Not recommended for small businesses

  • March 07, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk has a modern UI and makes it easy to manage customer feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system and their plans is optimized for mid- to large size businesses, with a lot of features for managing large teams of customer support agents. For smaller teams this means it can quickly get expensive and you'll be paying for a lot of things you don't use.

It also seems like they are not prioritizing small teams. I had a bad experience with their customer support where it would often take up to 5 days for them to respond. They also promised us a certain price over the phone, only to backtrack and give me a much higher price in the follow-up email the next day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing emails from customers and tracking them as tickets.

Simple to use, couldn't work without it!

What do you like best about the product?
So easy to use, and so efficient, categorizing requests and creating lists is so quick, and collaborating with team members is instant.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like creating new forms to be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Freshdesk as an internal helpdesk for staff to raise a variety of requests for production of sales, and support of internal software users - accounts, websites, CRM etc.
The ability to have all requests from across the business centralized into one system where we have dedicated team members dealing with these, and making it so easy for work to be picked up or passed along is so beneficial, the support team is far more efficient than the old days when individuals received direct requests & information got lost or forgotten. I honestly don't know how we managed to keep on top of support before Freshdesk!

A Complete SaaS Customer Engagement and Support Solution

What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk is very easy to use and configure and you can begin accepting tickets from your customers quite quickly after purchasing or starting a trial. Since Freshdesk is a cloud based solution, there are no hardware implementation requirements to budget for. We were easily able to integrate with our existing Office 365 mailboxes to recieve and respond to tickets through integrations included with Freshdesk, which made the process very easy.

I use the product daily, and spend equally as much time in Freshdesk as I do in our own software and on the rare occasion an issue may arise, the Freshdesk customer support team is quick to respond to any challenges that may be encountered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Freshdesk can be a bit pricey when compared to it's competitors, however the integration with our Freshsales CRM outweighs the benefits of attempting to make an implementation of an alternative customer service platform work for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshdesk allows us to keep up with every customer inquiry with ease and organization.

It has transformed the customer service that we provide for our services

What do you like best about the product?
We are currently on the entry tier so the price is very budget-friendly for us as a nonprofit company, and FreshDesk gave us a nonprofit discount. The GUI is very intuitive for us as help desk agents and submitting tickets is very easy. We have many instances of FreshDesk within our organization, so it is nice that all the help desks have a consistent experience. At the higher tiers, you can get access to plugins and FreshDesk allowed me to use the API from a higher tier when I was importing tickets from another system. I couldn't ask for anything better than this.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't very many things that I dislike about FreshDesk. If I had to be picky, it would be that they have spam sensors that get tripped up when our users post any kind of URL, and the ticket is basically ignored and messages are thrown in the bit bucket, which is not a great experience for either us or our users. On the other hand, this means that the take security very seriously, so it's difficult to fault them for this. I just with it was handled a little differently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were keeping track of support items, both changes and new things in Trello before, but Trello is not really a help desk. Adding FreshDesk has allowed us to be much more responsive to our customers and not let things fall through the cracks as easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. if i update a dropdown field all existing tickts data for respective fields become unassigned/blank.
2. if we merge a ticket it cannot be unmerged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is keeping all the tasks at one location and in this way it better to handle ticket by filtering it based on tags and field we assign. Also other features like smart solution article suggestion, canned responses , and analytics helps in reporting purposes.

The reports help us with tracking our team, along with assigning tags to emails to track certain issues. Also being able to look up certain communications based on key search terms.

A Great ticket management tool

  • February 28, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface, It's very easy to navigate and configure the settings. Also, it's easy to add ticket fields and apply automation to streamline any business process.

The use of ticket templates makes it a lot easier for agents to provide the best solutions to customers with little effort. It saves time and helps to track tickets seamlessly.

Other features like Add Note and Merge are extremely useful for managing and collaborating in tickets efficiently.

And of course, the knowledge base/solution page has almost all the answers you need when you are stuck at anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Primarily the cost. You need to pay for individual licenses for each full-time agent or buy day pass for occasional users. And since now co-pilot is available you need to pay for it if you want to use it, which I don't think is the right decision by Fresh. Your license fees are already high, co-pilot as an additional feature should not cost users extra.

Secondly, I would say Freshdesk should have some basic features like "Set Ticket Field Options" and "Hide Fields" built-in into the system instead of users relying on third-party apps. Reporting can also be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshdesk addresses several key challenges for our team, primarily streamlining our customer support processes. Before implementing Freshdesk, we struggled with managing incoming support tickets efficiently, resulting in delayed responses and frustrated customers. With Freshdesk's intuitive ticketing system and automation features, we've been able to organize and prioritize incoming queries more effectively. It has not only improved customer satisfaction but also increased our team's productivity.

Overall, Freshdesk solves our customer support challenges by streamlining ticket management and automating processes. This has boosted our team's efficiency, reduced response times, and improved customer satisfaction. Additionally, Freshdesk's reporting tools provide valuable insights for enhancing our support operations.
