    The best thing about HelpScout is how user-friendly it is and how easy it is to navigate between different tabs. HelpScout may look a bit old-school, but it gets the job done, and the UI is quite simple. I’ve been using it for 2 years and have never been disappointed.

    Reviewed on Jan 21, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It is very easy to use, and managing teams is also straightforward. Whenever there is an email or chat, we are able to get instant updates, and it’s easy to assign conversations to everyone who is available. It also provides seamless tracking of our CSAT and average handling time. Saved replies are useful, the automated AI is very helpful, and the integration with Jira is seamless. As a customer success team, we can easily respond to client queries.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Nothing as of now. We’re pretty much enjoying it so far.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Whenever any client reaches out, it’s very easy to assign the conversation across the team. The snooze option also helps with following up with the client, and we can schedule messages as well. We can keep the conversation marked as active, pending, or closed to keep track of issues.

    Clean, Intuitive Support Inbox That Keeps Customer Conversations Personal

    Reviewed on Jan 20, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like best about Help Scout is its clean, intuitive interface and the way it keeps customer conversations personal and organized. It makes it easy to collaborate as a team, track conversations across channels, and respond efficiently without losing context. The shared inbox, automation features, and reporting tools help streamline support workflows while still delivering a human, email-like experience for customers.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    What I dislike about Help Scout is that some advanced features and reporting options are limited unless you move to higher plans. Customization for complex workflows can feel restrictive, and integrations or automations may require additional tools or workarounds. For fast-growing teams, costs can also increase as you add more users.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Help Scout solves the problem of managing customer support conversations in a way that feels personal and organized. It brings all inquiries from email and other channels into a single shared inbox, so our team can collaborate effectively without losing context or duplicating responses. The ability to automate repetitive tasks, track performance with reporting, and create a self-service knowledge base has improved response times, reduced manual work, and increased customer satisfaction. Overall, it helps us deliver consistent, human-centered support at scale.
