What do you like best about FreshChat?

Freshchat has been a game-changer for us at Kalki Fashion, providing an easy-to-use platform that integrates perfectly with our website. The chatbot automation has significantly improved our customer service efficiency. The ease of use, combined with its rich features like detailed reporting and analytics, has made tracking our customer support performance simple. Additionally, their customer support team is responsive and proactive, ensuring issues are resolved swiftly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

The platform is robust, but there's always room for improvement. Occasionally, navigating through some of the more advanced features can be tricky without proper guidance. An enhanced knowledge base or more intuitive user tutorials for complex features would be a helpful addition.

Also, I had a very bad experience with their management regarding the refund last year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshchat helps us manage customer inquiries in real time, ensuring quick responses and improving customer satisfaction. The detailed reporting and analytics give us valuable insights into customer behavior, enabling us to continuously optimize our support processes. Overall, it has streamlined our customer communication, enhanced efficiency, and improved our service quality, leading to higher customer retention and loyalty.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

I appreciate the ability to create topics in multiple languages, allowing us to personalize chat conversations based on our clients' needs. A great feature our team uses daily is the chatbot, which collects essential customer data and connects them to our agents with all the necessary information. This significantly reduces the time it takes for agents to assist customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I needed some time to get used to the analytics in FreshChat. I believe this is an area that could be improved – I would appreciate more interactive reports and easier options for exporting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We created chatbot flows that help solve common issues, such as:

'I need to add tests to my visit' – by providing step-by-step instructions on how to add them;

'I need to schedule a new visit' – similarly, by showing how to do it;

'How can I use my consultation?' – by guiding users to the necessary information and explaining how to schedule a meeting.

This benefits our team by reducing the number of conversations forwarded to them, allowing them more time to focus on more complex tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

Intelliassign per agent group assigning agents automatically is nice.

So is the "create ticket" to either fresh desk or fresh service feature.

Freshbot feature to customize customer support.

Knowledge base importation was a life safer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

"Comercial Time" overrides the "Offline Experience" text, making it so that offline experiences text wont show after the comercial time set.

Freshbot sometimes is limiting and has a couple bugs. Example being a ticket I opened in which it was explained to trigger a logic flow on web widget, id first need a message send from the customer, whereas on the WhatsApp version, i can load up a logic as soon as the bot is triggered. Though the recent custom javascript adicion is a good step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Through the channels feature, we are able to receive Our customers questions either via WhatsApp for their comfort, Or via web widget, on our fresh desk support website.

And using fresh chat helps out since we can transfer a conversation over to our main Tickets based customer support portal, that being Freshdesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

I really appreciate the Freshchat customer support. They're always available when needed and provide instant assistance. I also enjoy the upgraded version of Freshchat with additional features that make it much easier to access statistics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

There's no particular issue I dislike about Freshchat, but I would suggest improving the notification system. It would be beneficial if we could improve the home page of the chat interface, as it could use an upgrade to better meet current needs.

We're also looking forward to the addition of some advanced features soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshchat makes it easy for users to communicate with us; they can simply reach out and get help with just a message.

It is beneficial for our company from a customer-centric perspective, as our users can connect with us 24/7 if they have any issues or queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

I get an opportunity to also ask or continue with a discussion with our customer(reporters) and have a clear undersanding of what is expected from our organisation. You also can choose to be online or offline while working out conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

I would have preferred freshchat to pick up a spam number and give out one conversation and not many chats or creating multiple tickets for the same contact details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the end of each conversation the chatbot is able to create or gives out a ticket number to our users(Whistleblowers), which helps us track conversations and also when we require detailed information we can continue chating from an already existing Ticket or Chat.

What do you like best about FreshChat?

It's free to try and can be integrated with your webpage. A lot of automation can be added, let it be an initial response, collecting details when the agent is not available, bot suggestions, resolving and creating or merging with an existing one, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Auto naming of users when they do not share their details. It doesn't seem professional. In-built integration with Whatsapp should be provided in the free version too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customers usually come to our knowledgebase for self-service and when they did not find an answer their too, they are now able to directly chat with us with the widget we have added. Previously, customers may drop out loosing interest if they did not find what they are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freshchat is used in many organizations where I have worked, and it is a really efficient way to use the feature because it is convenient, simple to use, and highly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshChat?

Such problems don't exist in my opinion, and it really does reduce the amount of effort. In that situation, the Intelliassign is the best alternative because it is the best option in terms of work, as I will discuss below. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreshChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Yes, it is one of the best option one organization could have, I personally prefer the Intelli Assign the best option, in my organization we used to sufer to reach out FRT but as per using the IntelliAssign is my personal favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
