User Testimonials
Arena.imGorgias
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited for environments where you have chat participants quickly dropping in and out of chat rooms for quick conversations. We use it in a virtual event environment where this is often the case. It's also good for an environment where each chat room has its own moderators who can control the individual rooms. It can also be easily embedded into sites and doesn't require development experience.

Gorgias is one of the easiest platforms I've used, as it was easy to navigate. You can customize your views so you can easily track them. The shared views are also specific and convenient. The search button is also one thing I like, as it easily shows what you're looking for with just keywords, email addresses, or any information.

  • Maybe in sending our response, it would be nice if the undo button was longer than 5 seconds.
  • Alt + enter should be disabled as we could accidentally press this, and the emails are automatically sent.

It's pretty straightforward, but it does take a little getting used to for many people. I would almost recommend having an "expert" have someone sitting nearby to coach the user for their first experiences with the software, as well as setting options to be limited. As otherwise, there can be moments that are just too much at once for some users

We selected Gorgias from Zendesk based on its Shopify integration. Given how many stores we were managing the team needed to quickly find all of a customer's information in an email. We preferred it to Zendesk. However, now that I use intercom I have many more features such as surveys, topics, extensive reporting, auto tags, and series I prefer intercom for my work now
