User-Friendly Intuitive Software with Great Support

  • February 28, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility in plan selection depending on your requirement and budget
Excellent support through trial and implementation
Intuitive and easy to implement, even for a non-IT user
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few minor features I have suggested which appear possible through customisation but, unlike the rest of the system, require some programming skills and experience. Not a major issue though.
The reporting capability in the lower plans could be more flexible in respect of creating custom reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Created a helpdesk for a multi-tenanted building which, unlike previous systems in place, is accessible to users external to our IT domain and is lot more flexible and user-friendly. All relevant correspondence relating to a ticket is available in one place and the SLA and reporting features allow for good monitoring of agent performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of the excellent support avaialble

Easy to use and quick support

  • February 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can chat with them at any time of the day and they'll walk me through the solution!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that I wasn't able to easily export full conversations with our customers. I understand that this may be because of the file being too large.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer support and organization is the top problems we're solving. Best benefit is the ease of use and implementation.

Customer Support responded quickly

  • February 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Not only did Customer Support respond to my issues, they followed up with emails that documented our discussion. I found the interaction very thorough.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not that I minded it, but when I was asked to right click and "Inspect" the page, I was thinking there were people I work with that wouldn't have had a clue what to do. I felt that if I hadn't known what to do Yasasree would have walked me through the process. I can just imagine some of my co-workers being overwhelmed with that task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer Requests are organized as Tickets

Freshdesk is a great and useful tool

  • February 27, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk is a big improvement when supporting via email. It keeps responses from customers concise and together. It provides good tools for sharing support responsibilities with other agents. The "solutions" section is very helpful to my customers and is easier to create and edit than my web site, plus solutions can be easily linked or added to customer responses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Freshdesk system prefers to have users create an account before submitting a ticket. That is a lot to ask of customers who are just looking for an answer. Because I allow customers to create a ticket without explicitly creating an account, Freshdesk assumes the customer name to be the first part of their email address - which makes for very impersonal initial responses. Editing the customer name requires a surprising number of steps. There are many other similar issues with Freshdesk that I have reported to Freshdesk and they have promised to respond, but that was many months ago now - which makes me think they are having a hard time managing support using their own tool. Freshdesk seems to be intended for support for software companies, not consumer products. As such, it is very biased toward a semi-technical customer base. For example, for a user to get support, they must click the button that says "create a ticket". In the software world, that is very obvious lingo, however it confuses non-technical customers (in my world, the ones most likely to need support). It would be more universal to have the button say something like "contact us" for example. I have had a lot of negative feedback from my customers just because they didn't know where to start, so that often results in a phone call which is much less effective and much costlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshdesk is a reasonable choice; Freshdesk is a viable solution, but is not without issues. I suspect the same could be said of any support solution, so for the price Freshdesk is a reasonable choice. Freshdesk appears to be a relatively young company with potential for great improvement. If they are successful, it will be very good to grow with them, but the decision is not without risk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Freshdesk is a reasonable choice and should be considered by any company looking for a complete feature-specific product that will allow many options to the daily grind.

Great Product - Helped with Productivity and accountability of our Desk

  • February 27, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Reminder and their Supervisor, Observer, and Dispatcher based rules.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations could use an update to their features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Desk had many issues with SLA and accountability. Freshdesk has made the tracking of tickets and reminders easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product. Their technical support is amazing. Don't be afraid to ask for modifications to current integrations; when we signed up with them their Freskdesk-Jira integration was missing key components to us and their support and development team were great at modifying/updating the integration to meet our needs.

Great for tracking, difficult to maintain though.

  • February 27, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the time tracking! It really helps us understand where our time is being spent as a team on different clients, task types etc. The set up was difficult but the team behind the scenes at FD were brilliant. Really eager to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
FD takes quite a vast amount of time to set up and personalise. It's not very user intuitive and although the team are so eager to help I feel their response were scripted sometimes, we worked a number of the issues out by pure elimination. IT also take s lot of time to maintain, assign, tag etc. The option to see all notes relating to a client would be helpful in a central location.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer service queries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set up in your quietest period and ensure you take a considerable amount of time out to do so.
