Self-Plug. We use our own product (http://www.enchant.com) to support our customers .. It covers email support, a knowledge base website, live chat widget for the marketing site (i.e. sales), and an in-app widget that offers both live chat and an embedded knowledge base.

Try it out - it's faster than gmail :)

We have started doing blog posts reviewing the various SaaS services we use: http://blog.opencagedata.com/tagged/toolsweuse so far we've covered * Baremetrics * Quaderno coming soon: * Statsbot * Hosted Graphite * StatusCake * TravisCI * Drip * TransferWise (not a SaaS service, but saves us a ton of money)

Is there really much to say about StatusCake ? I use it and I have to say that it seems too much simple (not enough alert terms, hasn't got hooks, too expensive)..

StatusCake does support web hooks, along with 10 other integrations including fully supporting advance alert routing. We also have all the features of major monitoring services as well as virus scanning, domain monitoring, SSL certificate monitoring and so many other features.

I mean, we also have a free plan that gives you monitoring (and hooks) along with a wide range of features for an unlimited amount of sites!

Kind Regards, Daniel.

For https://snapcx.io , I have been experimenting with freshdesk, zendesk and zoho too. In end, as we are simple startup, I decided to stick with - Straight email support - asciidoc generated html pages for documentation https://snapcx.io/docs - self hosted contact us form. (it sends email to support) - free zendesk chat. (as of today, it's one or two chat request, which sends email to support email) - As we are sell…

love the minimal approach but your quoted text is elongating horizontally. I don't know why the default behavior is like this for quoted text.

Groove ( https://www.groovehq.com/ ) only. We're super happy with it!

We switched to Groove from Zendesk (which was awful). We're happy with it. I do wish it had better reporting. It also has occasional hiccups (missing emails, report numbers inconsistent). Helpscout looks promising.

oops. We migrated from Desk.com, not Zendesk and it's too late to edit this comment. Zendesk could be an amazing product.

We use Groove also. It works fine but we do wish it had any kind of mobile support. Even if the desktop site would just function in a mobile browser would be helpful. Two way Slack integration would be a dream (it has notification only now. You can't respond to tickets from slack).

it looks like Groove will be releasing a mobile app any day now (expected release early March 2017).

Hi Ajainy!

Engineer from ReadMe here. We do have a support forum that you can enable[0] for your users. Is that the kind of customer support you were talking about? If not, I'd be curious to know what you meant!

Ah I see, we also have Zendesk integration so you can add the Zendesk widget to your ReadMe site.
