Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Support Lead

Weighted verdict

Runs a team of twelve against an SLA the sales team promised. Wants routing that reflects skill, timers that warn before they breach, and reporting she can take to a quarterly review. Reads "AI-powered" as a claim to be checked against the queue on a Monday morning.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Support Lead

Ticketing, queues & SLA

How this is scored

The engine: how work is routed, prioritised, escalated and measured — and whether an agent can find the ticket they need among ten thousand.

0 — A shared mailbox with labels; no ownership, no status model, no history beyond the thread.

3 — Tickets with assignment and open/closed status, but routing is manual, there are no SLA timers and search covers subject lines only.

5 — Queues with rules-based routing, priorities, a working status model, SLA timers with breach warnings, and full-text search across ticket bodies.

8 — Business-hours-aware SLA policies per queue or customer, escalation chains, macros and triggers, merge and split, and reporting on first-response and resolution time by agent and queue.

10 — The workload is managed rather than merely tracked: capacity-aware assignment, SLA per contract with reporting an account manager could show a customer, audit of every status change, and search that finds the ticket from a half-remembered phrase.

Report an error

The Support Lead

This is a conversation product, not a ticket engine: 'Erweitertes Routing' is locked in the Enterprise tier and workflow automation is a metered add-on, but the evidence says nothing about SLA timers, breach warnings, priorities, status models or resolution-time reporting. Routing evidence lifts it just above manual, but I cannot run my team's SLA on a page that never mentions a timer. 2 1

Channels in one queue

How this is scored

Email, chat, phone, portal, messengers and social — judged on what actually lands in the same queue with the same history, not on how many channel logos the marketing page carries.

0 — Email only.

3 — Email plus one more channel, but the second lives in its own inbox: no shared history, and a customer who switches channel starts again.

5 — Email, a web form or portal and live chat all landing as tickets in one queue, with the customer's history visible whichever channel they used.

8 — The above plus telephony integration with call logging, at least one messenger (WhatsApp, Signal or similar) with its consent handling stated, and a customer portal where a requester can see their own tickets.

10 — Channel is an implementation detail: every channel including voice and messengers writes to one conversation with one history, agents answer from one screen, and the customer can move between channels mid-issue without repeating themselves.

Report an error

The Support Lead

Chat, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, SMS and custom channels, all claimed 'zentral an einem Ort' — genuinely broad on messengers. But there is no requester portal where a customer sees their own tickets, no telephony with call logging (video calls are not a phone queue), and WhatsApp consent handling is nowhere stated. 2 1

Report an error

Knowledge base & deflection

How this is scored

Whether the product reduces the number of tickets as well as organising them: public help centre, article workflow, suggestions to agents and to customers.

0 — No knowledge base; answers live in agents' heads and old tickets.

3 — A basic article list, public or internal, with no editorial workflow, no versioning and no link between articles and tickets.

5 — A searchable public help centre with categories, draft and publish states, and agents able to insert an article into a reply.

8 — Article suggestions to the customer before they submit and to the agent while they answer, multilingual articles, review dates that flag stale content, and reporting on which articles deflect.

10 — Knowledge is a managed asset: gaps identified from unanswered tickets, article performance measured against ticket volume by topic, versioned content with approval, and deflection reported as a number the team can act on.

Report an error

The Support Lead

No knowledge base feature appears anywhere in the evidence — the only help centre mentioned is Userlike's own support resources. The '89% AI Agent-Lösungsrate' is precisely the claim I would check against the queue on a Monday morning, and even taken at face value, deflection-by-bot with no articles, no review dates and no deflection reporting is not knowledge management. 1

Customer data protection

How this is scored

A ticket archive is personal data written by the data subject. Retention, deletion, access control, subject rights, and what the vendor does with attachments — judged on what executes rather than what is promised.

0 — No retention policy stated, no deletion path, agents all see everything, and no DPA is published.

3 — A DPA on request and coarse roles; deletion is described as something the customer arranges, and there is no stated retention period.

5 — A signable DPA published, configurable agent roles and queue-level visibility, a stated retention period, and deletion of a requester's data that can actually be executed.

8 — Automatic retention rules per queue or data category, attachment handling stated, an audit log of who opened which ticket, documented support for access and erasure requests, and pseudonymisation or redaction of ticket content.

10 — Built for a data-protection audit: retention executed and evidenced per category, field-level redaction, full audit trail, subprocessor list published, and the vendor's own support access to customer instances documented and consent-gated.

Report an error

The Support Lead

German hosting, a GDPR claim and ISO 27001 certification give a security posture, but posture is not execution: no DPA, no stated retention period, no deletion path, no agent roles or queue visibility, no audit log, nothing on attachment handling. For an archive full of data-subject-written content, that is thin. 1

Report an error

Integrations & API

How this is scored

The systems a helpdesk has to reach — CRM, shop, order management, identity — and whether the API is documented for building or gated behind a partner conversation.

0 — No API and no named integrations; context is copied in by hand.

3 — A handful of native integrations and a read-mostly API, with no webhooks and no documented rate limits.

5 — Named integrations for common CRM and shop systems, a documented REST API with keys, webhooks for the core ticket events, and SSO.

8 — Maintained bidirectional integrations, customer context from other systems shown inside the ticket, SCIM provisioning, documented rate limits and a sandbox.

10 — A component rather than a destination: versioned API with a deprecation policy, event streaming both directions, an app framework for in-ticket extensions, and integrations the vendor maintains rather than lists.

Report an error

The Support Lead

An API exists in two flavours — 'Basis-API-Zugriff' in Pro, 'Voller API-Zugriff' in Enterprise — with SSO/SCIM at the top tier and workflows reaching across systems, which is more than a read-only API. But integrations are named only as categories (CRM, ERP, 'interne Tools'): no named systems, no webhooks, no rate limits, no sandbox. 2 1

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the ticket archive lives, who the contracting entity is, which subprocessors touch it, and whether vendor support can read customer data. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated or non-EU, subprocessors unnamed.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — support tooling, analytics, AI features — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, full subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, certification published, and a self-hosted or private-cloud option for buyers who need the archive on their own infrastructure.

Report an error

The Support Lead

A German contracting entity (Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH, HRB 73211) with hosting and development in Germany as standard is the right baseline, and ISO 27001 helps. It stops at 5 because no subprocessor list is published and the WhatsApp/Meta dependency is non-EU processing with no stated safeguard or legal basis. 2 1

Report an error

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a support lead can compute the real annual invoice for their agent count — including the channels and features they actually need — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A per-agent headline exists, but the tier where the needed channel or SLA feature begins is unstated, or light-agent and contact limits are not mentioned.

5 — Per-agent prices public for the main tiers with billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed capability (telephony, messengers, SLA policies) sits in an unpriced bundle.

8 — Every tier and add-on priced publicly with per-agent maths, billing period, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table producing the annual invoice for a given agent count and channel selection, including usage-metered channels and overage.

Report an error

The Support Lead

Real numbers for nearly everything: €0 Free, Pro ab 87 €/Monat, Enterprise on request, and add-ons priced including usage-metered workflow runs and WhatsApp campaigns, with VAT treatment stated. It falls short of an 8 because 'ab 87 €/Monat' with a 3-seat minimum never tells me whether that is per seat or per plan, and billing period and minimum term are unstated — I cannot compute the annual invoice for twelve agents from this page alone. 2

European sovereignty — proven facts

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 31 Aug 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity. The register entry names no court or city; the DE code is derived from the German GmbH legal form and the HRB register designation, corroborated by the data-privacy page's "in Deutschland gegründetes Unternehmen".
Weak sourcing — Data residency, Subprocessors. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
