"Basic chat abilities with super powers"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

I love the dashboard feature. It allows me to see how my conversations are going and how often i talk with certain people . I have started a new sewing business also and this helps me to keep track with my customers. Facebook messenger is just to messy and i prefer this setting. I am hoping to bring my whole team to this platform as it is very business friendly.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

I wish it had a tutorial that made it a little easier to navigate. Its not extremely hard to get to know but still takes some work.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to keep better track of my sales and customers with this chat. The dashboard interface is the big winner with me. It also helps me keep up with how often I conversate with each person in my team .

Tracking all agents and numbers, track all breaks for all agents and you can extract all reports from fresh coat to describe the number of AHT and how many chat he resolves

something get wrong when you extract any report you need to refresh again to extract it, could be better if we can extract any file immediately without refreshing the tab of fresh chat

"End user experience is good, features are good, support is ok, reports are lacking, billing is awful"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

The end-user experience is very smooth and streamlined. Support is responsive most of the time.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

There is no continuity of reporting between Freshchat and Freshdesk. The reporting platform is entirely different, with the chat version being substantially inferior. Customer service and billing are horrid. Delays in getting issues resolved, no escalation path available, they don't seem to care.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allow customers to interact with us using the method of their preference. Better customer satisfaction.

"Worst Chat Service used ever"
What do you like best about Freshchat?

Setting it up is relatively easy but that is all.

What do you dislike about Freshchat?

They charge on the credit card that is on file for services never used and they do NOT return the money as their support promised within 5 business days. In our case, 10 days have gone by and still, we have not received the refund.

What problems is Freshchat solving and how is that benefiting you?

No benefits at all
