It glitches a lot. The overall working of Teams isn’t very smooth, and the software lags many times. It also often doesn’t notify me about messages. I’m already logged in through the company, so I don’t have to add a password, but despite that it randomly logs me out, which is pretty annoying. Another major issue is the video and audio glitches. Most of the time we face problems with unclear voice or video. Since we work on Teams daily, these small glitches quickly become a bigger problem. Customer support is also pretty average; their solutions aren’t always helpful, and they can take time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us connect with our team members in other countries and makes meetings and project discussions easy which reduces our time to personally visit them and do the work from the ease of our home/office. It benefits us by enabling quicker work, and we can easily get updates from team members or connect with them for updates anytime and anywhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One issue is feature overload. There’s meetings, chat, whiteboard, docs, clips, AI tools, phone, scheduler and more. While that’s impressive, it can make the interface feel crowded. For new users especially, it’s not immediately clear where to go for what.

Another drawback is that chat still doesn’t feel as fluid as dedicated tools like Slack. Threads can get messy, and long-term knowledge management inside chat isn’t great. It works, but it’s not the strongest part of the platform.

There’s also the pricing structure. Some of the more useful features, especially advanced AI capabilities, are locked behind higher-tier plans. For smaller teams, that can feel limiting.

And finally, performance can dip when running larger meetings alongside multiple integrations. It’s generally stable, but it does demand decent system resources.

So overall, it’s not about major flaws. It’s more about complexity and positioning. Zoom started as the best video tool in the room. As it expands into an all-in-one workplace platform, it’s still figuring out how to make everything feel equally polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At its core, it cuts down fragmentation. Before, teams juggle a video app, a chat tool, a docs/collaboration tool, calendars, and task trackers. That’s context switching—mental friction, lost time, missed details. Zoom Workplace brings those into one ecosystem. That alone smooths communication and coordination.

It also tackles meeting inefficiency. With things like AI summaries, action item extraction, and searchable transcripts, you don’t have to capture every detail yourself or chase people afterward for what was decided. That means less time rehashing and more time acting.

Real-time collaboration is another area. Whiteboards, shared docs, and chat live together around the same session or workspace, so brainstorming feels continuous instead of disjointed across tools.

For teams spread across different locations or time zones, the persistent history in chats and meetings helps too. You don’t have to repeat context—newcomers can catch up quickly.

The benefit of all this is simpler workflows. Fewer apps to switch between, clearer handoffs between conversation and action, and less “where did we put that?” when you need past context. You save time, reduce friction, and keep everyone aligned without relying on seven different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't use Qualified's video chatbot. The platform has had some difficulties helping customers with detailed support questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qualified accelerates our sales process by answering questions 24/7 and qualifying visitors before they chat with sales. It handles simple queries, freeing our team for high-intent buyers. It's easy to use, multilingual, and connects to Salesforce. However, it doesn’t handle customer support questions well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Fin by Intercom is that the quality of its answers depends heavily on the knowledge base. If the content isn’t well organized or kept up to date, the responses can end up being inaccurate or misleading. I’ve also found that, in some cases, the customization options feel limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fin by Intercom helps address high customer support volume by using AI to automate responses to common questions. By handling repetitive issues, it reduces the need for human agents to step in for routine requests. For me, this means saving time, lowering support costs, and freeing up agents to focus on more complex customer problems that require a human touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Smartsupp could be improved by adding email ticketing. If it could convert incoming emails into numbered tickets and send automated responses like 'email received' or 'your ticket number is…', that would make it much more engaging and advanced. Also, a knowledge base feature would be great—something that lets customers access documented support in one central place. It would help Smartsupp users make more informed and engaging decisions, allowing support teams to easily share help articles and guide users through solutions using documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Smartsupp to automate customer support with its AI chatbot and emails, enhancing customer communication by answering FAQs and notifying my team of inquiries 24/7. The multilingual feature automatically adapts to customers' languages, making integration easy without extra developer costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Catch:

The “Salesforce Tax”: It’s expensive, and nearly every “cool” AI feature comes as a pricey add-on that can quickly inflate your monthly bill.

Complexity: This isn’t “plug-and-play.” In practice, you’ll usually need a dedicated admin or a consultant to keep everything running smoothly.

Bloat: The interface is undeniably powerful, but it’s also heavy. It can feel “click-heavy,” and it may run slowly on older hardware.

The Bottom Line: It’s a great fit for large companies that need to scale complex support operations, but for smaller or simpler teams it can easily become “expensive overkill.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Salesforce Service Cloud eases the headache of fragmented customer data and manual, slow-moving support workflows by bringing every communication channel together into a single “source of truth.” This gives you a true 360-degree view of your customers, so your team can deliver personalized help right away instead of losing time digging through old emails or jumping between disconnected systems. With AI-driven automation and self-service portals, the platform reduces repetitive “busy work” and automatically routes more complex cases to the right experts. In the end, it helps shift your support team from a reactive function to a faster, more efficient operation—leading to quicker resolutions, lower overhead costs, and stronger customer loyalty.

What I like least about Zoho Desk is that some important integrations, like WhatsApp, are not native and require additional configurations or external tools, which can increase cost and complexity.

I also notice that the difference between the plans is significant: more strategic features, such as more advanced automations and more comprehensive reports, are restricted to the higher plans. For those who are still structuring the process, this can create doubt about which plan really meets the needs without paying more than necessary.

Another point is that the initial setup requires a lot of attention. If departments and channels are not well configured from the start, chat and ticket may behave differently, which can cause confusion in the operation.

Overall, it is a good tool, but it requires technical understanding to get the best out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zoho Desk is primarily addressing the lack of organization and traceability in the administrative sector's demands.

Previously, many requests came through WhatsApp, email, or direct conversation, which caused constant interruptions, rework, and difficulty in prioritizing. We didn't have a clear view of the actual volume of requests nor a structured history.

With the use of tickets:

Requests now have formal records

Each request has a defined person responsible

We can track deadlines and status

We reduced reliance on memory and scattered messages

This has directly benefited the management of the sector, because now it is possible to:

Measure the volume of requests per period

Identify bottlenecks

Better organize the division of tasks

Create more discipline in opening tickets

Additionally, the chat and portal help direct requests to the correct channel, avoiding unnecessary interruptions and improving team productivity.

Overall, the tool has brought more control, more predictability, and less improvisation in internal service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Zendesk is powerful, the pricing can become expensive as your team grows or when adding advanced features. Some useful capabilities are locked behind higher-tier plans, which can make scaling costly. The initial setup and customization can also feel complex, especially for smaller teams without a dedicated admin. Additionally, the reporting configuration sometimes requires extra effort to get very specific insights without using add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zendesk helps centralize and streamline customer support by bringing all communication channels—email, chat, and web forms—into a single ticketing system. This eliminates scattered conversations and improves visibility across the team. It also solves response time issues through automation, triggers, and SLAs, ensuring that tickets are routed and prioritized correctly. As a result, we benefit from faster resolution times, improved customer satisfaction, better workload management, and data-driven insights through reporting and analytics. Overall, it creates a more structured, scalable, and efficient support process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Webex Suite is that it can feel complex and overwhelming, especially for new users. The interface isn’t always as intuitive as some competitors. It can also be more expensive for smaller teams. Sometimes performance depends heavily on network quality, which may affect meeting experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webex Suite addresses the challenge of relying on multiple disconnected communication tools by bringing messaging, meetings, calling, and collaboration together in one platform. This reduces confusion and saves time, since everything is integrated within a single workspace. It also supports remote and hybrid work through features such as video conferencing, screen sharing, and AI-powered summaries that help keep everyone aligned. The strong security and compliance controls add reassurance by helping protect business data. Overall, it boosts productivity and makes team collaboration smoother and more efficient.

While the platform is robust, there can be a learning curve when first implementing all features across multiple locations. However, once set up, it becomes very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Birdeye helps us centralize review management, increase review volume, maintain consistent brand responses, and quickly identify trends across locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes visual customization could be more flexible, and some more complex flows end up requiring manual adjustments. I also miss more in-depth reports to understand in detail the impacts of the guides and user behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use UserGuiding to create guides, update customers about changes, and promote actions. It reduces product friction by guiding users from the start, facilitates the understanding of features, decreases questions, and reduces dependency on support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the AI features are excellent, the conversations limit on lower-tier plans can feel a bit restrictive as you start to scale your automation. I've also noticed that the Suggestions engine can occasionally flag items for review that are already covered in our primary data sources, requiring a bit of manual cleanup. I would love to see more one click options to bulk approve AI responses directly from the Playground view to save time during the initial training phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tidio has solved our "support fatigue" problem by allowing Lyro to act our first line of defense for repetitive inquires. It has effectively eliminated the need for our human agents to answer the same shipping or policy questions over and over, as the AI now handles 5 out of every 9 conversations automatically. Overall, it's provides the enterprise -grade automation we need to provide 24/7 support with total confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past, the search function wasn’t as strong as we would have liked, especially when trying to locate older or very specific messages. However, this is an area they’ve been actively improving, and we’ve seen noticeable progress over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We deal with a large volume of shared emails across multiple stakeholders and departments. Before Missive, managing distribution and maintaining visibility without duplicating emails was challenging.

Missive allows us to properly organize, assign, and track emails without forwarding chains or creating redundant copies. This improves accountability, reduces confusion, and keeps communication centralized. The ability to link conversations and apply SLAs ensures that important requests don’t fall through the cracks and that our team stays aligned on priorities.

Overall, it has helped us streamline collaboration, improve response times, and maintain better oversight of shared communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redesigning our new Knowledge Base Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that I do not like is the "Rules" engine can be a little hard to configure if you have more advanced workflows. If you are trying to do very advanced branching, the UI feels somewhat limited relative to a full-fledged flow builder. Finally, while the reporting dashboard provides basic KPIs, if I am looking for deep machine level analysis or sentiment trend mapping, I tend to export out via REST API and consume in my Python notebooks. The session timeout also needs to be a little less aggressive; it occasionally logs the agents out before they finish their long, most of the time even on mid case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We placed the Bot in a state of "Frustration." Many customers do not like speaking with bots because they are too rigid. We are building a more conversational AI with Gladly that gets intent and sentiment. The advantage for me is the feedback loop. Gladly makes it easy to see when the AI fails and we can then update the “Guides” or the “Answers” within minutes in most cases. In the first few months, it is decreasing the Tier-1 support volume by almost 40-50%. This filters the fray out for human agents so that they only have to deal with high-value problems heavy enough to require a consultant's brain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main limitations are in the free version—only one user can access it and chat history is limited to 30 days. That said, these are understandable constraints for a free plan, and the core live chat and helpdesk functionality works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Chatway Live Chat solves the problem of slow and unorganized customer communication by combining live chat with helpdesk-style conversation management. It allows us to respond to users in real time, keep support requests organized, and reduce response times. This has improved customer satisfaction and made support workflows more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface doesn’t feel as modern as some competitors, and I often find myself thinking the overall layout looks a bit outdated compared with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I always record my meetings and review sessions so I can rewatch them later and share them with anyone who couldn’t attend live. It helps my team avoid missing important details, and it also means we can reuse the same training materials for future sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Further integration is always an area to be improved. There are a few areas in the Helpdesk that, if they were more completely customizable, would allow my team to never have to move to any other page in Hubspot while resolving issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have hundreds of support emails coming into our office and have only a couple people on staff who can respond. We're able to respond to 50-100 emails per day (up to 200 during busy times), with consistent messaging by using templates, using only part-time help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
