Freshdesk Omni vs. Helpshift

For a typical technical support help desk use case Freshdesk Omni is great! It has the advanced features of automating responses and canned answers where appropriate. The AI functionality seems good but not something we are leveraging at this point given the volume of tickets.

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.

• When an agent receives a call via Dialpad or Amazon Connect, Freshdesk Omni automatically displays relevant customer details, previous interactions, and ticket history in a single view.
• Every call (answered, missed, or voicemail) is automatically logged into Freshdesk as a ticket, including details like call duration, customer number, and agent notes.

• There are some issues with the badge when it comes to the notifications of messages that let the user know they have a reply from customer service.

Utilizing a unified platform has successfully reduced the resolution time for customer-facing issues. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency and generates valuable insights that can be leveraged to improve our services and better understand customer needs, ultimately leading to a more satisfying experience for our clients.

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.

The few times we've had to contact them, they were courteous and gave us the information we needed swiftly.

1) Price is also a point to decide, other Service Providers were providing similar features but the prices were slightly on a higher side. 2) Coming to feature comparison, JIRA offers whole lot of other features but currently we did not require them and Zoho had few less features comparing to Freshworks
