"Feature rich and affordable"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat is feature-rich and I can't think of a scenario that can't be accomplished. As I use Freshdesk as a help desk system I like the integration of both systems. Furthermore, I like the web console which is easy to use and comes in a fresh design. Last but not least the support is great and very responsive.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I've compared a few chat systems and Freshchat suits my needs best for an affordable price. I don't really have things I don't like with Freshchat. The one thing I can complain about is that real multi-language support is only available with the highest subscription. This is not really helpful for one-man startups like me.

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

I use Freshchat to get in touch with visitors on my website and help them choose the right subscription for my services.

"Great tool!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

We wanted to add another communication platform to our business, besides phone support and email support and we stumbled upon Freshchat. We already noticed this before as we are a current user of Freshdesk. We requested a demo and they quickly showed us how Freshchat works. We had a lot of questions, but they were able to answer all. The tool is user-friendly too. Great design too - it is simple, clean and can easily be seen by customers. With of without a Freshdesk account, you can definitely use Freshchat on its own.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I can't think of anything as of the the moment. We like what we have seen during the demo.

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

Great for customer experience, especially if they wanted to talk to someone asap.

It's hard to find something I don't like, Freshchat is just great.

Freshchat is the perfect way to communicate with our prospects in real time. Personalized interaction helps us respond to the unique needs of users and discover potential customers. Integrations with third-party products increase productivity.

"A fresh perspective to in-app chat support"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Easy of use, cost per license, easy integration with other Freshworks apps, Simple to implement In-App Chat SDK

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The multi-language feature should be part of the other low-cost plans too. For startups in Europe, it becomes extremely important to be able to provide support in different languages.

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

Better & quick support to our customers, across channels.

"New & updated"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

FreshWorks has just upgraded and combined FreshConnect across all platforms. The best part is that I only made the suggestion 1 day ago & they published it almost immediately.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

At first, it was completely separated by service; however, they have since combined it. Some of the icons are a little small to see; however, does not hamper the functionality.

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

Looking to simplify interoffice communication all within 1 system as some of our staff aren't quite as technologically inclined.

"Best Software which connects the internal team!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Everything I like about freshconnect is the best part of this software and it is that dashboard which helps show up the conversation and helps team members to discuss on one point and come up with good positive fruitful decisions.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Nothing is there to dislike about this. This freshconnect is awesome!

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

Here at my company me and my team uses this to to great kind of discussions and avoid non-useful meetings. It saves our time and also makes the best out of our discussions. Freshconnect gives us a benefit to get connected internally.

"Finally the website support integration we were searching for!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The Freshchat support team. Hands down. They have worked for two+ weeks to help me with a situation that has been a major thorn in our side. I'm wholeheartedly thankful for the two individuals I have been working with over the past weeks. On top of that, the integration with our website went seamlessly and we were up within minutes once we had the chance to add the code. In just under an hour, we had a chat system added to our site, custom trigger messages, and a system that matched the theme and colors of our website. We are constantly on the go or busy with business tasks that require us to be away from the computer. With the FreshChat app, we can now respond to any questions while we are away. This was one of the biggest selling points for us. It's an added bonus that the system looks amazing. It's the clean and fresh style that you want in 2019 and beyond. We tried many free plugins for our website, but they all looked disgusting.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

The comments below that are hating on FreshChat. haha kidding. But really, I have no complaints at the moment. I'm still amazed by the support that I have received from FreshChat and the individuals I have been working with. I have never worked with a crew like this that actually cared. They are right up there with the awesome support teams like WooCommerce, Amazon, and Stripe.

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

We are solving the problem of being tied to a computer-based support system that needs to be attended to daily. Using the FreshChat app, our chains are broken. I have also learned from the support team that I was working with that triggered messages are a great way to increase sales by being proactive. I have not really messed around with this yet, but my next task is to figure out the best way to use this feature. As a small startup, a huge factor for us is free cash flow, and with the fairly priced plan we have, this worry is gone.

"awesome service - highly recommend"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

range of products offered by freshworks platform is what caught my initial interest - everything we need to handle leads, customer engagement, support. I especially like the al-a-carte but it all plays nicely together - pretty intuitive and easy to get setup and going. The phone app is great when I'm mobile and need to engage.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

only issue I'd say is the delay in response to support questions. Team is super friendly and helpful, but I see there is time zone delay. Not end of the world but would be nice to have support closer to my time zone but prefer to have the product affordable like it is so willing to wait for answers to questions. Self-support site is good.

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

simply engagement with prospective customers and actual customers. Freshworks products have a very clean professional looking face to customers and the workflows are sensible/logical.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

No complaints there. I would have loved to add FAQ for the basic plan into the chat window.

Chatting with customers directly from within the app interface is a great way to understand and attend to customers' feedback, appending a chat response to being a ticket is a nice addition.

"Great way to connect with customers"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat enables me to instantly connect with my customers, quickly and easily, like I was the sales person in a store. I can see what the customer is looking at on my website and respond instantly. The customer seems to gain more trust by this instant connection and I have found I can turn most connections into sales.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I have not found anything on Freshchat that I am unhappy with.

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

Freshchat solves the problem of the 'half-decided' customer, the customer that cannot be bothered to actually write to you or phone you directly. The initial prompt enables them to make a comment or ask a question without them feeling you are being intrusive. I have found that many conversations with my customers are quite long and the customer proceeds to make a purchase.

The fact that is connected to Freshdesk, and that I can create tickets right from there. The chat channels are also very innovative. They can really make the process of working on a team easier and make it less confusing and frustrating.

Honestly nothing. It's a great system. Maybe the pricing plans can be consolidated a bit more.
