What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is designed very intuitively and has excellent support documentation and live customer support if needed. The interface is very easy to understand when first logging in, and even the advanced features make logical sense when first using them. I've trained many people on how to use Freshdesk and it's always been a simple process to get new people onboarded. In the rare occasions that I needed help, a representative was easily available on the phone and very informative and helpful with their advice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There are some features which are available through the detailed analytic reports which would be good to also have available through the regular filtering options. The software has so many functions that it can occasionally be a little tricky to find the exact setting you're hoping to adjust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've developed a very complicated software ecosystem for advanced medical research, so there are always lots of questions from users. Freshdesk allows for managing the help desk in a very organized fashion which is easy to search through and track outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I appreciate Freshdesk for its user-friendly interface, which we found to be particularly clear for our support agents. We opted for Freshdesk as our primary tool due to its swift and transparent implementation, even in the face of the intricate workflow we needed. The reporting tool stood out to me, offering simplicity in generating requested reports and facilitating scheduled dispatch. Another aspect I value is its seamless integration with our other company tools, enabling the sharing of valuable data across different departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

We do encounter limits to the tool so we have to send out a feature request to the customer succes manager. It has some limits on things we would like to report on so we then have to come up with a work around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The previous tool that we used was for us to limiting as we we're growing from a start-up to a scale-up company. Freshdesk provided the solutions we needed to be able to grow with the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
