I am no longer with the company that was using this, and they were recently bought out by a larger organization that uses an internally developed software suite. It is unlikely for that reason that they will renew or keep any service with Kayako.

Product currently meets our needs and is cost effective. However, we were recently purchased by a larger company who has their own software so it is unknown if we will continue to use this software.

This is one of the easiest systems I've used! You can come from any background and learn this system within days.

Keep customers coming back with Kayako

  • We are grandfathered in on their old Software-assurance pricing and our continued use costs us only a few hundred dollars a year (excluding hosting expenses)
  • Our team's processes are now heavily ingrained in the system
  • We have not been shown a more compelling option that is more cost-effective while still offering all the features we've come to expect
