Gorgias vs. KronoDesk

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.

I advise my customers to use it for all issue tracking, in business development as well as in business operations. An interface to operational systems is therefor very helpful and enlarges the value of the KronoDesk knowledge base, provided that this information is "open" to all users of all departments.

• Tagging- the tagging system was a great way to stay organized.
• Rules- when you have 49 inboxes implementing rules on when to fire a macro or auto tag is necessary and Gorgias’ UI was easy to understand and execute.
• Integrations- I had to integrate with dozens of inboxes many times using aliases and most of the time Gorgias was able to help.

• As a system architect I have a clear overview of open issues through clear issue description and assignment to developers.
• The overview and tracking are most important to me.

• Rules are powerful, but clunky, showing them to others can put them off as it looks "easy to break" because of their messy nature.
• Pricing seems to be increasing due to the inclusion of more advanced AI that currently does not provide value.
• Macros could really use contextual support, or a hotkey system to make it easier to pick highly used ones that aren't in the top 3.

Incentivized

• The possibility to create a system/subsystem/component/interface tree of the system landscape, to be used to more detailed issue associations and subsequent detailed planning and monitoring of issues.
• A quick issue entry with the most important information would be helpful.
• A "live" report that can contains my current "hot" issues would be helpful.

Gorgias is still by far most the most complete customer service tool to handle multiple responses and channels at a single umbrella without the needs of opening multiple tabs and sometimes will even make us missed some messages what supposed to be taken care of at a timely manner

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

Several freeware/shareware tools like Bugzilla are missing integration with other systems. HP, IBM and CA like systems are too cumbersome and complicated for "normal" users, for me too much "hassle" to monitor issues and related information and links to other issues.

• Drastically reduced our response time from 2 business days, to 2 hours on average.
• Made it easier to sync data for damaged item, allowing us to better understand damages.
• Allowed us to easily see that statistics of what kind of issues we are seeing from our customers.

• The ROI is reached faster and exponentially higher, depending on the number of users and cooperating business units.
