    Reliable multi-team helpdesk for a non-profit with several support channels

    Reviewed on Nov 10, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Freshdesk handles all the support queries across our foundation in one place. We run several separate support streams: applicant support for our self-service portal, info mailboxes, selection queries and internal IT. Emails become tickets and go to the right group automatically, so each team sees only its own queue, and nothing gets lost in shared inboxes during busy periods like our application and selection cycles. Our agents picked up the interface quickly, and day-to-day admin is easy for a small IT team.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Getting the best out of the more advanced features, like automations, SLA management and workflow rules, takes more admin effort than we'd like, and new staff often need refresher training. Some newer capabilities, especially AI features, seem to be moving to add-ons or usage-based pricing, which makes budgeting harder for a non-profit on a fixed annual budget.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We support many applicants, parents, students and partners, often in short, intense windows. Freshdesk gives us structured queues, assignment rules and a full ticket history, so we respond faster and more consistently, and we can see volumes by team. That has made us more accountable to the young people we serve and has cut down on lost or duplicated emails.

    Freshdesk: Intuitive UI, Fast Onboarding, and Great Value

    Reviewed on Nov 10, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    User-friendly UI: Freshdesk’s interface is clean and intuitive. Agents can find what they need without extensive training, and the ticket views, filters and dashboards make it easy to prioritize work and track progress at a glance. This keeps day-to-day ticket handling fast and reduces errors.

    Competitive license pricing: The licensing model offers strong value for money compared with other service desk tools. The features included in each plan cover our core needs without expensive add-ons, which makes it easy to scale the number of agents as the team grows.

    Quick onboarding: Getting started with Freshdesk was quick and straightforward. Setting up the helpdesk, configuring workflows and bringing new agents on board took very little time, so we were productive almost immediately.

    Responsive support: The Freshdesk support team responds promptly and is knowledgeable. When questions or issues come up, we get clear, practical answers quickly, which gives us confidence in the platform and minimizes any impact on our service.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    There aren't any particular things that I don't like but I would suggest some enhancements:
    1. Ticket access by Company for multi-team tenants: When several support teams share the same Freshdesk tenant, a more flexible security model would help. It would be useful to restrict agents or groups so they can only see and work on tickets belonging to specific companies. Each team could then focus on its own customers, the risk of agents accidentally handling the wrong tickets would go down, and confidentiality would be easier to maintain when teams serve different clients.

    2. View-only ticket access for Contacts: Some of our customers have asked for the ability to give certain contacts read-only access in the customer portal. These contacts could follow the progress of their company’s tickets without being able to reply, reopen or change them. This would be useful for stakeholders such as managers, who need visibility but shouldn’t take part in the support conversation.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    This question does not apply to me: we started an Application Management Support service from scratch and we selected Freshdesk to handle the support requests from our clients.

    Intuitive, Easy-to-Configure Freshdesk Experience

    Reviewed on Nov 10, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like most about Freshdesk is how intuitive and easy it is to configure.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    What I don't like the most is the connection with the Freshworks ecosystem. Everything isn't centralized in a single portal, and moreover, concepts and configurations end up getting mixed up with the other models. For that reason, in the end we only use Freshdesk.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Thanks to Freshdesk and its easy setup, we are able to unify different services that we had

    A big improvement on shared inboxes

    Reviewed on Nov 09, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Ticket management and analytics. Canned responses and knowledge base.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The AI we've tried hasn't been fit for purpose, and expensive. The support hasn't been great when we have made a request that should be resolvable - we were told a field that was mass changed in bulk couldn't be reset which has ruined a lot of our data. The MCP doesn't do what we need it to do as there is a limit on how many tickets can be digested at once.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Management of workload among the team, removing need for repetitive answers being rehashed every time. Analysing trends in queries.

    A Powerful Tool for Ticket Management, Automation, and Team Collaboration

    Reviewed on Nov 09, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like most about the tool is its automation capabilities. I use them extensively to ensure tickets are routed to the correct teams, automatically populate filters, and send notifications based on specific conditions or situations.

    These features help streamline workflows, reduce manual tasks, and make ticket management more efficient.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I find it somewhat challenging to manage multiple products within the tool. For example, I haven't been able to configure different ticket creation notifications for each product because the notification message is set as a default template, regardless of whether I have one or multiple products.

    It would be helpful to have the flexibility to customize notification templates based on the product, allowing for more specific and tailored communication.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The tool has been helping me organize incoming tickets, improve internal communication, and keep track of incidents. Having access to ticket history, private notifications, and internal notes makes it easier to document issues, follow up on actions, and maintain clear communication within the team.

    Overall, it has improved our organization and visibility throughout the ticket management process.
