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.

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 .

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

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.
