Highlighted: the lines this signal was extracted from

we're trying to improve how we manage customer support. we're a growing company with 5 people handling support requests, and our current spreadsheet and shared inbox setup doesn't give us much visibility into response times, recurring issues or how work is distributed across the team. for anyone who's used either platform, how useful are the built in reports in practice? was setting up automation straightforward, and did it actually reduce manual work?
