Customer Support Specialist

The platform significantly improved how issues are handled and followed up, making team coordination smoother. Despite a few areas that could be strengthened, it remains a dependable tool that enhances productivity and communication.

Customer Success Agent

The new ticketing system which allowed me to take chats and check my tickets at the same time.

Executive Assistant

I appreciate being able to handle customer requests and outstanding issues, work collaboratively with my team, and maintain organized historical data through the tag system.

Returns and Service

I interact with the tool the most when connecting to our tech team on internal issues that affect employees and customers and it is a great way for multiple people to report the same issue at once to bring attention to it.

Client Relationship Management

I dislike the fact that you can't sort through HelpDesk tickets by other identifiers (i.e., Subject (Website Contact Form Submission), Custom Quote Forms, etc.).

Tech Support Specialist

The ability to streamline Ticket management and resolution as well as the ability to open a ticket from a live chat!

Customer Service Supervisor

I like the fact that a customer can leave us a message when we are out of the office so we don't miss any interactions with the customer.

Graphic Designer

The layout is clean and well organized, making it easy to navigate between tickets, track conversations, and manage requests without confusion.

Analyst support

One aspect I liked least about HelpDesk was that some features felt limited or not as flexible as expected, especially when handling more complex workflows.

Chatbot Designer

Deleting multiple files and images from threads at once – would allow tidying up tickets and removing incorrectly added data.

Service Representative

From my perspective, I consider HelpDesk as a state-of-the-art tool that effectively performs multitasking functions with the objective of resolving and addressing the concerns of patients, agents, and other service providers connected to the system, thereby fulfilling the needs of all stakeholders involved.

Customer Success Representative

If tickets are misrouted or the system is too rigid, sometimes errors may occur.

HelpDesk offers a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to track and manage tickets efficiently.

It has made organizing and tracking support requests much more efficient.

The organization of information and automation features also helped streamline daily tasks.

Content writing

I like how tickets are organized in one place, which improves response time and efficiency.

Field Service Technician Technical Support

It allows my employees to communicate with customers that need support in a timely manner and in a format that is neat clean and simple.

Also relying solely on tickets may reduce direct human interaction, which some customers prefer.

Support ninja

It's great and very useful as most of the apps are available at the same place. Plus it also allow s me to see what is being typed by the customer before they hit send.

Senior Risk and Fraud Specialist

I don't like if some other agent replies on a ticket I created, it will unassign me and assign to that agent and I can't see it anymore in my tickets list

Application Specialist

The tool is also very flawed in it's design such as being unable to hide another team's shared view from the menu despite not being able to see it's contents; it just clutters the menu unnecessarily.

It has helped streamline communication and made customer support more organized and efficient.

Developer

I have had a fair amount of experience with this tool, in particular I found the integration into websites very easy and the possibility of customizing the graphic layout.

Sales

For example, sometimes we would like to directly email the ticket to another colleague at our company for review or feedback before marking solved or closing it out.

Customer service agent

The comprehensive resources and user-friendly features have contributed to a smooth and efficient experience, and I feel confident knowing that help is always easily accessible when I need it.

I have a complete view of all tickets so that my customers status is visible to me and my team.

Online Evangelism Innovator

We liked the LiveChat tickets, and did not have a need for many of the extra features that are in helpdesk, but for what it offers, we have benefitted.

WebMaster

I like the automations .They help me to close the tickets that I have forgotten about when the customer does not respond after "x" amount of time.

The graphical interface is very intuitive and allows for quick interaction with the user you are chatting with.

Pricing may also be a concern for smaller teams or individuals.

Client Experience Lead

Notification system of the tickets arriving to my gmail is seamless.

Director of Customer Support and Logistics

The chat program native ticketing system was much for user friendly and efficient for our team.

Good, would use again - I liked how it was a ticketing system instead of just an email system, customer seem to like it

Very bad avoid at all cost complete scam company and least bothered live support they won't help you for any problems

Customer service host

It’s fast and eddies my I can actually see a big difference from the previous application that we had used

Operations Manager

Default reports and analytics are rudimentary and make it difficult to investigate problem cases and outliers without additional setup.

Easy to navigate, and liked the notifications on the website - it was easy to go through the queries and and answer them

Employee

It would certainly be better if tickets assigned to other departments disappeared directly without having to refresh the page

Being able to communicate across different teams to resolve internal issues.

Head of Technical Team

We use helpdesk for tickets, verification codes and sales tracking.

It is helpful to have the dropdowns right there on the side to quickly and easily assign them to the right team(s) to be handled appropriately.

Same for a draft section to easily pick up from a draft if we close the tab.

As this is my first experience utilizing the HelpDesk system, I find myself somewhat overwhelmed by the multitude of tools available for addressing issues and connecting with patients and other service providers.

Customer Service Agent

Up to now a positive experience and a solid platform for messaging both internal and external/private.

I ended up having to pay an IT company to help me get it set up and useable.  

Founder

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.

I think the focus should shift to actual functionality of what we do with these tickets in our workflow.
