Hiver vs. SupportBee

Any work environment where more than one team member is able to address certain customer requests. We used to use Groups, but then it was confusing as to whether or not someone responded, and we needed more transparency between team members. Another example is a person emailing with a billing question. We used to reply and add the billing department's email address or forward the email to billing, but with Hiver, simply assigning it to the billing HIVER Inbox allows anyone to reply directly to the customer without the issue of either the customer or team member remembering to reply all or accidentally replying only to the team member forwarding the email.

SupportBee is particularly well suited as a support ticket system if you use the systems supported by its 3rd party integrations. If you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use, support ticket system without a lot of extras, then SupportBee is the right choice.

• It's easy to set up, and manage ongoing.
• The customer service and support is amazing- I get check ins, quick responses to enquiries and extras from time to time.
• It knows what it's doing- it's here to take the issue of gmail not being the best when it comes to shared inboxes and it has provided the perfect solution!

• Shared inbox system
• The knowledge base resource
• Customer portal software

• There is currently no way to create a support ticket unless related to an email already received. It would be extremely beneficial to be able to take a call and create a support ticket within HIVER based on the call in the same manner that we can create a ticket from an inbound email.

• UX isn't the cleanest.
• Finding where to actually start typing responses can be confusing for new users.

Easy to use

Support is there, can be slow at times.

I haven't had to deal with support issues much, other than someone within our own company helping.

Hiver was the only option we looked at. There didn't appear to be many alternatives in the market

SupportBee is the "maximal point" of the combination of feature set, price point, ease of use, third party integrations, and client-facing functionality. Every other system we've tried is too expensive, impossible to use, too many features, too high a learning curve for our employees, or too difficult for our clients to interact with.

• Hiver has increased the efficiency by which we address emailed questions and concerns.
• Hiver increases transparency between team members.
• Information pertinent to one or more team members is searchable by all applicable team members making it easier to research a situation that otherwise could have been stored in details across separate member email histories.

• 100% Service Level Achievement
• Could Build Good Client & Customer Relationship
• Knowledge base Could Save Our Time
