Offers insights into team performance, with ready-made reports and GenAI features that assist in creating reports
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Freshdesk provides a plain vanilla solution, making it user-friendly and less complex. It offers insights into team performance, with ready-made reports and GenAI features that assist in creating reports. The tool allows automation through the use of keywords, which helps in routing queries efficiently or closing them automatically without agent intervention.
What needs improvement?
Freshdesk's major drawback is its limitation in integrating tools for App Store and Play Store reviews, and social channels like Twitter, which come with additional costs.
Despite having third-party integration options, these features should be inherently available in the tool without additional expenses. Integration with social media and review platforms should be built-in.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Freshdesk for about the last six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Freshdesk is stable overall, with minimal downtime and quick support in case of issues. The stability impacts operations positively, but there are times when technical support is needed, and the availability of product teams can be a concern during escalations.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Freshdesk is scalable and I would rate it at seven point five out of ten. The scalability is slightly hindered by the lack of built-in integration capabilities, which could add value if they were more readily available without additional charges.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support for Freshdesk is rated at eight point five out of ten. While support is generally helpful, there are situations where they rely on product teams, which can delay solutions. In some use cases, technical support could be empowered with more capabilities to resolve issues directly.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Freshdesk was easy and straightforward. With a rating of ten out of ten for ease of installation, it was self-sufficient and did not require extensive support except for certain chatbot integrations.
What about the implementation team?
An implementation partner was involved in the deployment process. They provided a detailed Statement of Work (SoW), and regular discussions helped with the timely execution of tasks. They also assisted with chatbot flows and live chat agent journey automation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Freshdesk's pricing is currently seen as expensive, especially considering the lack of built-in capabilities for social media and review platform integrations. If these were included within the existing pricing model, it would offer better value.
What other advice do I have?
Advice for new users evaluating Freshdesk is to not solely rely on presentations. Instead, obtain a demo to test their specific use cases comprehensively. Freshdesk is rated eight out of ten. Negotiate for GenAI features to be included in the package and clarify any custom reporting needs before onboarding.

Straight-forward helpdesk that provides all the features you need to excel at CS.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use makes training team members on Freshdesk quick and successful; this is a big help in a small business with limited man-hours - we need people who are able to learn quickly, and a simple tool makes this possible.
There's also just enough ability to customize the helpdesk to suit your requirements. Operating in separate regions can make this a challenge but our teams in both the UK and US are able to work separately and also collaborate where needed.
The support that Freshdesk provides is also always quick and provides the answer you need most of the time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Despite it being very easy to use, Freshdesk doesn't have a 'look around' feature that explains the different features and capacities of the platform. For someone who has never used a helpdesk before and has the task of implementing one, this could make it challenging but I suspect that the support Freshdesk provides would mitigate this problem.
The reporting used to be very simple - it has since changed to a more in-depth analytics tool which evidently has an abundance of information but it isn't as easy to use as other aspects of the platform.

its a ticketing system where it will help to Connect with our customers and to Store the Data
Terrific ticketing system
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk makes it easy to designate teams and ticket queues, group contacts by customer, and search prior ticket submissions. It's simple to create custom ticket views based on various criteria. We selected Freshdesk after comparing over a dozen similar systems, and we've been very happy with the choice.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Linking tickets works, but having to do it via a tracker is inelegant, and shouldn't be a requirement.
2. Sharing ticket access with members of different groups is also clunky. You shouldn't have to make someone a collaborator or a watcher, you should just be able to add them to an "access" list.
3. Managing tags can be very unwieldy. Maybe AI could be used to help identify tag typos and possible duplicates (e.g., "CCDuplicateCharge" and "DupCCCharge", or "DuplicateRefund" and "RefundDuplicate").
3a. When multiple entities share one instance of Freshdesk, only tags for that entity should be searchable. Even better: each group has its own set of tags.
4. Agents should be able to belong to multiple groups, but choose which queues will auto-assign tickets to them. Currently, when you get added to a group, enabling ticket assignment sends tickets from all groups.
