Services that require immediacy will be a good match.Also, since it is easy to use with smartphones, it will work well for young people who are used to chat-based communication.The ability to get an immediate response may replace phone-based customer support.I thought it would work well with customer support because it keeps a good history, etc.

[Zendesk Chat (formerly Zopim) is well suited for] any business with online services that want to improve their direct communication with their customers. But please make sure this is just a tool for communication with the customer, the team behind this chat is much more important.

Cons
  • customer support doesn't answer chat requests or messages
  • implementation of the trial option works but not clear wether extra features work in trial

  • Zendesk/Zoopim is right around an entire Live visit programming .There isn't an approach to compel the client to answer certain inquiries preceding entering the talk. The talk transcripts some of the time take long to appear in the visit history .
  • Exhausting outline for the talk message box
  • No work area warnings
  • Warning sound just played once. Since we are not at the front counter constantly, it would make our work more troublesome since we expected to continue checking the site.
  • No portable application
  • In the event that we shut program window we would be promptly disconnected.

Due to staffing issues, we have temporarily stopped offering chat as an available channel. We're also interested in the best ways to integrate chat with our FAQs and AI to provide quick responses, either during off-hours or prior to speaking with a live agent. I've also found that reporting is rather limited where some of the interesting and useful data made available and visible during the chat cannot be pulled post-chat; it would be great to pull a high-level report so we can analyze this data.

Usability
Smartsupp fulfills all forms of customer integration that I expect from an application. I have used other solutions before, but they were usually not complete in one product or some of the options were very truncated, probably at an additional cost, which did not necessarily have an attractive effect on the overall offering.

As mentioned previously, it's a clunky product that lacks user-friendliness. It feels old and behind the times compared to other products we have used. The inability to have a wrap-up time before a new chat comes in is also a big issue for our team.

Getting assistance and/or troubleshooting anything with Zendesk can be quite frustrating. In my years of experience with Zednesk, I have almost never found the answer to my question without going through multiple articles, ultimately getting frustrated and reaching out to our contact for more assistance. So for a consumer, the support is not as relieving as Zendesk Chat is to our customers in getting the questions answered by us.

Smartsupp is easier to use than Tidio live chat, it has a lot of integrations, mobile application on which you can conversate everywhere. Mobile app is easy to use. Chatbot is doing its job.

In one of my previous organizations, our client migrated the support tool from Zendesk Chat to Helpshift. I felt Zendesk Chat was a more user-friendly support tool than Helpshift. Zendesk Chat is so beginner friendly, whereas the other tools were so confusing compared to Zendesk Cha.

Return on Investment
  • Visitor status needs to show whether they came from "paid" ads. This helps us gage our spending and investment
  • Missed chats due to phone apps error: either not showing up at all, not notifying, or heavy delay
  • People are comfortable with the Chat program and don't mind keeping it open. Makes it easy for us to stay connected with customer

  • Positive impact - Compared to our old system, this newly updated system provides features and functionality that has increased our agent productivity and provided customer insight like we've never had before. This has resulted in fewer hold times and higher customer satisfaction.
  • Negative impact - Our reporting team still struggles with obtaining the right information from time to time with the chats. This leads to loss of productivity and more resources dedicated to reporting.
  • Positive impact - Due to Zopim's embed, we are able to more successfully place them on the appropriate self-service portals and pages, reaching a larger audience, and being more readily available to answer our client's questions. This has resulted in an increase in our self-service portal usage, driving down the phone and email support channels, which in turn reduces support costs.
