Pros
It's easy to set up, admin and configure to your needs. The great benefit is integrating with other apps from LiveChat to expand or minimize your customer experience down to your needs.
We care about the individual approach to the customer, and HelpDesk supports us in this. Thanks to the teams, the customer can be assigned to the appropriate department.
The experience has been very positive and we will continue to use HelpDesk as we have had many benefits from it.
Cons
There is an obvious lack of control over training, nuances can be lost. Customers may find it too impersonal.
Emails get caught in Spam sometimes when they aren't spam.
Also we lack of analysis data, we cant know which our selling products receive most tickets.

The best HelpDesk for small business website owners

Reviewed 3 years ago

Customer Support was hard to get a hold of through Shopify App and took over a week to get help and then was told I cannot use my HelpDesk on Shopify I would have to start over with a new account.

Pros

Features, layout, tags, spam blocking, email signature in outgoing emails, domain verification for outgoing emails so it has our email address

Cons

You can not integrate with Shopify unless you start a whole new account with a different domain and email then you have to start all over from scratch. Very disappointed as I have an integration with LiveChat but HelpDesk is separate for some reason in Shopify and they are the same company.

Helpdesk needs more work to be optimum for us personallly

Reviewed 18 days ago
Pros

AI summary is a great feature. Apart from that its a quite basic version of a helpdesk to be honest

Cons

I mean the helpdesk need quite a bit of updates to be suitable for a multi-brand environment. We use tags to seperate departments because the groups are being used for different brands. So there is no other option to seperate departments. Development launches from helpdesk side seem quite slow as well. Cannot change design of contact forms as well to fit different website styles.

Vendor response

Dear Tristan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re happy to read that you’re enjoying the AI summary feature—it's great to know it's helping your team. We truly appreciate your candid input on the areas where HelpDesk could improve, especially in the context of a multi-brand environment. Your suggestions about department separation and contact form design are invaluable,...

Efficient Help Desk solution

Reviewed 4 months ago

Even though in our business model we don't deal with as many clients as say a manufacturing company, it is still important to solve clients' inquiries on time. Being a small company, without the integrations and the efficient management, that wouldn't be possible.

Pros

The feature I like the most that influenced me to choose HelpDesk is the ability to integrate it with a plethora of different platforms and automate a lot of processes. At this stage of growing our company, we are focused on streamlining our workflow and optimizing the usage of the resources we have.

Cons

I don't think there are many things they got wrong. We had some glitches and slowdowns on certain occasions. Also, I think a sound notification when a new message arrives could be helpful.

Vendor response

Hello Adam! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback on HelpDesk. We're thrilled to hear that our platform’s integration capabilities and process automation have been instrumental in helping you streamline your workflow and optimize your resources. It's great to know that our platform has contributed to your ability to manage client inquiries efficiently, especially as a small company. Your insights are incredibly important to us. Thank you again for your support. All the best, HelpDesk Team
