What do you like best about Helpshift?

The organization of the categories. It's also very easy to find your "open issues"

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

People can take your case from you. Sort of frustrates people because you've had a way to assist the guest & it's done the complete opposite.

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

Less pain points, convenient way for guest to be assisted, and great sorting system of issues. All responses are received via phone, so very helpful!

"Straightforward and simple"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift allows cross platform views for users and can be tailored depending on business need. It can be used on multiple operating system environments and browsers. I like the overall interface and integration. The ability to look up teams and groups, as well as narrow down searches. It would be nice to see sections in "tabs" so that information is more organized in terms of groups. I also suggest ability to change themes. The ease of use is acutally something that we all like. Even if you have not gone through the full training on its use, by its intuitiveness, you would quickly get familiar with it. has the ability to collect metadata with each Helpshift ticket. The metadata for Outlook.com will include information about platform, browser, and Additional information is available about settings and other features on the web client. The metadata will also include a list of self-help article(s) that the customer clicked to view prior to submitting the ticket. The ability to segregate into queues is also quite helpful.CSS agents should tag each ticket worked with the appropriate tag used to resolve or escalate the ticket. Tags should also be used to categorize the type of issue reported.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Just the aesthetic of it. Overall, the interface is quite user friendly. the way that information is arranged may need to be looked into. There are reporting that can be filtered better . Analytics gives too broad of a view.

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

Trouble ticket management. Email related issues reported in by end users.

"A fresh experience from someone who works in the BPO industry. "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Personalizing your queue and having the option to view all of your work is a really good feature. This is the feature I like best.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Latencies cannot be avoided. Sometimes the help shift loads for a minute or two and sometimes it instantly loads.

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

Game related concerns from the customers. Inquiries regarding the game and some billing concerns. There is no need to open a 3rd party program or VPN to use the tool. You can open the tool on your browser.

"Review of Helpshift Experience from QA"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Customization and ease of access. Communication and note taking for different tickets. The SDK is very intuitive and users seem to have ease when it comes to finding out what they are searching for in FAQs. There are some quirks with sending and receiving messages that should be worked out though. I enjoy the ability to reference tickets easily and the analysis tools.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Security and user privacy protection needs to be beefed up because users personal information is being transmitted through Helpshift. I'd like to see more use of security measures and more privacy settings to hide users' data. Pricing structures seem to dramatically change based on MAUs. More discount would be nice for long-standing customers. More communication with customers around new features and trainings should be offered.

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

We have a direct means of communicating with users. We gain valuable feedback and have realized many benefits in terms of issue redemiation.

What do you like best about Helpshift?

I love the capability of being able to do very specific searches. I also love the ease in emailing customers, seeing previous responses even if it is from a different support representative.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I wish there was a way to download certain tickets/email addresses. Its not super clean right now. When you download it just puts them in a doc. It would be nice to download say all the customers who canceled their subscription through helpshift and have them load into a doc somehow with the conversation link as well.

"Helpshift "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I really like how easy it is to maneuver and find my way around Helpshift. It's not only easy to use but it's also easy to explain, teach and train. When I was a new user, I was very quickly able to work my way around. I especially like the feature to check all of our statistics and see how we are doing as a company whole, even though I am but a small part of that company, I love to see that my work is helping the company.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

It can be a bit hard to get the hang of it at first. For someone who's looking for an easy way to do support for a small startup, this would probably not work at first.

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

We are solving problems in our Live Chat area. We are realizing how great the lightning text is to our efforts. We are also able to see what areas need improvement by seeing the statistics of our customer experiences with our live chat customers.
