Considered Both Products
Gorgias
Chose Gorgias
The most comprehensive app that serving against multiples big brands and the reliability of message being transmitted.
Chose Gorgias
We chose Gorgias as it was a new and upcoming piece of software that had a lot of features that Freshdesk still had "WIP" for who knows how long. Everything Freshdesk did, it was doing better at that time, along with newer and better automations. And at least early on, it was …
Chose Gorgias
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 …
JitBit Help Desk
Chose JitBit Help Desk
JitBit Help Desk is more modern and easy to use (web-based). Customizing different areas is also simpler. Product is still receiving feature updates.
Chose JitBit Help Desk
JitBit just had the feature set at the cost point we were willing to spend. Nothing against the other products, but this one just fit our model better.
Chose JitBit Help Desk
We've looked at several different Help Desk solutions, but the names escape me at the moment. We looked at Spiceworks and didn't find it to be bad but we didn't like the ads. There is a purchase version for about $500/year, but we still decided against it--I can't recall why. …
Chose JitBit Help Desk
JitBit is great. The price is great. The support is great. You can feel that it's growing in the right direction.

JitBit is one of those tools that I mention in converstaion. There's lots of systems that I hate talking about because you just think of the headaches, regret, and …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Helps to create a continuous conversation between our team and the user. It was clean and easy to understand, training was less than a day for most newbies. Your Devs, Sales, Marketing Support, Management can all use one hub to talk to your users and gather feedback. Helped us expand our teams and realize what directions we needed to expand in. Support supports, Sales sells, Marketing markets... It's like a beautiful dance! It's hard to say that JitBit is right for you, but I can't imagine the industry that JitBit wouldn't work in. You put it in front of an employee, and they know what to do next.

Cons
  • 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.

  • JitBit HelpDesk is not free. There is no free version. It would be nice if they had a free, limited version that would allow 100 tickets to get used to it before buying as it is pretty expensive, even for the lowest end implementation.
  • I wish it were easy to integrate forms into. I've seen numerous questions around the Net about integrating Google Forms or creating forms.
  • There is a strong push from JitBit to use the cloud version but some companies really have to use an on-premise solution.

Usability
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

We've looked at several different Help Desk solutions, but the names escape me at the moment. We looked at Spiceworks and didn't find it to be bad but we didn't like the ads. There is a purchase version for about $500/year, but we still decided against it--I can't recall why. JitBit's reviews and history are both very good. And if two years worth of no issues is any indication of how well it works, then that alone speaks for itself. I have used other Help Desk applications over the past 20 years and none are perfect, but a hassle-free experience gets a gold star from me.
