Sometimes when I search for a person it doesn't show up even though I know they're in there

"Help Scout is a game-changer"
What do you like best about Help Scout?

Help Scout allows you to combine your email and chat inboxes within one tool. This has been an incredible asset for our team streamlining our processes and allowing us to gain a lot of data and insights from Help Scout's robust reporting tools.

What do you dislike about Help Scout?

The Docs or Support Site function of Help Scout is limited in how it displays search results. I wish that there was more of an Advanced Search Feature or a preview of the page results or the section of the page that contains the phrase or term that you're searching for.

What problems is Help Scout solving and how is that benefiting you?

Help Scout helps us assist our customers faster and collaborate as a team, while simultaneously educating them through the in-chat support document tools. It also gives us granular-level insight into our team metrics and measure our performance with extreme detail.

"Down to earth product that works"
What do you like best about Help Scout?

Helpscout was easy to setup. And to maintain the system. And as a result my customers are helped much better. Also, they are very clear in there communication. Once, they announced a change in the system. They helped me on every aspect to implement this change and to make sure everything was setup correctly. Awesome support.

What do you dislike about Help Scout?

Helpscout is not the most extensive product. It feels like some reports are limited in the drilldown capacities. Also being "online" in the chat window is necessary to allow customers to "chat". While I am always available, I do not have the site always open. So our chat is not as much offline as it was.

What problems is Help Scout solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helpscout is our ticketing system to provide initial communication with new customers and ongoing support with existing customers. Both via e-mail and in-app using the widgets. The biggest benefits are better customer conversations, faster answers, and an extensive help database.
