    Search function Global Synonyms Guided Helps. Documentation does a great job of describing features but lacks the big picture of how things relate to one another. Strong consulting partnership and customer focus. There are areas where they need to improve - Improve compliance & risk management plus Improve customer relations/service.

    HelpSpot is well suited for streamlining support ticketing within the organization. By providing a single point of contact to email for support, we were able to increase response time and case resolution by approximately 30% through the increased efficiency of ticket routing via workflows and the ability for IT support staff to grab tickets from the queue instead of having them pile up in a mailbox that contains other emails as well.

    • HelpSpot was great for organization. Having different queues allowed each of my team members to organize their conversations with the customer and quickly retrieve the history of the ticket.
    • HelpSpot is a fairly simple tool that has a friendly user interface. With it's more modern look, it made it easier for me personally to navigate and train team members on how to use it successfully.
    • HelpSpot allowed our team to view the responses section, which allowed our team to cut down on the time we spent responding to a ticket.

    UserScape
    • The UI is a little dated but to be fair, shows most of the pertinent information at a glance on a well designed dashboard.
    • The UI can also be buggy at times with controls appearing in strange places. These glitches are usually corrected within a reasonable amount of time.

    While searching for a Customer Experience software, eGain came first in the search and we were pretty satisfied with the product features it has. We liked the support and customer service which made sure all our queries were answered in a very short turnaround time.

    HelpSpot appears to be more of an old-school product but much of the recent technology is running under the surface. It has much of the compexity and customization available with Jira in tandem with the easy communications interface, not unlike Zendesk ,and some of the potential archival intelligence (in the works) of Fogbugz
