A Comprehensive SUPPORT Solution
Thus far, our experience with Supportbench has been fantastic. It’s been the perfect system for managing our high volume of incoming cases extremely quickly and easily.
PROSOne big draw to Supportbench is the price point. It’s incredibly cost-effective, especially when factoring in the volume of feature sets as we’ve been able to replace some other expensive tools with Supportbench. We also didn’t spend a lot on the initial set-up and training.
CONSThere are some reporting features we’re waiting for, however, Supportbench’s documentation and internal support has been great with work-arounds.
Reason for choosing Supportbench
I chose Supportbench over Freshdesk because it offers a more reliable and user-friendly interface. All these features make Supportbench a better choice for me.
Reasons for switching to Supportbench
There are many reasons I choose to switch from Desk.com to SupportBench. Some of the features and benefits offered by SupportBench that are attractive to me Like more customization and automation options, better customer service analytics, improved customer support features such as ticket routing, and more.

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.

The Sherlock Holmes of Customer Support
Let me tell you, Supportbench is the cat's pajamas! No need to keep the IT team on speed dial anymore - we're in the driver's seat. And with those snazzy features like AI-driven sentiment analysis and intent detection, it's like having our own customer support Sherlock Holmes!
PROSSince we left Zendesk to welcome Supportbench, things have been smooth sailing. This nifty tool even dishes out a 360-degree customer overview. It's like we've got customer support superpowers now!
CONSThe only gripe I have is that their self-help guide feels a bit like a treasure hunt without a map. More detailed documentation would be way more useful

SupportBench – Elevating Customer Service to new heights
Maintaining a reliable and efficient customer service base is no easy task especially if you’re receiving requests and responses left, right, and centre but with SupportBench I am able to do this and MORE! At the end of the day, I would not want to compromise my business and with SupportBench I don’t need to as it is cost-effective and efficient.
PROSAs a business owner, Supportbench allows me to view my sales data as well as create workflows on our customer's information. Supportbench’s exciting feature allows me to view and respond to customer’s requests and questions more efficiently than usual. Integrating chatbots using ChatGPT is an amazing feature I thought I never needed. Customizable, user-friendly, and affordable sums up my satisfaction.
CONSThis is not a red cross against SupportBench but I do wish for their support to be as efficient as the SupportBench tool.

True Case management with Supportbench
Supportbench has not only enhanced our customer support but also played a pivotal role in team accountability and performance tracking. The customizable SLA’s have been pivotal in this respect.
PROSWe’ve been able to customize the Supportbench dashboards and KPI scorecards. That’s something we were never really able to do in quite an intuitive ways. Its malleable enough that we’re able to work the way we want to work. Also we have a clear view of our performance and areas to improve.
CONSWe haven’t gotten through the whole system yet. I can see there are a lot more feature sets we could be using if we took the time at a department level.

A New Way of Ticketing with Supportbench
it has led to a more proactive approach in customer management and for now, fewer escalations.
PROSThe health scoring is definitely a standout. Gave me insights i didn't have before, certainly not in a ticketing tool.

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.

Resolving IT tickets in NO Time
Working in customer support is challenging at the best of times and Supportbench has become my favorite software. It helps me organize my work, notifies me of things I need to get done, and makes my life a lot easier. I also have to give a shout out to their support team, I read reviews before I started my trial that said they were great, and they really are and make you feel like they are a part of your team.
PROSFrom the initial trial to the onboarding, it’s been surprisingly friendly and easy to walk through. You don’t have to be an IT expert to know how to use it or add integrations, you just need to know what you want, which can be challenging. For things that I haven’t been able to answer, I’ve been able to find videos that are easy to follow and if I can find one, their support team made videos for our team to watch and follow. One of my favorite parts is that we can brand it with our company logo and colors, it makes it feel like software built just for us
CONSThe user interface takes a bit of getting used to as they so things pretty different from any other ticketing systems I’ve used in the past. Could use some tweaking here and there.

So far, I've been very pleased with my experience with Supportbench. It offers a comprehensive customer service tool set but it can also perform as project management software as well.

In all honesty, the app doesn’t have that big of a drawback. I would just suggest expanding its functionalities to further improve the user’s experience.
PROSSupportbench is easy to navigate and convenient to use. A lot better than other ticketing software in terms of interface and functionality. I can see all the data that I need to in a simplified and organized way. And if it’s not precisely what I want, I can customize it to fit what I need quite easily.
