Overall Satisfaction with Kayako

The download version is excellent software and has many great features for supporting customers via email, telephone, and live chat.
  • Customer Service Tickets
  • Live Chat Functionality
  • Terrible Customer Service
  • Overpriced Support Charges For Existing Customers
  • Many Bugs - Requiring An Expensive Support Agreement
  • The cost is extremely high for existing customers and the new charges for support and upgrades are excessive.
It is well suited for anyone requiring an easy to set up helpdesk. For existing customers on perpetual licenses, the new charging strategy that Kayako has forced is extremely expensive and results in loss of license if now paid on an annual basis. Perpetual doesn’t mean perpetual at Kayako.
