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 …

Chose Vision Helpdesk
At the time we switched from GrooveHQ to Vision Helpdesk, Groove lacked the features we were looking for and Vision Helpdesk had what we wanted at a much more affordable cost.
Chose Vision Helpdesk
I tried many different help desk systems, but finally I choose Vision Helpdesk as it is most affordable for a small business or small companies. As we are from Latvia, it is very hard to make business with lack of money. But we wanted to get a good product - it is the best …
Chose Vision Helpdesk
We have personally used Kayako for couple of years, but it lacks in terms of features and is very costly compared to Vision Helpdesk and has less features.We have [used] trials of Zendesk but it is SAAS based with many restrictions. Vision Helpdesk can offer a multi-company …
Chose Vision Helpdesk
Vision Helpdesk was more open for an NGO while the other companies were more attended on the "big-money", which we don't have as an NGO. Second point is that Vision Helpdesk is very easy and simple to use. Not too much installation, programming etc.

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.

Vision Helpdesk helps with multiple company support and offers an excellent Blabby feature. Another great addition they have made to this software is a service desk with an ITIL /ITSM feature. This helps with our our multi-location office requirements issues.

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.

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

Support from Vision Helpdesk was rather lackluster. We uncovered a bug pretty early on in our use of the system and it took them about a month to fix it. Our internal admin of the system had to keep pestering them to get it fixed. It wasn't critical to our business but was something we needed fixed and it just seemed like they didn't care that much about fixing it.

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
