Why they chose Gmelius vs. Help Scout

Why they chose Gmelius

Very Helpful
****Star half*

The joint email inbox is very helpful when collaborating. Especially if there are a lot of incoming emails Gmelius helps users sort the emails and assign them to the correct department.

Why they chose Gmelius vs. Help Scout

Why they chose Gmelius

A must for teams sharing workload
****Star half*

We were looking for a more affordable option after Hiver raising their rates. Gmelius has proven to have just about all the options we were accustomed to using in Hiver. We are able to share workloads using the shared labels. This helps us handle things as a team and pick up where each other left off.

Excellent tool for workflows in a team environment
****Star half*

I've been a user of Hiver in the past in my organization until we recently switched to using Gmelius. Gmelius is unique and very simple to use and offers a bit more features over many competitors.

Everyone on the team is connected via Gmelius. Having shared information across all departments is very useful, especially in our highly-technical and fast-paced environment.

Data Security

One last reason to seek a

Help Scout

alternative...

Unlike
Help Scout
, Gmelius’ infrastructure has been designed to ensure the content of your conversations is not stored on external databases.

At a time where compliance with privacy regulations such as the GDPR and California Privacy Act (CCPA) become vital for your business, Gmelius offers an alternative to
Help Scout
by preventing any data dispersion, and the associated risks such dispersion implies for your customers.

Shared Labels

One last reason to seek a

Help Scout

alternative...

Unlike Hiver, Gmelius allows you to share Gmail Labels with other team members. Hiver is great to fix issues with the management of group emails. However, email collaboration does not stop there. Gmelius offers a more complete alternative to Hiver by letting you share Gmail labels, so that your projects, clients, pipelines can be easily managed as a team.
