### "Simple Customer Satisfaction Metrics"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Metrics galore! Cut up the data received from surveys in many ways. Very helpful to manage service providers with many clients, giving an idea of how your employees are doing. Delegate access to your managers and automation to alert the right users when negative feedback is received to handle accordingly.

Cons

Don't love being locked down to only 3 responses but in truth that keeps it simple and keeps me from going to wild with customization. The data is only useful if its easy to read and understand and Smileback keeps you in a box to ensure that happens.

March 26, 2026

5.0

Pros

Easy to setup CSAT Tool that integrates easily to ConnectWise PSA for great CSAT data and easy for the end user too

Not much, maybe the choice of different pictures, which I think you can but it's usually just the smiley faces

### "Value for price"

March 22, 2022

3.0

Pros

The pricing is good for the features that SmileBack offers.

Cons

At the time that our company used SmileBack, there were no incentives to encourage our employees to request a client fill out the survey/click the icons.

### "Great Design & Easy to Use!"

October 15, 2018

5.0

We are allowing our customer to easily rate their experience, and before SmileBack it was a laborious task and we got very few responses. With SmileBack our response rate is up 43%!

Pros

Clean emails that get sent out. Easy to understand. Very easy to setup. Easy to make back-end changes. How easy it is for customer to give feedback, it is really amazing!

Cons

I would love to be able to tweak the widget design more easily. Real-time widget reporting.

### "Great Tool to measure Customer Satisfaction"

October 4, 2018

5.0

We have realized a 20-30 percent increase in responses on surveys after we switched to SmileBack!

Pros

The simplicity of the actions needed by customers makes this a winner. We went from 7-8 percent return to over 40 percent return just by switching to Smileback. Their support is quick to respond if and when you need them. Overall this product is very well thought out and works great for gathering feedback from customers.

Cons

The reporting function for technicians is lacking and needs to be improved upon. There seems to be a misunderstanding of what is important to report on.

### "A great, simple CSAT tool to encourage feedback"

October 5, 2018

5.0

We have increased the level of feedback we receive immensely. By integrating with our ticketing system (ConnectWise) we are able to keep the record of the feedback with the ticket, along with any follow up work or conversations

Pros

The simplicity of the feedback mechanism increases the chance of our Clients leaving it, which gives us more chance to improve the service we provide.

Cons

Not a big fan of the most recent interface redesign

### "Top of the line survey tool"

October 10, 2018

5.0

We plugged smileback into our (ConnectWise) Manage service board and started getting some feedback and results nearly instantly. They integrate into brightgauge, so that was a no-brainer for us to be able to report on that with our other KPIs. Their team is super responsive to us, we hardly need to contact them because it just works!

Pros

I really like how easy it is to use! Plug and play - that's it!

Cons

Honestly? Nothing! It truly is a great tool!

### "Constant, Realtime feedback from clients"

October 10, 2018

5.0

As a business owner, I know right away when a client is unhappy. I can make certain that unhappy client is helped right away.

Pros

SmileBack integrates with our ticketing system. So every time we help a client with and IT problem, they get the opportunity to respond to the closing ticket email. Quick and easy!

Cons

I like more choices in reporting features.

### "We actually get feedback now that we have switched to SmileBack"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Easy to setup and works great!

Pros

This is part of our weekly meeting. We review tickets and KPI's and Smileback. We had some built in features with ConnectWise and almost never got a review. We now pull in at least 10-15 reviews EACH day. Great Product. We have also added a Widget to our Website that includes the Average reviews over the last 90 days.

Cons

I wish we could pull the actual review comment data for testimonials for our website

### "SmileBack is a game changer"

5.0

Pros

How easy it is for our clients to provide feedback

### "So easy to implement!"

January 6, 2025

5.0

Pros

It is so easy to implement. I can set up a new instance of SmileBack in less than an hour. I also love the integrations it offers. We integrated it into Teams so we could get real time feedback and see when clients leave us positive reviews.

Cons

It didn't have the ability to send surveys on projects, it had to be tied to a project ticket so we ended up having to have a special ticket status and use only on one ticket in the work plan.

### "SmileBack is a great solution for measuring customer satisfaction."

October 4, 2018

5.0

We are improving customer satisfaction by taking action on their reviews. We improve our employees through coaching on customer responses and we strengthen our relationships with our customers by listening to what makes them happy and what doesn't.

Pros

I like how it integrates into ConnectWise Manage and alerts us with each new review.

Cons

Some of the filters remain the same when revisiting the site and some have to be changed. Having to update the date range every time and the agents is one example.

### "Simple to use for our company and our clients"

September 8, 2019

5.0

The reviews our users provide via SmileBack is gathered in a dashboard that is simple to view online. We also gather the overall metrics in gauges through integration with BrightGauge. To address any negative or neutral reviews, we utilize integration with Connectwise, so that if non-positive feedback is received, our Service Manager is alerted for resolution and coaching opportunities.

Pros

SmileBack makes it incredibly easy for our clients to provide feedback on the service they have received. All that is required of them is to click an emoticon in an email, and then they can add a comment if they'd like. The information is gathered in a dashboard that is simple to view online and through integration with BrightGauge. We also utilize integration with Connectwise, so that if a negative or neutral review is received, our Service Manager is alerted for resolution and coaching opportunities.

Cons

I have not yet found anything about the software that I dislike. It is simple, easy to use, and provides the information our team needs to gauge how our support is being delivered and received.

October 10, 2018

5.0

Smileback has breathed new life into our customer satisfaction, making it quick and easy to gather data.

Pros

Ease of use and instant feedback! Smileback gives us the insights we need to make our Customer Support even better.

### "Does what it says on the tin."

October 4, 2018

5.0

WE needed a way of collecting and collating customer satisfaction data as it wasn't something we were actively doing. After implementing the solution we were able to see trends and ensure we were delivering the best service we could.

Pros

Straightforward to setup and almost instant feedback given on tickets throughout the day.

Cons

Only issue would be the view of who actually worked on a ticket, but this is more an issue of internal process that something that the smileback app would necessarily solve.

October 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease of use for our clients and the dashboard view for management. Smileback customer support is excellent and the sales process was simple and non-pushy.

When viewing the reviews the dates selected has to be chosen each time.

### "Get more reviews with less pain, SmileBack delivers what it promises to Eyetech Ltd"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Over the past 5 years we tried various options to get feedback from customers like including automatic survey questions and direct phone calls. The response was 1.5% or less of the sent survey questions. After we implemented SmileBack this went up to 20% in the first week.

Pros

The features that are specified in the service offering correlates exactly to what it actually delivers.

Cons

The simple approach at times is foreseen to be costly when comparing the price of it.

October 4, 2018

5.0

It has increased the amount of customer feedback by 1000%. It is easy for a customer to say if they were happy or not with the service provided. Poor feedback can be actioned immediately.

Pros

The real-time reporting, integration with our PSA and the benchmarking information provided.

Cons

We would like to be able to do a bit more to brand the buttons in our brand colours.
