"Adequate support portal for mobile gaming"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The organizational process is relatively easy once you learn the work flow. Shortcuts like Quick Replies and accessing FAQ entries (both published and unpublished) expedite time spent on support. The Analytics section covers all the baseline info I like to see and more.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Too many SDK updates. I dislike having to beg engineering for devoted time to updating SDKs. FAQ is limited in depth. I would like to see more than just Section > Question & Answer. Example: Section > SubSection > Question & Answer.

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

Fast response times. Easy management across team members. Ability to insert images to the FAQ has helped with providing updates to player base by focusing player attention to FAQ.

"A lot of potential"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Solves a lot of challenges with supporting mobile apps in one package.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Expensive and very obviously designed to make basic operations cumbersome and not iser friendly, pushing you to higher plans (double the price). The sales process is not very transparent in this sense, ie explaining that the most basic of operations is a lot more of a hassle than comparable tools.

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

A smooth mobile support solution for customers with way less implementation effort than ZenDesk.

"Overall, A Great Customer Service Tool"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like that HelpShift is easy to use. It does not take long to get used to the process of answering and closing chats. I also find the search feature very helpful, it makes it easier to locate a certain chat with only a few keywords.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I dislike that we do not have the option to delete/unsend chats that have been sent. I also dislike that there is no notification to indicate that a customer has returned back to a chat, which makes them end up waiting for quite some time before they get a response.

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

Helpshift allows us to be in contact with our clients. The benefit of Helpshift is being able to see the metadata of the device a customer is using because it helps with diagnosing an technical issues. A lot of or clients have issues with remembering their information to log into their account. So the option for them to do a live chat with one of our agents is essential in providing a quick response/solution to their problem.

"Integrated function & Easy to use"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Being able to analyze data with Power BI which helps us to understand players even more.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Same as above. I like the fact that there is data for us to understand more about our users. However, Power BI is the most user friendly data analysis tool. Sometimes there are error occur, and sometimes you don’t get the detailed data you want.

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

Helpshift helps to answer player more efficiently.

"Analytics and Data of Customers"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Easy to use and understand. Their analytic page is self explinatory and doesn't require deep knowledge to learn and hence makes it easier to set our own processes in place and target to acheive

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Haven't found any yet, but will let you know If I do.

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

Currently working on Implementing Bots and Autoamtion services for our platform which will help resolve customer queries and in turn give the team more time to focus on critical work and gain better insights on customer behavior while interacting with Insider.in

"Helpshift is Cool!"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift is great when it comes to operating with various products (apps). The email merging feature is great, it really helped with tidying up the queues. Arranging tickets by tags is very easy and simple, therefore it really helps when we are investigating a sudden game glitch or bug.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Filtering feature could be a bit more 'clear' in operating. Also, the analytics are not so accrued, alway need to help with PowerBi. Formating the FAQs is sometimes an issue, for example, sometimes it will not let you to copy-paste text from Google Docs. Quick Replies (canned responses) are all in one place, sure you can arrange them in their own folders but you cannot attach them to one particular app, so in conclusion, Agents need to be careful while using this feature.

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

In general, we do player services. so mostly it is a day-to-day contact with the players. Benefits? The live chat is pretty useful in resolving issues really quick. Also, the campaign feature is something which we benefit a lot of, we are always in touch with our top players and with the whole community (depending on the app).

"Great service to engage with your customers "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I really like that this is another avenue we can engage with our customers. Allowing our customers to reach us outside the standard social media options and all within one app. It also allows us to catch on to trends faster.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I would like to see more reporting for my own goal setting purposes.

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

We are seeing trends appear sooner than we would in other channels. This will allow us to pinpoint what devices are impacting.

"A solid customer care integration tool"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift is easy to use and automation plus queues allows for an easy flow and segmentation of our customers. The analytics through PowerBI are excellent and allow for a good breadth of information regarding the health of our Customer Care group agents and processes.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The current focus on bots has taken away some of the focus on amenities that could assist live agents in an impactful way. I would prefer a better interface for the live chat option.

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

An integrated SDK was key to keeping customers in our app. Tickets directly from the apps allow us to attach a great deal of important information along with the ticket so the agents do not need to take an extra outbound contact in asking for it.

"Easy to use - analytics could be better "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The best thing about using helpshift is how easy it is to manage multiple chats. We have cut down our cost per contact by 48% since we implemented this tool.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I don't like how the integration with ServiceCloud is basically non-existent. For a person who has team members who work across multiple channels of communication, it's tough pulling data from multiple different places.

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

We solved our cost per contact issue. We solved our ASA issues. This tool is extremely beneficial.

"The best suite we've used."
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift enables us to easily keep up with our users' queries, and the ability to curate a suite of FAQ responses increases our response times dramatically.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Helpshift doesn't allow you to suspend/ban problematic SKD users. You're also not able to merge issues together. These are the only downsides to the suite.

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

Being able to quickly input pre-written macro responses has been the greatest benefit so far.

"Satisfied"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The ability to be able to freely manage incoming tickets. This, compared with other products, gives you a lot more freedom in this case.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The lack of a 'PLAY' button that would automatically assign a ticket to an agent

Player complaints and suggestions about the game we're supporting. Ticket actions are easily done using Helpshift compared with other products. It is also linked to Power BI, which helps a ton in doing reports as well as analyzing data which helps the company progress further in the right direction.
