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

There is plenty of support documentation to help you get started. It also is easy to get started without much configuration. Everyone I have talked with in customer support or customer success has been very friendly. Those in the support desk are pretty quick in response, I rarely go 12 hours without some kind of response from them. Then if I am not quick enough I get a reminder with in 24 hours as follow up help, and I truely apprecate that. Our customer success support agent did let us know when we were not taking full advantage of the system.

This system is vital to our business and we use it everday. While we do not yet have the integrations activated the variety available in the marketplace that align with other products we use, and the functionality listed for those integrations are quite exciting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

If the wrong person is in charge of setup it can set the whole product lose functionality. Some features are locked into higher pay brackets that feel like the should be in a lower tier, such as the article review feature. Being able to review and collaborate on articles in the system should certainly be a paid feature, but it shouldn't need to be an enterprise level feature.

I have been frustrated a few times with the response time of our customer success agent, because it will sometimes take a few days to a week to get a response back.

I also feel like at times the filtering methods can be oddly sensitive, for example a abbreviation for one of our products, kept causing filter of unrelated tickets because a random set of letters in an embedded url of a customer's signature kept pulling all of their tickets into the wrong grouping.

My top frustration is a lack of automated product enhancement. We joined long enough ago that the plans changed, and featurs were added but the pricing was the same, and yet our plan was not auto upgraded nor were the administrators sent emails about why they should upgrade since it was a no cost upgrade.

I was not part of the original setup, but from feedback I have recieved in the time I have consulted on the product, I have been told that the sales team did not list enough featurs for them to apprecaite all of the features and functionalities that are not immediately apparent.

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

Currently Freshdesk is bringing in our customer support tickets, and allowing for easier collaboration. There are several benefits that we have yet to explore. This does allow for easy ticket management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

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

We needed a way for our customers to see the progress of their tickets. Our team is small but freshdesk has allowed us the leverage to support a growing customer base. I needed a way to track notes, and tech performance and freshdesk offers reporting and analytics to help with those decision making situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
