"Helpshift "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Simple organization of queues to manage customer interactions. Can add internal notes to communicate with other internal users remotely and without having to change platforms. I like the ability to open a ticket for a customer on their behave by inputting their information when creating the ticket.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

The format for searching can show way too many irrelevant results when not using the given format. Ex: from email: is: [email protected] vs. simply searching [email protected] I also don't particularly like that tickets auto-close after a couple of days.

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

Customer inquiries for online listings, refund/return issues. All previous issues are archived so there is a way to reference/compare previous issues with the same customer to better understand and resolve their issues.

Although easy to respond to and easy to send an initial message, it does not receive 100% feedback, but that would be expected from any service.

"Helpshift"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like that there is a lot of really powerful data in Helpshift

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I find Helpshift, especially Power BI to be unintuitive at times and hard. Sometimes, I wish the data was available in tables and I can just use SQL and Periscope to visualize it. The refresh time can sometimes be quite long a well and sometimes, the dashboards fail to stay up to date even after I have refreshed it.

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

I'm trying to determine agent performance and whether or not we're meeting our target SLAs using Helpshift and Power BI. The data is great but I have to export it into Excel and manipulate it from there.
