    It is best suited for having 24-hour support, where customers can interact easily, even using their phones, to raise concerns or inquire about information. This makes it easier than going through the documents portal as a source of knowledge or sending emails for worries. However, it can be less appropriate for scenarios when you need more formal communication, like emails, and when proper documentation is necessary.

    The relationship building with the entire team at LMI from Sales, to the Account Manager to our Customer Relationship manager and their product Bold360 was excellent. They were always willing to listen to different ideas and try to make them work for us

    Pros
    Freshworks Inc
    • Real time customer support. During busy times all our available agents can jump on and handle large volume of customer interactions.
    • Automations and canned response features. With automation we can greet our customers the moment a chat gets assigned to an agent letting customers know they are being attended to similarly canned response helps us use templates for generic and commonly asked questions.
    • Dashboards and analytics. Freshchat's ability to build customized dashboards and analyze performance in a granular level helps us monitor workload and manage performance effectively.

    • We’ve built our environment to scale globally and currently leveraging the platform in U.S., LATAM, BRAZIL, APAC, and EMEA.
    • Email integration with Outlook has helped channel emails to agents by skill set.
    • The knowledgebase has shared global articles, which are auto-translated to our fans who engage our brands based on their questions.
    • I want to add kudos to the support received from our Customer Success Manager and Technical Account Manager.

    Cons
    Freshworks Inc
    • Freshchat is one of the best platforms, but still there are certain areas that require further improvement in order for the platform to become flawless.
    • I feel that the automated system in Freshchat is comparatively slow and due to this, it does not respond well according to all the requirements.
    • There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and they can only be accessed by those who are paying the highest pricing tier.

    • Reporting capabilities. I think the dashboard and reporting tool could contain more details in terms of what data is visible and available to the user/administrator.
    • Native mobile applications to provide added support.
    • Improving the beta testing program to use new features before understanding whether the update can be pushed out without causing issues with the end-user.

    Freshchat has met all our expectations and more. It has allowed our team to be more efficient with their time, field questions quickly, and escalate issues up the chain. We highly recommend freshchat as the perfect addition to anyone already using freshdesk or simply looking for a good solution for in app messaging.

    Usability
    Freshworks Inc
    I give it an 8 due to its usability. Yes, I had a few issues to begin with and needed some assistance from Freshchat agents, but considering this is something that is completely new to me, to set up what feels like a professional chat handling system complete with autobot within a day is really saying something I feel.

    Day-to-day use of Bold360 AI (chatbot) use (reviewing new questions, adding new responses, tagging, etc.) is fairly simple, but utilizing more advanced features and custom channeling, etc. typically require escalation to developers and may require additional costs if you want help to implement

    The experience we had in past for lets say 4-5 months with the support team and our TAM was really helpful. The changes in the bot flow has helped our bot to ensure we connect with customer easily.

    Great customer support management provided by LogMeIn, which gives you a direct line with regular meetings with the company to make sure your implementation is a success. [The] account manager is always readily available as well for engagement. Opportunities though exist in a balance between professional services support and VIP support that can be improved upon more.

    I used LivePerson in my previous company. It was the same as BoldChat in terms of being a standalone chat application. But when I started using Bold360, for the very first time I felt I'd found a tool that made chat a really good channel for communications.

    • Considerable saving on ticket deflection so return on investment
    • Saved on extra support engineer recruitment through self service
    • Enabled support engineers to concentrate on more complex customer issues as simple and semi-complex issues are generally dealt with through self service--so better quality of service for customers
