User Testimonials
	devContact	Helpshift
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	If you need a good way for players to send in support tickets that propagates in real-time, Helpshift would be a service I'd recommend. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	FAQ triggers by Google extensions customer service chat priority Amanda de Carli Assistente de Costumer Experience Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Angel Brockbank Director of Customer Experience Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The few times we've had to contact them, they were courteous and gave us the information we needed swiftly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	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 Incentivized Angel Brockbank Director of Customer Experience Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	The ability to properly organize and delegate work to customer service representatives has been a very positive ROI after using Helpshift. The customer service reps are much happier with this system over the previous system of a general company email address and other CS software tools.
