Considered Both Products
Gladly CX Platform
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.
TeamSupport
Chose TeamSupport
It has allowed us to have a sturdy client database, assign responsibilities, and have facilitated multi-channel conversation and stay chat.
Chose TeamSupport
We have looked into Zendesk and previously moved from Axosoft to TeamSupport. TeamSupport is definitely better than Axosoft when it comes to fuctionality and ease of use. Zendesk is probably the best and widely used but of course that comes with a price. If the organization is …
Chose TeamSupport
Way more functionality than the platform we previously used. The easy of use and customization allowed us to get up and running quickly. The intuitiveness of the software made creating better reports a breeze. From a cost perspective we were able to get our per ticket support …
Chose TeamSupport
TeamSupport has many features that my company was looking for in a help desk management software. It allows multiple users to communicate with customers, as well as the transparency for users to see the communication that takes place with other individuals in the company. It …
Chose TeamSupport
TeamSupport provides an easy to set up, easy to manage ticketing platform for our company. While SolarWinds and ConnectWise offer more bells and whistles, they also require a great deal of setup and configuration and more time managing. TeamSupport also comes in a very …
Chose TeamSupport
TeamSupport is the clear leader for Customer Support software. I've used numerous other software that pales in comparison. There are aspects of the software that could use improvement, like the overall speed of the system, but we are happy with the software and I don't …
Chose TeamSupport
We found that TeamSupport did everything we needed to house our clients information as well as our general KB's and Wiki's. It's also the best way to house current clients, whereas we use another CRM for prospective customers to keep them separated. As a company, we decided to …
Chose TeamSupport
I was referred to Zendesk, but upon further investigation found TeamSupport. To be honest, the name helped direct me. I felt that I was looking more for "team support" than a "zen desk." Once I made contact with the TeamSupport staff, I was impressed with their personal …
Chose TeamSupport
We were running for many years the RightNow solution in a self-hosted type solution. We were being forced to the cloud to get updates to the software which prompted us to evaluate other products. RightNow Cloud and TeamSupport came out on top of our list of features we wanted. …
Chose TeamSupport
TeamSupport is a far superior CRM system, although it's missing any options or support for billing.
Chose TeamSupport
Previous to TeamSupport, we used a product called Request Tracker (RT.) It had absolutely no way for sorting or organizing tickets, so TeamSupport is definitely a better product in that regard.

I was not involved in the TeamSupport selection process, so I can't speak to that.
Chose TeamSupport
The only other system we used was IssueView and it was very clunky. It wasn't cloud based and really restricted our work flow. TeamSupport is a huge improvement to that old dying system. Access from anywhere is super important to get things done on the spot and from anywhere.
Chose TeamSupport
TeamSupport is a much more modern, intuitive and user-friendly version of NetSuite with many additional bells and whistles. NetSuite has a business only facade with a rather clunky interface and system. TeamSupport compares favorably and meets business needs while being a much …
Chose TeamSupport
Footprints was far inferior to Team Support. WAAAAY too busy and hard to navigate!
Chose TeamSupport
Jira is used more for development and for agile project managing. We personally use Jira in other departments and for different tracking and management needs. TeamSupport is more user friendly to the typical user and overall provides more of what we need in a ticketing system …
Chose TeamSupport
My previous manager selectd TeamSupport as I was not really involved in that decision. This does stack up better than the others as it has more functionality and one thing I like is that it has an email to ticket function which allows for a more streamlined workflow.
Chose TeamSupport
We initially were looking at Zendesk and even went as far to purchase one license. After some testing, we realized Zendesk was too focused on emails. Every customer had to have an email address. This would not work with our business process so we began looking for alternatives. …
Chose TeamSupport
I have not tried any other product.
Chose TeamSupport
I belive that ticket tracking service of Salesforce was another name when we evaluated it but TeamSupport provides a robust solution that works with SaaS providers at a fraction of the cost.
Chose TeamSupport
Our main reason for choosing TeamSupport was the functionality was equal or better to other software trialled but also there was the added bonus of being able to synchronise with Salesforce CRM without the need to upgrade Salesforce as was the case with other help desk …
Chose TeamSupport
TeamSupport is lacking features that Zendesk has, but I feel in time TeamSupport will catch up to Zendesk.
Chose TeamSupport
Less customizability, but much less expensive to implement. The web based architecture is a benefit to TeamSupport, the last version of Remedy I used required a locally installed copy. TeamSupport also has a minimalistic user interface which results in a smaller learning curve …

How many departments will be using TeamSupport and how many "Groups" will I therefore need to create? The answer will impact how much you are spending on TeamSupport. The same goes for individual employees who use it. Additionally, you should ask how important uptime is and get assurance on how quickly issues will be resolved if there is downtime from TeamSupport during business hours. Finally, you should ask how the reporting component will meet your needs.

Pros
  • Keeps record of previous interactions/customer history.
  • Displays customer profile, orders and inquiries simultaneously.
  • Allows for excellent employee management (as in seeing where the team is at individually and collectively during a work day).

  • Ease of Use. TeamSupport is very well laid out and is obviously being designed by people that have their customers in mind. I can find what I need quickly and have found none of the customizable features to be confusing.
  • TeamSupport supports their clients well. Anytime I need help, they are an email or phone call away and I receive prompt, if not immediate assistance.
  • TeamSupport integrates with our Salesforce CRM well. The integration was as easy as entering a token and then choosing the fields I want to sync to Salesforce. The initial import of data from Salesforce did not give me all of my customers, but that was because of how I had Salesforce set up and after talking to TeamSupport and making a few changes, we restarted the data import and it has been smooth sailing ever since. Now my Sales Staff can see what is happening on the ticket side of their accounts without having to ask, because TeamSupport automatically updates Cases in Salesforce. Very well done feature.

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

  • I would be interested in seeing a way to sort tickets under 2 filters. Example: I'd love to be able to sort my tickets oldest to newest - AND - by customer within the first filter.
  • I would also like to be able to customize my user profile. I think it would be cool to be able to change colors and formats.
  • I love TeamSupport!

The software is easy to use and more than fulfills our minimum requirements for a tech support database tool. TeamSupport is constantly adding new features, both that they identified themselves and that were directly requested by TeamSupport users. One of the most important things that a company does is communicate with its customers, especially when there is a problem. While we would all prefer to never have any down time, that just isn't possible. So when something happens it is critical you keep your users informed of what is going on and how long it will take to fix things. TeamSupport gets an A+ when it comes to keeping customers informed. You can make the answers in your tickets available in an FAQ. Obviously, the longer you stick with TeamSupport, the more complete and useful the FAQ will be for your customers

Usability
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

I think some things could be a little more user-friendly: specifically the dashboard. Although it's fantastic and makes life so much nicer, I'd like to have more control on it's customization. I'd like to be able to default what's collapsed and what's expanded...instead of everything expanding by default each time I load it. But the portal offers great tools and guides on workarounds.

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.

TeamSupport's communication for service issues/maintenance are always visible. They also offer many opportunities for training on the software via webinar. Additionally, their support team has been available for coaching and guidance on how to use the software more effectively. They also offer training on creating customized reports to suit our specific organizational needs.

Data import was the most difficult hurdle for us to get over. The mass import was handled through an Excel spreadsheet. TeamSupport doesn't use Microsoft Office products for the most part so they were relying on Google Docs which has limitations over Excel. Special characters and html in import cells can be a issue with importing. When creating a data export from your current system, special care needs to be taken so that the data is able to be processed into TeamSupport without issues.

We have looked into Zendesk and previously moved from Axosoft to TeamSupport. TeamSupport is definitely better than Axosoft when it comes to fuctionality and ease of use. Zendesk is probably the best and widely used but of course that comes with a price. If the organization is big and a larger customer base, then is makes sense to use Zendesk.

  • When we first began using TeamSupport we were also preparing for an important review of our software product. Of course, our customer service was being evaluated also. We had about 80 people involved in our review and comments about our customer service came back excellent every time. One of our main goals is to provide exceptional customer support, but we could not have done it without TeamSupport.
