Responsive and super helpful team. Constantly updating the platform
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is constantly updated with new features. Their recent growth has shown dedication to improving Freshdesk, as well as their other new products including FreshCaller.
The Freshdesk team is super easy to get in contact with and was able to provide support in more advanced areas of platform, or in helping resolve issues using the platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
*Updated comment regarding outdated interface. They've now launched their new Mint interface which is very clean and modern. *
Their splitting of their phone service into it's own product on a different page/product name has caused confusion in knowing what is in the realm of FreshDesk vs FreshCaller etc.
Some administrative menu items are hard to get to. Lower tiers of plans don't offer some basic features such as SPF and DMARC support by default.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Freshdesk to manage our support tickets from multiple channels and be able to collaborate with other customer support agents within our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their team is super quick at responding and willing to be helpful. The platform does have occasional bugs, but their team is quick to respond and fix them.
Very Solid Ticketing System
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I as one person was able to implement within a week. I also like that I was able to setup dependent dropdowns.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app isn't very good for managers. Also the chat function needs some work. I'd really like to see in chat the ability to take over the other users computer. Would be very helpful for techsupport.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to figure out what our call and email drivers are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have all your ducks in a row before implementation. Really scope out what data you are trying to get out of it.
Both great and frustrating
What do you like best about the product?
Consolidation of lots of different support channels. Lower tier pricing is a decent value. Support from the company is pretty fast. Their mobile app is fairly feature rich.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lower tiers don' get many feature enhancements and are missing a couple of what I consider key components. Website is not fully responsive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to consolidate and manage trouble tickets for our customers from a variety of channels and using geographically dispersed agents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's pretty much everything you expect out of a ticket management system - tickets, knowledgebase, ticket escalation, reporting, integration with external tools like SalesForce and Jira. The lower pricing tiers get you a lot for the money but are missing a couple of components I consider key. For example, on the mid tier, you can't create basic text blocks on the "Open Ticket" page so customers can receive instructions on how to fill out the form. I think this should be available across all tiers - not just when you spend a few hundred extra per month for the tier that includes branding and full customization. One other major missing feature is it doesn't show recommendations for existing knowledgebase articles or prior tickets when agents are responding to customers. Customers see this when creating new tickets, but our agents have to manually search the old tickets and the knowledgebase to find info that might be relevant to the ticket they have open. They have also come out with numerous upgrades over the past few months, but few of these go to the lower tiers. As a startup, we can't afford to spend hundreds extra per month to increase our tier level. With that said, I do believe they are a decent value for the money - but make sure you know exactly what features you are looking for when selecting your trouble ticket platform.

Easy to use and effective
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk is easy to use and manage for our small support team. We can create and tag tickets easily. It has tremendous capabilities if we want to use it for more ticketing automation. It allows us to forward in requests and it figures out who the requester is with remarkable efficiency, which helps us greatly for billing. The pricing options start at free and then move up at reasonable rates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like all support products, it is "clicky" for manual ticket entry. There are different pricing options and all team members need to be at the same level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improves capture of tickets and billable time tracking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Freshdesk has good integration with other cloud vendors; it is competitive with ZenDesk and other support tools. The overall value is there if other tools are not deeply embedded.
Smart, stable, easy to customize!
What do you like best about the product?
Manage tickets easily, split between agents on the fly, and build your knowledge base. Being able to control which types of client users have access to certain articles in the knowledge base is also excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ticket status assignment is a bit tricky, and a little on the rigid side. Watch for automatic ticket status update settings, as these settings can sew confusion that is very hard to track down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a hard time managing open issues and client expectations before Freshdesk. Being able to manage all open issues by client, assign tickets directly to technical agents, and use Supervisor and other tools in the Freshdesk suite to provide oversight allowed us to scale our company 3x over one year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your development team is using an agile software solution such as Jira, build your help desk to streamline with your dev team. If they are using something less developer-centric, like Trello, Freshdesk provides an essential function that can make a massive difference.
Adequate features and price levels for our needs
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk offered us a very cost effective, powerful platform to deliver a help desk/solutions knowledge base to our customers around the world, 24/7. With multiple levels of service and pricing, Freshdesk has one of the most competitive offerings on the market. The ability to add canned responses for repeat questions allows us to save time on the phone by directing customers to accurate, already written responses with pictures and instructions. This alone has saved significant time in repeating of tasks. The number of different support channels powered by Freshdesk is very impressive, and the ability to manage all levels of support from one centralized dashboard offers streamlined convenience for many businesses. Also, the ability to grow and scale as your needs change is very nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can be slightly complicated until you tweak the settings to exactly how you want it. Ticket assignment rules, etc. could be slightly more intuitive. The layout of pages, etc. is not quite as easy to manage as I had hoped, but once you get the feel for it it isn't too bad. The customization could be a little better, and the look could be a little more "fresh."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer support, knowledge base, help desk. Centralized management of customer support issues. Time savings vs on the phone support, less repeated support queries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare the pricing and product levels of Freshdesk to the closest competitor, much more bang for your buck.
Fresh desk Review
What do you like best about the product?
best customer service platform out there. I would not leave Freshdesk for anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing I would change. The only thing I would change is that they have to tell people when they are recording calls because it is illegal in the United States to not tell people when a call is being recorded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an easy way to do customer support. Freshdesk has really helped us do support.
Get the most out of providing support for your customers with Freshdesk
What do you like best about the product?
The filtering feature allows for us to see tickets located in the many different departments on our team. We are also able to categorize tickets accordingly and move them into their designated queue which allows us to organize tickets, and stay efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times where running the report feature can be a bit 'janky' in the sense that it does not present accurate data or sometimes, no data at all. This is a rare occurrence however. Apart from that, Freshdesk is practically always in an operative state.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My particular department specializes in providing technical support for end users and clients, as well as internal support for employees within our company. Freshdesk allows us to classify the tickets in a very granular manner. You can specify the product the ticket is pertaining to, the team it should belong to, and you can update the ticket once it has been resolved or closed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Classify your tickets in as granular a manner as possible to help keep them organized.
