What customers say about Kayako

Testimonials published on Kayako's own website, selected by the vendor. These are not independent reviews.

“Kayako cut our ticket age from 18 hours to under 5 — and half of those tickets disappeared entirely. We weren't buying a new interface. We were buying a cost reset.” Source
“Every time we lost a support agent, it cost us $20,000 and three months of scrambling. The team was burnt out, and new hires barely kept up. Since we brought in Kayako, that's changed. It handles the repetitive stuff, and our agents finally have room to breathe. We've cut churn dramatically, and our team's performance is stronger than ever.” Source
“Support used to ping our engineers for help constantly. It wasn't malicious—it was just that no one else had the context. But those distractions cost us real money and slowed everything down. Now with Kayako pulling answers from our docs and logs, tickets get resolved before they ever hit engineering. It's been a huge unlock for both teams.” Source
“Kayako One transformed our support operations. What used to take hours now takes minutes. Our customers are happier, our agents are more productive, and we're saving thousands every month. It's the best investment we've made in our support infrastructure.” Source
