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

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

Software is buggy, support is not keeping up with requests. India-based support.
Reviewed on 21/06/2018
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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 have been using it for support purposes of the software that I and my team were developing. It is cool and we organized our tickets very easily. Everything was organized by departments and everyone could see his or her own tickets. I think it is a cool tool for supporting purposes.
Pros
1. There is Live Chat - you can chat with your clients any time you want and keep in touch for any kind of problems they have.
2. You can easily manage your tickets.
3. You can organize your tickets to come to different departures.
4. You have a history log of all your tickets and communications on them.
5. The app is cool for its price.
Cons
For my purposes, I have no cons to say about this software. I feel good to use it and there were no problems for me.

Pros
Once you get to use the software, its easy to manage. One feature I like, we are able to use LDAP to authenticate users. Makes registering users a breeze. Users have one less password to worry about when logging in.
Cons
Some of their features are not cut and dry and their instructions need a bit of clarity. Sometimes requires call but for the most part its detailed
