it to our colleagues in healthcare and other security minded and demanding industries.

We can immerse ourselves in the data and quickly see key information and trends. We had some very big issues with onboarding new employees and customers due to our rapid growth.

Awesome homepage dashboard with lots of functions that help us focus and on top. Very nice interface, not cluttered and easy on my eyes.

Low TCO and high ROI on our labor and money invested in Giva. Great Tsunami Ticket to help consolidate issues in a major outage.

In my opinion, it excels when being extensible with a good API to integrate with current business processes and user management.

The technical support is excellent, very responsive and they always provide thoughtful answers.

The ROI generated has been tremendous. Giva has given us operational transparency and allows our teams to better collaborate.

Excellent Dashboards and Reports; Fantastic Customer Service.

We use the Knowledgebase a great deal. It is easy to use and allows us keep a very high first call resolution.

We never heard of Giva before, but we were very impressed when we did a deep dive and thorough 30-day trial.

Giva helps IT deliver excellent customer satisfaction to our users.

We like the multiple independent service desk function and may deploy it to other departments like Customer Service and HR to get the same benefits that we’ve realized in IT.

I don't like change, and when new releases come out (about once per month), I weep a bit while I adjust. However, the releases are all backward-compatible have never caused us a problem.

We compared Giva to KACE 1000 by Quest, Spiceworks, AutoTask and others. Giva’s user interface is considerably more elegant, well designed and easy to look at all day.

When there was a change in the ticket screen that was not optimal, they fixed it in just a few weeks.

Our IT and Facilities staff and 400 employees are very happy with Giva.

It is super easy to get up and running right “out of the box. There is depth to the configuration options, but it’s presented in a way that’s incremental and easy to understand.

Superb Service Desk for a very large retailer. Excellent dashboard and Reports.

We worked together on the AD integration and found the support team quite helpful and eager to ensure our needs were met.

There are not any aspects of Giva that we don't like right now. They keep on releasing new features almost every month.

Well maybe one item but not a major concern of mine. It's the fact they don't have a customer support line.

We looked at many different options and were happy to learn that we could do so much customization with Giva. It’s easy to get actionable information out of Giva; other systems have a lot of friction.

We were able to replace another Facilities software application with Giva and save more money. The Reports are super easy to run and provide excellent insights.

The HIPAA compliant application is very user friendly which allowed us to quickly roll out the employee self-service portal to 900 people with limited training.

There is so much value in Giva that it was easy to get it approved.

The Reports and Dashboards are excellent. We got HIPAA compliance for a great price with great functionality.

It is a good, stable, basic help desk software application that is not over-burdened with complex configuration and setup.
