Overall Satisfaction with Kustomer

Kustomer is used across the whole organization. The problems it addresses are communication with your accounts through SMS and email. It transfers a ticket to another department if you are unable to resolve the problem.
  • Helps the user to know everything about every customer
  • Communication with all clients through email and text
  • Organized very well between all departments
  • Tickets do not get assigned to the appropriate representative
  • Chats should pop up like Facebook chats
  • We should mark some tickets as high priority because some notes get lost.
  • Faster issue resolution, finishing your work on time
  • Keeping our clients happy and satisfied
  • Able to connect with multiple clients at the same time
  • Troubleshooting--any issues that we have are typically resolved immediately.
The organization has chosen Kustomer, and I believe that they have not made a mistake. I think that Kustomer is easy to use and understand. I have heard about Zendesk but I do not have any experience. In the future, I will definitely recommend people use Kustomer because of our success rate. The mission of Kustomer is being achieved.
Kustomer is a great tool to reach your clients. Emails and text messages get sent out straight away. One of the best aspects of Kustomer is that you are able to see if the email gets opened or not. Another great aspect is that clients can rate your service. You are able to see where you have provided excellent service and where you need improvement.

Using Kustomer

950 - They represent account management, customer support, data entry, finance
3 - They have to have a faculty of information and basic skills in programming. They help whenever we have issues with Kustomer and try to resolve the problem ASAP.
  • Transferring a ticket to other departments
  • Tagging another representative on a note
  • Snoozing a ticket
  • Different departments work together to resolve issues
  • We need tickets to be marked as important so they do not get lost.
  • Kustomer needs to integrate with Viber or WhatsApp.
  • Live chat needs to improve so you are able to chat with multiple clients at the same time.
  • The ability to send larger files via email and text
  • The ability to open multiple tickets at the same time
I believe at this time, Kustomer is doing a good job. I really love its functionality at the moment.

Evaluating Kustomer and Competitors

  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
I will still evaluate the product as before. The usability as well as the interaction are excellent. The product is really good and it's also very user friendly.

Kustomer Implementation

I would say I am very satisfied with the use and the main keys regarding the implementation of Kustomer.
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - They have made minor changes to how the tickets get resolved. Other than that, the organization has left the product as is.
  • Manual self-assigned tickets
  • Implementing different types of codes
  • System overload

Kustomer Training

  • Online training
  • in-person training
  • no training
No one has helped me or trained me in person.
The best training I did was online. Videos teach as well as explain how everything works and what Kustomer's functions are.
It takes time to learn without training but at the end of the day, it is much easier than other products on the market. Everything takes time but Kustomer overall is very easy to use.

Configuring Kustomer

I do not believe the product configurability is too limited. I think that it is right for this type of product. There are some other systems that are too extensive and Kustomer is not that.
No - we have not done any custom code

Kustomer Support

ProsCons
Quick Resolution
Knowledgeable team
Immediate help available
Poor followup
Problems left unsolved
Escalation required
Need to explain problems multiple times
Slow Initial Response
Yes - Kustomer tickets do not mark as done sometimes. Also, Kustomer is usually slow and it is not due to the Wi-fi.
Whenever we have had issues with Kustomer, the customer support has responded within minutes. They have told us where the issue is and how fast it will be resolved. That is excellent customer support.

Using Kustomer

ProsCons
Like to use
Well integrated
Feel confident using
Unnecessarily complex
Difficult to use
Requires technical support
Inconsistent
Cumbersome
  • Creating a ticket
  • Sending a text or email
  • Snoozing a ticket
  • Transferring a ticket
  • Updating information
  • Merging accounts
  • Saving data
Because it is easy to use as well as it serves as a very important tool for communication. It merges with different applications and there are no issues like other platforms.

Kustomer Reliability

I gave it a 10 rating because it is very helpful and the availability is there when needed. I have never had issues with application errors or unplanned outages so far.
Kustomer Performances need improvement. The pages do load very slowly but that might be because of the information they carry. If Kustomer integrates with other software or systems it does slow the performance. They need to find a solution to this.

Integrating Kustomer

Depending on what you want to integrate it with, Kustomer is open to integrate with pretty much what their clients need.
  • Facebook
  • Admin or main work office website
  • Salesforce
It is not as difficult as it seems. You just need to know the right information so there will not be any major issues moving forward.
  • Viber
  • WhatsApp
  • Instagram
  • File import/export
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
  • Javascript widgets
My only advice is that, hopefully, Kustomer can keep this momentum running because they are doing a pretty good job.

Relationship with Kustomer, Inc.

I gave them this rating because it is very easy to use during the sales process. The client has everything they need to start their business on this platform.
It is very to use and work after the sale. There have been no issues so far.
The best advice I have is to be patient. That is the most effective way to deal with the vendor. You have to know what they need in order to be successful.

Upgrading Kustomer

  • Integrating with a new platform
  • Signing in through email
  • Able to check recent work
  • To be able to resolve the problem much faster
  • Able to help clients with easier steps
  • Able to receive chat, SMS, and email much quicker
