"support has room for improvement"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

its cheap, has some versatility to integrate etc

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

support provided by the technical team, information on the knowledge base is not updated, and sometimes leads to a dead link. I am left stranded with no way to fix the issue on my own and need to spend a lot of time trying to figure this out with the tech support.

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

yet to leverage on this at the moment, cant comment.

"Still getting used to it. Not real user friendly"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The shortcuts that allow me to send full messages without typing them

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

If I switch off of it and go to another tab, it doesn't let me know if a user has responded. I'll come back and see that the person has been waiting on me, Also, I'd like for the other tickets to close once they've left the chat. Sometime's it may look like there are 20 chats open when in reality, there are none.

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

Customer support. Same thing we did with the other system we used. Im just a user and not the admin, so a lot of these questions, I just do not know the answer to. sorry

"Freshconnect an chat for contextual discussion between your CRM and Helpdesk"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshconnect is a Chat and communications app designed to support other freshworks apps, like freshsales and freshdesk. Best for me is the fact that it integrates inside your freshworks domain and provides contextual communications between the apps. It has a very clean and uncluttered interface to work with, which allow a very easy process of implementation with the end user and a very short learning curve.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I believe that contextual is not limited...or at least should not be. It happens to freshconnect that limitations render the software a less appealing offer against others in the market. Few editing tools, for my particular taste, it lacks the feature of editing or deleting comments, and it doesn't have to many options in the setting side to personalize it.

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

We arent using the app too much...so it is not solving any problem as of today.

"End user experience is good, features are good, support is ok, reports are lacking, billing is awful"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The end-user experience is very smooth and streamlined. Support is responsive most of the time.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

There is no continuity of reporting between Freshchat and Freshdesk. The reporting platform is entirely different, with the chat version being substantially inferior. Customer service and billing are horrid. Delays in getting issues resolved, no escalation path available, they don't seem to care.

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

Allow customers to interact with us using the method of their preference. Better customer satisfaction.

"Worst Chat Service used ever"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Setting it up is relatively easy but that is all.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

They charge on the credit card that is on file for services never used and they do NOT return the money as their support promised within 5 business days. In our case, 10 days have gone by and still, we have not received the refund.

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

No benefits at all
