"Everything my team needs to provide excellent client service"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Ease of use. Once I gained familiarity on the platform, much of what I needed to do was intuitive or I could enlist help via their Live Chat technical support feature. We also have a dedicated account manager. With Tim, we can lay out our problem and he advises us on the best course of action to maximize efficiency while offering the best client experience.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Some aspects of Helpshift are simply over my head IT-wise and I need to ask for help. Thankfully, there are several avenues to get technical support.

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

We are helping clients gain access to medical advice - NOT Dr. Google but licensed, credible medical professionals. Helpshift allows us to serve clients 24/7/365. Live Chat is the highest-rated client engagement service we have at our company month-over-month.

When it comes to customer support, Helpshift is a very reliable tool. Even though I haven't had much experience with other tools, Helpshift provides everything you need for providing quality support. The platform is often being updated and new useful features are added. Helpshift team cares about their clients and I can always count on any support needed from their side.

Helpshift services are rather costly, but considering the quality of the platform and expertise of their employees, it's hard to consider the price a downside.

We use Helpshift to provide customer support for our mobile games. There are hardly any issues with the app which helps us to provide the best support to our players. If players can have a seamless gaming experience, they will surely enjoy the games more.

"It has a lot of useful features, but I also see a lot of potential in it to expand current features."

Mainly two things - that I'm able to create My smart views and that the Chat Support is in Helpshift - I don't have to search for it on another page.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

It would be really helpful to have something like a note text field next to an automation - this way we could describe what that automation is responsible for, etc.

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

Mostly managing team's work by creating and managing automation and queues. We are also using bots which are helpful to decrease the number of tickets we receive.

Helpshift is an excellent one-stop-shop for CS requirements, from the moment a customer needs is served through ticketing through to resolution.

Currently, we are working through issues with applying bots and smart intents, but this is less a dislike and more something we are working to integrate to our satisfaction.
