Simple Easy Service

What do you like best about the product?
The simple layout and flexibility of automations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a description of what all of the automation rules did.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm automating our service desk so that anyone who is new can pick it up easily and be sent reminders on what steps they should be following. Loving the system so far, its letting me build a simple work flow that our new agents will be able to follow easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up for a trial, do a demo. The support team at freshworks will walk you through every aspect. They can really show you what the platform is capable of.

Better customer support

  • January 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a manager, I can monitor the level of customer requests so I can better anticipate high intensity phases and therefore better prepare the operational team.

Then, I can easily follow the operational staff's answers.

Finally, the possibility of having several portals allows you to address different populations while maintaining a single back office.
What do you dislike about the product?
We don't have a testing platform, so all the changes we make are directly in production. This can create problems for operational staff and customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Freshdesk, we have significantly reduced customer response time. Thus we were able to increase their satisfaction.

In addition, the tool provides an efficient dashboard that allows us to present data to the board.
This allows us to show them the quality of our customer service.

Powerful helpdesk solution

  • January 22, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Multi-channel access, scenario automation, custom fields, built-in reporting tools, and plenty of options to split/merge/link tickets.

I'm also enjoying the new Mint UI so far; it's flexible and a nice improvement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Mint UI has some questionable space-saving, like truncated text on the Group/Agent field and an overly condensed formatting toolbar for replies. There's more than enough whitespace to expand both. The main dashboard page isn't too useful for us either.

Finer control over SLAs and channel access would be great. We're trying to bring in more teams but some are specialized with hours or contracts that differ from our core support team (e.g. no phone/chat).

Our developer says there are odd limits on dispatcher rules and API calls for pulling ticket data and managing custom fields. We love automating wherever possible so more power here would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem: Technical support for small/med/large customers on Google G Suite as well as other cloud services and software

Benefits: Vastly increased organization, collaboration, and responsiveness to customers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For small teams, you'll need a separate paging solution if you don't have enough agents to cover a 24x7 help desk. We've been happy with PagerDuty.
