"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.

The free version doesn't let you connect to your helpdesk. You would need to duplicate your articles in the Freshdesk and in Freshchat.

"Count on the best software when it comes to comunicate with your customers"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It's so useful for me as an agent cause I can solve the issues that face my customers and make it easier and more beneficial for them to be satisfied with the service I provide.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Sometimes in rush hours, as I have to solve all kinds of cases, I deal with so many chats at the same time, and it gets stacked on the queue, which appears to the customer that we are intentionally avoiding them, but it's not a big deal as we handle them.

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

All kinds of problems, I really mean it cause customer can contact with us so quickly and that exposing the main issues that face our clients which help us improve our way of service.

"Best Chat support out there"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The chat is amazingly simple to integrate with your application. I also loved the customization feature to match users' branding guidelines. Also features like bot, campaign, topics, faqs, etc are too good.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The only downside I notice is that there are no tutorials available for most of the features. I had to contact support for Demo which took quite a long. I suggest a separate tutorial on every feature like bots, campaign, setup, etc.

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

We use Freshdesk message to give support ability to our platform via chat. We also use it to inform our visitors about new deals, features,etc via campaign feature
