> 
> **Cons**: When I tried to find a specific report, the cluttered interface made it hard to locate the feature.
>

### "Kayako Review" — 4.0/5

> **Natale** | *22 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to add notes to tickets (both client facing and privately) made it very easy to manage tasks between multiple users so things can be passed along.
> 
> **Cons**: The main interface is clunky, sometimes tickets are slow to load in and notifications were easy to miss.
> 
> It does some things very well and makes communications with clients centralized and viewable for everyone on the team, but some of the other features were quite buggy and inconsistent.
