Support admins who've been running Conversational Support tools for a while tend to keep using some platforms far more consistently than others, and G2's adoption data shows a real gap between the top performers and the category average.
- Gladly (4.7/5, 1,114 reviews) posts the highest average user adoption in the category at 92%, well above the category average of 71%, and reviewers consistently describe it as keeping every channel in one continuous thread that agents actually rely on day to day. Its reviewer base is mostly mid-market (51-1,000 employees), and the tradeoff several mention is a real learning curve during initial setup before that daily habit kicks in.
- Kustomer (4.4/5, 566 reviews) shows 86% average adoption, and reviewers point to its unified customer timeline as the feature that keeps admins coming back, since it removes the need to piece together history across tools. Its base also skews mid-market, and the recurring caveat is a knowledge base and reporting suite that several reviewers say lag behind the rest of the platform.
- Talkdesk (4.4/5, 2,599 reviews) reaches 84% adoption, with reviewers crediting its Copilot layer, call recordings, and reporting for making it something admins check constantly rather than just during onboarding. Its reviewer base is heaviest in mid-market (51-1,000 employees) organizations, and the honest caveat is occasional call-routing reliability issues that a few reviewers say affect service-level metrics.
For a team measuring success by day-90 usage rather than day-one setup, does raw adoption percentage matter more than which specific habit (unified timeline, continuous thread, AI copilot) is driving it?
I see a lot of potential in HighLevel, but I’m running into constant glitches and it feels like about half the features have bugs or other issues. Support will open a ticket, but then I don’t hear back, and the software isn’t usable for me right now. If you’ve dealt with similar problems, what helped you reduce failures or get support to actually follow up?
I can understand why it might feel that way at first, especially if you're using a lot of the platform's features simultaneously. My experience has been quite different because we invested time in setting things up properly and following best practices instead of building everything in one go.
A few things that have made HighLevel very stable for us:
- We keep snapshots and test changes first. Before making major workflow or funnel changes, we test them in a duplicate environment. This has prevented most issues from reaching production.
- We avoid unnecessary workflow complexity. Rather than one massive workflow with dozens of branches, we split automations into smaller, modular workflows. They're easier to troubleshoot and perform more consistently.
- We use native features wherever possible. Native integrations tend to be more reliable than chaining together multiple third-party tools unless there's a specific need.
- We stay on top of updates. HighLevel ships new features and fixes very frequently. While that means occasional regressions can happen, it also means bugs are often resolved quickly. Reading release notes and knowing about feature changes has helped us avoid surprises.
- We follow recommended implementation practices. Things like keeping custom values organised, avoiding duplicate triggers, validating calendars and phone settings, and testing before going live have significantly reduced issues.
No SaaS platform is completely bug-free—especially one that evolves as quickly as HighLevel—but in my experience, most of the challenges I've encountered have been configuration-related rather than platform-breaking bugs. Once the account is structured well, it's been reliable enough to support day-to-day CRM, automation, communications, and client management without major disruption.
For me, the flexibility HighLevel offers outweighs the occasional issue, and the pace at which the team releases improvements has been a big positive.
