"Very easy to use!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

It's very easy to use. We have never used Freshchat before so for a first-timer, I would say this is very user-friendly. You don't need the guidance of an expert. You can easily access the tool and make some changes. Their customer service agents are very helpful, friendly and knowledgable as well. They always make sure that you get all the assistance you need before ending the chat.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

You can't delete the chat conversations. You can resolve them but they stay in one folder. It would be best if there is an option to delete the conversations.

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

It is easier to communicate with our customers since everything is being done live. Also, the auto-response is very helpful especially during our busy hours or outside business hours.

"Integration is very helpful!"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Integration between FreshDesk and FreshChat has been very helpful for our team! It has been easy to learn, and it's been a fun experience for us to use as well.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

How automatic the responses are. I've found when going between multiple chats, I'll send a reply to one that i meant to send to someone else. Having a 1-2 second period where you can "Undo" like in FreshDesk would be SOOOOOO helpful!!

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

Just how quickly we can communicate with our clients instead of going back and forth through email.

"Better workflow with a continuous messaging system"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

I love having found a tool as fabulous as Freshchat, which with excellent CRM tools, as well as continuous messaging that allows us to capture exactly the potential clients to be much more precise in the people who will really stay. Bots are really the right tool to perform various functions in a much more automated way, it allow I to qualify potential customers, take question tickets and in this way distribute all the work equitably among the sales consultants. It helps us in our organizational capacities through time lines and it even has other much more powerful tools for searching data and collecting information.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Another of its strengths is to be able to enhance remote work, in this current situation it is essential and a plus for my work. Collaboration tools make work management much more comfortable, since it is much easier to manage the workload and distribute it among each work colleague.

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

Without a doubt, Freshchat is the software that represents exactly what we do, it provides us with the right and adequate tools to manage my CRM system, to maintain greater control over potential and fixed customers, in addition to being able to assist them, attend to their requests and concerns as well, how to cover various campaign shipments to enhance sales campaigning capabilities. It is possible to cover much more work since its functions allow us to go beyond automation and bots that help us to be more agile in what we do.

Nothing. It works well and all the time. It is all you need for the customer service part of your business.

"Help@westriveapp.com Review"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat is great! It's incredibly easy to use and allows us to run our chat windows from the mobile/web. The pop-up FAQ's are 10/10.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I think the notifications could be a little better on the app. I always seem to miss it when somebody emails us. I think the chatbot could use a little work too. We're going to start using it later by adding more questions, but I still think it could use some work.

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

I'm solving our quick-chat problem from our WeStrive website. Without this, our users would have to just email us.
