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!”

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”

CP

Chris P.

Pros

MC

Mouatez C.

“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.”

JD

Jude D.

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

“The ai I implemented to respond first before connecting to live agent seems to get stuck in endless loops of repeating questions and answers”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jessica B.

Owner

“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.).”
RH

Ron H.

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