  • Quick
  • Easy to learn
  • Access to Knowledge Base
  • Access to Canned Responses
  • They do not check for spelling mistakes, so I commonly have typos I wish would've gotten caught.
  • They don't have a status for Pending Client Response, so we find ourselves marking things as Resolved because we don't want to leave it open for hours.

  • Great Customization
  • Responsive Customer Service that actually helps
  • Very easy to use interface for non-tech savvy people!
  • Has an A.I bot that can be trained to answer most questions as well
  • It's difficult to juggle having two accounts
  • There are a lot of premium extra cost features you have to pay for that should be a part of the highest monthly price package.
  • Even when you cancel they may accidentally charge you, keep your receipt of cancellation.

  • Freshchat is a cloud-hosted live messaging and engagement application.
  • Saved/Canned responses
  • My mobile app uses Freshchat. I wanted something with an SDK that would allow in-app help with information about their install, and tied into a knowledge base also available on the web, which Freshchat does through a FreshDesk integration. We moved from Helpshift because they raised prices to go after bigger customers.

  • Freshchat has been offering best-in-class chatbots that primarily focus on intent and engagement.
  • It is quite proactive and has rich media campaigns to segment and target audiences.
  • Freshchat is also one of my favorite software because it offers seamless integration with apps.
  • Freshchat is one of the best platforms, but still there are certain areas that require further improvement in order for the platform to become flawless.
  • I feel that the automated system in Freshchat is comparatively slow and due to this, it does not respond well according to all the requirements.
  • There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and they can only be accessed by those who are paying the highest pricing tier.

  • Freshchat has a well designed user interface which makes it easy to use for all users.
  • It is simple for everyone to use.
  • Freshchat has all the amazing features of contacting the customers in all-new ways to get more conversions and leads through communicating with them effectively.
  • Freshchat even though it is a good software still has some cons associated with it as well.
  • There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and are available to the highest pricing tier only.
  • Moreover, the automated system is quite slow and does not respond well according to all the requirements.

  • Incorporates well with outsider applications and this upgrades its client interface.
  • The stage isn't exceptionally evaluated and this guarantees utilization across all associations. Client care is accessible and able to help all clients in solidly utilizing the stage.
  • It allows clients to collect client information and sort discussions for the motivations behind building reasonable assumptions from every conversation.
  • Freshchat has a method of uncovering our image through a lot of techniques.
  • It has been dependable and we have not had any issues in utilizing the stage in our association.
  • We utilize the venture adaptation of Freshchat and I [recently realized] that my association is charged per client, [rather than] a one-time yearly or month-to-month charge which permits us to have however many clients as [possible].

  • It has all the amazing features of contacting the customers in all-new ways to get more conversions and leads through communicating with them effectively.
  • It is easy to use.
  • Its interface is well designed.
  • Its interface has all the navigation tabs to easily access the relevant tool on the go.
  • The best feature of Freshchat that I like the most is the option of creating specific chat flows in the chatbox.
  • The emailing chat script to customers is only available in the highest tier which is a big disadvantage.
  • Small businesses can not have access to this feature easily because it needs a lot of money to buy high tier subscription.
  • Auto-assignment and auto-close features are not up to mark. They are quite slow and becomes unresponsive while using other features.

  • User-friendly - this was incredibly important for us as several team members with different backgrounds needed to find the platform mutually easy to use.
  • Analytics - the data collected by the tool is accurate and easy to understand, helping us take decisions internally regarding customer targeting and content/site improvements that are necessary.
  • Puts us in control - the tool has allowed us to remain totally in control of customer communication/support tickets/automated bots through our sites, an enormous advantage considering other options we looked at outsourced this and therefore could potentially lead to miscommunication or mismanagement.
  • Support requests - despite frequent automated emails from the tool to our internal users during the initial on-boarding process, when we actually required some support and reached out, we did not hear back from our 'Onboarding Manager.'
  • Languages - it would be great to have options for additional languages in the future (chat bots in particular) as we are a multinational company and have customers from across our regions.

  • Customized bot workflow and push notifications.
  • Categorizing messages into custom groups and maintaining a priority inbox.
  • Tracking of website visitors and segmenting leads.
  • Bot communications used to take time to appear, but this was fixed recently and we are now more than satisfied to use it.
  • The initial process of setting up a Freshchat account is a long one.
  • The billing is per member/month which can get expensive fast.

  • Integrates with Freshdesk FAQs you've already created.
  • Integrates with canned responses you've already created.
  • Has a similar user experience to Freshdesk.
  • Inconsistent notifications - the chat notification works intermittently for agents. They don't always know they have a chat or that a customer responded.
  • Does not work in Safari browser. When I discussed with their support, they said just use another browser.
  • It is supposed to distribute chats based on ticket load, but it did not seem to do this fairly.

  • Great Design
  • Support for FAQs
  • Compatible across apps and website
  • Super easy to setup
  • Setting business hours
  • Smooth bot to capture user details
  • Allow end-users to rate the response that they received and whether they were satisfied
  • AI bot functionality was still under development when we started. It is not a very mature product yet. It would be great if this was added to ease our manpower.
  • Reporting could be done much better and more in-depth
  • Support for react native apps could be improved. It often gives issues.
