Overall Satisfaction with Help Scout

It is being used by a team of 3 customer service reps for receiving support and questions. Our team assigns the ticket to a person and they handle the discussion with the customer to build a relationship. We either respond to inquiries and close the ticket once satisfied or it escalates to our development team.
  • Track users
  • Set up a knowledge base page for FAQs
  • Fairly easy for team members to get up and running quickly
  • Widget Support - We currently use Olark and have to integrate with Helpscout. Why not all in one system?
  • The UI could be a bit easier for tracking and see what is open, in motion or resolved.
  • Be nice to color code unanswered support tickets and add timers to see response times.
  • Analytics would be helpful to evaluate our customer support responses and success
  • We have just started using the software and it has certainly helped expedite customer inquiries. Excited to see when we get more traffic.
They all had their positives and negatives. For us, it came down to signing a BAA (Zendesk wanted $28,000 to sign one). We enjoy working with vendors who can support healthcare initiates such as we are building.
I am fairly happy with it and it provides a HIPAA compliant layer which is crucial in our business
