Chose Freshchat
I've used the above as an agent and to be fair I inherited Freshdesk when I took my role over. I stuck with it as it does what it says on the tin, it has some good functionality and a good price for what you can get all in if you include Freshdesk too.

Honestly, Freshchat was the first choice from the beginning since we were already using Freshdesk ticketing system and we wanted a smooth integration between the products. While we explored a few products, we quickly tested Freschat and sticked to it.
I have not used other messaging apps like Freshchat messaging. I did look at other options when evaluating if I would use Freshchat and it was apparent that Freshchat was the most cost-effective option with the highest potential for customization and the most features that …

Freshdesk is better it has faster actions and no much options must be filed to solve the issue // what we need to solve the issue is filling 2 blocks and submit the issue to solve it /// having the abilty of contact with more than 3 clients on the same time.
Its easy to use and its very friendly. It requires very less time to train staff on it. Easy to track work and manage work on it. It is integrated with other tools which we can use use to chats done by the agents for their audit purposes. Loved working on it.
The interface of Freschat is quite well designed and structured which is not sluggish to use at all. Also, it has a very easy-to-use interface which makes it easy for the users to operate it. Other than that, Freshchat encompasses all the amazing features of contacting the …

Conversocial gives structure to social media management and keeps conversations running smoothly with interaction history for each customer and follower. The collaboration workflows allows quick sharing of information and creation of tasks for others.
Early on we did comparisons with Hootsuite and later with Adobe. While they have similarities, the difference at the time and likely currently, was the personal interest and general accessibility of Conversocial's platform and people. The combination of an effective CRM …
I have also used Radian6 and Hootsuite. I did not like that you we're unable to archive in Hootsuite and could not see previous conversations. Hootsuite also had way too many columns that you could create and it was very disorganized in my opinion. Radian6 is a great tool but …
I have experience with Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Simplify 360, Conversocial, Radian6, Cision, and Wildfire. Each of the platforms has a different strength. Conversocial excels at customer service management while Sprout Social is ideal for social media monitoring/engagement, …
I have used HootSuite and Salesforce Radian6 and so far, Conversocial is my favorite. Where Radian6 excels for categorization of posts, Conversocial has a much easier learning curve. I did not use HootSuite for more than a month before the company switched us to Conversocial so …
We performed a full evaluation of HootSuite, SocialEngage, and Oracle RightNow. Conversocial was selected for several reasons, including the intuitive interface (very important for CS agents, who are already working in a multitude of complex systems), capacity to support our …
ZenDesk, Hootsuite. Conversocial allowed us to work 7-10X faster than we had previously while still maintaining the "socialness" of the platform, rather than converting the experience into a traditional customer service interaction.

its good app Freshdesk Messaging help me to contact the customer and contact the customer to inform my problem to solve it and is a good app and help full app and its easy to use uncomplicated and Freshdesk Helps me provide good quality to the customer and make customer feedback good for a company
It is well suited for larger organizations that see a lot of content. If you're a very small business with little engagement, Conversocial may not be the most appropriate tool for you. I would ask yourself how much content you see each day/week, is that number going to increase for any reason, and based on that Conversocial may be the perfect fit.
Businesses can analyze how long it takes different agents to respond to customer inquiries on social media. This helps them understand staffing, response time, and how to become more efficient with customer care.
By utilizing the tagging and sentiment features across all conversations, businesses can better understand what their customers are talking most frequently about on social media and whether it's positive or negative. This can help identify frequent product issues that may lead to future design improvements.
Through the dashboard, customer representatives can also easily assign conversations to the appropriate team member. This makes it more efficient for different managers to handle different conversations related to their product expertise.
Determining the sentiment of a social message is something that every predictive modeled Social CRM tool can improve on.
Mechanism for posting to a native site might be more robust. Although our business did not choose to post through the tool. We did not use any other mechanism to automate our posts.
Freshchat has been a reliable and user friendly platform for the past 5 plus years for engaging with customers in real time. It has helped us streamline support, reduce response time and improve customer satisfaction. The advanced automation feature and chatbot functionality have also saved our teams a lot of manual effort and increased efficiency. I didn't rate 10 because there is still room for improvement in reporting and deeper integration.
The only two reasons we would not continue using Conversocial are it's lack of comprehensive analytics and its lack of Radian6's categorization tools. Tags make up for the categorization pretty well, however, and we're considering switching everything over to this now that we've tested tags for a couple months within Conversocial. (I previously wrote that Conversocial lacks support for some social channels like Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, but they have now added Instagram and YouTube.)
I give it an 8 due to its usability. Yes, I had a few issues to begin with and needed some assistance from Freshchat agents, but considering this is something that is completely new to me, to set up what feels like a professional chat handling system complete with autobot within a day is really saying something I feel.
Because of the number of features it offers and the manner in which they're presented. I've explored a number of other tools that just don't do it as well. When sorting through and responding to hundreds of social media messages each day, the number of clicks it takes to do something really matters. Conversocial does a great job of minimizing clicks and presenting the data we need without having to click to find it
The experience we had in past for lets say 4-5 months with the support team and our TAM was really helpful. The changes in the bot flow has helped our bot to ensure we connect with customer easily.
Our account rep at Conversocial has set up a call with me every two weeks to check in, talk about new features, or answer questions. I know I can email or call her for help anytime. Their support team also responds quickly.
Comprehensive training in all aspects of the software and general usages (including social media) for both agents and managers. Simulation workshops really made the live deployment process very smooth.
We have used a self-developed solution for the same purpose with full in-house development however the features vs the value that freshchat provided were worth the selection, freshchat achieved overall better performance and received gemerally more praise, some key advantages were related to user experience and performance of the system
Early on we did comparisons with Hootsuite and later with Adobe. While they have similarities, the difference at the time and likely currently, was the personal interest and general accessibility of Conversocial's platform and people. The combination of an effective CRM solution and a team that was readily available to help proved to be the winning formula for our business.
One of the biggest benefits we are seeing is that we have reduced the number of post-holiday complaints coming into head office. Since we are responding to issues and concerns as they arise, we can impact overall customer satisfaction.
The efficiencies gained from using a centralized platform for managing the response process has enabled us to reduce our team by 50%.
We can track that we are responding to a fan's first message within 30 minutes.
We can track the number of messages each user engages with.
We can see the most effective times of day to post and reply.
