What do you like best?

I appreciate that you can access real time feedback that is both useful and shareable. We import that feedback on our website for social proof, so that our customers can have insight into the quality of work we do and the quality of people that we have on staff. We've always love the reporting that we get from SmileBack, but the new reporting system is top notch and hits it out of the park! Love the clear data that you are able to utilize from SmileBack.

"Excellent Tool for increasing customer satisfaction"

What do you like best?

The statistics and insight provided by issuing the customer surveys.

We send ours out with the 3 smiley faces and we've had a generally positive response with some clients responding to every request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

Only issue would be the view of who actually worked on a ticket, but this is more an issue of internal process that something that the smileback app would necessarily solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We use the tool for three purposes:

Address customer complaints: If someone is unhappy they may not respond to an engineer but we've found they are happy to use the red face to express dissatisfaction. We can then follow up and take notes on what they were disappointed with.

Gauge satisfaction for each client: We can see generally how people are feeling from the CSAT scores.

Nurture competition and provide incentive to provide the best service possible. We internally run a competition based upon the scores each engineer achieves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Tool to measure Customer Satisfaction"

What do you like best?

The simplicity of the actions needed by customers makes this a winner. We went from 7-8 percent return to over 40 percent return just by switching to Smileback. Their support is quick to respond if and when you need them. Overall this product is very well thought out and works great for gathering feedback from customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

The reporting function for technicians is lacking and needs to be improved upon. There seems to be a misunderstanding of what is important to report on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Try it. With their free trial you have nothing to lose. in 30 days our response rate increased by over 20 percent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We want to know how our customers think about our service. This has allowed us to change how we work with customers focusing on improving these scores. This has allowed us to greatly improve our relationship with our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smileback - making music for Orchestra Software"

What do you like best?

Smileback has simplified our CSAT experience for both internal and external users. We love seeing instant feedback and being able to review together as a team has helped us understand what we can do better. Bonus you ask? Getting to send kudos to the team on a daily basis when reviews come in. Love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

That we can't immediately integrate Smileback with our other platforms for a consistent user feedback experience across our departments. We're ready for it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are now able to gain key performance insight for our Customer Support team on a consistent basis. Team morale is up and customers are responding 5x more than they were before.

"Great tool for simple surveys"

What do you like best?

Simple response questions which users are more likely to respond, it's easier to choose Happy, Neutral, or Negative over rating on a numerical scale Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

So far haven't really found any dislikes with the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Getting a real feel of our client satisfaction, users are more likely to answer a quick survey when they are a little upset or unhappy over submitting a complaint. Usually the complaints come if a user has a number of smaller issues that built up. This allows us to catch issues early and work with the end user to improve our internal staff and our relationship with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game changer in surveys"

What do you like best?

How easy it is for our clients to use...

Instant change in Feedback

Easy to integrate into our ticketing system

Integrates into our reporting/dashboard tool, BrightGauge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

Not really a dislike, but reporting could be better. They keep tweaking so I assume this will continue to get better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Before Smileback, we used to get 3 or 4 reviews a year. After 6 months of use, we average about 7 a day. This really lets us know where we stand and the negative reviews gives us a chance to go right our wrongs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An effective CSAT tool"

What do you like best?

It's nice and easy to use, both from our and customers' perspective. We've only been using it for two months, and have seen response rate from single digit with our previous tool to 23% in the first month and now sitting around 39%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

Notes added by us to the reviews are not synchronised to our PSA - ConnectWise. This is a major oversight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

SmileBack helps us better gauge customer satisfaction, and we are able to quantify customer satisfaction, which we can use to share with customers and prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Product"

What do you like best?

Simple solutions are often the best. This one meets that criteria on both ends. User and customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

SmileBack needs to expand it's market. We have multiple divisions in different industries and both the ConnectWise and SmileBack products could double, quadruple, or even more their market share by making just a few additions to their software design to accommodate more than just the MSP/IT space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Take advantage of this product. You won't be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

SmileBack can address so many issues its impossible to list them in this little box. If you understand the concept of consistency and accountability to achieve a high level of customer service and satisfaction, you'll see this product as a tool to 'tweak' almost every department within your company.

"Top survey tool"

What do you like best?

Hard to choose - TWO things: 1.) I like that this solution is set it and forget it. It just works. 2.) It integrates with our other software, ConnectWise Manage and Brightgauge. Win-win! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

Honestly, have not found a single thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Gauging client satisfaction and showing that proof in their monthly executive summary. We can now correlate the trends in feedback to our service numbers (ticket count and avg time to resolution) - it's impressive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend"

What do you like best?

It's so easy to use! Not just by our clients, but also from the admin side. When a ticket is closed the person who raised the support issue gets an email = 3 faces and ability to comment, we have increased our customer satisfaction response rate 1000% since using this product. We use the comments on our social media. And take reports to our main contacts on account reviews. All helps with the building of a strong relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

I can't say there is anything I don't dislike about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Customer satisfaction survey, for clients using our helpdesk for support. Its created a positive competition amongst our technical team, who receive a weekly report on who got what responses. We show a live feed on our website, encouraging other potential clients to join us. The not so positive feedback has helped us improve processes and procedures.

What do you like best?

This product is very Simple to Implement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rather than a dislike, I would like to see slightly more controls around how many reviews go out to a single client. Given the way my company uses connect wise it would be beneficial to stop this for specific category of tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it integrates into ConnectWise Manage and alerts us with each new review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product!"

What do you like best?

SmileBack is incredibly fast and easy to implement and solicits client feedback in a non-intrusive way. Surveys are no good if client's don't fill them out and SmileBack has solved that problem for me! We have also been able to ask permission to use positive comments form our clients on our web site using SmileBack. Having real world feedback on our service up on our site has been very valuable!
