GrooveHQ vs. WorkHub Tasks

Groove is great for people who are wanting to provide accountability and organization for teams across your business. It is suited well for an organization that has many email requests coming in every day, because you can assign tickets to specific team members. It would not be suited for an organization that utilizes more phone support, than email support

WorkHub Tasks is best suited for companies searching for a better way to handle customer queries. It is also appropriate to resolve customer queries in time. Last but not least it is well suited for providing excellent customer service.

• Creates Tickets when someone emails in or you can create a ticket within the groove system.
• They have great reports on response times and the average amount of time it took for a ticket to close. You can even see individuals average response times as well as specific teams.

It's well organized, but slow.

I'm giving them a 3 for the really great support they gave for general questions. They also have a good knowledge base. I'm giving them only a 3 though because of my last customer service when I need a billing resolution. I was very disappointed in how they handled that. I also find it very bad practice to send out ONE email notice that they were raising my rate three times as much at the end of the month. When I was with Desk.com, I had numerous emails over months letting me know their billing plans were changing. Even worse than refusing to refund me the difference was that they just stopped responding to me.

We also use Trello for project management. I have used both systems and we like Groove because it allows for our clients to contact us via email. They do not have to go to a ticket submission page, they can just email us directly and it will create a ticket. Groove also provides analytics on how long it takes to respond to tickets

HubSpot has a lower learning curve. On the other hand, WorkHub Tasks provides project management on a larger scale, giving more priority to the tasks; that is why it is my favorite.

• We wasted a lot of time setting up the product before we discovered a lot of features listed on the website aren't ready for public use

• Intelligent query handling due to relative task assignment
• Smart instead of the hard work enables using resources on other tasks
• customer retention has gone up significantly
