    GLPI is
    well suited to an on prem environment, I work for a company that values open-source
    software and European solutions.
    I have no
    experience with GLPI cloud hosted solution or their support as we have in house
    devs that fix and improve our installation, their community in the support forum
    is excellent if you have a question or want advice on an issue.

    • While I am not an engineer; it is known that Helpshift can be a bit of a pain to get it implemented into our applications.
    • 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.
    • The website dashboard that is used to respond to customers has trouble sometimes and is very slow.

    Usability
    Teclib
    We’ve used
    GLPI for many years and the interface has gotten better with every major
    release, the dashboard is easy to use and customizable.

    With the
    massive catalogue of plugins, you can change or add so many features and if you
    have the right team, you can turn it into a completely unique piece of
    software.

    So, if the
    default setup isn’t to your liking you can tweak it extensively.

    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.

    We selected GLPI because it is free software, and because of the potential it expected to have. We do not consider other alternatives.

    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.

    • 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.
