    Gorgias
    Gorgias is one of the easiest platforms I've used, as it was easy to navigate. You can customize your views so you can easily track them. The shared views are also specific and convenient. The search button is also one thing I like, as it easily shows what you're looking for with just keywords, email addresses, or any information.

    [It's] well suited for cloud support applications as there's no installation or maintenance required.

    Pros
    Gorgias
    • Tagging- the tagging system was a great way to stay organized.
    • Rules- when you have 49 inboxes implementing rules on when to fire a macro or auto tag is necessary and Gorgias’ UI was easy to understand and execute.
    • Integrations- I had to integrate with dozens of inboxes many times using aliases and most of the time Gorgias was able to help.

    Cons
    Gorgias
    • Rules are powerful, but clunky, showing them to others can put them off as it looks "easy to break" because of their messy nature.
    • Pricing seems to be increasing due to the inclusion of more advanced AI that currently does not provide value.
    • Macros could really use contextual support, or a hotkey system to make it easier to pick highly used ones that aren't in the top 3.

    • Its ability to switch between tickets, assets, etc., is a little clunky. A static menu bar would be helpful.
    • The ability to see the latest update in the ticket view.

    Usability
    Gorgias
    Gorgias is still by far most the most complete customer service tool to handle multiple responses and channels at a single umbrella without the needs of opening multiple tabs and sometimes will even make us missed some messages what supposed to be taken care of at a timely manner

    We selected Gorgias from Zendesk based on its Shopify integration. Given how many stores we were managing the team needed to quickly find all of a customer's information in an email. We preferred it to Zendesk. However, now that I use intercom I have many more features such as surveys, topics, extensive reporting, auto tags, and series I prefer intercom for my work now

    When looking for solutions for our business, I personally looked at Aautotask. I am not the decision maker so I don't know what my boss looked at in full. Autotask seems good. It looked like it got a bit complicated and may be for very large enterprise customers. Just lots of features that we don't need.

    Return on Investment
    Gorgias
    • Drastically reduced our response time from 2 business days, to 2 hours on average.
    • Made it easier to sync data for damaged item, allowing us to better understand damages.
    • Allowed us to easily see that statistics of what kind of issues we are seeing from our customers.

    • As a single freelance consultant Sherpadesk has exceptional ROI because it's free but if my company had more support people I would definetly go with SherpaDesk again.
