"Not as good as Zendesk "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

In-app implementation is alright. There is nothing special about Helpshift

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Can’t merge tickets, no standalone mobile app, can’t selectively suppress satisfaction survey, hate reject function, not enough placeholders in macros, bad ui

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

It’s a basic ticketing system for us. Subpar compared to Zendesk and Freshdesk

"Brings a lot to the table"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

There's a lot of things helpshift brings to the table for the amount of work needed to integrate the library. You just need to call a few APIs and once the helpshift overlay comes up, helpshift takes over and does the rest.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The custom config options for iOS and Android are a little different and can be confusing if you're familiar with one while learning to do the other. Using a custom engine that does not use the android/ios native app building APIs adds a level of complexity

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

Users will be able to give feedback much more easily without having to leave the app for a more fluid experience

"Neutral User"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I love how easy it is to navigate with the ticketing system. There’s no clutter and user friendly

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

That 80% of the time HS is slow. When you are working it would suddenly lag and need to reload the page everytime.

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

I haven’t reached out to Helpshift, not at the moment. But if ever I will, I would probably suggest to have the option to mark any public reply as private, because you never when you’ll be needing this feature. For privacy or security purposes. But so far, I’m okay with the interface. I feel like there are lots of improvement and what we are currently using is quite satisfatory.

"Unreliable data that cannot provide the information we need"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

FAQ integration, ease of editing Automation, such as tagging and auto-responses

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The quality of the data cannot be relied upon and often changes. We need a simple view of how many tickets each agent answered and when (hourly), that cannot be manipulated if the ticket is re-opened, closed by another agent or changes statuses. Not enough search options. We need to be able to track issues chronologically. Currently, if we search for a certain tag on a specific creation date, the issues are displayed by the most recent status change No Social Media functionality

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

We are responding to more users, more quickly

"Pleasing on the eye, but lack of functionality"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The interface is very pleasing in the eye

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

It keeps on getting disconnected if I left the computer for 3 minutes and have to refresh everything all over again. Plus, I can't download or tickets by agents in an effective way. Too many 'animations' that slow down workdone.

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

The migration is done due to a business decision. But to be honest, I love Zendesk very very much. Clean, straight to the point and fast.

"Difficult tool to learn and operationalize"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

It is nice to be able to create automated bots as well as route to employees.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The process for setting up bots is convoluted and requires lots of tedious work along the workflow whenever a bot needs to be edited.

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

We were trying to use the automated bots to reduce the workload of our customer service agents by having the bot handle routine questions.

"Ops Manager"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Best: Bot capability, Async ability, fairly easy agility in terms of queue building and app implementation

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Worst: Reporting is terrible. How do you run productivity on just resolution? I need to see every email "sent." If all I see is 8 solved emails, but then manually go in and see that there were 45 actual messages sent, that 8 solved means nothing. Fix the reporting and labeling. Need to be more agile.

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

It was an email solution for us but unfortunately, compounded a lot of our issues due to not being able to understand the true size of our queue due to lack of real customer service metrics--very basic CS 101 metrics.

"O HelpShift é incrível!"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift é uma plataforma maravilhosa para atender os clientes da minha empresa, a utilizo diariamente para prestar um atendimento incrível e, assim, para o cliente sair satisfeito. É muito intuitivo e de fácil utilização, além dos recursos serem muito completos.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Sei que todos os produtos estão sujeitos à instabilidades, como eu utilizo o Helpshift todos os dias, acredito que consigo perceber mais. Em alguns momentos, a plataforma trava, envia mensagens duplicadas para o cliente e até a redistrivuição dos chats param de acontecer de forma automática. Porém, isso não afeta o produto final.

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

O Helpshift me beneficia diariamente, já que é através dele que consigo prestar um atendimento eficiente ao cliente. Ademais, é uma plataforma incrível que nos permite organizar e separar os atendimentos por temas.
