### "Useful tool in organisations"

April 21, 2020

4.0

Good, good support.

Pros

Integration of several communication channels

Cons

Some useful utilities which you are used to in Outlook are not available in Trengo. But the advantages of Trengo compensate the lack of these utilities. Some proposals (with a big advantage for us and the use of Trengo) for a small amendment are not honoured yet

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Trengo

The integration of communication channels and use within a team.

### "Lots of potential but needs work"

February 28, 2025

3.0

Trengo has a lot of potential as a product but needs to fix some of the glitches and add more features such as having a "draft" section, and some bugs with the calls. The app is super helpful however it is slow and occasionally glitches as well.

Pros

Having all communications in one place (emails, Instagram messages, phone calls)

Cons

That you can not have "draft" messages saved, that the calls sometimes drop

### "Great feature richt and easy to use software that saves time"

April 22, 2020

5.0

Trengo saves us time, brings us closer to our customer and shortens response times.

Pros

Everthing in one place with an interface that works like a charm and looks good too.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to see the history of closed tickets that are opened again by a customer.

### "Was not a bad service "

May 19, 2025

4.0

We liked it in the past but no longer use that service and are now trying a different service since the past 3 years.

Pros

It is very interesting because it is AI but also does have humans (US) using it for verification purposes.

Cons

I feel like some times I do not get notifications for messages that are coming in. Some times I will have to go looking for messages.

### "Higher price for fewer features"

May 1, 2024

3.0

We started out strong, but in recent months, prices have increased and critical features have been phased out. Initially, we recommended Trengo to our customers; however, we ceased doing so after several reported negative experiences and many expressed concerns about the high costs. Consequently, we have decided to switch to Helpwise.io. I am disappointed by the inability to export my data, except through a complicated process involving the API; this feels somewhat like being held hostage.

Pros

Ticket management, the interface, the integration of internal chat and ticket management (this has since been retired though), integration of different channels.

Cons

Constant price increases, retiring critical features, the app (especially on iPad) isn’t very good, slow support, spam ending up in our mailbox, and we experienced email delivery issues.

### "Multiple sudden changes of price, very unstable (more than doubled)"

April 9, 2024

2.0

Answering customers is not bad but anything related to customer support is slow and low quality. The sudden surge in prices forces me to move all my data and system to another platform. This is very frustrating, and for this reason I highly recommend anyone to stay away from this company (they will forcefully upsell/upgrade you).

Pros

Modern-looking, fairly easy to implement.

Cons

Customer support is slow and inneficient. Pricing is extremely unstable. Several bumps over the months and sudden changes in pricing structure that penalize smaller companies. My monthly price has doubled, and conversions are now capped (so I'll have to pay more if I get more support requests). No legacy plans, you are forced to upgrade. This will happen again in the future, no doubt.

### "Its a great tool that saves me a lot of time! "

January 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

Customers can easily find their answer in the helpcenter (with frequently asked questions) or in a conversation with the Flowbot (chatbot). The remaining quistions are simply answered by Quick reply’s (insertable answers). With this ticketsystem I keep an overview of the new, picked up and closed tickets and i have all customer service questions (that come in by Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, email and websitechat) clearly arranged in one place.

Cons

I have been using this product for more than 3 years. In the beginning there were a number of things that could be optimized, but now I could not name a point for improvement so quickly. The company is growing fast and is constantly developing, which means that more additional functionalities are created that make customer service easier

### "Great program"

April 21, 2020

5.0

Pros

I am very impressed by the speed they add new features / channels. We use it for support for our website and our clients are very impressed by the options we offer for them to contact us.

Cons

I would say the mobile app could use some updates to make it faster. But it still works great - just could be faster!

### "choose elsewhere"

May 15, 2024

1.0

Verschrikkelijke ervaring met Trengo. De software zit vol fouten en er is geen klantenservice die je helpt. Problemen blijven zich opstappelen en als klap op de vuurpijl worden extreem prijzen verhoogd.

Pros

In de basis lijkt de software logisch opgebouwd. Het functioneert alleen niet.

Cons

Een klantenservicetool met zelf de slechte klantenservice ooit! De software zit vol fouten waardoor we bijv. de factuurgegevens van een ander bedrijf in ons account hadden, we bij ieder ticket een foutmelding kregen die we moesten wegklikken en na het aanzetten van een voicemail i.v.m. pasen zijn we weken onbereikbaar geweest omdat de setting niet meer te wijzigen was. De klantenservice is letterlijk onbereikbaar en je wordt van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd met chatbots en automatische reacties in verschillende talen notabene. No customer support Bad code, many errors and no way to fix it

Reason for choosing Trengo

Destijds was prijs en factor om voor Trengo te kiezen en leek de functionaliteit vergelijkbaar.

### "Werkt super voor onze customer care afdeling!"

April 21, 2020

5.0

We zijn als organisatie heel erg tevreden over het gebruik van Trengo en de communicatie met het support en IT team van Trengo. Het is heel makkelijk om je wensen door te geven en we hebben het gevoel dat er naar ons, als gebruiker, wordt geluisterd.

Pros

Als customer care manager heb ik, sinds de start van het gebruik van Trengo, een veel beter inzicht in alle conversaties tussen mijn collega's en de consument. De verschillende teams (meertalig) kunnen ook makkelijk met elkaar communiceren.

Cons

We verkopen als webshop een deel via Amazon en die koppeling werkt soms niet helemaal optimaal, maar gelukkig is het makkelijk en snel communiceren met het support team van Trengo en denken zij graag mee om tot een oplossing te komen.

We zijn overgestapt omdat het moeilijk was om meerdere teams met elkaar te laten samenwerken. De software was heel erg verouderd en het was lastig om aanpassingen te doen. Trengo is veel moderner en het is voor mij als administrator veel makkelijker om zelf aanpassingen te maken of instellingen te veranderen.

### "Fijn programma met veel mogelijkheden "

November 13, 2023

4.0

Fijne partij die altijd klaar staat om je te helpen. Vriendelijke support medewerkers denken goed mee voor een gepaste oplossing

Pros

Fijn programma waar alles onder een dak zit. Van chat tot mail. Trengo biedt de mogelijkheid om klanten zo snel en goed mogelijk te helpen.

Cons

Het is een one size fits all programma. Hierdoor ben je beperkt in je mogelijkheden.

### "Slechte klantenservice en slecht werkende telefoon systeem"

October 5, 2022

2.0

Het gebruiken van de optie voice werkt nauwelijks tot niet. De software had ervoor moeten zorgen dat onze customer support makkelijker werd en beter voor de klant, maar het word er tot nu toe alleen meer gestrest door. Wij gebruiken de telefoon service "voice" en die werkt bijna niet en hierdoor hebben wij al vele klanten telefonisch niet kunnen helpen. Ik had niet veel verwacht van de software die ze ervoor aanboden, maar het zou wel moeten werken. Ook hun support is zeer omslachtig en niet eens Nederlands. Ik word 4x gevraagd om dezelfde gegevens toe te sturen naar het support team. Ik snap niet waarom ze dat bijvoorbeeld niet kunnen terugvinden in hun eigen gemaakte systeem.

Pros

Makkelijk tickets delen met collega's en toewijzen.

Cons

Het gebruiken van de optie voice werkt nauwelijks tot niet. De software had moeten lijden dat onze customer support makkelijker werd, maar het word er tot nu toe alleen meer gestrest door.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Trengo

Voor een bedrijf die klantenservice hulpmiddelen verkoopt moeten ze zelf nog aan het werk met hun eigen klantenservice. Omdat Trengo een Nederlands bedrijf is. Ik hoopte op ook Nederlands support. Ook hadden ze een overzichtelijkere software met meerdere functies.

### "Very good"

April 21, 2020

4.0

We made the flow for our customer service work. After a try out and getting used to the system for everyone involved, we think it is one of the best choices we have made this past year for our company. It works fast, efficient, customers are happy and it is easy to switch from one user to another so no customer needs to wait long for an answer. The Dutch customer service is excellent, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] team is working very hard to give their customers a good experience. Everybody is friendly and we receive answers very quickly. If we have a problem which they cannot solve immediately, they always let us know they cannot solve it right away. That way we are not left in the dark like so many companies do. Hooray for \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and her team!

Pros

Trengo made our company work more efficient. Our customer service is now able to reply to our customers who come from different channels, it saves time and money.

Cons

The way we had to change the e-mail addresss from a weird code into a proper "sender" address.

### "Handige software en compleet pakket"

April 21, 2020

4.0

Via zowel chat als telefoon kunnen we onze klanten snel en goed advies geven!

Pros

Veel mogelijkheden om service te verlenen aan klanten, ook online te gebruiken.

Cons

In het begin wat problemen gehad met de integratie van Trengo omdat dit toen ook nog een vrij nieuwe software was, gelukkig is dit nu goed opgelost. Betreft telefonisch contact zou het handig zijn dat mensen die in de wacht staan te horen kunnen krijgen hoelang ze nog moet wachten / hoeveel mensen er nog voor hen zijn. Nu wordt er soms opgehangen omdat het te lang duurt.

### "Super communicationtool for the support-team"

January 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

Easy to use tool to combine all communication channels you have. This way our support-team has one place to answer the question from our clients (from mail to chat, all in one place). Other pro; Trengo is building rapidly new features. We are now integrating the chatbot for even better communication with our user.

Cons

For the way we use it, it is super! In the future it would be usefull the get even more insights and more smarter marketing automations based on insights. But the way we use it now it is super!

April 21, 2020

5.0

Pros

Easy to set-up / implement and the tool allows us to interact with our customers better. Trengo is easy to work with as a user, there is an online version and also a desktop app. Also provides statistics and enough ways for us to customize it to our needs.

Cons

We did try to also use it for our info@ mailbox but came to the conclusion it is not a great replacement for a dedicated email tool like Outlook when you are using that at the same time.

April 22, 2020

It works good, but not all my customers like it

Response from Trengo

April 28, 2020

Hi Maurice, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not allow to initiate conversations with customers with a random message. When possible this would enable people to misuse Whatsapp and send bulk messages to consumers. It is possible to send pre-defined template messages (approved by WhatsApp) after an official opt-in by the customer or after the 24-hour window. If you have any more questions or like to set up the template messages, do not hesitate to contact us at team@trengo.com. Best, Luuk

### "A nice program "

April 21, 2020

4.0

A really nice and user friendly program. I like the layout and how this is working. Improvements are mainly on having history.

Pros

I really like that you can open it anywhere, which makes it really easy to combine the chat function with other activities.

Cons

For me, it was quite difficult that there is no history of a conversation with a customer. Sometimes a customer came back and he had to explain his whole story all over again. Maybe a function to save conversations would be nice.
