Read full review As this tool is an affordable option, this help desk software is best suited for startups to deal with their customer base and build customer-centric brand value. This helps in not only helped me increase customer loyalty but also ensured customer retention, increasing my company’s profits substantially. But, this tool does have a few minor drawbacks. The most important feature, for me, that is missing from this tool is skill-based routing. Without this feature, our agents lose a lot of time in replying to just one customer question. Sometimes, the ticket needs to be reassigned to a specialized agent - and until they are available, the ticket remains open.
Read full review Pros Easy to use interface. Supporting customers is as easy as texting a friend. True Omnichannel support system where all channels live on the same screen without the need to hop between applications. Built-in knowledgebase (Answers) reducing team member ramp time and providing a template for consistent solutions for our customers. Read full review Sometimes customers ask questions that require more than one agent to look into the matter. For such situations, ProProfs Help Desk has the “child ticket” feature. This literally made my life so so easy! Whenever I was in this situation, all I had to do was create a child ticket and assign it to another agent and give him a heads up on what has been going on. Answering a customer’s question accurately becomes really easy with this feature. Our entire team’s performance was always static. We never knew how anyone was performing or was anyone making any difference in the overall company’s value. With this tool, it became easy to see how every agent is performing and whether there was any positive impact on both - the company and our current customer base. Read full review Cons Gladly has errors where it times out and I lose a call. Which negatively reflects on me. If a contact is not currently assigned to me and I don’t know their info I can’t find them easily even if I was associated with the ticket. The inbox could notify you better of completed tasks and keep better track of your history in your own account. Read full review This tool does route tickets, but the one drawback is that the tickets are;t assigned to a specialized agent. It is randomly assigned to any available agent, and if he doesn’t have expertise in terms of the customer question, it becomes hard to give an accurate answer. Giving automatic responses to customers makes our life easy, but we can’t personalize these messages. This sometimes makes our customers feel that they are talking to a bot, making it difficult to answer their questions without them having a hostile reaction to the automated answers.

Read full review I shifted from Kayako to ProProfs Help Desk for mainly two reasons, UI and features. ProProfs Help Desk definitely has a more user-friendly interface and the features offered by this tool are also more compared to Kayako. A few features that aren’t available in Kayako but are available in ProProfs Help Desk are multiple shared inboxes, private notes, and email ticketing.
Read full review Return on Investment It positively helps us communicate with each other before we communicate with the timer if there are any questions or issues. Gladly helps prioritize email vs phone call and chat so that you are focusing on the most important task at hand. Gladly allows you to view what other representatives are doing and if they are busy or available for questions. Read full review High customer retention. Optimized average response time.
