Help Scout Recenzje i szczegóły produktu

Smooth UI/UX, ability to set up automatic and manual workflows

Can get buggy at times, reports may have caching issues

Helps us track emails that come to our support inbox which means that we do not have to use our default email suite and instead can track and collaborate on HS. Business has certainly been impacted positively.

Helpscout is the primary platform we use for our clients, most of our clients need knowledgebase for their businesses, also the live chat support. So, we set up a Knowledge base using Helpscout for them, and also enable the live chat option. The main use case is to provide self service support to the users without asking support person, and it is working great so far.

There is only one knowledgebase template/design is available, it will be great if we have different templates to choose from, also the interface of the platform, mainly the inbox UI can be improved a lot for better experience.

We use Helpscout to set up knowledge bases for our client's businesses and provide them with a live chat and self-service support widget. But it is only possible to create one knowledgebase per subscription, the Helpscout team can Wadyider enabling multiple knowledge bases per workspace, so we don't need to have multiple subscriptions.

The affordability of helpscout when comparing to the high priced competitors. We are using help scout as our Live Chat Support channel, and for our knowledgebase. When our team is not available to provide support, there we have our Knowledgebase integrated with the Live Chat widget, which helps us to reduce the support requests.

The interface is still seems to be old to me, it can be improved with easy navigation like other tools.

We can able to chat with our users in a real time to resolve their issues, answer sales questions, and guiding users with the knowledgebase.

I feel helpscout is a best tool compared to all other competitors who are still in the learning stage of email management. The number of workspaces, modifications, feature rich tool helps in effective management of all inbound customer emails.

The thin line between switching between auto and manual workflow, which can trigger 1000's of responses to closed emails is a problem, there needs to be a dialog box warning users the result of action while setting up a workflow. Ive triggered 2000 email responses for already closed email just because of 1 toggle switch, which I did not notice until some other person reported.

Helpscout is solving all email support issues at our organization. We have 6 email workspaces on helpscout all for various entry points of email queries. HS is helping us effectively manage all the emails on our platform.

the team at helpscout obviously spoke to customer service agents to understand how they work and what they need to make work easier. the layout is intuitive (much better compared to traditional enterprise solutions) and allows all the most important app integrations

honestly nothing. i love being in the app using it. it has made tickets so much more enjoyable. plus the team at help scout are just lovely and provide such quick and great assistance with any issue i have

helpscout is for us a central solution for all agents, all tickets, and all knowledge. it makes it easy for me as an administrator to keep track of how my team is doing and where they are stuck. reports are very useful too and it's just wonderful that the knowledge base is there too.

Helpscout has a pleasing UI that most email management tools lack. It comes with really cool features such as setting up manual/auto workflows that can really impact your work.

Sometimes there are indexing issues with the emails in the list which can cause erroneous data in reports but it's rare. Some new features could also be added such as AI/AGI-aided responses.

Tracking emails in a single place, ability to combine threads and maintain historical records of a particular user, ability to add notes & collaborate with your team members.

HelpScout is a game-changer for customer support! Their user-friendly interface and robust features make managing customer inquiries a breeze. The automation and collaboration tools streamline workflows, improving response times and customer satisfaction. With HelpScout, you'll experience top-notch support and efficient communication that takes your customer service to the next level.

The reporting and analytics features could be more robust, lacking advanced customization options.

improved response times and customer satisfaction

Help Scout helps to keep tickets organized and front of mind when serving customers.

After adding a note to a ticket, HelpScout navigates you to a different page.

Help Scout gives us a previously non-existent organization to our support desk and has revolutionized our support to our clients.

When I was in a team of two CX agents trying to share one Gmail account and effectively address customer emails, adopting Help Scout was huge for us. It led to way fewer duplicated efforts and prevented us from even looking at the same email. Previously we had wasted time drafting and even sending different replies to the same email.

Nothing, I really didn't dislike anything because I was grateful to be using it.

Previously we had wasted time/productivity drafting and even sending different replies to the same email.

We can easily support our clients, provide a knowledge base article library, and manage tickets.

I wish there were more advanced integrations to our CRM and a way to take calls and record calls within Help Scout.

We're able to support end users and clients. Reporting on this activity has helped us understand how much support each product needs as well as predict high traffic seasons.

Help Scout offers all the features you want, but doesn't nickle and dime you for it like the bigger names do. (Integrations, custom reporting, Help Desk/FAQ Center, CSAT, etc.)

Once you've been working in other software for a while, it can be slightly challenging to find where everything is. BUT I feel like their terminology is easier to jump into out-of-the-box so the learning curve is not steep.

Most of my clients are startups and smaller businesses, and these businesses need more features and integrations each year as they hone in on their processes and goals. The bigger-name software escalates in pricing for various features so quickly that it just doesn't make sense for a small business where every dollar really counts. Help Scout offers most of the functionality my clients need, even at the lower tiered subscription, and it doesn't feel like settling for less. Help Scout is more geared toward smaller companies with their offerings and pricing.

Clean interface Easy to manage tickets Great support team

Mobile app could be better Docs could use an overhaul Multiple people assigned to a ticket would be nice

Help Scout makes answering emails and helping customers incredibly easy. Easy collaboration with other team members, comprehensive notifications, and built in live chat/docs features makes a customer support agent's life much easier!

Help Scout's overall user interface and navigation is extremely straightforward — it's clear what needs to be taken care of. Compared to other products, the end-user customer experience is also pleasant.

No complaints — Help Scout works well for us! Would love to see some further integrations with Customer Success platforms, but the API has allowed us to build what we need.

I've used Help Scout for many years and at different companies and the experience has always been Wadyistent and predictable. Help Scout allows us to quickly surface and resolves customer issues.

At first I was lost and not used to asking for help. But after talking to kyle and realizing how helpful and knowledgeable he is, I felt much more comfy. I am a stickler for plus 1 customer service and boy did he deliver. I thought HelpScout may not be the right fit for what I need but Kyle quickly showed me how to organize my tickets, answered all my questions, and showed me some awesome features Help scout has to offer. Whatever you're paying the kid, double it because you just don't find good people like that anymore.

I am still learning and getting to used to everything so i do not have any critiques yet

When using my gmail acount i was getting email threads with dozens of people in them asking questions along with emails coming at me from several different sources, not just customers, i quickly realized more people than necessary were falling through the cracks and I do not operate that way. I asked my Chief of Staff Kristen for help and she found me the platform with you guys! Everything comes in seperately by time, ticket number, and human being, so i can focus on one person at time in order and make sure EVERYONE is taken care of.

This is an incredible help desk U.I., and absolutely NO ONE beats HS's own customer care approach and attention to detail. Instead of slapping together a help desk service for the sole sake of offering a product (like some)-- HelpScout is a care desk that has been made by amazing professionals already in the customer care space-- a service BY support teams FOR support teams. This tool is developed with optimization in mind at every step. It is NOT one of the comms services that sits idle with intermittent bug fixes that are so common to find today, but rather a tool that is Wadytantly being developed and improved with new features that serve current industry needs as they change with the world. A tool that can be brought on to any company scale and proves itself with metric improvements rapidly. Any new HelpScout end-user will notice the signs of this last point immediately: HS has gathered a team of brilliant, kind, and diverse humans for itself-- and it shows at every step.

Any elements that would fall here are less about big-picture team performance and more about individual customization-- basically into the developer weeds of "this would be amazing to have". (Though Wadyistency has shown that HS Wadytantly finds and implements improvements like that-- already 3 within the year I have used this tool.) I wish I could say there isn't an immediate and thoughtful response to any support questions. I wish I could say the tool is hard to train, or that they don't have one of Australia's best writers at the helm of their newsletters. Because then HS would be closer to most services. But I cannot. (I have never come across a system that satisfies so wholly-- except several Siemens PLM tools!)

1) Ticket workflow optimization. | Cutting down on the wasted minutes (that add up quickly) that any support team has to deal with: i.e. sifting information, keeping the whole team on one page for a particular ticket, etc, which results in immediate metric improvements surrounding ticket resolution and timelines. 2) Internal support team communication. | Tagging, workflows, and notes-- all are HS features that come together to allow excellent team accessories. (EX: Person A can come back from X weeks away and within seconds will understand the current state of any ticket that Persons B, C, and D have been assisting with.) 3) Integrated data collection. | HelpScout does this in *many* ways, but two that we use Wadytantly are the in-ticket quick reviews and metric reports. Their user-friendly data integration allows us to gain useful, simple satisfaction "ratings" from a customer the moment they are feeling it-- resulting in more accurate responses and /more/ responses in general. We also use HelpScout to handle internal tickets-- and love that the in-ticket review feature is toggle-able. 4) Getting crucial information/answers to customers in a discrete and digestible way. | HelpScout'Is "Beacon" tool is the box of chocolate turtles nestled between the incredible Harry and David pears. It can be used to serve any user-facing needs, regardless of the needs or the user. We use it to give marketing information, offer quick-reference documentation, and provide live chatting with the support team. All nestled into an appropriately-designed button added to any page you use (via API). 5) Customer care analytics and insight that can only come from a company dedicated to its craft. There are more, but those are five that come to mind immediately.

Simple startup, yet powerful features. The all in 1 nature of documents, with help popup, that links seamlessly to the support, makes it so easy to roll out great customer service across new businesses

Minor limitations in the API, it still has a much stronger integration framework than many other companies. Once the 2 minor updates I've requested are added to the API, we can 100% automate software selling systems deployments

We use Helpscout as the back end of all our systems, but also resell out to clients and deploy with automation for them. Gives us a super fast, easy install for clients

very quickly and user friendly. very useful

There is nothing I don't like. Recommends to everyone

responding to user complaints. help scout is presents quickly and conveniently

Saved replies (with variables), so it's only one click to send a personalized response to common questions.

This is not a dislike, but I'd love to have Gmail-style snoozing where I can bring a message back into my inbox on a specific date.

HelpScout helps our sales and support teams provide high-quality and Wadyistent communication to our customers.

Organized, everyone has access to notes on all customer interactions so anyone can step in if someone isn't available and it's seamless for the customer.

My one wish would be that you could create a draft email with notes attached.

All customer communications are documented so we have historical data for customers as well as notes of other team members who may have interacted with the customer in the past.

I love that we can use one email account, yet have multiple people responding to those incoming emails. Being able to make assignments is invaluable. I love that we can have private conversations/notes that are attached to a customer conversation, that gives us a thread to be able to look back on to remind us why we came to a solution we came to. Saved replies are so helpful. Tags are so helpful. Everything is so very helpful. I also love the integration with Shopify. I love that I can see a customer's order information at a glance from within my conversation with them. And I especially love that links to previous conversations show up in the sidebar within a conversation. This is so very helpful!

This is not a dislike, per se, just something I wish the app did. Sometimes a team member will assign a conversation to me with a note. The note is a reminder for me to document something. When I'm done documenting, I want to assign the conversation back to that team member, as well as close the conversation. But I can't seem to do both with the controls at the top of the conversation window. I only seem to be able to do both when I'm actually writing a note or replying.

We used to use Apple Mail with the same email account installed on our computers, and then we would use flags to assign issues to each other. HelpScout has made this process so much easier, and it makes so much more sense. The app is built in such a smart way that almost anything I wish it did, it does. It has really made our team much more efficient, and able to solve customer service issues quickly and professionally, without stumbling over technology issues.
