Overall Satisfaction with Freshchat
As an Ed-Tech Start-up, we provide courses on various topics like App development, website development (Frontend and Backend), Cloud, graphic designing, UI/UX, and many more. For us, client satisfaction is a prime motto, and solving their issues, helping them in their difficulties is necessary. Earlier the clients (mainly students, speakers and instructors) used to contact us via email or, in urgent cases, call us. While calling resolves issues immediately, the problem with the calling feature was we used to get a lot of spam calls. It wasted our time and also reduced the chances so solving important issues. The next option was through email, where we wanted to solve issues immediately. But with a large no of queries, and solving them manually becomes a tedious task, we wanted something that could give [us an] instant solution and which can help us separate spam messages from the relevant ones. That is when we started using tools like Freshchat, Intercom, Tawk and Live Chat

As an organization which has used over 5-6 customer Live Chat softwares, it becomes easy to tell which software can be used for which situation.
tawk.to is great in terms of ease of use, setup, dashboard and customer support. Intercom is great in terms of features like notification, targeted emails and database. Live Chat is again useful in terms of ease of use, setup, admin usage and quality of support. Zendesk is mainly used by Mid-market businesses (due to its pricing) though I won't say start-ups don't use, since we had the opportunity to use it for over 6-8 months.

Evaluating Freshchat and Competitors
Yes - We have used over 5-6 Live Chat softwares, just to get a better idea of which one actually works well for our business. We have two websites [two different products] and both of them have used different chat software. Fresh chat has been in use for a very long time, in fact I have used it in one of my previous organizations too.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Prior Experience with the Product
One of the most important factor of choosing a new product is whether it matches your criteria and usage. Can it help you solve the existing issues from other products in use. Although I was not involved in the selection process, I think using Fresh chat has been a great experience and is really helpful.
I was not involved in the selection criteria, but with my previous experience I would have also suggested Fresh chat to my team. It has done a great job and I feel everyone in my team also felt the same. Fresh chat can be a very handy tool for any customer support team and I think everyone must try it once.
