    UserScape
    HelpSpot is well suited for streamlining support ticketing within the organization. By providing a single point of contact to email for support, we were able to increase response time and case resolution by approximately 30% through the increased efficiency of ticket routing via workflows and the ability for IT support staff to grab tickets from the queue instead of having them pile up in a mailbox that contains other emails as well.

    This software is ideal for companies that need to be in permanent contact with their customers and provide them with a better online service through different channels. I also recommend the software to all sales companies, as it will help them to better train their agents and close more contracts.

    Pros
    UserScape
    • HelpSpot was great for organization. Having different queues allowed each of my team members to organize their conversations with the customer and quickly retrieve the history of the ticket.
    • HelpSpot is a fairly simple tool that has a friendly user interface. With it's more modern look, it made it easier for me personally to navigate and train team members on how to use it successfully.
    • HelpSpot allowed our team to view the responses section, which allowed our team to cut down on the time we spent responding to a ticket.

    • The intelligence of the software allows the creation of algorithms, metrics, and advanced reports, to train sales agents and improve their sales performance and customer treatment.
    • Allows you to search for recordings or archives of any customer interaction in real-time, to closely monitor and draw from that experience some sales learning and improvement.
    • It has an easy control panel, where you can attend to customers, monitor performance, pull reports, and have everything under control in an easy-to-manage interface.

    Cons
    UserScape
    • The UI is a little dated but to be fair, shows most of the pertinent information at a glance on a well designed dashboard.
    • The UI can also be buggy at times with controls appearing in strange places. These glitches are usually corrected within a reasonable amount of time.

    • It would be very useful if it not only made call recordings but the transcription of the call, to have better access to the communication.
    • If it could be integrated with social networks it would be great, so we could also monitor the behavior of our customers through that medium.
    • If I had a database of contacts and customers, it would also be very useful and would facilitate my work.

    HelpSpot appears to be more of an old-school product but much of the recent technology is running under the surface. It has much of the compexity and customization available with Jira in tandem with the easy communications interface, not unlike Zendesk ,and some of the potential archival intelligence (in the works) of Fogbugz

    • Thanks to the fact that we have been able to have greater and better control of calls, chats, emails, and other interactions with customers, we were able to improve the performance of our agents, correct errors that were in the conversations, and make good manuals and user guides for the agent to know how to deal with customers, expanding our numbers and increasing our sales.
