Support is very helpful and friendly. Tbh, I had a few problems setting up the page, but with the supports help, I think it's looking pretty good now.

Pros

Easy to navigate and edit articles, easy to customize, and pretty good search function.

Cons

1. There is no "add table" function, which is kind of problematic, as we need to generate HTML code and add it to the article. Adding the feature would be nice.
.
2. It would be cool if helpcenter.io is compatible with Gorgias, Zendesk, Zohodesk.

Alternatives Considered

Help Scout and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Choosing HelpCenter.io

The search function was horrible, and the support is not responding, had no choice but to check for other option.

Reasons for Switching to HelpCenter.io

The others required massive coding.

Response from HelpCenter Solutions

Thank you for the nice words. Glad we were able to make it easier for you build a great help center.

As to the tables support in the editor and the integrations. These are both on our backlog and should be available in HelpCenter.io soon.

Feeling "at home" with an unusual residence for my website

For the overall experience, the first word that comes up is "familiar".
I kind of feel "at home" with all the "non-tangibles". How [sensitive content hidden] & his team communicate; how I can use the dashboard intuitively; how it improves continuously. Hard to put into words, but it just "feels right" to be here & use this tool not only as an addition to my website, but as my actual website.

Pros

Hard to say what I like most. Three things come to mind:
1) The flexibility of the tool & how easy it is to use (at least for me it works pretty intuitively)
2) The direction (how it has evolved over the years that I've used it, even integrating some suggestions I made)
3) The communication & support from [sensitive content hidden] (it really feels like he wants to help/support if I have an issue or an idea.

Reflecting about it, the last point may actually be the most important. Certainly the main reason why I feel very comfortable recommending Helpcenter.io to my friends. 🙂

Cons

What comes to mind first about what I like least is the fact (?) that I can't synchronize my Online-Articles with offline Documents. I would love to write most of the articles while being offline (and not in code) and it would be a biig improvement if I could easily synch them in a way that updates my existing articles without me having to copy&paste for hours.

Reasons for Switching to HelpCenter.io

At the time it was waaay cheaper than the alternatives and still didn't seem to lack any important features (for my way of usage). So I tried it out, loved it & therefor stayed. :)

We used it to create a knowledge base for our organization and often times when you do stuff like that, it doesn't really work or gets complicated quickly. But this time with helpcenter.io it actually was quite sustainable and we used it a lot. I think the simplicity of the tool plays a big role in it.

Pros

The feeling that there are real humans behind it and therefore lots of opportunities for change and flexibility in the future. -> That it's evolving and not just a big burocratic company with a set product, where the individual customer is relevant and nothing really happens.

Cons

because there wasn't the option to create templates there were some mistakes because we did that stuff manually.
I think that changed now. :)

Exceptional Support and Great Value

Our experience with HelpCenter.io has been highly positive. Despite our initial doubts, the platform proved to be an excellent choice, offering straightforward usability and great flexibility. Compared to other help center solutions we evaluated, HelpCenter.io stands out for its simplicity and fair pricing. The user interface is intuitive, and the customer service is outstanding, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for our needs.

Pros

What stood out most about HelpCenter.io was their exceptional customer service and the overall value for the price. Initially, we were concerned about the platform's customization options, but that worry quickly dissipated. When we reached out to cancel our subscription due to these concerns, we were pleasantly surprised by a personal response from the [sensitive content hidden]. He not only addressed our customization needs but also provided us with three complimentary months of service. This gesture, along with the team's dedicated support, ensured that we ended up with a help center tailored perfectly to our requirements. Additionally, HelpCenter.io offers a flat rate that remains consistent regardless of the number of team members, making it easy to scale without worrying about rising costs.

Cons

Our initial concern was the perceived lack of customization options. However, this issue was promptly resolved by the proactive support from [sensitive content hidden] and his team, so it no longer affects our view of the service.

Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Switching to HelpCenter.io

HelpCenter.io stands out in comparison to Zendesk for several key reasons. Unlike Zendesk, which is often criticized for its high cost and challenging customer service accessibility, HelpCenter.io offers a more affordable flat-rate pricing model without escalating costs as your team grows. The user interface and experience of HelpCenter.io are notably more intuitive, making it easier to navigate and customize without a steep learning curve. Most importantly, HelpCenter.io excels in customer service; while reaching support at Zendesk can be notoriously difficult, HelpCenter.io’s founder is readily available via email, ensuring prompt and personalized assistance. This level of accessibility and support significantly enhances the overall experience with HelpCenter.io.

We've been using HelpCenter.io in our company for several years and are extremely satisfied with the quality of service.

The platform allows us to categorize articles, customize the interface to match our brand, and offers a user-friendly experience both for us and our customers. Highly recommend!

Pros

Simplicity of use, great functionality, and responsive support.

Cons

Initially, the process of responding to user comments was a bit inconvenient. However, the team quickly addressed this issue, and now I have no other complaints to mention.

My overall experience with HelpCenter.io has been exceptional. From the straightforward setup process to the prompt and helpful customer support, everything about this platform has been designed with the user in mind. It has significantly improved our ability to provide support to our customers, making our help center both effective and professional. Highly recommended for anyone looking to streamline their customer support operations.

Pros

What I liked most about HelpCenter.io is how easy it is to use and the superb customer support. The platform is very intuitive, making it simple to set up and manage our help center. Whenever I've had questions or needed assistance, the support team has been incredibly friendly and quick to respond.

Cons

The only thing I think could be improved is the design customization options. But I notice this improves over time as more options become available.

[sensitive content hidden] is responsive and helpful. It was very easy to implement and navigate. It's been easy to maintain and update as well which is perfect for our small team.

Pros

We chose HelpCenter.io as a standalone help center product. It was easy to implement and integrated with Linear and Front.

Cons

A few aesthetic features like hyperlinking. We'd also like the ability to schedule a published article.

Helpcenter has been great for us. We were able to launch a Help Center in only a few days and it's super easy to use and maintain.

Pros

I looked at a few different products and many of them were a nightmare to set up and required very expensive long term contracts. Helpcenter.io was priced so low that initially I was a bit skeptical that it would work for us, but it turned out to be a great solution for us which we were able to launch in just a few days and can easily maintain and make changes to at any time without requiring support from our engineering team.

Cons

I would love to see integrations for the contact form that would allow us to customize the form and hten direct submissions into Salesforce or a designated inbox.

Easy to use, professional and helpful team

Reviewed on 2023/06/15

Pros

What I like about HelpCenter.io is the fact that it is super easy to set up and use. The platform meets the overall needs of what a help center should offer. However, what I like the most is the exceptional treatment from [sensitive content hidden] and the team at HelpCenter.io. They have solved any issues that we faced and helped out with all inquiries whether that has to do with features or customization - within reasonable time and in a professional way even though my requests might have been a bit unclear at times. Definitely recommend HelpCenter.io!

Cons

The only con about HelpCenter.io I can think of is that I would like to be able to see the article in the default language as I am translating it to another language. That would make the process of translating an article much faster and easier.
