What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The best thing I like about Freshdesk is how easy it is to access and understand. I still remember the day I started using Freshdesk—I wasn't very familiar with it, but now I'm a pro at using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There are no major issues with Freshdesk, but sometimes it tends to lag or display errors like 'Something went wrong,' which can be quite irritating for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk helps us interact with customers effectively. Customers can raise tickets for their issues, which we can view in Freshdesk. We then assist them with resolutions, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and contributing to the growth of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk is an ITSM platform with very comprehensive features. What I like most about Freshdesk's features is the time tracking of our engineers where the data provided is always accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

It's a shame that the product has a competitive price and several very comprehensive features, but there is one feature that may not be available in Freshdesk, namely asset management, even though this feature is actually in FreshService. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before using Freshdesk we were constrained by how to track the utilization of our engineers in supporting customers and how many SLAs our team achieved and how satisfied customers were with our services. Now with Freshdesk all these issues can be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

We enjoy the Article Solution offering the best, especially with analytics.

When I initially set up Freshdesk, we found it easy to set up with very little difficulties that their support was always on hand to assist.

We use this system 5 days a week, but it's open 24-7 to accept emails, respond automatically, in some cases, and this automation is so powerful to help us concentrate on things that really matter to the customer.

2 years later, we've integrated various apps to help our agents better and the offerings in the marketplace are slick and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

We'd prefer some requests be implemented rather than focus on AI.

Basic things such as the ticket ordering would really go a long way to assist our agents to do better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not having to use a shared email inbox, being able to gather data to determine reasons for contact which help us improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freshdesk has significantly improved our support operations, leading to a more streamlined workflow and measurable efficiency gains. Since implementation, we’ve seen a 30% increase in agent productivity, with average response times reduced by 20%. Additionally, the analytics tools provided by Freshdesk give us clear insights, enabling data-driven improvements that enhance our overall service quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

While Freshdesk has positively impacted our support operations, driving up productivity by approximately 20% and reducing response times by 15%, we find the platform's costs to be quite high. We're weighing the benefits against the expenses to determine the best path forward for maintaining efficient service without stretching our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

What I like most about Freshdesk is its practicality in customizing fields and using automations.

Create automation to facilitate agent action and make service faster in classifying or responding.

And use is very easy! Both for the administrator to carry out maintenance and for the agent to act. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The limitation of the ticket creation form is that I can't customize it or add fields with specific filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In this case it is not benefiting me directly.

It is benefiting my clients who I implement.

The customer is benefiting from a reduction in service time and a reduction in errors when creating a ticket by up to 50%, because the automations are already classifying automatically and facilitating the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

We have many different departments in our Business, as such we needed a system which we can customise ourselves to include bespoke fields which also lets us create reports to be sent out automatically from Freshdesk removing the need for someone to create these.

We also love being able to add automations on emails received so they can be sent to the right person first time reducing Customer response time and saving us time manually directing tickets.

Reporting is also great for creating a wallboard so the team can see how we are doing on an hourly basis

Freshdesk is super easy to setup and start working with straight away once you have set yuour email forwarding up, then its just a case of getting your automations setup which can be done over time.

Support is usually good and reposnes are generally quick depending on when i send them due to time zone clashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

One draw back for me is the reporting in analytics, this only updates once per hour and each instance updates at a different time, it would be good if the data in these reports were live and read from the database or atleast an easy way to see when the database refreshed. Currently i look at the last updated date to get the time of the latest update to have an idea when the database refreshed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used to use Outlook to manage our workloads and over time this became more and more unsustainable. Freshdesk not only had an immediate impact on our Customer response times is also improved satisfaction whist reducing complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is known for being user-friendly, making it accessible for both small teams and large organizations without a steep learning curve. It offers robust automation features, like ticket routing, canned responses, and SLA management, which help streamline tasks and improve team productivity.

Customer Support for is very excelent. I get support at the earliest.

Integration with Freshdesk is a piece of cake, thanks to the API & SDK docs

Implementation of a new instance for a specific use case is straight forward that even a new user can implement thier work flows based on their business use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk’s mobile app, though functional, may lack certain advanced features or customization options available on the desktop platform, limiting flexibility for teams working on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk stands out as a simple, affordable helpdesk tool that enables organizations of all sizes to strengthen customer relationships and deliver excellent support. One of its key advantages is its accessible pricing. For many small businesses, high costs can be a barrier to exploring advanced support features. Freshdesk, however, offers competitive pricing and flexible plans, making it a feasible solution for organizations looking to enhance their support capabilities without breaking the budget.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

We appreciate the simplicity and ease of use that Freshdesk offers. Its performance is also great for large ticket loads. The various third-party app integrations available allow for seamless workflow management, and the Omniroute feature paired with automation helps distribute the customer support workload efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The recent change to the reporting system is disappointing. The current analytics service feels overly complex, obtaining raw data exports is extremely inconvenient, and it was much easier to obtain key data about groups or agents using the previous reporting tool, which is now discontinued. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk helps us centralize customer requests and complaints from multiple channels into one standardized platform using tickets. This allows our teams to work more efficiently without needing to monitor various platforms separately, as everything is streamlined with consistent variables and metrics. This has greatly improved our workflow and response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk has streamlined our customer support processes by centralizing ticket management, making it easier for our team to track, prioritize, and resolve issues efficiently. With insights into metrics like ticket volume, conversation count, and assignment distribution, we’ve been able to allocate resources more effectively and identify recurring issues for proactive solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The reporting features, though useful, can be somewhat limited in customization, making it challenging to get specific insights without additional configuration. Additionally, the interface can feel cluttered at times, especially when handling high ticket volumes, which can slow down navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk is solving several key challenges in our customer support workflow by providing a centralized platform for managing tickets, tracking conversations, and assigning tasks efficiently. By consolidating all customer inquiries into one place, it eliminates the need for our team to juggle multiple communication channels. This has led to faster response times and improved accountability, as tickets can be prioritized and assigned based on urgency and workload. Freshdesk’s automation tools also help us streamline repetitive tasks, like tagging and routing, freeing up our team to focus more on complex inquiries. Overall, these solutions have boosted our team’s productivity and contributed to higher customer satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Challenges we face are getting used to the analytics reporting interface rather than the previous reporting tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk is solving our problems of:

Agent productivity

Workload and capacity

Sharing across internal teams

This benefits us immensely as we need these sorted in order to properly function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
