Kustomer is a customer experience management platform from the company of the same name headquartered in New York, supporting retail, ecommerce, and enterprise entities with customer communication tracking, AI guided sentiment tracking, and call center and customer service agent assistance via automation, an organized customer data and interaction tracking interface, and other tools and integrations.Kustomer, Inc.Kustomer and Customers2019-09-19T18:14:24.587ZKustomer is currently used through one department: our Customer Experience department. It is used daily for conversations with our customers. The business problem it would address is customer questions or concerns. We help our customers through Kustomer from pre-sale to shopping questions to returns and exchanges. We also use Kustomer for Datta purposes to see how many times our customers are reaching out to us in regards to particular issues or questions.,Cohesiveness: all the information we need is in one spot, from customer information, order information, feedback opportunities and the actual conversation(s) with the customers.
Stability: compared to other CRM tools, Kustomer has been the most stable and has crashed less than other tools.
Troubleshooting: any issues that we have are typically resolved immediately.,Flexibility: were often told from Kustomer reps that certain functionalities are unachievable, though there could be an easy solution.
Team Member Specifics: For our different channels of support, we are only able to change the entire team setting. For example, for chats, everyone who is on that team can receive up to 2 chats. For training purposes, it’s typically easier to allow our trainees to take just one at a time, but we do not have control over that.
Routing: no matter how many workarounds or troubleshooting we do, we find that the system just does not route contacts efficiently.,8,Zendesk, Zendesk Chat (formerly Zopim) and Zendesk Talk,8,Shopify, Atlassian Confluence, Zenefits, ShiftboardRachel BlankenshipI would not recommend Kustomer2019-09-19T18:01:44.760ZI've been with Kustomer for a little over 2 years now and cannot recommend it highly enough. While it certainly has had issues in the past with overall functionality, ease of use, and system outages, I would recommend it based on my company's practical use of it as a CRM.,The user interface is clean and easy to use.
It doesn't crash too often.
Allows for easy access to information, sometimes.,It's tough to dig through information.
It does malfunction often to the point where our system is down for hours.
It's not very user-friendly.
Not very intuitive.,3,It's tough to get information quickly.

It is used across several departments, but not the entire organization. It allows us to efficiently communicate with customers, vendors, and some employees while also tracking and keeping a record of every point of contact. Kustomer also allows seamless integration with other services like Facebook Messenger.,User management - Kustomer allows you to define different users in different roles.
Record keeping - Kustomer keeps detailed timestamps of communication and actions taken by users.
Organization - Kustomer allows your to personalize how you organize your searches and information.,Lack of scheduling - It would be nice if Kustomer had an option to schedule text messages or emails to be sent. This would allow users to be more proactive.
Over-complication - Some features can be overcomplicated and hard to use for some users, such as custom search.
Idle time - Kustomer automatically logs you out after a short period of time.,9,It has had a positive impact on customer experience. We're able to quickly respond to a wide variety of customer inquiries.

A different platform for marketing to our partners,Talkdesk, Yesware, Microsoft 365 BusinessVerified UserVery Innovative Omnichannel Solution for Support Teams2019-02-13T21:21:31.795ZWe use Kustomer for our entire Operations department - so 90%+ of the daily tasks multiple departments do are handled in there. We have shared inboxes for our support teams and other incoming tasks like location builds are measured in Kustomer. We also utilize many "collaborator" accounts to give read-only access to the rest of our org, so that they can click in and see exactly the case/details we're referencing in conversations, bug tickets, etc.,Workflows - create webhooks, API endpoints, etc and build out triggers, condition steps and actions. With workflows we pull in user activity, automate some casework (like keeping OOO replies out of the shared inbox) and assign teams/datapoints .
Releasing new features - since we signed with Kustomer they're iterated on a number of features and frankly, release so many new things that we can't even keep up with the advancements. Really impressive work.
The idea of viewing a customer as a whole entity and not just their individual support tickets. In a timeline, you can see purchases made, conversations, NPSS scores, etc. Really bolsters our confidence in judging their value as a consumer when you look at all those datapoints in one place,Navigation for Admins / in Settings - the navigation area of the admin panel has gotten a lot of new additions but they're always just a static list. I'd prefer seeing collapsible categories or items organized alphabetically as a short-term solution
Seemingly untraceable glitches, which require frequent refreshing. It's very odd, but my team has always noticed a certain amount of blank screens or inaccuracies on pages, whcih causes us to not have as much trust in the product and spend our days refreshing a lot. Each time I've submitted support tickets about this, the issue magically disappears and "can't be recreated"
There was definitely a big faux pas recently with them when negotiating a service be added to our suite. The communication from Kustomer was vague & unclear, and rather than letting us feel confident with another solution, they kept biding for our interests until the last possible second - all so that they could pull out in the end and leave us begging to stay on with our current provider with only 15 days' notice,7,Positives: Good price per user and since they natively support omnichannel, it's a great deal. Safe to say we've also been able to realize faster response/resolution times with curated searches, workflows, etc. And I think we've created a better customer experience because we see the customer as a whole instead of fractions (ie, if an irate customer sends one email, then a text an hour later, and another email 20 minutes after that, we can notice that as an indication of their frustration level and respond appropriately [rather than 3 different agents casually handling those 3 separate cases and not acting with as much urgency/care])
Negatives: to be expected, but as the product offerings have expanded and they're bolstered their features & functionality, the price has become less desirable. Especially for handling voice conversations.,Zendesk, Freshdesk and Help Scout,Lesson.ly, Sprout Social, HumanityMeagan McKinnon
