"The best and fastest way to communicate with customers"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

I really appreciate the canned response feature of freshchat. It helps to communicate with customers faster and much effective. It keeps a history of chats thus able to check later on.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

A timely update is necessary as the platforms like WhatsApp and all brings new new features in it for chats. Else communication with customers won't be that effective. I found that 90 percentage of customer support also can be done job st using the freshchat. Only in some rare cases a call becomes an urgent need.

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

Customer queries are addressed through freshchat faster. As it is effective in communicating with multiple customers at the same time it helps save time.

"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.
