when leaving desk.com, we shopped zendesk and freshdesk in addition to kustomer. we chose kustomer and have never looked back. it's been integral to getting not only CX but multiple operations teams into a single environment where we can collaborate.
Pros
the concept can't be beat - aggregating multiple customer touchpoints into a timeline really gives you an immediate sense of that user. not only can you quickly glance at context clues (like purchases, NPS surveys, and support cases) but with the right integrations, you already know WHICH customer is calling as within a second of answering the call. this makes it easy for your agents to already dive into the issue and pitch solutions without having to ask for name, confirmation number, etc. all the basics are there too like user profile with easy edits, merging, moving, forwarding, notes, macros, etc. since we got in early we've seen a lot of exciting features and changes with kustomer over the last year. autopilot steers tickets right to your agents so they don't go cherry picking through searches. making new searches is crazy easy and you can set specific team-based or user-based permissions for them. @mentions available for internal notes on cases. there's an internal knowledge base they recently released which seems awesome, though we've yet to utilize it. CSM and customer support are pretty great too.
Cons
there's a lot they still aspire to - they're a young company who just secured another round of funding and with any luck they'll hire a lot of developers. we've been a somewhat demanding client but the truth is that you need robust reporting to understand your CX/CS teams and hold them accountable. they out-of-the-box reports that kustomer offers are "good" but leave a lot to be desired. you can export custom CSVs to find what you need but it's not always possible to find what you need at all, and only one person can export at a time per environment. additionally, while the concept of open API and full access for users to write scripts and worfklows for their environments is wonderful in theory, the documentation provided for workflows is weak. if you don't know javascript, you'll struggle to write your own workflows.

Overall it's a great tool for our customer support and in-app chat use case. They are generally responsive to
issues that we have with the tool. Their SDKs leave a bit to be desired though.
Pros
Kustomer is a great tool for customer support and chat interaction. We were previously using Intercom but felt left behind as they started to focus more on being an inbound sales tool. Kustomer allows is highly configurable in terms of features/functions and in its integration with outside tools.
Cons
The web interface has a bit of a learning curve as it's not the most intuitive UI. Additionally, their SDKs can be difficult to integrate due to poor documentation, unusual integration patterns. Their iOS SDK is written in Objective-C which is quite dated at this point.
Reasons for Choosing Kustomer
Intercom seemed to be more focused on supporting the inbound sales use case for their product. Additionally, we wanted to be able to configure workflows into our support tool which Intercom did not support.Switched From
IntercomReasons for Switching to Kustomer
Kustomer was the closest to our existing solution. The company seemed to be the most focused on product development of any of the other vendors we looked at.- Used Daily for 1-5 months

Pretty solid tool for our daily use, but could definitely use more improvements especially with the glitches that happen.
Pros
I love Kustomer's tag management, snooze statuses, and the ability to move and merge tickets. It is definitely one of the more robust customer support tools with lots of great features.
Cons
- Glitchy at times, like their redaction feature stopped working as it should and chats were coming in after the set business hours
- Shortcuts are hard to search. You search by the shortcut name, but would be great if you could do filtered searches or search by the body of the shortcut
- It's hard to also download shortcut data
- Unlike Zendesk or Gmail, you have to navigate to the customer's profile before starting an outbound contact

So far the experience with this application is still good and it is still recommended. It helps organize and make tasks easier.
Pros
We use Kustomer for ticketing on emails and tickets relating to calls. It is valuable as we notate every interaction to assist customers on this application. This makes it easier to backtrack and review every customer interaction our customers have with us. It is fairly sorted and dated to avoid confusion as well and it is really easy to use!
Cons
I experienced some flaws on the application mainly when merging tickets. Sometimes when we receive a new call, it will reroute even though we are still engaged on a different ticket, making it chaotic and sometimes you'll commit mistakes with merging the wrong ticket. It is inconvenient to split tickets on this application
