Very useful tool for support.
What do you like best about the product?
Many things - I especially like the way you can customise and save your preferred different ticket sorting views.
Oh and the dashboard achievements are fun!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to 'hide' fields I don't use to filter.
Not having a scrolling left hand and right hand panels.
I'm not keen on the new mint view - customisable colour schemes would help sway me towards using it.
Losing the CC'd users when using a macro to put emails from outlook into Freshdesk - perhaps there could be an option to chose whether you want to include the CC'd people or not.
You can't add a BCC when creating tickets.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Macros to input emails automatically from Outlook into Freshdesk is invaluable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I personally prefer the older interface (i.e. the non-mint version) as its easier on your eyes and aesthetics. I'd try that before trying mint.
Good helpdesk application
What do you like best about the product?
We love the /c feature: https://youtu.be/KqnYL-5Z4jU?t=8m40s
What do you dislike about the product?
cloud application - we'd prefer the local.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
standard support helpdesk emails - people ask us on how our products work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
many demos we have seen, but not one was as helpful as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqnYL-5Z4jU
Furthermore, we would recommend to keep language in english - this way you can make sure to always have the latest and greatest state of the art features.
If a secondary language is installed, it is not possible to change primary language again, thus I would recommend to stick with english.

Freshdesk gets the job done with a simple, fast interface
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Freshdesk's simple interface that loads quickly. The snappiness is what sold me over Jira. I expect all of the features I need to be across competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've run into a few small bugs that don't interfere with usability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a small, growing company, being able to get a handle on incoming requests has kept the office happier, and my department more efficient. Being able to easily quantify effort has helped our department vocalize needs with management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great combination of features and simplicity. The perfect balance for me.
Great service, as usual
What do you like best about the product?
The prompt response is always my favorite thing about working with the Freshdesk support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have to pick something, it would be that the features I was hoping for still aren't in Mint yet. However, I understand that Mint is still in "beta" and/or still being worked on. I'm confident that everything I'd like the software to do will come in time, so this isn't much of a negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do a lot of back and forth while working with our customers. Freshdesk really helps us organize the requests, and make sure they get to the appropriate people. The tickets sorting features (priority and last modified) have immensely helped us make sure we keep a very quick response time, and our customers appreciate that.
Great application, great support and ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
The application is very intuitive and has lots of automation possibilities. It is really improving our support experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although you might find lots of tutorials and helpful videos, there are some features that lack information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Professional support platform. Great response time and ticketing visibility. Lots of automation options that decrease our response times and help manage and align the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look for the videos on how to setup and understand the Observer, Supervisor and Dispatch'r features. This could really improve the way you implement and could help you create Scenarios before getting to configure the application.
Easy to use helpdesk
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and not expensive. Setup was straight forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found any features we dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing cost of helpdesk solution. Easy to dispatch tickets to correct people automatically.
IT analyst
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and logical interface provides great functionality for customer support. Also from mobile devices, you can get a quick overview of the service with access to all applications with filtering and notifications. Freshdesk allows you to change priorities, agents, statuses and other parameters, automates routine activities, blocks spam and can help your call center. We tested several another systems before and their settings were combined with other rules of processing applications. Here they have a separate section, and the option is divided into notifications to the agent, the client, etc. Everything is much more detailed here.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system is flexible in usual helpdesk cases but very restricted in case your scenario is a bit different from the standard. There is no way to create a ticket for a customer and send a notification with a ticket number. Only on behalf of the customer or as a regular email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been looking for a system that would allow us to work effectively with clients. It helps effectively process customer requests on all available channels (email, chat, Facebook and Twitter, just a phone, a website).
Easy to setup and service is surprisingly nimble even if on the free tier.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy database setup. Customer support is very good. Web interface on the document support site auto format for multiple platforms with little to now effort. This makes supporting PC's, Tablets and Smartphone's very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish I had better control of linked documents on the free tier. Occasion updates cause issues with the data we export into Excel. When the field orders changed, our Excel macros fails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer issues were being tracked on handwritten notepads before we started with FreshDesk. With FreshDesk we now have actual data to help us grow and improve our business.
New IT User
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and the intuitive. I am a new user coming from Autotask. I find the UI much easier to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I have not found any issues. But will report if found as this will be my new helpdesk solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this as our internal help desk.
Very responsive support
What do you like best about the product?
Even though it took a while to resolve the issue, the support person was always very quick to reply and offer suggestions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The issue took relatively long to solve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Freshdesk to run our helpdesk system. This helps split things into different categories.
