Pros and cons

I love how it makes our tasks easier and we're excited to discover more of its other features that we can use in our other lines of business.
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.
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.
It is sometimes difficult to find some old tickets.

The best HelpDesk for small business website owners

Reviewed a year 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.

Operations and Admin use with My Secure Advantage Inc. (MSA)

Reviewed 6 months ago

We love it. We use HelpDesk, LiveChat, and ChatBot

Pros

We love the ability to quickly process support and/or member-facing requests through the website or the App.

Cons

N/A - Support isn't available live since we are on the west coast of the United States and y'all are in Poland. Even though we have to submit tickets, support has been very quick and collaborative

Helpdesk

Reviewed 2 years ago

We purchased this program to help us with ticket management, as we were handling our customer service tickets through regular email. This system does allow us to do that. However, the system is not customizable, and it is very cumbersome and clunky. I would definitely not recommend this system to anyone else.

Pros

-- Provides an easier way to manage requests that come into our business than through regular email. -- Gives an option for writing internal notes so that agents can make private comments to one another inside tickets for background -- Keeps all our support requests in one location so they are easier to find and manage than regular email

Cons

-- Templates / emails cannot be customized without knowledge of HTML -- Poor customer service -- we have submitted tickets as well as chatted with CS on issues that required further investigation on their end. They have told us each time they would get back to us, but they never have. If they can't resolve the issue right at that moment, we never hear from them again. -- Our automated responses that we have set up to trigger when someone submits a ticket go our to every agent, every single time someone submits a ticket. Very annoying. The automated responses also become part of the ticket thread, which makes the threads long and cumbersome. We have asked them to please shut this off, and have been told they cannot do that.

Vendor response

Hi Lianne, Here's Weronika from HelpDesk. Thank you for your honest review. I've read it carefully and would like you to know that it's crucial to make HelpDesk usable and meet your needs. Email templates indeed require HTML knowledge, but luckily you can always use our default template. It's ready to implement and will make your messages look professional. I'm sorry we left your message unanswered....

We have what we need, but there is always what to improve

Reviewed 5 months ago

Everything is suitable and in the end of the day does the job

Pros

Great to have a form for customer to fill which was easy to implement in the website and to start gather tickets

Cons

We needed different inputs to a form and we were unable to create custom inputs or text box to gather more specific information from customer, for example remote software login details or warranty number. Also we lack of analysis data, we cant know which our selling products receive most tickets.

Very Useful to start a Helpdesk experience

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall Helpdesk has been great for me to begin using a ticket system. Before we where using Helpdesk it was difficult for my team to keep track of which problems were solved and who was responsible for them, but now my agents always know what they are responsible for and they are able to see each ticket though to completion.

Pros

Helpdesk is very easy to get started with and is extremely affordable compared to other options. It was very easy for me to already use our existing Helpdesk email address and give my agents a way to track their tickets. The software is very easy for my agents to understand and it is great that they can access it online anywhere.

Cons

I would like to see an option for omnichannel so we can respond to customers in the medium they use to first reach out rather than always have to redirect to our support email.

Great platform for Customer Service

Reviewed 6 months ago

We have been able to help a lot more people than before by utilizing this system and have been able to track all issues correctly to help prevent them in the future.

Pros

Helpdesk is easy to use and straight forward. It includes automations for sending messages where they need to go.

Cons

Keeping an eye on all things necessary to you can be difficult at first. You have to make sure that filters are setup correctly or you can lose track of some tickets.

mixed bag

Reviewed 6 months ago

We definitely use the ticketing every day and it is easy enough to use. Now that the pricing schema has changed, we are much less happy because we have to pay for LiveChat which we only use as user interface on the website and the HelpDesk pricing is slightly too high in our view.

Pros

The integration was pretty easy, and the reliability is great, we never had one failure in 3+ years of using it. The support team is great and reacts almost immediately.

Cons

- Lack of a proper mobile app- when used in a mobile browser, almost impossible to use- no plugin for WordPress- we have to use LiveChat as well although we don't want it, as it has a WordPress plugin and HelpDesk does not. So we have to manage two environments.

Overall my experience has been fantastic. Helpdesk has helped our employees in different location come together to support customers quickly and easily.

Pros

From integration to customer support, Helpdesk was in fact the most helpful asset to provide our customers and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Cons

There could always be more customizations on things like widget format and email format, but generally speaking everything is great.

Easy to use!

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

HelpDesk is very easy to set up and start using. I find it especially helpful for some of our non-technical co-workers, compared to other support software we've used which required some extensive instructions to help onboarding coworkers.

Cons

Certain actions can only be done using the multiple select checkbox, for example closing a single ticket either requires you to go into the ticket and update the status, or use the multiple select checkbox to close a ticket. The spam filter is also quite annoying, while it does block a lot of spam emails, we've missed quite a few non-spam tickets, resulting in upset clients.

Love the App

Reviewed 5 months ago

Love it, any down time is now spent generating sales.

Pros

The simple fact that customers can come and file any questions, comments or updates in a single organized application is huge. No more missed voicemails and missed sales.

Cons

I wish there was a way to automatically group new tickets that should be part of the same thread. I've noticed out less tech savvy customers will 'reply' to a ticket by creating a new ticket, every time. If there was a way to automatically re-attach the new thread to existing ticket would be amazing.

Better than the rest!

Reviewed 3 years ago

We've used Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk, Groove and a slew of others. The team at Helpdesk has built a functionally rich solution that doesn't require a degree to understand how to operate. We're able to manage tickets in a clean and visually minimal environment and get information without needing to execute multiple clicks. Definitely recommend this solution for teams of all sizes.

Pros

Super easy to get up and running and start managing customer support inquiries. The support team at HelpDesk is very attentive in addressing any questions.

Cons

Tighter integration with LiveChat when we selected the software would have been great, but that has since been rolled out.

Pros

It's easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing to work in.

Cons

It lacks some of the more advance features that more mature Helpdesk solutions offer. The integration with their livechat product is weak and essentially worthless.

Hi Rex, Thank you for your feedback! We do our best to create the best help desk experience for our customers and to constantly improve our product. We want HelpDesk to be simple to learn and use. Some more advanced features would not correlate with delivering our core value. If you don't mind, we will be in touch to collect a few more information regarding LiveChat integration.

Todas las solicitudes, dudas y comunicaciones están en un solo lugar y son más fáciles de encontrar y administrar. Puedes en el futuro revisar respuestas y tener un repositorio de incidencias y soluciones. Mucho más efectivo que el correo para que todo el equipo tenga a mano la información.
