Migrated to Gorgias from the other guys :)

We migrated from ZenDesk over to Gorgias and it was seamless. The Gorgias support team was responsive and helped every step along the way. Since migration we havent encountered any issues with our BigCommerce integration and the team is happy to have moved.

Easy to use and great results!

The system is simple, easy to use and saves a lot of time! They are always a stones throw away if assistance is needed and are always adding new features to keep us on top of the game.

I highly recommend Gorgias to any business that want to streamline their customer service channels and drive production.

Gorgias is a joy for both our customer support and customers to us.

I appreciate how we are kept informed of technical bugs or outages.
Gorgias staff is very sharing in answering questions and informative about their roadmap in their frequent Town Hall videos.
I'm still learning new ways to use such a powerful tool. For example, I know that the Help Center will be great for my customers, but I have not yet set it up.
Just hoping they don't increase the price.

Pros and cons

Pros: Gorgias improved itself quickly and now it has different channels like desk, live chat and call center. As a rising trend, the omniroute system can be used within Gorgias. The user interface is easy to manage. The most important feature of Gorgias is pricing. Its pricing plans are different than the other desk softwares. It does not limit the user numbers while the others demand highly expensive amounts.

Cons: Automatically omniroute assignment system should be developed.

Overall happy with this CRM

We've been using Gorgias for almost a year now, and I love it. We are a smaller business so it works well for us. Any time I've had a question, they have been quick to respond and very helpful.
That said, things I would love to see for the future are:

-Read Receipts (occasionally we end up in customer's spam)
- Cleaner/simpler ways to set up filters and automations, setting up filters can be a little tricky. We have an auto-responder set up for weekends, I would love to be able to set it on a timer rather than manually turning it on every Friday and off every Monday.
- Better options for adding signatures. We can't copy/paste our normal emails signature into the Gorgias box without the format looking wonky and had to change it a little bit.

We've used Gorgias for just about 2…

We've used Gorgias for just about 2 years now and if you love consistent down times with the inability to respond to your own customers than it is a great service.

When Gorgias is experiencing issues, nothing on your front-end is changed. So customers can still send you messages and you can't respond to them. Gorgias doesn't even put a message out to customers that there is an issue with the live chat.

Ironically, when you look for support from Gorgias on their "live chat", there is never anyone to be found. They've even swapped it over to some useless automated messaging that is the same level of useful as Amazon Seller Support.

We've given Gorgias multiple chances because the platform itself has a lot of potential. But they don't seem to want to make the basic fixes that merchants want.

If you're looking at Gorgias, here are some of the features that are missing.

1. You cannot put in vacation hours for the storefront, only by person only. So the live chat widget is active at all times, even if you are not. The only way around this is to modify your business hours every time there is a Holiday.

Or, you deactivate the widget all together. The kicker? If a customer has your website cached, they will still see the Gorgias widget and be able to send you messages but on your end it will say "Gorgias has been deactivated, please reactivate to reply to this message". Very business friendly.

2. No variability between the Desktop and Mobile experience. Everyone knows mobile shopping is booming and the fact that this isn't even an option is simply outstanding in 2021.

3. Removing features from the plan you're paying for and putting it in a plan at 2.5x the price without telling you those changes are being made or any sort of grandfather period. Excellent way to keep your loyal customers on board.

At this point, we're going to look at apps like RE:amaze and see what they have on offer as we've given Gorgias multiple chances. If this is how they treat a customer who has been with them for 2 years, I can't imagine the treatment new customers get.

I decided to give Gorgias one more chance to see if they could deal with the most basic frustrations before posting this review and the below happened.

I sent this review over to Gorgias through their live chat support at 10:37am on July 28th, 2021. At 1:22pm PST, I still had not received a response even though their support hours are listed from 9am - 7pm PST. Finally at 1:35pm PST, I received a response that they completely understood my frustrations and would pass it along to the management team who would arrange a call the next day.

Aleksandra sent an e-mail at 8:08am PST on Thursday, July 29th to confirm that 2pm was a good time for her to chat today. I confirmed with her at 11:37am PST.

It is now 2:06pm PST and I have yet to receive a confirmation from her or a phone call. Clearly Gorgias did not understand our frustrations and we are unfortunately forced to leave this review.

We're truly sorry to hear this has been your impression of our service after 2 years, Taron. While our support is 24/7 we use automated messaging to respond to customers before they can reach one of our agents. We always try to respond as soon as possible in given circumstances as our customers are our priority. We can assure you that we do not take any feedback lightly, regardless of whether it's positive or negative and that we will look into this matter in order to find the most agreeable solution for you. We honestly hope that you will give us another chance to improve your experience. Our manager Aleksandra scheduled a meeting for last Friday and is waiting for a confirmation for which date we should reschedule this. We'll book this in as soon as we get a confirmation. Thank you in advance!

Unethical policy. Removed Plan features retrospectively

We have been using Gorgias and paying over $300 per month for a pro plan which included "Private Views".
However, in Feb they changed the plan features retrospectively and now asking us to pay $750/mo just to get those features that were part of the original pro plan when we signed up.

This is a highly unethical business practice. Any change to plans should be for the future subscribers and not existing clients. Three thumbs down. We are already looking for alternatives.

We're sad to hear this has been your impression of our service, Samuel. While we did have important reasons why we needed to implement this change, we understand how it could have impacted you negatively and we apologise for any inconvenience you might have experienced. We've sent you a message on Trustpilot to confirm the account in question and once it's confirmed we'll be in touch regarding this matter. Thanks in advance.

Rubbish support, incomplete documentation and emails wont sent........

Generally the support is very poor once you are onboarded, technical information on their support website is often inaccurate or incomplete and currently we are unable to verify our emails following their guide. So basically this is a customer service system that we can be sure gets emails to our customers.
Therefore now 1 star.
