Overall Satisfaction with ClickDesk

Simplicity is the first option to choose ClickDesk. Before moving to ClickDesk we had 4-5 trials of other top competitors. Those had too many complex terms and were hard to maintain. We were searching for a chat system that we could completely customize and easily install with our website. Our website provides live support to non-users and registered customers. We had been looking for a chat system that allows us to use information from our database when any user is chatting with live support. Using our own theme was another priority as well. They met our needs so perfectly, it was easy to set up and bring live support online. It includes features to add departments, agents, segments, macros, and much more. They have a very open customization facility; we loved it. On the other hand reports and configuration with CMS and major CRM was pretty easy. They also have a cell phone app, Facebook page chat and Google Chrome plugin for live support. Offline ticketing system is useful too. Voice call, file sharing, user desktop screenshot and a lot of other services can be listed.
  • They have a simple agent panel, your agents don't have to be a pro tech to manage their agent panel.
  • They also have a simple ticking system along with live chat, it's not huge but it does work.
  • Easy to implement with well known knowledgeable and CMS.
  • They don't have a cell phone app for iOS yet.
  • They could make it work with Slack.
  • Since we started offering live customer support and support ticketing our clients have become more interested.
  • ClickDesk also helped us to turn our visitors into customers. Easy to see who is visiting our website and where they are from.
  • When agents are offline clickdesk doesn't create an automatic ticket for user queries. This is really a negative impact, hopefully, they will fix this soon.
As I mentioned earlier, these competitors are good but they are too complex to manage by a non-tech person. Before deciding to buy clickdesk we tried 4-5 other competitors. Intercom was pretty easy too but also had a considerably complex panel for agents. A few of our departments are not that computer savvy. So we had to pick the easiest service we could find.
This thing is good for a small business and people who don't know a lot about tech. Not sure if ClickDesk will work for businesses like FedEx or others.
