great product, very easy to use.

What do you like best? User friendly for the staff and end-user. I love that we are able to basically utilize the software without having to be on the web-portal very often and can view all tickets via email. I love that we can post articles, documents, and files. It is basic enough where it does not get very confusing, but it also has a lot of complex features if you want to utilize them. I love that we were able to add our own logo to the website and customize it. Each user is able to ...

Forward thinking company, feature rich product, with a knowledgeable team and great community

What do you like best? There are so many features which are well thought out which simply save us time. Our SLA warnings really help our internal support to ensure that we don't forget to update tickets when we get busy. There are literally 100's of reports out the box, which was great for us as we got metrics to some things we had not even thought about!. We have yet to utilize the products full potential, mainly due to the depth of flexibility, but everything works flawlessly, and the ...

Enterprise-class, feature-packed and well organized helpdesk

What do you like best? We use Kayako helpdesk since 2007 as the main support channel for our clients. What we like most is that Kayako was always feature-packed, but very well organized at the same time, without making the software bloated. There's a function for everything, making the helpdesk very effective for the staff and clients. Security seems to play a very important role, as we haven't seen any vulnerability "in the wild" that wasn't discovered and patched in time by the ...

Long term happy user

What do you like best? We like the configurability of the tool. It's simple and easy to explain to new support agents and customers. By hosting it in the cloud, we have simplified our support model across the world. Our staff can login from anywhere and look and respond to tickets. We have added new priorities, status and custom fields so make the system meet our business needs. I have looked at other systems, but this seems the most straightforward solution. What do you dislike? If I ...

Meets Basic Help Desk Needs but Doesn't Meet Tomorrow's Needs

What do you like best? Ticketing software works well. Easy to setup users and support staff. Creating a knowledge base is helpful for users to solve their own issues. User portal works well. One place for users to go and create a ticket and look at knowledge base articles (especially those that are recommended while creating a ticket is a very helpful feature. Creation of knowledge base articles is easy and very flexible. This makes it easy for us to create articles that users need and ...

Kayako help our team to quickly solve customer problems

What do you like best? I like possibility of using Download option with database installed on our servers. We can generate some custom reports accessing database regarding our team performance. What do you dislike? VOIP option with 3rd party operator was not working to well. Our team switched to Zoiper for VOIP. Phone support is not our main channel so it is small disadvantage for our team. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We have ...
