What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I enjoy using FreshDesk mainly because of the ease of use and integrations into our other SaaS platforms.

I have used quite a few other helpdesk platform and FreshDesk is by far easier to use.

I also like the fact that FreshDesk has more features than other providers from what i have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Support.

When logging a ticket for support, I am asked to book time with a support personal and its almost always:

1) The next day

2) The available time in their calendar is after hours my time.

I feel that if i log a ticket e.g. 10am this morning, i need to get support the same day and within my time zone. Its not my problem if support if e.g. outsourced to FreshDesk staff based in India time zone. I pay for this service and expect service during my time zone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Linking business and admins using a robust helpdesk platform. Works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Integrated phone call system is one of the key reasons we purchased Freshdesk and Freshcaler. There are also lots of time-saving featues, easy to configure automations, and plenty of good add-ons apps. I've implelented Jira Service Desk, Hornbill, and others before, and although implementation consultancy could have been better, once live, it transformed our ability to monitor how we are delivering to customers, and enabling a global team to work on the same software product support tickets together. We specified a custom app to integrate with our product development team's Jira, and now Freshdesk have released an app which does the same thing!

During evaluation it beat ServiceNow on some criteria, and over all the evaluation scores came out similar, but Freshdesk/Freshcaller much better v alue for money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

A number of minor dislikes e.g. it's not possible to create a report which mixes ticket, CSAT, and Freshcaller phone stats. Some ticket view columns can't be resized, agents can't be shown without Group, we had to use some workarounds to achieve what we needed to for SLAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enabled SLA management for different products, geographies, tiers, and has meant that we are achieving solving customers issues within SLA nearly 100% of the time :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The annotate feature for screenshots is my favourite feature. It allows me to show what I am talking about easily. I use it every day, and it integrates seamlessly into Outlook. It was easy to implement and the customer support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Not a great deal of choice in regard to font and layout options in the call logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we had Freshdesk, our helpdesk logged calls as tickets via email folders linked to a spreadsheet and was woefully inadequate. Therefore Freshdesk is solving the issue of logging and managing tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There are some limits to applying rules under some circumstances but there are work arounds.

I would like to be able to set a rule to alwet the last agent that held ownership of a ticket for instance but there is no way to do this at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to get a broad view on numbers of particular enquiries and by segregation of tasks achieve a greater focus and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is an amazing tool that exponentially increased productivity in our Team, helping our Agents grow and acomplish more due to user friendliness, the solution page and automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

It's not that I dislike or considering it a downside but a bit annoying. When using filters under reporting and applying them when you get to exporting you need to flip the toggle to export using the filters, otherwise it exports all the information in the backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helpdesk solved the problem of people emailing us directly when needing support or using other means of communication. With FreshDesk it makes it alot easier to prioritise work and staying organised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
