Pros

“The automation features, reporting dashboards, and integrations with other tools are also very helpful for managing workflows and tracking performance.”
SP

Sonu P.

Systems Analyst

“Initial webhooks Setup feels complex when connecting custom microservices, and configuring ticket trigger conditions requires careful testing to avoid loops.”
EA

Estrella A.

Software Engineer

“The setup process was smooth, and the platform provides useful features for managing emails, tickets, and team collaboration.”
TG

Tushar G.

Cloud Engineer

Pros

“For teams that need deeper functionality or more sophisticated routing rules, it may start to feel restrictive as support volume grows.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Krystal M.

People Operations

“Lightweight help desk portal for our team to collaborate on tickets and create articles for future reference”
JS

Josh S.

IT Coordinator

“Keeps all customer communications in one place - allow us to respond to customers in almost real time”
SB

Stephen B.

CEO

Cons

“I'm not a huge fan of the UI clutter when creating a new ticket, but it's not a huge deal and our team's learned to navigate it after a few weeks.”
MT

Maisie T.

Customer Support Specialist

“Sometimes it limits me the way Zendesk suite handles follow up tickets when a ticket is closed. When a customer replies after closure, he creates a new thread instead of responding to previous one.”
MN

Musawenkosi N.

Technical Support Officer

“However, we have not used your service for the past 3-4 months, and a check of our user logs will show that no one from our team has logged into the platform during that period. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, including contacting customer support, we have encountered an unhelpful response.”
YK

Yevgeniy K.

Data Analyst

Cons

“The reporting isn't as advanced as some tools out there.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Josef S.

Technical Support Specialist

“They replaced this standard keyboard command with their own internal "Command Pallet," which serves no use to our team.”
TP

Thomas P.

Head of Customer Success

“Communication history gets lost sometimes and customer replies don't appear”
