  • Zendesk Chat has triggers, where we can automate responses if the chat is idle nor if the chat is reconnected etc.
  • Zendesk Chat does have three aux options, Available, Away, and Invisible. We can use the Invisible option if all the agents are hopping for a huddle/meeting, where the customers will get an alert stating that no agents are available, and they'll get an option to drop an email instead of waiting.
  • Agent can instantly see their CSAT review for the chats that were handled, as an admin, I can limit this access to "individually or everyone."
  • When agents handle multiple chats, all the chats will have the same colour code in Zendesk, instead, if we have unique colour for each chats, it'll helpful for agents. This will prevent incorrect responses that were meant for a different customer.
  • Chat Timer, In Zendesk Chat it shows the time exact as per our location, however, if we have a timer that starts form 0 seconds, it will be helpful for agents to keep up on their AHT.
  • More Aux options like Break 1, Break 2, Meeting, etc., would be helpful for the managers as well as the users.

  • Enable costumers to contact us faster.
  • Enable us to solve costumers issues faster.
  • Enable the costumer satisfaction to increase.
  • When someone is working on 2 or more chats at the same time, sometimes it crashes.
  • The 'ring' of new chats coming in is annoying and distracting.
  • Sometimes what was written to be sent in one chat disappears.

  • Automatic ticket creation that contains the chat's transcript
  • Automatic replies when the wait time reaches certain limits
  • Ability to transfer the chat to another user
  • Linking with a telephone, so the agent is only working on 1 channel at a time
  • More simplified way to create and use templates
  • Link users who may have provided us a new/different email from what we have on file for them

  • Extremely fluid chat interface allows for easy communication.
  • It can be used directly on a website page or as a widget.
  • Allows the end user to translate the chat into their own native language.
  • Notifies you with pending chats via on-screen notifications and sound effects.
  • Multiple chat interface, allow us to have multiple screens open at the same time as opposed to just one chat at a time.
  • Allow the customer's chat screen to move along to the new pages they navigate to while chatting with sales/support, the window will close abruptly otherwise.
  • Different user interface colors would be a nice bonus.

  • Zendesk is very straightforward and easy to navigate. A non-technical person can work without any issue. It is very easy to write and answer tickets in the system.
  • It has an awesome user interface. Zendesk is easy to set up and configure.
  • It allows me to create macros. I can also create mother and parent tickets in Zendesk.
  • Unable to edit a reply once delivered.
  • Zendesk support is quite expensive for a normal user.
  • Zendesk does not have network monitoring either.

  • Demonstrates the guests as of now on the site with all essential data like the nation they are, OS they are utilizing and if it's a returning guest.
  • It's anything but difficult to utilize, the UI is insignificant and straight to the point.
  • Ongoing provider following i.e the quantity of dynamic providers and sit still ones.
  • Zendesk/Zoopim is right around an entire Live visit programming .There isn't an approach to compel the client to answer certain inquiries preceding entering the talk. The talk transcripts some of the time take long to appear in the visit history .
  • Exhausting outline for the talk message box
  • No work area warnings
  • Warning sound just played once. Since we are not at the front counter constantly, it would make our work more troublesome since we expected to continue checking the site.
  • No portable application
  • In the event that we shut program window we would be promptly disconnected.

  • Zopim analytics allow us to understand our customer satisfaction rating and report on chat volumes across various time frames.
  • Zopim connects with our product to allow us better visibility into our visitors path through our site to better service them and quickly understand their questions and rectify their issues.
  • The chat functionality has seamless usability for our customers as well as our agents that are managing our chats.
  • Because we use both Zendesk and Zopim, it would be much more efficient to manage both interfaces from within one product. This includes managing agents as well as managing tickets and chats from within one interface rather than two.

  • Interface is simple and easy to navigate, macros are convenient to use, and you're able to view how many customers are using the software/online as well as who's clicked on the chat button before they enter any information.
  • Support tickets created within Zendesk support after a Zopim chat ends allows us to send transcripts to customers and follow up.
  • Multiple chats at once.
  • Sometimes servers are down (not too often).
  • Only a certain number of chatters (technical support specialists) are able to be enabled in zopim at a time. This may be due to our plan level, but if another TSS needs to hop in for someone, they have to be enabled first.
  • The new update/layout makes it a bit more difficult to toggle between multiple chats.

  • A lot of nice features that allow us to customize the experience that we want to give our customers in terms of branding, functionality, and handling
  • Zopim does a great job with providing business process capabilities and routing features that help with managing our workflow, workforce management, and business processes
  • Zopim is also very easy to use, easy to set up, and easy to understand especially from an agent UI, providing a great opportunity to increase agent efficiency and usefulness
  • Agent administration is severely lacking in Zopim. I would love for my agents to have different roles which give them access to some of the features and functionality, but not all of it. At this time it seems like they either have all or none.
  • Although Zopim provides a vast array of options for its chat capabilities, only the elite plan has the ability to change every portion of its design. I wish that it wouldn't cost so much to access those premium features.
  • Zopim reporting is very hard to retrieve unless you have the highest plan. Agents cannot access reporting unless they are admins. The reporting information is not as robust as it should be.

  • Triggers - they let you complete actions based on various information.
  • Shortcuts - Super helpful way to send pre-canned messages.
  • I wish I could see a preview of the customer's message before he sends it.
