Categories & Use Cases

Best solution available to have better communication with clients

Pros

  • ClickDesk allows account managers to interact with leads and customers, as they are searching and researching on our website and in our e-commerce store.
  • It is compiled of amazing features of the live call, online engagement, communication, and interaction with users or clients on a very professional level.
  • I can easily contact any customer or client easily by just contacting them on the platform which automatically connects to the representative of the relevant area.

Cons

  • Support team of ClickDesk is worst in operation. [In my experience they have been] totally unprofessional and unresponsive to messages.
  • I recently had some issues while using the platform, their representative responded after an hour and left the conversation without listening to the actual problem.

Most Important Features

  • Another amazing feature that I like the most in ClickDesk is their notification system.
  • It immediately notifies if I miss any customer chat of which it gives me [reminders] to make actions to relevant chat to remove the notification.

Return on Investment

  • It is super easy to use, complete robust and functional UI, responsive in actions and easy to sign in/out.
  • They do not even know about their own platform. It needs a lot of changes to be more robust and helpful.
  • Secondly, it is hard to navigate things on the platform, I cannot find some features because of complex preferences.

[In my opinion,] beware of ClickDesk charging for services you do not want... and refuse to issue a refund :(

Pros

  • fairly simple to use
  • set up not too difficult
  • usually worked OK

Cons

  • We believe ClickDesk has questionable business practices... be careful
  • ClickDesk charged us for services we did not use
  • It was our experience that ClickDesk will not issue a refund after they have charged us for services we did not want.

Most Important Features

  • live chat

Return on Investment

  • It is our opinion that ROI would have been OK if we would not have been charged for services not received.
  • In our case, ClickDesk ended up costing a LOT more than we planned because they charged us for services we did not use.
  • ClickDesk charged us for one year's service we did not use, and they are refusing to give us a refund.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy, simple and powerful live chat.

Pros

  • They have a simple agent panel, your agents don't have to be a pro tech to manage their agent panel.
  • They also have a simple ticking system along with live chat, it's not huge but it does work.
  • Easy to implement with well known knowledgeable and CMS.

Cons

  • They don't have a cell phone app for iOS yet.
  • They could make it work with Slack.

Return on Investment

  • Since we started offering live customer support and support ticketing our clients have become more interested.
  • ClickDesk also helped us to turn our visitors into customers. Easy to see who is visiting our website and where they are from.
  • When agents are offline clickdesk doesn't create an automatic ticket for user queries. This is really a negative impact, hopefully, they will fix this soon.
