While Gladly aims to streamline customer service, some might find its features overwhelming or complex to navigate initially. The learning curve could be a bit steep for those accustomed to simpler systems, requiring time and effort to fully grasp its functionalities. Additionally, for smaller businesses with limited resources, the cost of implementing Gladly might be a deterrent, especially if they're seeking more budget-friendly options for customer service management.

The most helpful about gladly is the fact that you can go back to previous interactions you've had and also set a task to follow up with customers in case you need too and they stay on the left side with easy access too. Now with the new updates, you get a timer for when you will be receiving a new phone call, helps you be prepared in time. It is also really easy to use now and you are also able to check out how your coworkers are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I don't like about Gladly are the notifications sounds we get. if you could update it to a bit more friendly sounds it would be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can manage chat, phone and email without switching screens. You can leave detailed notes regarding the conversations, and the best part is the tasks that can be assigned depending on their importance.
As an admin, the amount of data that you can get it is astounding! It is difficult to understand it, but once you've learned on how to pull the information, the details to each interaction is insurmountable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that you can get both a chat and a call if the cx contacts you through those two it's not good. The timelines are too long and the font can be too small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that it does not need to install any other tools, all the calls and chats and emails can be easily handled within the same platform and with the same credentials. I have also enjoyed the recent addition of AI assistance within the tool to rephrase text we send to customers, this and the call summaries are really handy in many situations we encounter.

I think it would be helpful to have a feature that helps us comply with our QA requirements, as well as a personal notebook where we can save our own templates or helpful texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that the database is cutomer driven so you can have all of their contact from all different channels show in one place. That makes it easier to see the big picture from the customer's point of view. It allows you to capture the tone of the customer as well as resolve the different channel contacts all in one convenient conversation. The addition of AI including Grammerly is just amazing. I use these features many times everyday. They make my job so much easier, allow our team as a whole to respond to customers quicker and provide better service along with more professional or friendly sounding responses. The spell check feature ensures that we never respond to a customer with incorrect spellings also. Part of our customer care team is based over seas and these are vital tools for ESL agents.

I do not like the notifications that come across the top of the screen when you click next to get a new inquiry, it blocks the inquiry information that I am currently working on and is annoying. That is pretty much my only complaint though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few things I enjoy about gladly like the ease of viewing reporting, and the interface itself is very easy to use. I also love Gladly Answers, and how agents have the ability to view reference information while helping customers in one system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few things I think Gladly could still improve on.
Feedback For Gladly
- Showing agents’ name on the front end when customers are chatting in with them
- Being able to assign answer audiences at an agent level when logged into admin, or a group level
- When looking at agents in Live boards, In the list of agents, you cannot see who is on what team, like if you had all teams assigned to you, in the list, there are no criteria that show what team they are on
- When transferring a chat to a specific agent, in Gladly, you are not able to see if they are available or not. Having their name as green or something would be helpful to know if they were available for that conversation type (or maybe just chat).
- Being able to add a Hyperlink in a chat conversation message
- Being able to have a customer or agent send a chat transcript to the customer
- Being able to change idle time based on team groups, or some other factor than it being universal
- Being able to change your agent status / if you are available for a specific channel when on a call. Right now, if an agent ends a call, they might possibly get a new call if they are not fast enough to change their availability for channels.
- Having personal saved versions of Liveboards, like having different versions of a Liveboards with different teams and inboxes selected.
- Being able to enter in dashes when searching phone numbers in the search bar.
- Having agent names visible when chatting
- Priority level for tasks
- Only agents who are assigned a conversation should be able to respond, otherwise when an agent is on a conversation and declines, it stays there, and another agent could accept, but it looks like it may be assigned to the first agent, and then they can see that conversation. Only like an admin level should be able to write in those chats or emails if it’s not assigned to them. (I think it may be set this way because they are assigned to that inbox and if someone is gone then someone else can go in and respond to that).
- Be able to add scheduled holiday time for chats to be open, like the IVR.
- Ability to duplicate rules to create other rules off of, or change them for specific agents
- Reporting for answers to be able to combine data for who is using what report at what specific time, and to show the actual agent name and not the agent ID Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how simple and modern the interface is. My company has a few older folks that were used to using Five9 for years and when we switched to Gladly they were hesitant that they would be able to learn it, but the UI makes the switch over so much easier than we expected.

When you have a chat or call come in, the banner blocks the options to go unavailable for calls and chats unless you decline the conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I can call on help from right there within Gladly. It is very easy to navigate also. I like that I can go back and add notes. The way that if a customer is already in the system I can merge the account and and work from there with updating accounts. I like how I have plenty of room to put why I made the decisions I made to help the customer. I just really like the Gladly app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I truly do not have any complaints about Gladly at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Gladly is trying to make customer service better. Our team has the opportunity to view customer interactions and respond quickly to inquiries through the platform’s simple interface. I really like it’s integration with our CRM and ticketing systems removing a step in our workflow. With this integration we are ready to have all the essential information on hand and be enabled to offer tailor made support to our clients and build strong relations with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I don’t like about Gladly is how it doesn’t have more robust reporting functionality. It gives you some basic analytics but getting in depth insights enough for complete performance assessment could be difficult. This limits our ability to improve our support strategies on a faster cycle. Furthermore, the options for customizing reports narrows the way in which we view our data and not to mention pinpointing exactly what needs to improve about our customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do like that gladly is focused on the person you are interacting with outside of the company, rather than the interaction itself. It consolidates all user information for an individual in one place. That way, you can see every email and phone call made from one user all in one place. In theory this is amazing, but it's clearly hard to put it into action, even though Gladly tries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very time consuming to add notes, tasks, lists, topics, etc. Spending so much time on a single user does take away from time that could be used doing something else. I also would like the ability to save conversations as a PDF file, for dispute evidence submissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like how different features in Gladly enhance team work as more people get to see the details of the interactions with customers. This lets any agent come in and request about a conversation and be certain that they’re coming into context and remain servicing individual solutions that are excellent and coherent. It has reduced the time issues and has made it easier for the team to act in unison and it has served customers’ perception of our support quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main challenge here is that implementing a new team member on all of Gladly’s features takes a while, which make onboarding not so efficient. So, it’s inherently feature rich and with a lot to learn, which can strain the early training of the product. Sometimes this has also resulted in slower team adoption which has led to full team productivity not being achieved immediately and putting extra work on today’s staff meanwhile.
