Avaliações do Kayako

Easy to use, depending on your license is very customizable.
Once the ticket is created adding notes, screenshots and files is really simple and fast

API or link to CRM directly is really needed
External add on works but with serious limitations.
Old kayako had a voip system to do phone calls

It brings most, if not all functionality we need. The company still provides an on-premise version of the product. Support has reasonable reaction times, also they most only provide workarounds instead of solid fixes and solutions.

Kayako feels out-dated all along. After two years of the 7.0 php release it still is not even fully compatible with any php 7.x release and up to today relies on the out-dated php 5.x versions. There are many other issues like the HTML-Mailparsing which have not been fixed completely in years now. Also we know Outlook 20xx do not create great HTML-mails still a lot of customers are using it and it is one the most spread applications in companies. But still the emails are not parsed correctly through Kayako. This should definitely have more priority. The forum is full of long threads and requests about this topic. Many people were upset, because resources were spent on creating a new webinterface instead of fixing basic functionality. Maybe customers should be involved in creating the roadmap for the product or at least help prioritizing issues.

Simple, Easy to Use, Customisable and Good Support. We've used this software for over 6 years now and it's never let us down.

Some areas could use updating but they're not broken, just need some improvement :) Also the recent pricing increase was expected but of course paying more for something is always a dislike :)

Being able to manage incoming emails as tasks that can be assigned to people and then easily marked as complete when done has allowed us to work faster and more efficiently.

Some of the options could be easier to use. I think that macros, templates and automated replies could be more user-friendly.

-The possibility to see who is watching the ticket at the same time
- Notes
- Knowledbase
- fast Customer Service

- Reports have mistakes
- Customer Support assistance regarding one and the same report is different. Different answers.
- Very very slow while making a search and trying to find the ticket.
- the search is not working and no results even if it should be.
- while replying - no possibility to see notes
- automatically bring back to the unassigned
- No "Back" possibility while reading different pages of ticket.
- Always necessary to refresh before assign, because few people assign letters quite often.

The interface has not changed in a very long time. For a quick open/close ticketing system it works great. It is very easy for a person to just start using it with about a 15 minute explanation.

The software hasn't changed in a long time. It looks very dated. The functionality is very much lacking. There are bugs that are unresolved. Things can get very lost very easily. There are some easy features that can be added that would enhance the software a lot.

UI: It's clear to use, lot of space for the ticket conversation. Ability to publish KB articles through web portal. Rather stable.

SLA's not always working correctly. Complex administation in some things (templates, template groups etc) resulting in long learning curve for administration.

Kayako offers great flexibility for a cloud based customer support system. Their customer support is great.

Reporting could be a little more robust, and being able to select defaults for tickets is a much needed improvement we're still waiting for

It is fairly easy to navigate through this software and sort through tickets. The custom views that you can create allow you to be able to chose what information on the tickets will appear in your ticket queue. Also the built in knowledge base is a helpful tool.

My only complaint is that there is not a feature to enter and keep track of inventory like other help-desk systems.

- Standard support tracking software not trying to "re-invent" how support should run.
- Price is "ok", but alternatives should be considered first, given more mature platforms are available for the same price point.
- Ability to offer Email / Chat / Social support which are well integrated
- KB articles is included which is good, fairly configurable on the visual front (ie more than Intercom)
- Ready to go if you are looking for a simple support system with a single team / person / level of support.

- The integration with the KB articles is incomplete and there is no value-add in using a single platform for both KB + Ticketing.
- Live Chat messenger is limited in functionality
- We have discovered that the software was completely overhaul 2 years ago to make it cloud-based (previously server installed) and not as stable as one would expect for a 10 yo company.
- Their support is passing the "buck" continuously and ends up closing issues which were not resolved.
- features are promised to be delivered with ETA and are either not delivered or half-baked
- full disclosure we are planning on migrating away within 3 months.

I like how effective Kayako's support team is. They reply in a timely manner to help fix the issues at hand. I also enjoy how easy it is to use, and allows for employees to stay on top of logged faults, tasks and other items within the system while providing detailed updates to keep the customers in the loop. Kayako has been our main helpdesk software for the past 7 years.

There is not too much I don't like about Kayako, I believe their live chat incorporation to websites could use some work. It would also be perfect if they can link it to CRM as we currently have to use these separately.

Email queue functionality and the user interface.

It does not have much capability in reporting functionality.

the speed increase and the stability even though we have 100's of thousands of tickets.
I'm assuming you're using more AJAX to load content which helped to improve the speed.
I especially like the "light" design and how minimalistic the design of the site is. The focus is on speed which in return helps with speed of customer service.
Use of the LoginShare to connect with OAuth2 to allow single login ID is fantastic.

somewhat complex upgrade.
technically the upgrade process is not that bad considering the sheer number of attachments in the system.

1. Multi department integration & queues in one interface
2. Easy SQL to generate possibly any report you want
3. Full Active directory integration
4. Best of Customer service i know of.
5. The support team knows what they are talking about. The resolution to any of my issues resolve in less then 20 min
6. Staff automatically know what to do
7. Knowledge base is very helpful

1. Searching is a big pain ( Good luck searching with tags )
2. Online support require ugly desktop software

Features are OK - but they need to be more up to date. Due to poor customer support and communication, we are not aware of new features/functions.

The customer support is horrible. You cannot contact them directly. Your only option is to leave a message yet if you want to buy the product you can speak to a representative immediately. This is a customer support platform and it is very ironic they have horrible customer support access.

Overall this software gives satisfaction in customer support and ticket handling. It is increasing new features day by day with new UI elements also. Its whitelabelling feature is also very good. Email parsing is also customisable which is also good one. The Knowledgebase and Troubleshooter feature also works well. Support agent can be equipped with Chat facility. Kayako have good support team which is available 24*7 which makes easy for us to implement and use this software

- This software legs on HTML email parsing side which can be improved.
- On pricing part, they are charging on higher side and they needs to be competitive.

Kayako provides the flexibility we need to keep engaged and communicated both with our external and internal customers. Our support departments love the simplicity and clarity of the communication, and our clients have gained a tool through which they feel close to our team. Working with Kayako has made our life easier!

There are not many cons to our experience. Even as we believe that the tool might help us better integrate additional internal users to simplify the behind-the-scenes processes we have, we do believe that they way the tool is built now is great.

When I have time to contact their support they have been very helpful unfortunately I do not have time to perform their software testing.

Unable to attach documents to a ticket.
Search facility doesn't work as expected.
Need knowledge of sql to run a report.
If you forget to type the 'to' email address and hit send you are not notified and lose the text that you typed.

The way you can have email flow into Kayako and form request in one system.
The macros which allow quick answers to everyday request.
The tech support is great and always have a solution

To change from Classic to the hosted version is a big change and if you have customized pages something will not transfer over.

Ability to create custom fields to accommodate our business needs. Ability to create custom views. Ability to add private notes on a ticket, profile, and organization.

There is no customer support for the product and all enhancements or basic customer support questions must be sent to one consultant.

Always available. Ease of use. Customization ability. Availability of support staff, Knows the product inside and out.

Only ONE feature, does not print the notes when using the PRINT functions. Cost to add another user a bit higher than expected.

The software appears like since the design has been made more minimal.
The speed of updates and changes to a ticket is fantastic

Upgrades are always a pain, but it seems it's optimized as best as can be possible.
Other than that, there really isn't much to complain about
