SmileBack has established itself as a reliable and widely-used CSAT tool, with users relying on it to gather customer feedback for every client interaction. This real-time feedback not only provides an indication of performance but also highlights areas that need attention, enabling companies to improve their service delivery and customer care. The seamless integration of SmileBack with ticketing systems like ConnectWise Manage simplifies the feedback process for clients, offering a user-friendly interface and the option to provide additional details if desired.

One of the standout features of SmileBack is its integration with BrightGauge, which enhances visibility into customer feedback and satisfaction metrics for the entire company. This integration allows organizations to closely monitor and analyze satisfaction levels, while keeping records of feedback, follow-up work, and conversations within their ticketing systems. The simplicity of SmileBack's smiley face rating system encourages clients to provide feedback and enables prompt follow-up on any concerns raised. As a result, support teams can quickly assess their performance, address issues, and ultimately strengthen customer relationships based on real-time feedback from clients. Furthermore, SmileBack's reports and insights prove invaluable during customer business reviews, providing crucial information that drives continuous improvement in organizations.

Companies utilizing SmileBack have experienced significant increases in feedback rates compared to previous methods. For instance, one user reported a jump from less than 1% to around 20% feedback rate after implementing SmileBack. This substantial increase in engagement allows businesses to gauge customer satisfaction accurately, measure CSAT scores across the entire company, and identify areas for improvement in various service departments. By leveraging SmileBack's data insights, organizations can also coach employees based on customer responses and proactively address customer needs to strengthen overall service quality.

Overall, SmileBack has become an essential tool for measuring key performance indicators - KPIs - and customer satisfaction outside of traditional business relationship management. Its wide range of applications includes gathering customer ratings for service tickets, tracking CSAT scores, monitoring trends, and following up on neutral or negative responses. By utilizing SmileBack, companies can improve their service delivery, enhance employee performance, and build stronger customer relationships based on real-time feedback and insights.

Users have made several recommendations for the product based on their experiences. One recommendation is to consider customizable feedback icons and widgets, as users believe that having the ability to customize these elements would enhance the user experience and make it more personalized. Another recommendation is to provide more detailed reporting options. While users find the current key performance indicators (KPIs) helpful, they would like to see additional reporting and data/statistics to gain more insights and make informed decisions. Additionally, users suggest trying the product with a free trial to see if it improves response rates. This allows potential customers to experience the effectiveness of the product firsthand before making a purchase decision. Overall, users recommend using this product as they find it effective. They also emphasize the importance of getting it quickly to start benefiting from its features and functionalities.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We use SmileBack's integration with ConnectWise to request feedback from service desk customers. As soon as a technician closes out a ticket that user is asked to review their experience. It's addressing any lack of completion or poor customer service issues. It allows us to establish a trend and establish organization-wide goals for customer satisfaction.
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Ease of integration
  • Rapid report generation
  • I'd like to have more customization options for the survey
  • I'd like to see more than three options.
  • Five smiley faces would be great.
  • For customer relationship management software like ConnectWise where you would like to gauge customer satisfaction with interaction.
  • Any help desk scenario where you want the customer to easily be able to rate performance.

We use SmileBack surveys through our ticketing system (ConnectWise Manage). Everytime our helpdesk closes a ticket, an e-mail is sent to the ticket contact and they can select from the 3 smiley faces and leave comments. We get notified if the client is unhappy. Also, this integrates with BrightGauge so that we can see the survey results along with other service metrics important to us. Not only does our helpdesk use this to gauge feedback but the whole company sees this on our displays and management loves it! Because of the integration of SmileBack into BrightGauge, we get even more visibility into our customers' feedback!
  • Integration into other business software
  • Ease of use
  • Quick setup
  • Set it and forget it
  • Lightening fast support!
  • I would really like to be able to expand to 5 options. I've had some clients I resell this to and they requested it. Would be nice as an option.
SmileBack is suited for any situation where you are wanting to gauge your client base and ask for feedback unbiased! Any customer service-oriented business could use a tool like this!
  • We send our clients executive summaries monthly - being able to show not just their KPIs but also the health of surveys to the main contact the reason they hired us and the CSAT scores/comments, it is nearly instant ROI each and every single month. Well worth it.
Manage has its own built-in surveys, but not customizable at all. Once we came across SmileBack, we didn't search for anything else. We just knew the tool was for us!

We are currently using SmileBack to track and measure CSAT scores across our entire company for our Service group (consisting of IT, Facilities and EH&S). We are using it to determine areas of improvement for our Services group.
  • SmileBack has a very good, easy to use dashboard. Their reporting is simple and effective.
  • I particularly like how easy it is to see user comments and response to the survey's being sent.
  • The users really like how quick and easy it is to provide direct feedback without complicated response mechanism or lengthy questions.
  • I would like to see a mobile app developed soon allowing managers and users of the tool be able to have access to the management portal.
SmileBack is a great tool for measuring CSAT scores and easily integrates with ITSM tools.
  • We have only been using it a few months now and have not had any tangible ROI to date.
I reviewed two other tools and quickly chose this based solely on the the ease of implementation, end user interface, and the management portal.
