Chose Help.com

Help.com stacks up against competitors with their pricing, interface, features and support. I have used similar products in the past but Help.com is by far the best solution. I highly encourage you to use Help.com for your business and see for yourself why they are the best …

Chose Zoho SalesIQ
I find the Zoho chat to be easier to implement across our web applications and WordPress site. I find the bot builder to be the simplest of the lot and was able to get it up and running within a few hours. The pricing is great and their integration with other Zoho products is …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
The option of the desktop application was a missing feature on both of the previously used tools, including having applications for Windows, Linux, as well as MACOS. Having a separate application for the chat agents from the main CRM application was a key missing feature as it …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
Not well. It is a bottom-of-the-barrel tool in all aspects. It does half the features for double the cost it seems. Their pricing models are outdated, their support is awful, onboarding team is useless. Honestly, avoid at all costs if possible. The only reason we used it was …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
Zoho SalesIQ provides the control of the webpage in the hands of the subscriber, through supported live chat. Other Zoho products communicate and integrate with Zoho SalesIQ, hence, a third part application is not a demand any more. Lastly, Zoho SalesIQ has a UI which is …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
I have compared Zoho SalesIQ with some other popular Live Chat softwares that we have used previously or are using currently on our website.
The Live chat softwares are Intercom, LiveChat, and tawk.to.
Zoho SalesIQ is better in terms of price, usage, customer support, lead …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
Tawk to was nice but it was missing a lot of features that Zoho SalesIQ has. And a massively important advantage that SalesIQ had was that it integrated with other Zoho apps that we already used. The pricing of Zoho SalesIQ was also very attractive, we felt that it offered a …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
SalesIQ puts the full control of your website chat into your hands. I don't know that it's better or worse than any other service out there. It really just depends on your needs. If you already have Zoho One, this is a great tool, and you won't need another 3rd party chat …

Google Analytics and HubSpot Marketing Hub
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
We like Zoho SalesIQ better than the Hubspot live visitor tracking; it provides more information and is much more cost effective. I find Intercom.io to be a superior product and we use it on another one of our sites and actually have a noticeably higher interaction rate. …
Chose Zoho SalesIQ
I think that Zoho Salesiq is the missing complement to Google Analtytics. There are very complete and detailed statistics that you receive from Google Analytics but with Zoho Salesiq you have an additional live chat that allows you in any moment to establish contact with your …

Likelihood to Recommend
Help.com is well suited for companies with sales and support departments who have the employee size to manage and respond to visitors chatting. I think a less appropriate scenario would be a company that does not have the employee size to manage the inbound chats as it makes it less valuable if you cannot interact quickly.

This is being used to make it easier for our sales staff to add leads and follow up with them. Our sales team has found it considerably easier to maintain track of leads generated by this service because of the connectivity with CRM. We wanted to learn more about our customers' habits. This work is made incredibly simple and straightforward to accomplish with SalesIQ. It makes a big difference to chat with and engage with customers at the correct time without being aggressive.

  • Overall it's a very simple tool that doesn't offer a lot of complexity or expanded tools
  • Even though it's all in the Zoho family, it doesn't work seemlessly with CRM or other Zoho products
  • Not always the best at identifying similar users across different browsers, devices, etc

The option of the desktop application was a missing feature on both of the previously used tools, including having applications for Windows, Linux, as well as MACOS. Having a separate application for the chat agents from the main CRM application was a key missing feature as it was combined with the complete CRMs tools being used earlier. Website visitors' live and history activity on our website was missing on the tools being used earlier by our Customer Success teams.

  • It has significantly reduced the number of phone calls and emails we used to get. Chat is more convenient for our users. It also means we can provide support with fewer agents as a single agent can work on multiple chats (unlike phone support).
  • Ability to catch and engage with new users that are potential leads has also improved our overall sales program.
  • Letting admin take over chat seamlessly without a transfer lets us provide a better quality support experience to our more important users.
