    JivoChat makes it really easy to communicate with customers. It is best for small and medium sales and customer support teams. The team members can even communicate between each other, so it has a use case outside of client facing communication. It has convenient (yet minimal) CRM features. It's a bit overkill for individual website owners, but definitely one of the best Chat Apps out there for teams.

    Cons
    Helpshift Inc.
    • 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.

    • There is a negligible number of candidates at the same time so, this application must use a large number of applicants if possible.
    • The quality of the internet should be good enough for its accurate working.

    Usability
    Helpshift Inc.
    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.

    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.

    Because is a tool that we can easily use and the team learn to use in a little time. It's easy to implement for the team and the necessity of the organization. We only use one meeting to teach others the tools of JivoChat and how to install in their equipment.
