    Pros
    We've had good customer support and their custom pricing, although more expensive than other solutions, is worth it. The ease of use and integration in-app and with push notifications is excellent.
    Easy to plug into your app, and I like that it’s supporting attach screenshots which are very important for CRM.
    The service itself is of good level, especially the integration in the game is of good value. Also the different tag options make it easy to prioritize the answering of the issues.
    Cons
    Customer service was terrible. The bait & switch pricing.
    On iOS, using Helpshift is pain (from developer perspective). Lot of issues, updates break stuff.
    Microsoft PowerBI as their reporting system was very hard to work with.

    Effective Ticketing Software for Chats

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    We changed from Zendesk to Helpshift and must admit that it would've been the experience to stay given the features and functionalities were very similar at the exception of the really goo chat features that HelpShift includes.

    Pros

    The macros and shortcuts surely improve an agent's productivity. Creating several different views and queues that users have access improves the tier distribution. Their In App messaging is a life saver and extremely polished.

    Cons

    Microsoft PowerBI as their reporting system was very hard to work with. If you're not on the enterprise plan with the customer support fee, there's no way you're going to find any help or online resources that are helpful to answer your question.

    Customer facing first

    Reviewed 7 years ago

    HelpShift has been a paradigm shift in terms of quality and up to date support for our users. Easily updatable FAQs and in-game support has been really well received by our players. Engagement is high and the easily searchable FAQs have been extremely helpful for self service support.

    Pros

    Helpshift is a great user experience, and integrates easily with our products. The easily updatable FAQs have been a massive win for me over other competing products.

    Cons

    The analytics are thin and not quite usable. Management of user roles is extremely limited and messy (not able to add admins to groups). Views are a nightmare to manage as an admin and its far to easy to break them.

    Best support ticket sdk

    Reviewed a month ago

    Everyday some of our millions of players easily use this system to share their problems. So we can focus on improving our games.

    Pros

    Integration with unity and configuration of notifaction and app settings are very easy. Also offline faq feaure is very good.

    Cons

    We want to update current sdk to new version which named SDK X to use new features but new one doesn’t have offline faq feature.

    Good platfom to reply Mobile app support tickets, but it lacks features.

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    It does the basic job of getting a ticket and responding, splitting incoming tickets into queues, even classifying it with tags, but don't expect a fully developed solution like Zendesk. Helpshift is just no there yet.

    Pros

    The feature so far is the cod you can inject in your app to query the remote mobile device hardware and software spec that helps a lot when troubleshooting tickets received.

    Cons

    it totally lacks a module do some BI number crunching providing basic information like, how much time an agent spent on a ticket ? What's the agent RPH ? there are no statistics at all to help managers to improve the service quality.
