## Keeping Reviews
  ### 1. Great way to integrate ticketing into GSuite

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew D. | IT Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Keeping?**

The seamless integration into GSuite, the automatic setup, and the ability to keep track of issues.

**What do you dislike about Keeping?**

Not a very good mobile solution, but that's about it

**What problems is Keeping solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping staff on the same page when working through customer issues by being able to search a customer name and see all the interactions in the same place.

  ### 2. UX isn't great

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Keeping?**

The integration with Google Workspace was easy to set up.

**What do you dislike about Keeping?**

I found it difficult to keep track of the back and forth and review the status of a ticket. It didn't seem to refresh in real time, and we ended up with a lot of confusion around what had been responded to and what hadn't. I also found the internal note system not at all useful because it wasn't really clear when there was an internal note that needed to be reviewed. Overall, the system was clunky and caused more problems than it solved.

**What problems is Keeping solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were trying to solve the problem of making sure support requests went to the correct person; however, it didn't help at all. In fact, it made support more confusing.

  ### 3. Great tool to track and share support emails with other colleagues.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Keeping?**

I like the integration with gmail and how it looks like a separate inbox. I also like that I can communicate with other resources on each email/ticket.

**What do you dislike about Keeping?**

I don't like the notification system. It just a small red dot on the 'K' logo that is supposed to indicate to me that there is something new. Wish this was better.

**What problems is Keeping solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamlining the process to support our clients. As we are growing, this integration has helped us better communicate and track who is working on what.

  ### 4. Keeping Track of these Emails

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Keeping?**

Assigning tools so eyes are where they need to be is an excellent feature for a shared inbox.

**What do you dislike about Keeping?**

Looks a bit cluttered so it takes time to get used to it.

**What problems is Keeping solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had a shared inbox that multiple people had to manage, this streamlines inbound emails so they are handled by who needs to handle them instead of having them sit around for a few days.

  ### 5. Got us on the same page

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jordan P. | Marketing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2021

Helps our customer service team stay on top of inquiries and recognize when an issue has been handled.

We have not recognized any downsides to Keeping.

**What problems is Keeping solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our team is able to have clear communication with each other and customers.

  ### 6. Light option for business email - works great!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Keeping?**

I like that the system is simple and is not a cumbersome email system. With larger systems, there are many features most organizations won't use that they'll have to pay for.

**What do you dislike about Keeping?**

There are some system quirks that require work arounds. Reporting is limited, I'd love to see this grow in the future.

**What problems is Keeping solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easier usability and less gmail work arounds with our shared service email inbox.
