"Amazing solution for customer service"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Freshchat is very straightforward. The chat Ui is amazing and what I would call "sophisticated", with a nice aesthetic that is appealing to the eye. That being said, the chat bot works amazingly with all the customers and it answers all the basic questions, and if that's not enough, it refers the customers to one of our agents so they can speak to a real human, and I find that very helpful because it's easier to organize our tickets and reports. Freshchat offers a quantity of features that work well and expand our communication experience, by implementing video and image sharing into the chat, as well as being able to share URL links. I think that small features like those are mostly missing all the time in any other software, but Freshchat makes sure to give it all to make the best out of something as simple as communicating.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Overall, Freshchat works great. I haven't found any problems while using it and the bot works at all times. But the customer support is not the most responsive.

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

Being able to create a live chat that can answer all of our customers' doubts while not wasting a great amount of money is the big benefit of Freshchat. It's intuitive, clean and didn't take much training and time for us to set up and start using. For my work, it's benefitial that I have this tool, because it's easier for me to keep track of reports, and that way solve all issues regarding customer service in a more organized way.

"This business live chat app will help you meet and respond to all your customers needs."
What do you like best about Freshchat?

What I like about the program is its focus on helping sales teams talk to potential customers by offering a messaging experience with a variety of features making it a solid option to consider. Among the features that this has the ability to create campaigns, intelligent message routing, creation of bots that allow offer a much faster and automated service to all your customers without the need to have a specialized person to respond to each incoming request. It has an incredible way to organize conversations with your clients by sipping them by topic, agent, among other options.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

Honestly, there are not many bad things to say about this software, as all the features are really solid and practical delivering everything you need in one place. There are few things to point out, although you have personal online training as well as a good documentation, it does not have a forum to help you answer frequent doubts that customers have had in the past, the integrations for iOS and Android mobile devices work smoothly, something very disappointing at a certain point since its versions on Windows and Mac work great.

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

The main help that this tool has offered to the company in which I work is that it teach us to communicate with our customers, opening different communication channels that allows us to reach customers in real time and in a much more effective way offering features such as integrations with freshwork applications, live chat, bot for 24/7 attention, thus increasing our productivity as a company without ever lowering our efficiency while giving a quality service to each of the customers.

"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.

I wish you could have a bit more data in the team performance report. Like have a agents ratings in there.Our ratings don't always seem to display after a chat though.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"Great chat service"

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.

The profile pictures are stretched when uploaded.

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

Freshchat allows me to be more offensive, and more close to the customers than my competitors. Most furniture wholesale businesses do not provide live chat abilities.

What do you like best about Freshchat?

Really easy to setup and get going. Support from the FreshChat team is excellent - rapid and responsive.

I think that the small icon in the bottom corner could sometimes be missed. The ability to make this more prominent or add some text to it would be good.

We are in the process of launching a new global online platform and with FreshChat, we are able to allow our customers all around the world to contact our support team directly, even when the team are offline.
