Like AND, OR conditions. In the same panel you can't have multiple conditions. > > It is overall good for development of simple chatbots like fact sheet chatbot. ----- ### "Great Chat Option" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *14 December 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: At all of the "nodes" there are a ton of options. Whether it be conditional formatting, api, pictures, links, carousels... We decided to go with FreshChat just based on how many options we can offer the customer, instead of just a question and answer format. > > **Cons**: The widget is not as "loud" as we would like it to be when the customer is on the website. We wanted it to pop up and have a message screen ready to interact with the customer, instead of just the widget icon in the corner of the page. > > Overall experience has been fantastic. One of the things we wanted to do before we made the switch was test out the chatbot on our website to make sure that the transition was smooth, and we were assisted every step of the way with implementation. ----- ### "Highlight disappointed. Customer service is almost non-existent. Too many technical difficulties." — 1.0/5 > **Shu** | *26 October 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It appears to have robust features and they attempt to offer cutting edge technologies. > > **Cons**: I am highly disappointed in the Freddy chatbot. It was supposed to their best chatbot but I was extremely disappointed with it. We set up everything in the test environment and we liked how it worked, so we signed up for a one year service. However, after going live, we found out the live mode doesn't work exactly the same way as the preview mode. We went over with them several times and they admitted some functions don't appear to work the same. Their tech support admitted almost all of the errors but they never get back to us. I also asked if I could cancel it but they told me no because I made a one year commitment. I signed up for the service based on how it functioned in the preview model and we didn't think in a million years it would function otherwise. I was also disappointed in lack of tech support. They have great support for FreshDesk but not for FreshChat. When I called the support number, I was told there is no phone support for FreshChat. I emailed and we were able to meet them online to go over the errors and they recognized them but they would just not get back to us. I can’t say I recommend it. > > Highly disappointed. ----- ### "Great for front end customer service" — 4.0/5 > **Rameez** | *12 June 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the chat bot. This is being seen more and more on various websites with huge traffic and Freshchat does it so well. The fact that the bot interacts with you until such a point where it decides that it can no longer assist and only then pushes you through to a human. This is amazing because it allows you to customise so many outcomes. > > **Cons**: The bot is a bit laggy at times and irresponsive. This, however, is not a major issue as it resolves itself after about a minute. There are times when a comm will be sent via the bot but no response will come through for about a minute. > > I love Freshcaht\! It's made customer engagement so much more pleasant for our company as our target audience are not exactly tech-savvy people. This simple and easy to use chatbot is simply a blessing . ----- ### "Best Omnichannel Chat Platform for Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Phaneendra Kumar** | *31 December 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mainly, best Mobile SDK in this segment, Omnichannel communication, Multiple accounts on each channel like facebook, instagram etc.,, easily integrate with whatsapp, best-in-class chatbots > > **Cons**: Options to send SMS through Twilio which is costly for India where lot of cheap options are available. Option to add custom SMS Gateway would have been nice. > > Too good, I am still with them for one of my clients because they liked it very well. The UI does all the magic, it looks really fresh. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/436347/freshchat?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/436347/freshchat) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
