Chose Gladly CX Platform
First of all, the ease of the platform, the way it helps us to make our job faster as they have the customer information on the left of our screenand we have it linked to Shopify. The fact that this program has helped our productivity is amazing, and also, during peak season, …
Chose Gladly CX Platform
Gladly is in a league of its own. None of the other companies I have rated can stack up to Gladly's abilities. You can communicate with customers and coworkers alike. This makes it easy for everyone to be able to be on the same page no matter the topic discussed.
Chose Gladly CX Platform
Gladly truly delivers what other vendors promote:
  • True Omnichannel support.
  • Easy to use UI.
  • Robust reporting.
Hiver
Chose Hiver
Hiver is better than Front as it plugs directly into Gmail so no need to log into a separate email. While Gmelius has more features the price seems to be higher to. So it would depend on the volume and features needed when deciding between Hiver and Gmelius. Both can automate …
Chose Hiver
True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're …

For group emails where follow ups are necessary and tracking the progress of team members is a must, Hiver is a good fit. We have 5 different companies where all the AP flows into 1 group email. This group email is then monitored and the work is delegated to the correct assignee to address those emails.

Cons
  • Gladly continues to enhance the reporting capabilities of the platform making it an even stronger tool with each update.

  • export the rules and import rules
  • bulk update of the rules, one assignee is no longer here we have to go into each rule individually and update
  • adding custom status, integrating with other 3rd party apps so the status can be changed by their triggers

Because I've been using the platform for almost 3 years, and it has been a game changer in our line of work, making the work easier and faster. And in peak season, when we hire new agents, the training is way better and easier. So for me, using this platform has made my job better

Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.

True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're already all accustomed to managing our own G-Suite inbox, so it was simply a matter of teaching the team how to utilize the solution.
