Chose Avaamo
Avaamo becomes clearly the stand-out option of the 2020s as other platforms don't quite stack up. The team at Avaamo are at the forefront of the technology and the only way is up. This is not for every organisation as it's very much enterprise level but if your aim is the …
Helpshift
Chose Helpshift
Zendesk is used for customer communication via email and Helpshift is used for chat, they are for the same purpose but with different response times.
Chose Helpshift
Helpshift is reasonably priced and has great analytics and capabilities and is very user-friendly. We had a hard time with Intercom about 2 years ago when we tried to implement them because their analytics were very minimal and wouldn't track what we needed it to. We haven't …
Chose Helpshift
One of the previous systems we used was Zendesk and it really only housed emails like Microsoft Outlook would: not very organized, very clunky to use, with long loading times. The meta data that is recorded by Helpshift was another deciding factor for the stakeholders as that …

For a customer centric organisation looking for a future proof approach towards customer service this could be very much be well suited if you have the capital and/or patience. Providing intuitive AI that can provide huge value to enterprise organisations, but perhaps less so to smaller ones that could deal with the customer experience on a more human / personal level

  • The look could do with a bit of an upgrade. It's not a very big deal and isn't hard on the eyes but could probably be a bit more vibrant (or allow for customization).
  • Better mobile support would be great. At the moment, it's very hard to try and do tickets from a phone.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Helpshift is really easy to use and set up. We enjoy the automation to automatically route certain issues to different smart folders. There's just a lot of flexibility in the functionality to make things work for our team in the best way. I didn't give it a 10/10 just because we need SMS/Apple Business Chat and Helpshift doesn't yet offer that. They also don't currently support social media channels but they are working on releasing that soon.

Helpshift is reasonably priced and has great analytics and capabilities and is very user-friendly. We had a hard time with Intercom about 2 years ago when we tried to implement them because their analytics were very minimal and wouldn't track what we needed it to. We haven't gone with Zendesk because we've heard from multiple people that their customer support was sub-standard
