What is your favorite aspect of this product?
One of the aspects that I appreciate the most about this customer service tool is that it is very easy to use as well as having a lot of useful functionalities such as being able to create a discussion forum, this helps us to debate which would be the best. way to solve a problem and also has the functionality of being able to create surveys with this last functionality we can choose which would be the best option to implement.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Very few negative things could be said about this customer service tool but there are some oddities about how tickets are created and some scripts that must be done to notify team members but otherwise, it works quite well.
