Freshdesk Messaging is available on all of our business saas software web pages to connect our clients directly to the help team for time-sensitive product and admin user issues. Also recently connected Messaging to a retail Apple/Android app to assist users with subscription and user difficulties. Messaging is now more than 40% of our client contact which reduces equal contact by phone and email. Our clients typically are running our web-based software for their clientele to access a member portal. Many of the issues are user-related with the unfamiliarity with the software. We are able to use messaging to quickly access the product pages of our clients and direct them to solutions or provide instant support. Messaging on our app greatly assists novice app users in issues creating a profile and subscribing.
  • Highly customisable for specific web pages and devices
  • Great for non-technical users
  • Easily divert email and phone calls
  • Support team can handle more chats than other contact methods
  • When sending a campaign the text remains there at end of campaign
Great for Timezone based support Non-technical users Deflects many phone/email communications Specific solution messaging Urgent issues reach out to target users and pages

We use it as the CRM tool for handling customer tickets where customer can raise their concerns. Business problems include item-related issues, order-related issues, or payment-related issues mainly. The scope is vast where over 300 users are on the tool handling tickets. This involves using multiple features as well.
  • Interlliassign
  • Assignment rules
  • Raw reports
  • Smartplugs
  • Live dashboard for everyone to view their metrics
  • Faster enhancement implentations
  • Knowlegde management
The tool (Freshdesk messaging) is suited to manage the active folks and online folks. It is also efficient in providing live metrics to the managers/ admin so that live actions can be taken to improve the metrics for the particular day. It is less appropriate when the Freshbots integration and the widget are being used.

Freshchat is really easy to use with massive functionality. Its integration with a lot of applications makes it easy to use and implement with other applications as well. I have been using Freshchat for some time now and I have integrated it with our CRM, Active Campaign and all the functionality was retained perfectly
  • Integration
  • UX
  • UI
  • Customer support
Freshdesk messaging is fit for businesses where all the efforts you need to set up are for one time only. The software is very stable and hardly has any hiccups so once implemented properly, there is no need to check on it again and again. Also, businesses who do not prefer a lot of integration can opt-in for a fresh work suite to minimize the integration efforts

We previously only used FreshDesk for Support Tickets. We added FreshChat last year, and we use this daily with our customers. It allows us a direct access for quicker customer service, and we're able to resolve issues faster. I like that it connects directly with Freshdesk and our platform, so it was an easy thing to implement!
  • 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.
We use this very frequently as we work in hotels, so we have people using it at all times of the day. They do a great job of how easy it is to use and implement.

We used Freshchat as the pop-up web chatbox on our website. It was a highly customizable chatbox with handy drop-down menus and easy-to-see topics from the first click on the chatbox button on the main site. We were able to also let users search our FAQs directly through the chatbox and we were able to put our company colors and logo on the chatbox as well. I thought it was a great chatbox because you do live customer service through it and even have the customer share their screen with you so you could see exactly what they were seeing and help them much more effectively!
  • 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.
My company needed a highly customizable chatbox to answer quick questions prospects may have when they enter the site. The Freshchat Chatbox was more than adequate for this, it has a lot of features we didn't take advantage of and the customer service team can help you set it up easily.

my way in my organization , that we use the Freshdesk to support out customers i mean with it the riders of talabat that our customers enter chat though it , then we answer them in a quickly way , then we follow the case even we solve it , and some times we create some tickets even escalate to the responsible team .
  • typing massages
  • create tickets
  • can arrange the chats as the priority
  • can see the hurrier orders
  • can see the details of the rider like a number and location
  • i wish to add voice call on it
  • to add typing correction
the bad scenario that once i was have a lot of chats and the Freshdesk was a lil slow , but its not take alot of time .
the good scenario that Freshdesk i always amazing and help me to make a great performance , that once rider enter chat becouse he have large order and i enter in another system to add rider and get his details , then enter his info in Freshdesk and create a ticket it was so helpful and easy .

Prior to Freshdesk Messaging, Fantastic Services used a custom-built live chat platform. However, the sales and customer service teams faced two major challenges with it:Limited capabilities and features: The platform performed only basic tasks. The agents had to manually pick up tickets which took time away from interacting with customers. Additionally, agents spent more time waiting for replies from idle customers, which reduced agent concurrency. Required technical expertise: Even with a full in-house development team, Fantastic Services found it hard to maintain its chat platform. Maintenance and technical updates slowed down support. They needed an outsider to lend a hand with the chat channel. Freshdesk Messaging was the perfect solution for the teams at Fantastic Services. The myriad of features offered by Freshdesk Messaging along with ease-of-use enabled the sales and customer service teams to scale their chat channel. Fantastic Services now uses Freshdesk Messaging not just for customer service but for revenue generation as well.
  • 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.
  • contact with customer

Communicate with customers and employees through Freshdesk and understand their requirements and needs. There are not many problems, but there is some slow response in some cases, but mostly there are no problems. The scope of work revolves around communicating with customers and monitoring the movements of employees with customers as well.
  • Communicate with clients on an ongoing basis to understand their needs and requirements
  • Monitor employee conversations with clients and officials
  • The program is fully compatible with the system in the company to increase work efficiency
  • There should also be a feature that allows video communication
  • Add a comment to the profile of each employee, customer or user of fresh chat
  • Quick response in executing many commands at the same time
It could be that the messages sometimes do not appear quickly or there is some slow response. From my experience, customer conversations must be fast and clear in order to reach the highest level of efficiency and confidence in the customer or the employee himself. The scenarios are very similar within the scope of work because the goal has not changed, which is to reach the required efficiency and confidence in the company.

The organization in which I work uses the Freshdesk to communicate between us and customers through chat and this helps us to speed up communication and solve problems without the need for calls and this causes comfort to both parties to us and to the customer and it is important for me because the work is based on it in the first place.
  • Ease of communication between customer service and the customer.
  • Quick to solve problems.
  • Talk to more than one customer at a time.
  • Put a picture of the customer.
  • Send the video via Freshdesk.
  • Send the location via Freshdesk.
According to the scenarios that occur with me and with my colleagues in our organization through the Freshdesk it works to solve customer problems through chat without the need to contact the customer and this helps us in speeding up the procedures and serving many customers at the same time.

This is a great live chat software for businesses of all sizes. Moreover, Freshchat includes all modern features that entirely transform your customer experience and also helps in toning your business. Altogether, the end-user experience is great because it is very smooth and streamlined. Also, the support team of Freshchat is always responsible for any type of query. I am [receiving] fantastic services from this tool because it is a completely reliable tool.
  • 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.
I would recommend Freshchat because it is very handy when it comes to handling and operating with a small team. I have always had a pretty smooth messaging experience with Freshchat and this is the basic reason why I am vouching for the product. In my opinion, it greatly helps in the promotion of brands due to amazing tracking features which help in telling your performance and facilitates in identifying the adequate leads for the brand, which in my opinion is extremely beneficial in the long run.

Freshchat is a cloud-facilitated informing and commitment application made to meet the fluctuating requirements of outreach groups both huge and little. As per fulfilled clients, Freshchat brings the visiting experience to a more customized level, and change discussions to both yours and your clients' assumptions. The advanced application allows me to plan and convey context-oriented messages, catch leads, and qualifying assets, and accumulate important client knowledge straightforwardly from my clients or outsider frameworks.
  • 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].
Freshchat is a reasonable platform where you need to furnish your clients with various stages for reaching your outreach group and giving every client to the right specialist. It allows clients to aggregate client information and sort discussions for the motivations behind building practical assumptions from every conversation. Freshchat has a method of uncovering our image through a lot of strategies.

Freshchat has been a great help for me in managing good communication with the client. A great dashboard, fully functional UI, and good customer support make it even more reliable. I have been using it for a long time and it has been best for me throughout, I would definitely recommend this to other businesses to have this in their ecosystem to better communicate with clients.
  • 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.
Freshchat is one of the top used messaging platforms available in the marketplace for all types of businesses. Freshchat has been operational in our organization for a very long time. Freshchat was the first tool that our organization starts its communication services with clients.

As an Ed-Tech Start-up, we provide courses on various topics like App development, website development (Frontend and Backend), Cloud, graphic designing, UI/UX, and many more. For us, client satisfaction is a prime motto, and solving their issues, helping them in their difficulties is necessary. Earlier the clients (mainly students, speakers and instructors) used to contact us via email or, in urgent cases, call us. While calling resolves issues immediately, the problem with the calling feature was we used to get a lot of spam calls. It wasted our time and also reduced the chances so solving important issues. The next option was through email, where we wanted to solve issues immediately. But with a large no of queries, and solving them manually becomes a tedious task, we wanted something that could give [us an] instant solution and which can help us separate spam messages from the relevant ones. That is when we started using tools like Freshchat, Intercom, Tawk and Live Chat
  • User friendly interface and is easy to learn and use
  • Helps in promoting your brand
  • Friendly and knowledgeable Customer Support Representative
  • Helps in supporting clients, without juggling between multiple apps
  • Works well for small teams
  • When working on automation feature, there are few issues
  • Bot features aren't up to mark when compared to competitors
  • No option to filter messages by time, searching conversation takes time
  • Certain important features are only available to the highest pricing tier
It becomes very handy when operating with a small team. With its simple and easy to understand/use interface, even beginners can learn it within sometime. It has a smooth messaging experience, like you can collect feedbacks, customer details, appoint the right agents [HR team, Marketing team] based on the type of queries. It also helps in promotion of brand, with cool tracking features, which will tell your performance [website analytics], which helps in identifying the appropriate leads for the brand. Freshchat's dashboard is really amazing.

We purchased Freshchat to make the most out of communication opportunities with customers through our company websites and landing pages. The tool is now being used to automate some of this communication, as well as collect data around the major interests and pain points of our customers by analysing where they get stuck/ exit from our pages/ request support and resolve those issues proactively for the next site visitors. The ultimate goal is to improve the experience of existing and potential customers alike.
  • 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.
Freshchat is great when you need total control and visibility over marketing and sales customer conversations, support provision and customer satisfaction measuring. The tool works best when used as part of an overall digital strategy - without this users may struggle to make the most of its features.

Freshchat has met the varying needs of our sales team and has personalized the chatting experience to meet the customers' expectations by letting us prepare and engage customers with contextual messages and still gather customer data that we rely on to capture new leads. We have a variety of channels through which we engage with our customers.
  • 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.
Freshchat is suitable in scenarios where you want to provide your customers with different platforms for contacting your sales department and handing each customer to the right agent. It lets users accumulate customer data and categorize conversations for the purposes of building realistic expectations from every single discussion. Freshchat has a way of exposing our brand through plenty of methods.

We use Freshchat for talking with our old and new customers. A lot of people enter our website and talk to us on Freshchat. Freshchat is easy to implement on our customer's websites and is easy to customize as well. The mobile SDK is awesome and it works with some frameworks like Ionic, React Native and Native development.
  • Easy to implement
  • Easy to customize
  • Mobile SDK is awesome
  • Easy to talk with our clients and new clients
  • Telegram integration
  • Receive more information on some SDK methods
  • Whatsapp integration could be easier to implement
Freshchat is recommended if you are looking for a chat tool. It is very easy to add it to your website and the SDK for mobile devices works very well. Whatsapp integration could be better. It depends on the Whatapp crew and the customer needs to buy the Whatsapp API.

Freshchat was used by our support team for about two months. It was included as part of our Freshdesk licensing, so we thought it would be great to offer as an additional support channel for our customers. It gave our customers the freedom to reach out to us while continuing to do whatever they are doing at that moment.
  • 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.
Freshchat is great if you don't want to spend additional time and money in setting up separate chat software for your team to use. The FAQs and canned responses are already integrated seamlessly. Additionally, agents can create their own private canned responses which my team loved. However, the inconsistent notifications and not being able to use it in Safari were no-gos for us. If a company had PCs only and didn't mind the inconsistent notifications, it would be alright for them.

We use Freshchat to support our customers and assist them with bookings.

It is used by the customer service department. The best feature that we liked about Freshchat was that there was an FAQ section that was very close to the chat option. This would allow our customers to browse through the FAQs before they decide to reach out to our customer service agent. Additionally, we were able to setup business hours and configure a bot to capture user details (email & mobile) when our agent is away. The look was smooth and it was easy to setup on both web and app.
  • 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.
Freshchat is among the best to use for customer service. Reasons already highlited -

1. Ease of use
2. Beautiful design
3. Customizations available
4. Ability to add FAQs
5. Simple AI bot
6. Setting business hours
7. Super easy to setup
8. Ability to capture customer ratings
9. View customer satisfaction score, etc.
10. Compatible across apps and website

Freshchat might be less appropriate when you want to use it for tracking customer tickets. In such cases, you could try Zendesk or Freshdesk.
