Pros

“the LiveChat notifications work on every message, I was also able to transform a conversation into a ticket when the chat ended with a workflow automation that worked the first time!”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Brian S.

Director

“Limited customization of AI responses, had some spam come through that muddied up responses, AI responses could be improved with longer, more-detailed questions”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jenna O.

Digital Marketer

“The multitude of settings really allows us to customize our and the customer experience.”
CP

Chris P.

Supervisor

Pros

“It integrates smoothly with Freshdesk, allowing support teams to manage conversations and follow-up actions without disrupting their existing workflow.”
PH

Prasad H.

Data Engineer

“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

Shaunak B.

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Mohd A.

Founder

Cons

“It behaves differently depending on whether it is used via browser or mobile, with absurd functional limits for a paid professional service.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Michela d.

Managing director

“Some times the live chat communication can lead to misunderstandings due to improper way of expressing the statements.”
MM

Mohammed M.

Project manager

“I cannot remove nor rename a segment, this is a long time bug, I am used to, meaning that I can remove or rename it, but it then reappears 🤷‍♀️”
PB

Paul B.

Customer Experience Manager

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.”
