It really helps to keep track of my tasks and support tickets.
What do you like best about the product?
The 'Ticket Views' option, it does a great job of organizing tickets and allowing me to track them through separate views. The SLA indicators also help me prioritize my work and ensure tickets are closed on time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Replying to a thread in Outlook results in a duplicate ticket being created, which I have to manually merge each time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshdesk makes our support process easier by keeping all customer messages in one place. It helps us organize tickets, set priorities using SLAs, and respond faster. Features like ticket views and automation save time and reduce manual work. This helps us stay on top of issues and give better support to customers.
Could be way better!
What do you like best about the product?
Having a customer portal where they can submit tickets, access the knowledge base & track their tickets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The portal needs to be more customisable easily rather than needing an engineer to customize it every time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us connect with our user base & triaging their complaints etc. This creates a sense of trust on the brand image.
Freshdesk makes Support works simple and scalable
What do you like best about the product?
It's user-friendly, which made onboarding our team a breeze. The automation features like ticket routing, canned responses, and SLAs help us save time and stay organized. We also love how it centralizes communication across email, chat, and phone — making support seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app feels limited compared to the desktop version, especially for admins. Some of the more advanced tools and reports are locked behind higher-tier plans, which adds cost as we scale. Initial setup for deeper automation also had a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us manage high volumes of customer inquiries without losing track or missing deadlines. It centralizes support from multiple channels, so we don’t need to juggle between platforms.

We use it for the customer support team
Great range of tools, so easy to integrate and use.

Freshworks offers a very user-friendly interface. The ease of setup is there and its ability to manage customer interactions across multiple channels like email, chat, and phone, while linking tickets across has helped us.
The automation features, such as ticket routing and canned responses have also been a great use-case for us.
Additionally, the analytics and reporting tools provide valuable insights to optimize team performance.

What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app is very limited compared to the web version. Also, sometimes the agent responses can vary while setting up certain features, which leads to confusion and so much back & forth.

Awful Experience. Bad Team. Bad Product. Overcharging.
What do you like best about the product?
unfortunately, we never got the product working even with their help. I don’t see any upsides.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their support is pretty bad. We had a set of requirements going in and we’re executing against those requirements. Their support just tried to force us off the phone and could never really solve the basic functionality. We need in a support system.. for instance, showing a users own tickets. It was not easy to integrate, and all the documentation was different. There referenced various versions of their web SDK and then tried to send me different configurations and versions, and it never worked. I didn’t even get to trying to secure login, JWT.
Then we tried to stop the implementation because it was wasting our time and very fragile and kept breaking. We were on a month-to-month contract yet they continue to charge us for 10 agents when we haven’t even gone live yet they won’t work with us on refunding that money or stopping future payments.
Unfortunately, now we have to refute those charges since we’re month-to-month we never signed a contract.

Freshdesk - Our always available multi-channel manager
What do you like best about the product?
Over the past few years, using Freshdesk has allowed us to manage our emails and social media chats in once place. We are able to tag and manage all our crticials communications and add automation tools when we experience spikes. The Freshdesk ecosystem is great, and we also make use of Freshchat that blends seamlessly with our ecosystem of applications. If you require support with anything you can drop their support team an email and they usually respond within a few hours with some troubleshooting and the option to send them screenshots/video clips so that they can better resolve your issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently no dislikes of Freshdesk, once you use it, you'll realise what an amazing benefit it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to bring support and communication management into the Freshworks ecosystem with Freshdesk and Freshchat that covers multiple channels and allows our entire team to work on every single day.

Using ticketing and forums enhances customer support experience effectively
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I am using, for the most part, the tickets, the solutions, and the forums in Freshdesk. These features are easy to use, and the filtering is really good, providing a good overview of active tickets and who's working on them. They are very effective overall.
What needs improvement?
I would like a better integration towards Azure DevOps. The current integration is more complicated and doesn’t work as well. There's not a really good one for Jira, which we are also using.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Freshdesk for a couple of years, maybe two.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't faced any issues with the stability. It has been working nicely.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In our environment, which is a fairly small company in one country, Freshdesk is easy to scale. I would rate its scalability as eight out of ten due to some difficulties when more departments were involved.
How are customer service and support?
I haven’t contacted technical support myself, but I've heard that it is good.
How was the initial setup?
The system was already set up when I started using it, so I haven't done any initial setup.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is reasonable. However, I don't have the exact numbers.
What other advice do I have?
Freshdesk is a good solution that works nicely. I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten due to integration concerns.
