It works really well for you to ask a teammate to review a case/email/message and provide some input since you can all review the same conversations and client accounts. They can also cover your inbox using your email handle in case you are out of the office suing some well deserved PTO.

This is well suited when you need to gather customer feedback and understand the voice of the customer in the interactions. It creates an auto generated method that can be easily managed and maintained once set up and running. This may be hard when you want to change your approach often and target very specific small groups for custom things.

Pros
Meta Platforms Inc
  • All customer data (past orders, communication with customer service, rewards account data) is in one place. This helps agents avoid confusion and reduces the number of tabs they need to open.
  • The Knowledge Base (or K Base) is very helpful. Any time we roll out a new policy or have a limited-time promotion, we can add all the relevant information and worksheets there for the convenience of the agents. That way they can stay in a chat while looking up the answer to a question.
  • We can seamlessly move from chat into email if the customer leaves or the queue times are too long. All the interactions will stay on the customer profile page, so they are kept up to date.

Cons
Meta Platforms Inc
  • Small chat window--maybe the ability to chat in real-time with the person who received your ticket would help.
  • Different teams could have differently colored notes.
  • The notification bell could be a bit bigger. It's hard to keep track sometimes, when a lot of notes pile on.

  • The overall thematics of the platform can be changed to be a little better, but other than that, the platform is clean and friendly
  • They only provide direct services to businesses they should also focus on end users as well.

Reliability and Availability

Performance
Meta Platforms Inc
Kustomer Performances need improvement. The pages do load very slowly but that might be because of the information they carry. If Kustomer integrates with other software or systems it does slow the performance. They need to find a solution to this.

Support Rating
Meta Platforms Inc
I think that it has been good. I am not the primary one in contact with Kustomer support. I know that we have experienced technical issues at different points, which has been frustrating, but in my experience, each problem has been quickly resolved. Working in a fast-paced environment, even fairly minor outages have a big impact, and this has happened to us a few times since using Kustomer.

Nothing really because it is easy to use. After an hour of using it, we're already getting the hang of it.

Alternatives Considered

Apps like Intercom, Zendesk, and Gorgios all treat customer inquiries as tickets, just tracking that one issue or interaction with a customer. Kustomer treats each customer as an individual, which allows us to provide top-notch customer service. Customers love that we're able to be more conversational and informal, while still solving their issues quickly. It also helps us build relationships with customers and increases repeat orders.

InMoment is Better at service and support. Appears to be easier to integrate and deploy. The price however was more expensive and we were already familiar with other products from Medallia so it made sense to stay with the same brand. Once you are used to LivingLens it is really easy to use and actually I don't consider any other options anymore

Return on Investment
Meta Platforms Inc
  • We’re getting so much positive feedback — which is not something you traditionally associate with a customer care team — because we’re making it effortless for customers to deliver both positive and negative feedback, and we can now resolve the bad feedback really really quickly.
  • Primarily from our increased efficiency with Kustomer, we’ve seen a significant reduction of $3 to $4 for every cost per contact.
