The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

A stable and reputable helpdesk software

What differentiates Kayako from other similar products?
Kayako is a strong, stable and reliable product that has been around for many, many years. Like wine, it has gotten better with age. It is simple to use and implement, and simple to administer.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The self-service part is the one we use the most, both for internal and external purposes. Kayako is used by virtually every department in the company, from IT to facilities, purchasing, security and HR... The ticketing system is very simple but very efficient, and easy to use.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We've been using Kayako for more than 15 years now and it's still going strong in our company, although, since the price hike, we've considered moving away from this solution. Having said that, other solutions on the market are similarly priced and our cheaper prices were merely the result of being an early adopter. Overall, Kayako is a solid product, but it does lack ITIL capabilities which we do need, so eventually we are planning to change it to something else.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Best option for new clients is to evaluate the software first to make sure the functionality on offer is at the level expected.
