"It's good but.."
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like the fact that the message to the customer will not send unless you press both keys. It helps prevent errors in messaging

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I do not like the rating system. I prefer a good or bad rating vs the 1-5 stars rating method

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

Helpshift is ultimately more convenient. It's easier to store your macros and much easier for share information within the messages with my coworkers.

"Helpshift lost our interest "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift was easy for the techs to install and the training was a breeze. I personally thought helpshift was better for the Recruiters because they are not able to make the weekly meetings.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Faculty lost interest in helpshift because they prefer skype for business. I attribute this to us trying out different software so often recently because we are trying to be as efficient as possible.

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

None as the faculty didn’t give it a fair testing opportunity because as previously stated they are already set to use skype for business and did not give helpshift a fair run. I think it far more efficient for the recruiters opposed to using skype.

"Review for Helpshift"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Commands for immediate response to the customers and user-friendly. It can be used for newcomers immediately and they just need like 1-2 hrs to review how the system works - Accessible portal in the system - The team always provides updates in maintenance and follows the exact time and date when they implement the maintenance - They will state if the system will encounter some issues and they will prompt you that you replied to the players alreayd or not some other ticketing system don't have any prompt showing this tasks in the system. - Also, they have implemented some smart views that will help admins to differentiate different issues from one another in the system and it ahelp us to validate which issue we shoul do first.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

- Always having connectivity issues - Lack of personal data (avg. ticket, charts) - Ability to change the color of the text - Ability to sort via a bullet system not by tags - Need more accurate results when using tags - We need more ability to view image in seperate window in Helpshift -

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

Queueing of tickets - Can be accessed without any VPN or 3rd party apps

"Helpshift is great tool for customer service"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift can be integrated with many other resources and systems to make attending easier. When it comes to attending to customers, it offers a variety of possibilities to search for information.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The attention must be regular. Sometimes a tag not put in the correct place must compromise the chat, either disappearing messages or not sending them.

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

Firstly, Helpshift helps with the bots solving the first client contact. If it cannot be solved, it directs to an agent. Through this product, we can assist and help our clients with their demands.

"Reliable partners in ticket management"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The stability of the service. Effortless management of conversations with users, the abundance of automation and filter settings. Easy approach to the support and customer success teams. Availability of bots and AI features.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Internal analytics are pretty poor; some questions can be answered only using external services such as Power BI. Spam filters for email issues do not work as well as they could. If you work with the platform long enough, it's easy to get lost in all the automations and bots and filters and other settings.

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

Out-of-the-box support for multiple channels and apps. It helps us handle conversations with users from different platforms in one place and solve questions with FAQs before they are even asked.

"Great CS platform"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift is a very good tool for customer service requests for mobile apps. It is very easy to offer a fast customer support. Automations, FAQs and templates help you to deal with a lot of requests in your day-to-day business. Data and analytics in PowerBI are great too.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The handling of requests that come directly via web form or e-mail could be a bit better, mobile is clearly the focus here, but in general they continuously improve their product. We have been using Helpshift for a number of years and improvements have been introduced all the time.

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

It's the best way to provide customer service to mobile app users.

"Effective and user friendly"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

We can help out customers quickly via helpshift and address their concerns accurately.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I dislike that our clients often choose the wrong department to speak with, it would help if we can add suggestions per department so that chats are not filtered to the wrong department. The automated greetings are also a tad annoying, as we have heard from clients.

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

A lot of problems, whether it be system related, internal issues, or just basic questions on how to use our system. Using helpshift has helped MPCS to effectively help our clients in an accurate and timely manner as opposed to phone calls or emails.
