What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk's intigration into our website was very easy. The scalability is also a big plus, allowing us to utilize more tools as we grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The downside to Freshdesk is the troubleshooting. For easy questions, it's not a problem, but when you get to a more indepth issues, it can be daunting to find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest issues Freshdesk has helped solve is bringing our different support groups into one area. This allows for us to easily pass tickets or chats from one person/group to another. The perk of a shared inbox is big as well. This ensures we are not duplicating tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Well, I like a lot about Freshdesk. The most important thing I like about Freshdesk is that you can use the product for free and when you want more features you will have to pay but the features provided is enough to support customer related features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I don't like the mobile version. Notification is very slow on Mobile application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Workflow automation is super easy to set up and configure. Can get a bit tricky if its not managed from the beginning as it can blow up quite easily once your service portal is updated.

The ability to populate service catalogue is super easy.

There are a lot of modules included in licensing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Would be nice to see the Freshservice name pop up a lot more and compete more with ServiceNow integrations. Most of the integrations with FS are manual and have required additional dev work. Customer support like all service providers can be difficult to navigate even though you are clear with what you are asking.

The web GUI can be a bit glitchy sometimes i.e. rescaling, auto correct, copy pasting, formating (especially in knowledge base) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freshdesk is very customizable, which is important for end customers.

In addition to this, for a top tier product, Freshdesk is very affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Unfortunately, due to the wide range of capabilities and services, Freskdesk can be overwhelming to begin with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Affordable, customizable and both technical and sales support are just a few benefits to Freshdesk by Freshworks.

Tradionally, CRM type products are extremely expensive, with very little support or skill. Freshdesk solves those issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is incredibly easy to use. More importantly, it is easy to train new agents and once they start using it they can become pros very easily. The ease with which they can creat, edit, and respond to tickets is very helpful as we handle a pretty high volume of tickets being in the fast casual food service industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I honestly don't really have much to complain about with freshdesk. Sometimes the reporting in the analytics tab can be difficult to do what I want, but I always eventually figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freshdesk allows us to receive and respond to almost all of our guest feedback in one place. And even the channels we can't get into it automaticallly, can be manually added becasue ticket creation is straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk creates tickets using Email ID, not the sender and subject line, which helps when you get thousands of tickets a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Only thing i dislike is that the AI add on is extreamly expensive for what it is. I hope they get the price lower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are getting different teams to work and communicate together without sending a single email. We use to send thousands of emails internally to each other, and now we do not. We share tickets internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
