"One of the best live chat tool out there"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

My favourite part about Freshchat is the quick option to use canned templates. As a Chat Support, I always have to be fast when answering customer inquiries and this feature helps a lot. It's very easy to edit out the templates if needed and we can add as many as we want!

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Not really a downside but I think one opportunity Freshchat can work on is the option to merge chats. Some customers would sometimes use a new tab and that would open a new chat even they are already speaking with an agent. I hope there's a way to merge multiple chats from one customer just like in Freshdesk.

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

We do use Freshchat to almost all of our website pages. Some customer inquiry requires immediate response and Freshchat helps us do this. Instead of asking customers to email us and make them wait for hours for a response, with Freshchat, we can assist them right away.

"Freshchat Overview"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

I like how I can have jot forms automatically save for easy access to send to customers.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

There is nothing that I dislike about Freshchat so far.

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

Freshchat has helped us communicate with our customers in a way that is more comvenient for them. The customer does not have to wait in line in a queue and they can always walk away from their chat and message back for their chat to re-open at their convenience. This helps the customer multitask, as they get assistance on the go and can also do other things.

The main problem it is solving is that it bridges the communication channel between users and producers as regards to the service provided to the users and producers are also able to get feedback as a result of freshchat

"Excellent"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Interface is excellent, support is very helpful.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The same WhatsApp number cannot be shared between Freshdesk Omnichannel and Freshsales. This is a major issue that needs to be resolved. We CANNOT have a separate number for sales and notifications.

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

It gives us an integrated system to manage support queries from various sources - WhatsApp, Instagram, email, et cetera.

"Great tools by FreshWorks"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Easy interface and setup. Great way to communicate with your customers in a timely manner or use it as a second or third source for support. The API is also a great way to have additional benefits if you want to create your own dashboard across all the Freshworks systems.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Support has been great, but it does take some time to fix an issue if it is a complex case. The support should start with an email, and if the communication keeps going back and forth, I think a call is warranted so we can fix the issue and close the case. I do not have many things to say negatively about FreshChat.

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

Faster responses to our clients via the chat. If the issue can not be resolved by chat, then we will reach out.

"Best tool for customer experience"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It is a very complete tool, it is very simple to understand and provides a super complete context of the client's profile which allows the experience team to have their work much easier

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

There are still some integrations that cannot be done natively and we end up doing them on our own which implies an additional cost and they do not end up having the best integration. Anyway, whenever we make suggestions, they listen to us and it is seen that the technical team is constantly working and growing.

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

we are an insurance broker, thanks to freshdesk measseging we were able to digitize our operations, we were able to increase our service hours by more than 60% and considerably reduce waiting and response times.
