“Freshchat gives supervisors a clear picture of ongoing conversations, making it easier to monitor workloads and ensure customers aren’t waiting too long for responses.”
SB

Sr analyst

“We centralized all customer communication for our e-commerce operation across 6 countries on Freshchat. When it went down for 13 days, we had no fallback.”

“What I like most about tawk.to is the incredible value it offers, especially considering that we use the free version. Despite costing us nothing, it provides all the essential features we need for customer communication, including live chat, visitor monitoring, canned responses, ticketing, and chatbot functionality.”

Cons

“While the platform offers useful AI capabilities, some features occasionally fall short of evolving industry standards, and customer support responsiveness can be inconsistent at times.”
SS

Srithika S.

Senior Product Designer

“Personally, I did not find the UI/UX very intuitive, as it felt quite minimal and lacked adequate support for our team to easily access and view all the required data in one place.”
AW

Atiradh W.

Chief Technology Officer

“Considering the cost, the feature set feels quite basic and doesn't significantly improve day-to-day efficiency or simplify workflows.”
VJ

Vishnu J.

Software Engineer

Cons

“Learning every feature takes time, and I've hit occasional bugs that disrupt the chat flow.”
HK

Harish K.

Lead Web Developer

“There's really no way to configure notifications other than "on" or "off".”
OS

Oscar S.

Operations Manager

“It was not visually appealing on the front or back out of the box - and it was not the easiest to customize”
