Easy to use, inexpensive, good support
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk is just simple to use for both our side and our customers. People submit requests mostly by the usual methods--either e-mail to our support address or by going to our support site, but we can also quickly enter phone calls and e-mails that are sent to individuals. Customers seem to like the system, unlike others we tried in the past. From our perspective, the product is about perfect and does everything we want.
The dashboard is very clear and lets us manage priorities and actions needed.
Support has always been great. Contacts are quick and efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Every time we ask for something it seems like they have the answer for how to get it done. I really have never run into anything I dislike, and their support is always super-helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to be able to stay on top of customer requests as well as build a history of past changes and issues. We've solved two major problems. One was simply just keeping track of what needs to be done, and by whom, when. The other is looking back at past changes/problems to spot patterns, or prove that changes were actually requested when customers say something was done that they didn't authorize.
A "soft" benefit is having all of our FAQ and how-to documents in a location where customers will think to look, and that are shown if the customer enters a related ticket. Surprisingly, people actually do read them mostly and it saves us ticket submissions when they find their own answers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run the trial, and see if it meets your needs. Realize that there are a lot of setup options that will help automate and streamline things. Those take some effort to refine, but in the long run it makes things smoother and easier.
Powerful helpdesk software
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of customization is impressive, even on the free version. Their support was exceptional. Freshdesk also supports gamifying your help desk, which will be immensely useful to use when we incorporate students into our technology support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Changing some common help desk settings, like unique email settings per help desk agent, was not intuitive. However, their support was quick to explain how to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this software to manage technology support tickets. It provides much more customization and business intelligence than the other software we use (Spiceworks).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is great if you need something that does a bit more than your average helpdesk software. It is powerful, so like any powerful tool it will require some time to set up and get familiar with it.

A good software
What do you like best about the product?
I, Giacomo, say that Support and simplicity are good things about freshdesk
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes difficult to give right profiles to ticket, since the semantic research engine is not optimal. It's difficult and costly to integrate FD with my VOIP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now I've got a cloud solution that is always up to date plus my colleagues can work with a better software.

Freshdesk got it right!!!

The simplicity of creating tickets via social media and how easy it is to track.

Well, just one thing there is no notification when a new ticket is created on the web portal.

It's very easy to assist our customers who post on social media from one central place and keep track of all our mentions on twitter.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a fantastic solution to help manage all your customer support issues. With a little more spending I'm sure the other functionalities are amazing and efficient as what they already are offering free.

Merging tickets is messy and appears messy for agents.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Freshdesk is great for the price and the number of features. They seem to be adding additional addons
Freshdesk, great ticket system at a fraction of the price of Zendesk!
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk contains almost all of the features of Zendesk but comes with absolutely fantastic sense of humour with loading screens and "lost" page messages.
The inspiring login messages are a great boost to my team in the morning!
The reporting system is clean and easy to use at-a-glance
Support can be a little slower than i'm used to but they respond within 2 hours and have not failed to provide me with the information required.

What do you dislike about the product?
SSO setup is a little more complicated than i would like, but their support team is very helpful with this.
The range of apps are a little small compared to Zendesk but is growing rapidly and contains nearly all the apps i wanted (it is missing complete customisation of hiding ticket fields based on groups) if this was integrated without a separate app installed from their app page this would push fresh desk even higher and make me 100 percent happy with turning down Zendesk

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting and ease of viewing tickets, whilst giving our clients access to a custom built support guide repository.
The ability to split our departments and see only the tickets that are relevant is fantastic.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Defiantly consider this over Zendesk, it has almost all the features at a fraction of the cost.
They are very friendly and even extended our trial to let us be sure this product was for us.
