Good for Small Business

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about freshdesk is that they are constantly making improvements and have a wide variety of options to customize your account.
What do you dislike about the product?
While they have customer service that responds quickly, their customer service is very hard to communicate with. It often takes them a while to even recognize what you are trying to get resolved. They can also be a little snippy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshdesk is what we use for our Customer Service team. Freshdesk has great reporting for phones.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would make a wish list of everything you need and make sure that Freshdesk has it. While they have good phone reporting, reporting for tickets is not great especially if you use their timing system. It's a good program, but it many not have EVERYTHING you want. The system does tend to go down once every 2 or 3 months, but they are very quick at getting it back up.

Freshdesk is a Great Free Helpdesk Solution

  • January 22, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to set up and use, works well, easy for users to create tickets and check on progress. The customer service is exceptional!
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggled a little setting up email forwarding so users could just email an address, rather than going to the helpdesk, logging in etc. and creating a ticket. I called Freshdesk and they were super helpful and resolved my issue straightaway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring issues and collating data on said issues. Ability to prioritise issues and set SLA's so users know where they stand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product! Try it for free before you go for it.

Powerful helpdesk solution

  • January 22, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Multi-channel access, scenario automation, custom fields, built-in reporting tools, and plenty of options to split/merge/link tickets.

I'm also enjoying the new Mint UI so far; it's flexible and a nice improvement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Mint UI has some questionable space-saving, like truncated text on the Group/Agent field and an overly condensed formatting toolbar for replies. There's more than enough whitespace to expand both. The main dashboard page isn't too useful for us either.

Finer control over SLAs and channel access would be great. We're trying to bring in more teams but some are specialized with hours or contracts that differ from our core support team (e.g. no phone/chat).

Our developer says there are odd limits on dispatcher rules and API calls for pulling ticket data and managing custom fields. We love automating wherever possible so more power here would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem: Technical support for small/med/large customers on Google G Suite as well as other cloud services and software

Benefits: Vastly increased organization, collaboration, and responsiveness to customers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For small teams, you'll need a separate paging solution if you don't have enough agents to cover a 24x7 help desk. We've been happy with PagerDuty.

Why we switched to Freshdesk.

  • January 22, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot to like about it. Pretty much everything about it is better than our old Helpdesk software. I can bulk close tickets, I can bulk update tickets - the app is great and super easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of much I dislike about it at the moment. It's a great chunk of software and I'd be hard pressed to find something better for our application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A benefit for me is that I can log into Freshdesk from any of my computers or devices and assign tickets on the go. So even if I'm out of the office for a day, I can still get some work done so I don't come back to a complete mess.

  • January 22, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simple and effective UI. Easy to navigate, snappy and responsive. Very easy to use if you have used pretty much any web interface before hand.

The inability to disable certain aspects, like the motivational sentences between loading screens. A small nit pick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to provide rapid response support to all internal users for the company. Provide metrics to management showing performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a trial of the software - easy to setup and doesn't require any existing infrastructure except email.

Freshdesk is user friendly and easy to use

  • January 22, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can assist our client much better and faster. It is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing.
It would be nice if your phone chanel could support calls in Botswana and Lesotho as well. We currently use Aircall in South Africa, but we are looking for a Help Desk tel no in Botswana and Lesotho so that we can all use the system 100%
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can track how long it takes to answer problems, see which agents takes the longest / shortest to respond.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Freshdesk is very easy to use.
