HappyFox delivered a more cost effective solution and asset management had no limit. The main problem I saw with the various other services I demoed, was the up charges. The pricing seems manageable until you see that they charge for every 100 or so of this and 100 of that. …
HappyFox has a customer tracking gadget or capacity, which acts as a feedback and survey solution. The classification of complaints is another feature that HappyFox embraces. The escalation management has been a suitable experience for HappyFox. Calls and live chat are the …
HappyFox Help Desk has more functionality than SupportBee and is better IMO if you have multiple departments working on a single ticket. The SupportBee interface in some ways was simpler, but it also just had way fewer functions. There's a lot of stuff with smart rules you can …
Mojo was an okay ticket system but it was difficult to track. You also couldn’t consolidate between messages very well, which would leave you with long threads to deal with and waste time. With Mojo, it suited our needs for a time but as the company grew, it became clear we …
HappyFox's only true competitor of those listed above was Zendesk. Mojo and Spiceworks each had major letdowns. Mojo was not as intuitive and lacked the ability to customize and trigger things. Spiceworks was limited to windows as far as client use. Both of these options cost …
Oracle Service is a powerful service where the customers or clients can be evaluated in-depth. It provides a unified way where the customers can also raise complaints that can further be evaluated or resolved by the monitoring team to enhance the product. Also, it offers a lot …
Oracle Service is slightly on the expensive side in terms of pricing but it offers powerful features as well. As compared to Intercom, Oracle Service is suitable for large companies, and the support in the case of Intercom is available only by phone and email while in the case …
Oracle Service seems to have the advantage of providing many opportunities to companies if they have the right knowledge base. It opened our eyes to what possibilities were afforded to us by exploring the different options that existed. None of the options seemed to be more …
Oracle Service is the best fit for companies already using other Oracle products. Though Salesforce Service Cloud is equally good in most aspects, Oracle is once again an ecosystem of products like Oracle EBS where seamless integration is possible. Most of our clients were …
Mainly because of the name Oracle, it's a world leading company backed by a large user community in a broad range of different products. We needed the certainty of good support team behind the product and Oracle could deliver on this much better.
Oracle Service Cloud offers a wide range of communication channels that optimize and innovate the company's communication process and management with our customers.
I was not a part of the company when it was selected. Newer software has come out since but OSC had become so integrated with our ecosystem of software that it would be difficult to get rid of now. It has become more of a necessity than a desire to have. If possible down the …
I was not part of the team to make the selection. I worked as a user of both products, and from that point of view can say that Oracle Service Cloud offers a better GUI.
The biggest factor in my selection of this product was how our techs wanted to use a Help Desk. Everyone was already accustomed to email because that's how everything was done in the past. More than that, people often responded to inquiries on their phones via email. I needed a help desk software that could be used almost entirely by email. After demoing HappyFox, I knew I had found what I was looking for. Tickets, based on what department they are for, arrive in the appropriate tech's inbox. Techs can respond and HappyFox will forward their reply to the customer. All conversations are logged on the site so that they can be reviewed later, by us or the customer. With Smart Rules we could begin to get creative and open up even more options to allowing our techs to work solely through email. For example our managers have the ability to assign tickets to employees purely through email based on the text they enter. We also have the ability to respond to an email and close it. This speeds up resolution times by allowing everything to be handled through email. For everything else the web interface is a breeze to use
Oracle Right (Oracle Service Cloud) was an important evolution in the group's ombudsman channel management processes. We brought the Oracle Service Cloud to digitize the processes for capturing and managing the group's ombudsman channel, no longer operating manually (MS Excel).
Oracle Service Cloud (Right Now) brought about an important evolution in the management processes of the group's ombudsman channel, where activities that were performed manually, repetitively and with risk of errors, are now operated by the Right Now platform itself, whether by API, or by automation of the tool.
HappyFox is restricted in what it can offer (particularly the free version,) yet it functions exceptionally well as a support ticketing framework.
Clients have an portal to submit tickets, mind progress, and react to support assistant's updates or plans.
Administrators can track tickets, see what's left open, and set up plans that ensure tickets are not overlooked and are given the best possible priority to get dealt with.
Oracle Service cloud handles incident management extremely well. It can accept requests from multiple channels. That includes email, website, phone, chat, SMS & some social.
Oracle Service cloud provides a knowledge base that can be used by customers or by agents. It can move consumers to self service for most issues. It also has good feedback from customers and agents so that the knowledge can continue to be updated to push people to more self service.
Oracle has a good consumer portal that can be used as a website or typically is used in conjunction with a main website as a contact center or help center site. This allows the contact center to manage both the knowledge and the request and the interactions with the customers.
Oracle Service cloud is built to provide a turn key solution for CRM/Contact center with some minor configuration. But it also has the ability to be highly customized to meet any companies needs. Much of that work can be done via the configuration options already in the system. It also have a full set of SOAP and Rest APIs for integrating to other systems.
Their interface is a bit busy and overwhelming sometimes.
Still getting notified on too many tickets I haven't even looked at, despite our in-house specialist assuring me I don't have any incorrect alerts set up. Seems HappyFox Help Desk is working on this.
This is only an occasional, user problem; when searching for specific records, at times we receive an error that the maximum size has been exceeded and therefore does not yield any results. This is particularly frustrating when trying to search for a specific street address across several years.
The way we have our implementation customized has allowed us to tailor the application to exactly how we would like to use it. We didn't have to change our procedures and fear the potential of poor adoption. Instead we customized the application to be used the way we already ran our help desk. From there on out we reaped the benefits of quicker resolutions, increased transparency, and much happier end users. After setting up Smart Rules, HappyFox does a lot of thinking for us. Tickets go where they need to go, close when they are supposed to close and even remind techs of inactivity. This removes the necessity for micromanagement, which is appreciated by our employees and managers alike
I give this rating to RightNow because I believe that it's a strong CRM (I know RightNow doesn't like this term) product with virtually limitless possibilities. I like how flexible RightNow is, allowing businesses to fully customize it for their needs. I also like that it's cloud based and doesn't require additional local installation and management.
The learning curve is fairly steep; but for something that has this much capability, it's nearly impossible to make it "easy". The layout and organization are at least reasonably intuitive. The hardest part-- the "weakest link"-- is the portal development (where you can build help centers and other end-user pages.) The capabilities there are significant, but the learning curve for that part is especially steep and it takes a fair amount of expertise to be able to update it.
We use a lot of tabs and fields on our incident workspace, which should slow the system down, but it's still quite fast, and we continue to optimize whatever is possible.
Technicians seem to be assessed based solely on how quickly they close the issues. I've had to reopen requests multiple times because they didn't actually solve my problem. Also, when the issue has even a moderate amount of complexity, the technicians often instruct me to "open another SR" to handle the other issue. I'm the customer, I shouldn't have to follow their processes, they should handle that for me. But even when I create the new SR, it seems like their right hand isn't talking to their left - they aren't reading back to the previous issue for context. So I get bounced around a lot, and I have to tell them how to do their job
Most of our training was given while doing user acceptance testing, and getting the system approved by the market. When ever we were in doubt, our implementer helped us along. Later on we started exploring by our selves.
Work with a RightNow expert during the implementation. Explain features that would you like to have. Often, somebody who really knows the system can show you what you need to do to achieve the desired results. Where a RightNow support engineer or a consultant might say "the system can't do that," a RightNow application engineer will listen to what you need, and often come up with an alternate path to achieve it
Mojo was an okay ticket system but it was difficult to track. You also couldn’t consolidate between messages very well, which would leave you with long threads to deal with and waste time. With Mojo, it suited our needs for a time but as the company grew, it became clear we needed a more robust ticket system to work efficiently.
TCS' customers who also selected Oracle Service Cloud over Salesforce Service Cloud and GE's ServiceMax in the Mfg. vertical in which I work, did so because of the robust ability of Oracle Service Cloud and its APIs to integrate with other value-add solutions for manufacturers such as IoT applications, Big Data Analytics, and Field Service applications.
