HelpScout Review

What do you like best? I like that everyone's mailbox is easy to access. It's especially nice if someone is out of the office and you need to jump in to help someone out. What do you dislike?

Especially if you're trying to help someone and the email they're trying to send isn't coming through What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We use HelpScout for customer ...

Easy to Use Support Ticket Software

What do you like best? I like how simple HelpScout is to use. It's powerful without feeling dauting. What do you dislike? Workflows only run once. It would be nice if you could set a workflow to run multiple times. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? HelpScout allows you to manage incoming support emails with other team members. The traffic cop feature is very helpful.
