July 16, 2018 5.0 Pros First ,I have to commend the Happyfox team for running a good and effective support department. We switched to Happyfox in January and the experience so far , has been impressive. Setup time was a breeze ,and the support team were on hand to guide us through all hurdles during the first few weeks. I like how every conversation from emails ,social media messages ,voice calls etc are converted into tickets which we can track and respond to ,within the Happyfox interface.While making it easy to track key customer service metrics like first response time, time spent by each staff on tickets etc I will say Happyfox is changing the look ,function and feel of helpdesk solutions and I love this revolution. Cons It is normal when trying a new innovative service to see it as all perfect. At this point, I see Happyfox as perfect,maybe I will find NEGATIVES as my organization continue using Happyfox.

Network Administrator Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HappyFox Help Desk Review" June 27, 2022 5.0 Happy Fox is an incredible ticketing solution and I cannot recommend it enough. For the price I do not think that it can be beaten. Pros What I like most about Happy Fox Help Desk is how easy it is to customize. You can tailor the help desk home page exactly to your liking. Not only can you customize the appearance, but it is also extremely simple to customize the options/dropdown menus that our users select when they are submitting a ticket. Cons I wish there was an alerts button for the recent tickets that you have been tagged on. Currently, there is no notifications tab to see all of the tickets with recent activity that applies to you. Alternatives considered [Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Reason for choosing HappyFox Help Desk Price and because Happy Fox seemed geared towards education.

Director Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "DO NOT PURCHASE HAPPYFOX" December 11, 2016 1.0 We have had a most unfortunately experience with Happyfox, We contacted them as their product suited our requirements. About us: We own 3 sales based businesses and are share holders major in another 2, now Happyfox do not know that we own several businesses, nor do they know that we are looking for a platform to roll out across the entire brand. Having a platform like happyfox is an imperative part of owning a sales based business. We contacted Happyfox regarding implementing Desk and Chat for our the two directors in one of our businesses. We sent a business email outlining research, potential opportunities for both businesses and also a implementation strategy for rolling out happyfox. Response: 10 days later, we received a generic email, that was a response from the head of sales that clearly hadn't read our email. 10 days later, now for a communication platform alarm bells are RINGING. If any of our consultants in anyone of our businesses responded to a potential client 10 days after the initial enquire, I would most definitely say they are not cut out for sales. Not only was the response incredibly late, the response itself as mentioned was generic and a completely erratic response offering a free trial. Which would be great usually, however we clearly put together a implementation plan for the HEAD of sales to read through. As a potential new client, you are left under valued, like your just another sale. We contacted the head of sales and requested the details of whom we could lodge a complaint to. As a business owner we grow as a business when someone leaves negative feedback. Its an imperative part of development that you dont want to hear, but when someones offering constructive feedback our ears as owners are open. Its an area we can potentially improve so the issue doesn't arise. Or if it does, then a action plan is in place. So instead of responding to our FB message, direct email, email to support and even a LinkenIn message that have chosen to completely ignore us. Pros Great looking product Good website Good information Cons Bad customer service Ridiculous email response times Failure to have a negative feedback process in place Happyfox treat you like your just another sale Undervalue you as a customer Generic responses Impersonal service (When you actually receive it) Mail track is a wonderful tool which enables you to know when someone reads your email. If you are going to read it, respond. Review Source MM Meenakshi M.

Cons The reporting is very challenging. I wish they had better reporting capabilities. I Alternatives considered [Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Reason for choosing HappyFox Help Desk Happyfox could do about 75-80% of the features of the other 2, and was about 10% of the price of the others.

Top of the line communication and the most helpful of all! Pros I loved the quick and effective assistance that I received when I was having issues with the website. Cons I honestly have no complaints about Happy Fox Help Desk. I was treated with kindness and they were happy to walk me through all the steps necessary to fix my issue. Review Source Dale B. Software Engineer Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Tool to Work on" November 5, 2016 5.0 HappyFox is a cloud-based help desk and customer support application. We have been using HappyFox since 2 years now and we are very pleased with it. It save us so much time in the sense that most customers ask the same questions over and over again. Its ticket support system really helps in solving customers’ issues very quickly. It also has a built-in knowledge base, end-user support portal, and community forum. Overall this is a very good tool to have and can be recommended also. Pros It has a intuitive interface that helps users concentrate on incoming requests. It is highly customizable with robust automation. It provides a multi-channel ticketing system. It automates tickets for speedy processing It has a Knowledge base for future references (FAQ) It also helps in Report generation of historical ticketing data Cons I wish that more users were available at the lower level plans. The program also has needs time to learn and thus it has a steep learning curve. Review Source sandeep S.

Review Source Eric L. Recruitment Advertising Lead Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HappyFox helps us keep up with our candidates" July 12, 2018 5.0 Pros Love that HappyFox support tickets were easy to set up from our current e-mail box. We can easily respond to inquiries quickly using canned responses. The software is able to be customized to your needs and flexible for as many users you need to have access to. You can create specific rules and statuses that help the flow of communication stay in an organized manner. Cons There is a slight learning curve when beginning to use the software. But after a demo and support from their team, we are pro's within a matter of a few weeks. Review Source KL Kevin L. Head of Operations Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Power User - HAPPY FOX, has allowed us to scale fast!" October 14, 2021 5.0 I am Head of Operations for an IpaaS company. We used Confluence and Jira but needed a ticketing system. ZenDesk being the one most people pointed to. However, after a lot of analysis, we decided upon Happy Fox - an excellent decision. Ease of use, low cost, scalable packages, solid integrations, and some of the best support we've worked clearly describe Happy Fox. Earlier this year we took on a larger client, requiring us to build out our SLA process - something HF does outstanding with their SLA features and Smart Rules. We then signed up for the HF BI reporting tool which drove it home - allowing us to clearly see in the report how we are doing before problems arise. Lastly, we've recently created branded support pages for key clients with tailored FAQ's and support articles. All throughout, the care of the HF employees is what truly stood out. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] with the BI team was relentlessly helpful and kind - never stopping until we had a resolution. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] in Sales was incredibly accommodating and never pushed more products. I cannot say enough about HF other than - sign up! Pros Ease of use, scalability, price, support, integrations, and tools which make sense. Cons There is nothing I do not like about Happy Fox. Reason for choosing HappyFox Help Desk Listed above Review Source DO David O. Vice President Global Education E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HappyFox Happy User" August 9, 2019 5.0 Before choosing HappyFox Helpdesk, our support team had no way to quantify the issues, pain points, and feature requests other than anecdotally in team meetings. Adopting Helpdesk has allowed me to share a complete support picture over time to the developers and administrators that keep us on track to achieve the 100% customer satisfaction with the support process that our customers are currently reporting, based on the automated after-action customer survey. Pros The most important feature about HappyFox is the support that the team provides 24/7. I am an administrator in a small company and decidedly not a programmer. When I originally set up Helpdesk I was a novice in how each part fit together to create a whole solution with meaningful KB, Ticketing, Categories, and Automation. The Support Team spent many hours coaching me through this process to achieve a very useful set of tools for our customers. Cons I like most everything about the and HappyFox Chat applications. The initial setup was painful and required some back-ed programming to support the way in which I wanted the Support Center page layout to appear. The support staff at HappyFox tell me that a new release of HelpDesk includes tools that simplify the UI whereby the Administrator can change the way in which items, articles, products and sections are displayed. Review Source VM Victoria M. Customer Support Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HappyFox Help Desk" May 15, 2019 4.0 I wouldn't choose another help desk software, this one exceeds our needs. I am able to assign other members of our team to tickets and create 'canned responses' to ensure that we are acting as one in our customer service department. Pros I like most that HappyFox has a very organized user interface. I like that I get updates to my email and through my app so that we can be sure to respond in a timely manner to any customer or possible customer inquiring about our software. Cons My app logs me out randomly and I have trouble logging back in. Review Source RC Racey C. IT Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "HappyFox has made us happy so far!" January 17, 2018 4.0 Excellent support and needed functionality Pros We finally needed a helpdesk platform with more features than some of the low cost/free options. Upon reviewing HappyFox, we request a demo which was handled very well. We decided to give it a try and getting it up and running was crazy fast and super easy. Once it was up and running, it was overall very intuitive and the learning curve was tiny. For the questions we've had, HappyFox support has been excellent. Matter of fact, I wish support for all the vendors we deal with was as good as HappyFox support. If you're considering a new service desk platform, I'd recommend at least demo'ing HappyFox. So far we've been very pleased, and between the top quality support and the additional functionality we needed, I would certainly recommend giving HappyFox a try. Cons The only con I could identify is if you were a huge enterprise with several thousand clients and customers to support and you simply need more functionality and bells and whistles than HappyFox has to offer. I can't say that's really a con though because HappyFox seems to be pointed towards the SMB market. As an SMB, we don't want a hundred different functions we're never going to use. Review Source MC Mark C. Assistant Email Marketing Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My HappyFox Review" July 31, 2019 4.0 We are able to communicate with our field team and they are able to relay any needs for all eyes to see that need to see it in a timely manner and ultimately that is what we need this tool for. It's a great way to streamline all the cooks needed in the kitchen at once and a way for everyone to chime in as needed. Pros \- Great way to manage communication with our field team - Easy to use WYSIWYG when uploading a proof for approval Cons \- Not easy to understand who received what (when a part of a grouping/team) - Easy to get lost in the software - Tough to find certain things & where they live (not intuitive) Review Source LH Lee H. Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Simple but elegant HelpDesk Solution " February 20, 2015 5.0 Pros The product is entirely web-based. However, it's still possible to respond to tickets via email. Replies to ticket emails automatically get delivered to the appropriate person. Any number of automatic responses can be set up to streamline self help articles and assign tickets to certain technicians. Round robin auto-assignment ensures that every ticket that hits the help desk has an owner. Categories can be set up to create buckets for different types of problems. Smart Rules are extremely useful and allow various actions to be preformed based on the contents of messages and age of tickets. Cons Functionality can be lacking, but I haven't found a problem I haven't been able to solve in a more round about way. I do wish more in-depth reporting could be done. What is there, is useful, but I wouldn't mind being able to customize it more. Review Source AW Art W. Systems Admin Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great value for a easy to use support ticket system" December 28, 2018 5.0 We find that clients are much more likely to submit a ticket for a problem rather than post-it notes on your door or stopping you in the hall with a problem. Definitely has helped to provide timely problem resolution. Pros Easy to use for clients to submit support tickets either via email or the HappyFox portal. Technicians find it very convenient to respond to tickets in a timely manner. Cons Would like more flexibility in creating and exporting reports. Review Source AA Andreas A. Senior Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quick and easy to set up and get going" December 19, 2017 5.0 Easy to trace help desk tickets Pros Product is extremely easy to set up and use. The configuration is flexible and can be tailored to your environment. UI is intuitive and easy to team to analysts. Cons Not everyone is great at customer service. There are few customizations that the tool doesn't allow that seem needed.

Pros It tracks customer support tickets very well. It can automatically filter for certain content and then place the ticket into the appropriate category or assign them to the appropriate support person. Cons No complaints about the product. It does its job well. Review Source CS Courtney S.

The marketing department has increased efficiency and communication with their clients, and priorities are consistently maintained. We even have a way to avoid delayed productivity as a result of any turnover, and love the reporting functions! Review Source P PDG+creative Used the software for: ### "Revolutionized Support For Us" March 17, 2014 5.0 Before HappyFox, we used email inbox as our "support system", and boy was it clunky, confusing, easy to lose track of requests, and a time waster. HappyFox is just as simple for our clients as sending to our individual email was, but with huge happiness gains all around. Much order. So efficiency Less confuse. SUCH WOW! Pros • Simple • Just works! • Powerful reporting / sorting options to let you get an idea of where everything stands • Great integrations • HappyFox's own support team helpful and quick to response Cons • Can be sluggish load-time wise • There are some minor UI inconveniences at times, such as having to type in the ticket ID when relating two tickets vs being able to search by name and select that way.

Owner Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Help Desk Software" April 21, 2018 4.0 Pros This software has a very intuitive design and integrates well with other applications and tools. It also helps to reduce workload by providing several self-service tools. Cons Because there are a number of rules within this software, some capabilities are limited. Also, the pricing structure is not conducive to start-ups as it requires a minimum of three users.
