An Excellent Tool for Zero Cost, but Falls Short

What differentiates HelpWire from other similar products?

HelpWire is a free solution (for now) that enables rather quick and easy connections to remote users. The biggest thing that stands out about HelpWire is the simple fact that it's - free.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The Operator Dashboard is easy to use and you can start up a support session in seconds. The fact that it keeps the chat with the customer as well as logs of connections is a nice touch.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The app doesn't have support for mobile devices, although this has been promised. It would be nice if it sent the email to the customer for you with the link to login, but for now you have to copy and paste the link and email it yourself.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With a cost of… free… it's not a bad solution for offering quick and easy remote support to end-users. There's literally no reason NOT to try it.

Pros

  • Respectful
  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Reliable
  • Effective Service

Cons

  • Inhibits Innovation
  • Slower Product Innovation
  • Commodity Features
