Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Zendesk, Freshworks and others in Knowledge Management Software."The user experience on the platform itself is fantastic. The UI is clean and uncluttered, so it's easy to find any information about your customer or the issue at hand. You can find out the person responsible for that particular issue, what the problem is, who the stakeholders are, and how to resolve it. There are lots of tools that will help you do that as well."
"It's free of charge for us. For our scale of business, it's very important. We don't have a lot of tickets."
"It's easy to use and integrates with other tools. We can embed Jira into it, link Jira tickets with Freshdesk tickets, and use it for our knowledge base."
"I like that it's very user-friendly. The way they designed this application, any layperson can just do some drag and drop actions and use it. It's not that difficult. It's also easy to implement. The most important thing is, you don't need to go to this application to create a ticket. You just send out an email, and the ticket is created automatically. I have never seen a feature like this before."
"Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution."
"Its simplicity is most valuable. It is easy and simple, and it requires negligible training effort. I don't spend all my time goofing around trying to find stuff in the ticketing system."
"The organization that is possible with other departments is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is very easy to make reports."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users."
"Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement."
"Sometimes our requirements are not matched with Freshdesk's free version as most of the advanced features are not available to us."
"It should enhance its service and its reporting capabilities."
"There are a few things we have asked for, like a forward button. When a ticket comes in, we forward it, but it doesn't sync up with the forward. That is the one they have to rework. The other is when we forward the ticket, it doesn't go all, or certain things don't go with it. We have told them about it, and they are working on it. It would be better if they gave us a more standard reporting template. Although they already have some, many aren't usable. It would be easier if we had more templates to work with."
"While it's good for a small number of tickets, definitely in the future, we will require something more powerful."
"The dashboards are useful but could be so much better. As a product manager, and data scientist, we couldn't use the dashboard for analytics and had to move the data in Power BI."
"The reporting, analysis modules and insights capabilities for this solution could be improved."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
