Furthermore, users have noted that Groove aids in solving issues reported by clients when using their websites, allowing them to stay on top of problems and provide prompt resolutions.

While some users initially considered Groove as a tool to handle customer service due to its claimed integration with social media platforms, they discovered that the integration was not accurate. Despite this limitation, Groove remains highly regarded for its comprehensive ticketing features and its ability to effectively address various customer support needs.

Efficient Email Ticket Organization: Several users have praised Groove for its ability to efficiently organize email tickets. They appreciate how it allows them to categorize tickets based on set rules, easily update and send tickets where they need to go, and see what their team is working on. This feature has greatly contributed to an organized and streamlined workflow. Integrated Knowledge Base: Many reviewers have highlighted the integrated Knowledge Base in Groove as a valuable tool.

Issues with Handling Incoming Requests: Several users experienced issues with Groove's handling of incoming requests, particularly when emails were sent to multiple addresses with Groove set up. They reported that some emails were not processed correctly or were lost in the system.

Lack of Customization Options: Users desired more customization options within Groove's major features to cater to both large and small sales teams. They felt limited by the preset options and wanted more flexibility in tailoring the tool according to their specific needs.

Users commonly recommend Groove for its effective email communication capabilities within companies, particularly for bulk mailing and reaching customers effectively.

I used Groove for around 9 months for my customer service of my small business. I used it for answering customer emails and also for general business email. I used to use Desk.com and I was looking for a simpler solution.
  • Groove is pretty well organized.
  • They have a good knowledge base.
  • The support is usually pretty fast.
  • The email is extremely slow. It became unbearable. It did get better when they made some changes for me, but it was still slow. I've used other services and this was the slowest I've ever experienced. I wouldn't recommend it if you get a lot of HTML. They admitted they don't do well if you get a lot of HTML.
  • Very bad customer service if there is a problem or dispute. They sent out ONE email to say they were raising their rates the next month. I never saw the email. I didn't realize my rates had been raised until I went to cancel my account (due to being unhappy with how slow it was) They had raised my rate 3 times from $22 to $68! When I complained, they just replied that they sent out one email and left it at that. They stopped answering my emails. Wow. As someone in customer service, if I had a client who complained, I would bend over backwards to make them happy.
  • For what you pay with Groove, I would expect better service and features.
If you have customer service that is mostly text based, GrooveHQ isn't bad, but if you handle emails in HTML, it is way too slow. The customer service is good - until it isn't. I left with a very bad feeling towards them. It's too bad, too because it was avoidable. With better customer care resolution, I would have left feeling much better towards them.

  • I can only say that I started to dread doing my emails because it worked so slowly.
It's well organized, but slow.
I'm giving them a 3 for the really great support they gave for general questions. They also have a good knowledge base. I'm giving them only a 3 though because of my last customer service when I need a billing resolution. I was very disappointed in how they handled that. I also find it very bad practice to send out ONE email notice that they were raising my rate three times as much at the end of the month. When I was with Desk.com, I had numerous emails over months letting me know their billing plans were changing. Even worse than refusing to refund me the difference was that they just stopped responding to me.
I chose GrooveHQ after using Desk.com for many years. I have no complaints about Desk.com, I just wanted something simpler and more like email and Groove did match that. I liked Groove at first, but I grew frustrated with how slow it was.
