We are helping to solve the issues that clients get when using their websites. It's been a great way to keep on top of problems that are being reported.

Pros

It is good to keep track of all the support requests that we get in. It's a great way to keep on top of issues reported by clients.

Cons

The user interface can be slow sometimes to use, but I think they are doing a refresh soon so hopefully that will solve it.

Simplified ticketing for small teams

Reviewed on 2018/07/16

Pros

Groove has some great features: Mailboxes (with assigned teams) with incoming email addresses for different topics, canned replies, tagging, assignment, email notifications. The interface is intuitive even for my veteran staff, and the Zapier integration is a bonus!

Cons

Groove lacks customizable embeddable web forms, so you are stuck with their big green "?" or a workaround via email Zapier. Reporting could be better - more details helps managers make better-informed judgements about staff performance.

We've been switching from our previous (free) support system over to a new one lately.

After testing a dozen of different services in process, we instantly fell in love with Groove in just a few days of live usage – especially with the clean and modern interface and the knowledge base functionality. Even though Groove lacks a few minor features, we've been informed they are on the roadmap already.

In addition to this, Groove's got the most responsive and friendly team we've ever encountered, which is great and makes a lot of sense for a company creating a support system. Definitely not going anywhere anytime soon!

Pros

- Clean and modern interface
- Awesome knowledge base functionality
- Great support and development team
- Overall ease of use
- Lots of integration possibilities
- Best value for money

Cons

We've missed a few features from our previous system, such as a possibility to split tickets and a more functional rich text editor. However, the guys at Groove promised us they're planning to get this into one of the next releases :)

I love the Groove blog. It's a must read for anyone making Saas. As a result I was trying to find a reason to use Groove. I signed up once we had enough customers and support requests to warrant having a KB.

I have found the support ticketing system really quite good. Keeps things in order amongst our small team.

I am frustrated by the KB though. In my opinion, it's not very user friendly...which has been a surprise given Grooves Blog.

Overall, definitely worth a try and you can decide.

Pros

Support Tickets
Easy to get started
Good support response

Cons

KB hard to customize
Not seeing improvements lately to KB
