The Outlook-style email editor made the transition painless for the team. Easy to onboard, and customers noticed the difference. > > **Cons**: Some of the alert settings could be more granular. During high-volume days, our agents become overwhelmed with notifications. > > Unified customer experience support in an excellent way ----- ### "Goodbye Spreadsheets, Hello Supportbench" — 5.0/5 > **Grace A.** | *09 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The AI-generated resolution summaries and unified view of open/pending/closed issues made reporting way easier. Our front-line agents love the ticket views and how fast they can triage now. It’s like we finally got our act together. > > **Cons**: We didn’t realize how much we needed onboarding videos until we got started. A few more onboarding videos would have saved us some time. > > As our support volume grew, spreadsheets and shared inboxes became unsustainable. Supportbench delivered the structure and scalability we needed. The platform’s unified issue tracking, AI-powered summaries, and agent-friendly interface significantly improved reporting and response times. While onboarding could benefit from enhanced video resources, the overall impact on our operational efficiency and customer satisfaction has been substantial. Our experience with Supportbench has been transformative, as it positioned us to scale support easily. ----- ### "We don't need a dedicated IT guy just to change a workflow" — 4.0/5 > **Sofia** | *22 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: With our old setup, making any small change meant putting in a request to a dedicated system admin. Supportbench lets our own team build custom routing and dashboards without needing a tech degree. We even use the custom data tables to store unique client info right next to the ticket, which keeps things super flexible. > > **Cons**: Setting up custom permissions in Supportbench took a lot of guessing and checking on my end. The security settings do work well, but I definitely had to rebuild a few of our staff roles a couple of times before the access levels felt right. > > We finally got a platform we can control ourselves instead of begging developers to make tiny dashboard tweaks. It gave our team the freedom to adapt our daily queues and rules on the fly without waiting around for help. ----- ### "SupportBench is respectable" — 3.0/5 > **Tim** | *05 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: We got great customer support from the SupportBench team. They helped us configure the solution and got us going. We liked that we could post our user guides/articles in addition to just maintaining a ticketing system. We get email notifications and Slack notifications when tickets come in - this is a big help. > > **Cons**: This is the first ticketing system I have managed, but I thought the user experience could have been better. I haven't tried anything else yet, but it didn't jump out at me. I wish it could have been a little more intuitive, but the core functionality was there. > > Good support - and useful for a small startup needing to track service tickets at a respectable price point. ----- ### "Switched from Zendesk to Supportbench and Regained Visibility" — 5.0/5 > **Thinh** | *09 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer 360 dashboards and predictive CSAT scoring gave us insights we never got before. Our \[sensitive content hidden\] of Customer Success finally feels confident presenting numbers to leadership. > > **Cons**: The advanced filters in the reporting UI were hard to find at first. Could be a little more obvious. > > We were overpaying for Zendesk features we didn’t use, and the reporting never gave us the full picture. Supportbench was refreshingly transparent. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155934/supportbench?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155934/supportbench) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
