What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I've been using Freshdesk at work to handle customer emails, and it's been quite effective. The ability to assign tickets, leave notes for colleagues, and categorize has significantly improved our workflow. We use it every single working day. Our customers benefit from the support portal as well. Recently, we upgraded to customize its appearance with our own colors and fonts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

While there are minor issues, such as occasional attachment loss in lengthy email threads and the non-saving of newly started emails (as opposed to replies), Freshdesk's proactive approach in seeking feedback is a positive aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The support portal allows customers to find answers to their questions independently. Additionally, they have the option to submit new tickets or send an email that they initiated. All these interactions converge in our ticket inbox, where we can assign queries to the most suitable colleague based on expertise, whether it's in design, web development, administration, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The arcade function creates a motivated team, where you compete for badges and get points for responses. Customer satisfation results in more points, encouraging agents to respond promptly and thouroughly.

At a glance you can see open tickets you are working on and your team can cover your tickets whilst you are on leave.

The colours, fonts, themes are also fun and not boring. This makes more monotonous works more pleasurable, e.g. if you worked in a call centre. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Less skilled IT users can accidentally reply to customers with internal conversations if they respond to a customer support email in Outlook. If someone replies to a ticket, I get three notifications per reply to my Outlook, one after another.

It doesn't spell check your work, so you have to be accurate with spelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To say the least, the only thing I don't like about Freshdesk is that it doesn't have an option to send the response at a scheduled time, for us it is essential. I hope to settle it soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is one of the best tools to manage customer interactions. Every user gets its own tickets so it is very easy to track customer interactions with the brand. It is an everyday usage tool. From the brand point of view, it is very easy to implement, and do have a knowledge base to learn more about the product. It can easily implemented with other social tools to track online conversations. They also have a C-SAT survey for customers. Customer support is very active in resolving customer issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Lack of synchronization. It has a syncing problem in reports and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Every user gets its own tickets so it is very easy to track customer interactions with the brand. It is an easy tool to track customer conversations on all social platforms. We can easily track the Rate of Return of each customer in FD. They have C-SAT surveys too which help us to rate a brand in customer support. It helps me track agent performance on a day-to-day basis. It has ticketing fields that help to bifurcate concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

FreshDesk is intuitive and useful for both our agents and admins who manage the service desk. It has helped our agents move to a healthy and productive occupancy rate, which has had a positive impact on our SLAs overall. We achieved this through the use of the automatic ticket assignment options - as well as using Skills and Scenarios to ensure tickets are shared equally and efficiently within the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Setup in most cases will require external technical experience for the more complex options. (For example, I still cannot get the "automated" close tickets for "Thanks!" responses from customers.). However, that being said - the team is quickly on hand to assist where they can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use FreshDesk to manage a global clientele, with some of these clients being internal members of staff. This means a lot of tickets with varying amounts of information, as well as varying skills required to solve them. Through FreshDesks automations and workflows, we now have a fair distribution system for tickets, as well as easy tools (Scenarios / Notifications) to pass these tickets to each other internally, as well as to other teams in the business. Being able to do all this from within Freshdesk means we can capture analytics as well - how many tickets go to Training, Professional Services etc, which helps us then work cross-departmentally to reduce these types of tickets in the future.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

As a daily user, what I appreciate most about Freshdesk is its user-friendly interface, the impressive new AI summarize feature, and the comprehensive integration of tickets, chats, phone, and knowledge base, all in one platform. Additionally, their great support team adds immense value to the overall experience, providing excellent assistance and guidance when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

What I find challenging about Freshdesk is the lack of consistency between its products; for instance, the functionality disparity between Freshchat and Freshdesk can make it feel like they're from different companies. Additionally, I wish the interface was more customizable without relying on third-party apps, particularly in adding multiple quick links to the side panel of tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk serves as a centralized hub for all agents, enabling streamlined handling of custom inquiries. This consolidation benefits us by ensuring that all team members have access to a unified platform, facilitating more efficient collaboration and resolution of diverse customer inquiries.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The best thing about Freshdesk is the immense amount of features and integrations, that make customer support smooth and scalable for us, which is a huge plus for our small team supporting thousands of active users. It ensures our operations run seamlessly and we can provide quick assistance. The platform has tons of features and is also surprisingly easy to use - if you don't want something, it's hidden away and doesn't impact the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

We've been with freshdesk for almost a decade now and they've gone through 3 versions of pricing tiers - and everytime it was a little annoying to figure out where we were, what features were allowed and adjust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk is effectively addressing our challenges of working in small team and catering to a substantial user base across three products. The platform's automations, workflows, and role assignments have proven instrumental in streamlining our operations. This enhances our ability to provide timely and personalized support. Integrations and the dozens of available automations help us reduce response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
