Room For Improvement

NLX Conversations needs improved context retention, integration, language support, while addressing costs, setup, documentation, and market competitiveness.
Freshdesk users seek improved customization, analytics, performance, integration, pricing, UI responsiveness, and easier configuration for complex cases.
I think the compliance for Conversations by NLX could be checked a little more thoroughly, and the data privacy should be stronger because the European laws are much more focused towards data privacy and data residency.

Having even more robust, out-of-the-box reporting features would also be a fantastic addition for deeper analysis.

When the bot is not able to resolve an issue, it performs a warm handoff to a live agent, passing the full context of the conversation so that the customer never has to repeat themselves.

Featured Reviews

Suhas Palani - PeerSpot reviewer
Full Stack Developer at Tundra Technical Solutions
Automation has transformed tier-one support and now reduces wait times while improving handoffs
One area for improvement in Conversations by NLX would be the initial learning curve for setting up some of the more advanced integrations with our older legacy systems. We occasionally encounter small hiccups where the bot has trouble maintaining context across a very long, multi-turn conversation. Having even more robust, out-of-the-box reporting features would also be a fantastic addition for deeper analysis. More comprehensive documentation for Conversations by NLX with more detailed code examples and a more centralized developer hub would make the initial development and debugging process much smoother. The main things holding Conversations by NLX back from a higher score of 9 or 10 are the hurdles we faced during the initial setup with our old legacy systems and the need for more in-depth documentation to support developers. Those context gaps during longer conversations also mean it is not quite at a perfect level yet.
Gauri Thakur - PeerSpot reviewer
Director, Portfolio Projects at Microland Limited
Integrated support workflows have provided a unified view but need broader enterprise flexibility
Freshdesk's scalability could be improved for larger businesses across departments. Its intuitive interface is appealing for small to medium-sized businesses. However, when you look at larger enterprise levels, ServiceNow operates more efficiently. This scalability is an area where Freshdesk could expand its offerings. Additionally, I don't have too much hands-on experience with Freshdesk ticket routing. I need to check with the service desk team if they've used it. Similarly, for analytics capability, I haven't explored much on Freshdesk, but I have done it for ServiceNow. I have seen a lot on ServiceNow and the BMC Remedy, so I can speak better for them. I haven't had the chance to look at it so much that I can do a comparison. I haven't had much experience with Freshdesk's reporting. Within its paradigm of customer service management, Freshdesk is quite scalable. But I've said that inter-department and the interoperability is better off in ServiceNow than in Freshdesk.
