Re:amaze AI Helpdesk & Chat

Re:Amaze is great, until its not. We have used Re:Amaze for about 6 years and about few months ago it stopped letting you reply to FaceBook direct messages. It just gives a error every time you do. It forces you to have to go directly to facebook to reply which is 100% the entire purpose of the app.

I have submitted ticket after ticket on this to their support. First it was facebook does not allow it now and I was like it worked up until a few months ago. Their reply face book changed something. So I installed another app to test and the other app Gorgias worked as expected allowing for us to reply.

Sent them that, then it was well you have to reply within 24 hours or the chat closes. Sent screen shots of us trying to reply after hours of getting the notification thru Re:Amaze and still would not work.

Then it was back to its not our app, it's facebook. Like a big ole circle of canned responses and zero solution. We have invested heavy in Re:Amaze over the years using their built in FAQ etc and if all this was not done and so hard to move to somewhere else we would have already left and just went to Gorgias.

So before you invest tons of time and effort in the Re:Amaze software understand that one day it may stop working and no real solution will be offered to correct it. Good times.

AI functionality demo with Dakota T was very insightful. He explained everything with great clarity and patience. We will be expanding our usage/plan because of this.

I appreciate a CRM platform with strong support and a wide range of features. We chose Re:amaze after carefully considering many options and have used several competitors over the years. I can definitively say this is probably the overall best option I have managed a team on, with a rich blend of features for the price. Depending on your needs, there may be better options, but thus far Re:amaze is meeting most of our needs.

**Pros:**

1.) The cost-to-feature ratio is very good. We were locked in at the price per user for the tier we selected, so we chose the premium version with all the bells and whistles. After experiencing other companies continuously raising costs or removing features to force us to upgrade from “outdated” versions, Re:amaze was a refreshing change.

2.) I like that the software is stable overall. Constant changes can cause things to break and require a large cost for the company (typically me) to work with their dev team to fix issues. I would rather lag behind a bit than deal with that. Re:amaze does release new features from time to time, and they come with the usual bugs, but it isn’t nearly as disruptive as the monthly development cycles on other CRM platforms.

3.) The system has been pretty solid in terms of connection through the API and developer portal. We have saved substantially on phones by connecting 3CX into the ticketing system. We are also able to connect multiple store brands and email addresses, route them to teams, and effectively bring all our communications under one roof.

4.) Support is responsive and as helpful as possible. We find it easy to connect overall. Some people work better with support than others, but I have always found them good to work with.

**Cons:**

1.) The AI is terrible for our needs. When we get around to implementing more with it, we will likely need to pay a developer.

2.) While the API is pretty good, there are limits, and some things require support to accomplish. Most users won’t need this level of customization, but we tend to push the limits of what we use and explore what more we can make it do.

All said, I suggest doing thorough research and evaluating your needs. This is a solid software option and has fit us well.
