"Helpful Helpshift"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like that I am able to communicate with clients and If I need to review past conversations I have access to them.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I don't like when you close a chat with a client, they can come back with another question but there is no notification that the client came back to the chat.

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

I haven't experienced any problems. As far as benefits go, i see that it is a lot easier to help clients. If they start a chat about one issue and have another question about a different topic I can easily have another team member jump into the chat to help the client. It helps cut down on wait time and allows clients to get the help they need a lot faster.

"A beneficial business tool!"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The aspect I enjoy the most about Helpshift is its convenience to use. Notifications are clear and concise, and the notes fields are helpful to keep track of past issues.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

It would be nice if we did not have to use an external program to receive desktop notifications.

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

The problems addressed are mainly for website issues and duplicate entries within our database. It's kept an easier line of communication with the clients rather than writing out an email.

"Effective and user friendly"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

We can help out customers quickly via helpshift and address their concerns accurately.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I dislike that our clients often choose the wrong department to speak with, it would help if we can add suggestions per department so that chats are not filtered to the wrong department. The automated greetings are also a tad annoying, as we have heard from clients.

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

A lot of problems, whether it be system related, internal issues, or just basic questions on how to use our system. Using helpshift has helped MPCS to effectively help our clients in an accurate and timely manner as opposed to phone calls or emails.

"Experiencia Helpshift "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

La forma rápida y dinámica que tenemos para interactuar con nuestros usuarios, nos permite dar soluciones en tiempo real , brindando una mejor experiencia al cliente con nuestra atención de primera línea . Hemos descubierto que con esta plataforma de atención optimizamos nuestros indicadores de productividad y logramos controlar el desborde de atenciones no efectuadas por cantidades de clientes . Otros de los aspectos que es un plus+ en nuestras atenciones es la facilidad de poder enviar documentos y así mismo recibir archivos adjuntos , esto nos facilita poder determinar que problemas o que consulta esta haciendo el cliente. Su facilidad de uso nos ha ahorrado importantes recursos como el tiempo, lo que nos permite capacitar a nuevos empleados sobre cómo usar Helpshift fácilmente en cuestión de horas en comparación con días o semanas; que es el caso con la mayoría de los otros programas que usamos. Muy importante también, me encanta la calidad de la asistencia ofrecida a mi equipo por el servicio de atención al cliente de Helpshift.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Hemos podido experimentar que al realizar un cambio de horario en nuestros usuarios de atención , no se cumple el ciclo de atención de chat , por lo tanto nos ha llevado a crear diferentes horarios para cada usuario.No muy bueno en plataformas móviles, su interfaz de usuario y parte del diseño de la experiencia del usuario pueden tener algunos, por ejemplo, algunos fallos interesantes. Sin embargo, ninguno de estos problemas afecta la seguridad.

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

Simplifica el tiempo de nuestras atenciones de cara a nuestros usuarios, respuestas y soluciones rápidas.

"Easy to use and customisable"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

It's very easy to use and quite intuitive. There are many customisation options that have helped me become more efficient. Bulk actions and the ability to setup search shortcuts have made my life so much easier!

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Sometimes I wish there was a mobile app or for the platform to be mobile friendly, but that can also be a good thing. My company likes that we don't have a mobile app because it mens there's less chance that we'll work too much. Yes, I work for a brilliant company!

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

I solve tech issues with our games. It's so easy to use and so customisable that it has allowed me to streamline my work and be more efficient

"Clear, direct, and easy communication with the end user"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift has been a tremendously useful SDK tool we've implemented in our mobile apps. The ability to add FAQs, tag issues, and automate replies has been very beneficial.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

We need better spam filtering options in Helpshift as we've received mass waves of spam that is sent directly to our inboxes as notifications which isn't ideal.

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

We are offering direct access to support for our users when they need it the most. We've realized benefits such as easy bug reporting, feedback acquisition, and overall organizational improvements when it comes to communicating with our users.

"Most Convenient Support Site Platform"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift is very helpful and easy to access, with analytics as well to review incoming tickets and other information. Catering players also comes easy with ready-to-send FAQs and easy-to-use response fields. Setting up new members also come easy with just their email addresses. Viewing tickets also comes at ease with the contents of a support ticket all in one place.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

There's actually nothing to dislike about Helpshift. Everything is prepared. What I probably wish to see in Helpshift is easy exporting of data, particularly ticket data, for external review.

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

Helpshift has been very helpful for us in catering players from several mobile games. Its ease of access helps us provide assistance on a much faster rate. Any issues that need critical attention are getting acknowledged quicker than any other support sites. Arising issues are getting noticed as well with all support tickets coming in on one place.

"A great customer service platform "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like that Helpshift allows you to easily respond to customers straight from the platform while being able to categorize messages to create easy access for other team members. The app also allows you to leave notes so that throughout communication, you can have pertinent information on hand to reference without having to go through the whole discovery process every time a customer writes in. I also like that you are able to send issues to other team members internally.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I love the app all together. I wish there were more ways to categorize and I definitely wish there was a spam filter available.

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

I am solving customer service issues that need to be communicated to a mass amount of users. I am able to send mass emails to customers with easy, allowing individuals to respond if they need more help.
