Easy to use application

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? Kayako is a user-friendly software for our agents and customers. We don’t have to log into the web portal as we can see all tickets through email. It is easy to post files, documents, and articles. The software is basic and yet offers plenty of advanced features if you are interested in them. I appreciate that we can customize the website by adding our company logo to it. It is simple for each user to set up their own rules for the ...

Kayako as support tracking system

What do you like best? It's very well organized by setting my tickets and also by folder and type. Also the levels setup are displayed on the left list showing you if the tickets are being processed or stuck or in another level. I also saw that is a good tool to keep tracking on each participant and retrieve measurements over the SLA assigned. What do you dislike? Some times images sent by mail are not loaded in the ticket itself, so you have to go to the mail to check that images. But ...

Initially, the low cost put me off as I thought it wouldn’t be as good as the higher priced systems. However, Kayako’s features and capabilities have beat my expectations. What aspects are problematic or could work better? There are a few occasional issues, but the product is great overall. We took our time to upgrade to Version 4, but the upgrade has made our user experience more ...

Kayako - Helpdesk that can evolve

What do you like best? I like the fact that I am able to organize and keep track of the tickets I need to attend using many subfolders under my main folder. What do you dislike?
