What do you like best about Freshdesk?

We use it both internally and for several different clients. We've found that it offers true 'omnichannel' capabilities and agents find it easy to use, while their supervisors can monitor productivity. We like that it's SaaS and there's no self-hosting, and Freshdesk's support are accessible when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Frustrating restrictions sometimes - it's not massively customisable, so it's very 'Freshdesk's way only'. However, this does mean that it's consistent across instances! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Freshdesk to serve customers of a cosmetics brand across multiple markets. Freshdesk allows us to integrate livechat, email, website 'contact us' forms and new ways of contacting such as Whatsapp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk has been a useful tool for organizing customer support at Encompass Connect. The ticketing system makes it easy to track issues, and the automation features have definitely saved us time. Integration with Slack has also been helpful for team communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Copying messages into a Slack channel is more complicated than it should be—it takes a few steps, and I’d like to see a simpler process. Also, the reporting could be more customizable, and the platform occasionally slows down when handling a large number of tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Was up & running in a couple of days. We use the ticketing, bot and freshchat.

Over time, incorporating the APIs using the provided detailed documentaiton has helped to provide contextual support to customers as well as develop internal dashboards to measure agent productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Some of the integrations are the documentation around it are very painful and keep requiring intervention from our tech team - The solutions team specifically wrt the mailbox integration seemed pretty clueless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Reducing response time.

Reducing resolution time

Tracking custromer flow issues by vintage and roadmapping for development to tech.

There are some problems, even when updating the page and resetting consumption, it often notifies me that a message has arrived but it does not appear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is easy to use and it's quick to navigate. To onboard agents it's fairly simply so not a lot of training needed on the system. What I like most about it is we're able to have all support tickets for a customer in one spot. It's used by our coaches, customers and sales team. Good to keep track of data. However if you're looking to use KPI's you'd need to use a Pro plan which is quite expensive for a start up company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

It's a little difficult to integrate, and exporting data from the system is not great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps to provide good customer feedback and keep the customers information in order. We also get notifications when tickets are received. Able to make phone calls too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

Freshservice and Freshdesk are easy to configure, and the setup is easy to use and get you started very quickly with limited knowledge or help from Customer support. Over the years they have added many features that make Freshservice comparable to products such as ServiceNow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

I can't think of any dislikes; the company has matured considerably over the ten years I've used the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk allowed us to have one product for all our customer communications and replaced the three separate systems we used before for mail, phone, and chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
