"Good interface and user friendly"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The best part about freschat is it's smooth navigation to different tabs/topics. We can customise the options or KRA we need on our own and the way we want. They give a details report on each metrics or fuctions and with charts and bargraph which is easy to understand.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The only backlog fresh chat ha currently and which don't like is it's report system. You will not get the reports in one file instead we will get those in multiple files. However, this also depends on volumes.

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

It has good analytical reports to deep dive in different aspects of opportunity areas. It gives clear bifurcation for agent and bot performance. Customised flow can be set and easy navigation for us and our customers too

"Ideal for for Business Communication"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat provides chat support for businesses and the feature I like most is WhatsApp Business Integration & E-Mail Notifications to customers once they come offline. I've been using Freshchat for the last 3 years and most of the essential features are free of cost. We have paid for Slack Integration and E-Mail Notifications when a customer comes offline.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Mobile App needs to be improved, we cannot see a user online on the mobile app whereas we can get online users on Web Portal. A Feature suggestion : With AI embedded quick responses suggestions should be there while writing responses to our customers this with help businesses a lot.

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

It enables WhatsApp Business Integration which is useful and customer insights are available in Freshchat dashboard with searchable customer chat history helps us manage customer conversation efficiently.

"Post Sales and Customer Support Re-Imagined 🚀"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It's so much Flexible. Unlike most CRM platforms, you can jump straight into a consultation session (Google Meet and I think, Zoom) to avoid the back and forth on chat. The configurations and set up is also very smooth.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Nothing. We use it to drive customer retention and usage at Borderless HQ. I hate nothing about it.

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

A streamlined platform for all things customer engagement. We’re able to drive customer satisfaction and offer support and open end consultations to end users with FreshChat. A one in all tool for customer relationship management across a company’s user touch points. It's amazing!

"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.

What do you like best about Freshchat?

It's awesome as we can serve our clients from anywhere. We can use pre-written replies (Canned responses ) for frequent live chat queries. All Convseration done with client's are saved as ticket. Another fetarue is that, we can add the client contact details on Freshchat portal and If an offline chat ( Non- business day) is received, in that case, we can create a Ticket and revert by email also. We are using Freshchat portal more than 6 years and Truely fully managed Live Chat portal and we LOVE our live chat features and our client's also love.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Sometime stuck but it's normally observed when poor internet connection.

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

As Freshchat integration with our website hence, our client's are eailsy connecting us through chat box for queries resolution. And Freshchat provide the live chat option and we can quickly reply to them in the same window.

"Great features and easy tool"

Based on my time using the Freshchat platform, I’d say this tool is a relatively straightforward and convenient solution for customer service. It combines live chat functionality with AI bot support and self-service solutions so that you can deliver scalable, omnichannel support to clients. The unified agent workspace is brimming with tools to engage your team and empower them to deliver more personalized experiences.

"Freshchat Omnichannel experience"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It has an easy to use interface. Their integrations with ChatGPT align with current trends and have a reliable and interactive Reporting and Analytics tool. Their customer support is exceptional and prompt in responding.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

They can improve their notifications system. Some key notifications don't show up in inbox window. Their mobile App needs improvements in pulling in data from Instagram. IG posts and stories don't show up in incoming chats on the App which makes it difficult to respond.

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

It has combined all our customer communication channels, streamlining the overall process. It has made contact list maintenance easier and increased our productivity in general

"Overall Experience with Freshchat."
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It is good, fast, and smooth which meets the criteria of giving the solutions to issues of the customers via different channels connected within the organisation.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Freshchat doesn't have an auto-solving mechanism like when we are handling particular customers at that time executives are busy solving the queries of the existing customers on live chat. Still, those customers who are in the queue should not be unheard of for there issues so the fresh chat should slowly start solving the customer's issue at least in the initial stage so the customer will feel engaged. It will hold retain the customers in the particular business rather than giving bad reviews of products and customer service.

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

Freshchat is a medium for communicating with customers.I use it to solve the queries of the Doctors and Business Development Executives via chats and it is helpful as it is smooth, fast, and reliable for my work.

"Super easy and i personally love Freshchat"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The canned messages helps out a lot and also DVA. I think having all the messsages saved also makes it easier to figure out what needs to be done and how to personalize the can to fit the situation at hand.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The only downfall would be trying to get the cans personalized with the correct information pertaining to the CMs account before it tells you to resolve the chat.

"Great product for customer support"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The ability to customize the chat, being able to provide some information about the agent to the customer as well typing indicators, being able to add attachments, etc.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Unable to customize the chat window for multi-organizations. Since we're managing multiple organizations, we are unable to customize each organization's chat window and it would be great feature to be added with future releases.

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

Freshdesk is making it easier for our live-chat agents to talk with customers across the different organizations we manage, all into a single place, seamlessly and without any struggle. Plus the canned responses really help a lot.

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

It solves issues such as record keeping and that benefits us because we are able to go back and assist a customer who came in a while ago and needs feedback on a query.

"Very good product for management insights!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The most helpful for me is the analytics panel to monitor our team's performance. The second thing I like the most is the customer support. The most recent CS interaction was to help set up our chat bot-- they spent two sessions despite us being a smaller account.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

We've been using Freshchat for years, and we love the product. However, I wish they would've been more persistent to upgrade us to the newer plan... we were on the legacy plan for 2 years before we realised which made us lose out on some helpful new features.

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

Freshchat helps us solve all of our support necessisties. Aside from the whole recent Twitter debacle with 3rd party APIs, it's been a great omnichannel communincation platform.

What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat is used in many organizations where I have worked, and it is a really efficient way to use the feature because it is convenient, simple to use, and highly helpful.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Such problems don't exist in my opinion, and it really does reduce the amount of effort. In that situation, the Intelliassign is the best alternative because it is the best option in terms of work, as I will discuss below.

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

Yes, it is one of the best option one organization could have, I personally prefer the Intelli Assign the best option, in my organization we used to sufer to reach out FRT but as per using the IntelliAssign is my personal favorite.
