"SaaS company using freshchat for lead gen and support"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat is incredibly easy to implement and customize. Our support tickets have gone from 10-16 hours to close... to 1-3 hours. And we haven't waited longer than 2 hours to follow up on inbound sales interest.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Honestly nothing. It's a great system. Maybe the pricing plans can be consolidated a bit more.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maximizing lead gen from company website visits and engaging current clients for support issues while they are ACTUALLY using our product.

"Exceptional Chat Support System !"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat has been one of the best chat support systems I have used till now. I have worked with multiple other chat support systems and I can confidently say that Freshchat is one of the best performed among them. The unparalleled amount of features provided and the best-in-class customization features are a couple of things that make Freshchat stand at the top. The number of integration available for Freshchat has helped me and my organization achieve faster resolution of a lot of customer queries and assist our userbase in a more effective and efficient method.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The pricing is something that I would like Freshchat to work on as there are multiple other platforms also available at a lower cost. Also,a better support system when issues occur can also be done so that there will not be any delays in handling any critical issues.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshchat mainly assists in connecting the live customers to our live agents where we can directly interact with users and try resolving queries on chat or if it is necessary, convert the chat to a ticket where a higher level team will be able to resolve the concern. This is the primary focus of my organization with the help of Freshchat. The integration with freshchat and the labeling systems which is place is helping us identity the buckets where the customer has pain points and solve them.

"User friendly - easy flow of conversation"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Chats have spell check and grammatical corrections, like the private note feature. Easy to add files for transfer to client. Easy flow of chat back and forth, canned remarks and message read notifications.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Sound notifications can be lost though that could be a connection issue with windows. More sound options would be good. More Font options - Ability to mark a chat to come back to later for any follow up. Initiate a new chat with a client rather than continue a current one.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not sure of what enhancements are being made at this time. Currently the product works fine for it's purposes

"Freshchat is user friendly and easy to use."
What do you like best about Freshchat?

What is like the best about Freshchat is the design of the app that makes it easy to use and you may add a lot of templates which is important in answering chats.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Everything is good in Freshchat. I just hope that it offers more features like you can access the emails as well on the same website but in different tab so you can easily manage your chats and emails.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshchat can provide real-time support and we seldom experience any delay in chat so we can answer each and every customer on time. We also appreciate the different tabs on which chats are open and resolved so we can easily track each conversation.

"Easy and Simple"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

How easy it is to manage. Has several nice features and team keeps improving them.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Bot need some improvement (but I know this is recent)

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping out clients who need to have some questions solved before they book. If we answer asap, clients turn into happy guests. I feel that when questions are answered live, guests feel very supported and will more likely book with us cause we are always there to help.

"Simple and fast yet complex solution to offer chat for your customers."
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Bringing our customers a alternative modern way of reaching us other then calling or mailing us. The setup was really simple and fast. I also appreciate the helpfulness of Freshchat support in setting up the chat on our website. The pricing was also very confusing in the beginning however i recieved very good support which helped our company to make a good decision in what plan we should use.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The logic is a bit different in the settings from which i am used to as a swedish/european consumer but when all is explained it is possible to understand. For example as i am writing this it said "9 characters remaining" but it could say "minimum 40 characters - 9 characters remaining", it's the small details which makes difference. We still have some minor issues which needs to be adressed, my expectation was this not to be an issue in the first place. For example we still have team members who can't login and set up thier accounts.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our problem is that we have over 20-30000 errands / year through freshdesk. We want to be faster and more effective. We must offer our customers the solution before they ask the question and the chat with "predefined answers" and the "FAQ" is a way of doing this for us.

"Freshchat is a simple and sophisticated live chat"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It is a messaging software with functions that help us improve the user experience and add value to our customer service. It is easy to use and has customization features. It is integrated into customer service environments and responds perfectly to the expectations of marketing and sales teams since it helps to capture leads through multiple communication channels -like Facebook Messenger-. Integrations with third-party software (such as CRM and helpdesk) are great for increasing performance and effectively managing workflows.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

So far I have had a good experience with Freshchat, it is a user-friendly software with excellent customer support.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to guarantee a stable and optimal service. It is also fantastic to capture leads and manage communications with users. It is also useful for evaluating important metrics such as resolution time or workload of agents. Deepening these aspects help us improve the service we provide.

"Great Live Chat platform!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Compared to some of the bigger players like Intercom and Drift, I think FreshChat is doing *incredibly* well - both in their features and in their price point. Their service is way more accessible for my agency stuff and I've recommended it to all my clients who have also seen great results.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Support services hours are off-and-on. I really have no idea when I can contact them, and the response times vary from instant response to a day or so, even on business days. It's not a bad response time, but it's just my thoughts. I would love to see some improvements to the bot as well.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a better time helping clients turn prospects into customers by being able to answer questions on the spot, instead of waiting on getting an answer via email.

"Simple and to the point"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The ability to create tickets off the chat and that customers do get that ticket number as well. Also like the ability to adjust your views and only see what is necessary to you.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

There tend to be a lot of glitches and delays from time to time. Chats not properly assigned, delays with mobile chat. Minor tweaks and adjustments in the system can be cause for bigger issues.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reaching a larger population of our customer base.
