"Freshdesk makes help desk management simple and intuitive"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is designed very intuitively and has excellent support documentation and live customer support if needed. The interface is very easy to understand when first logging in, and even the advanced features make logical sense when first using them. I've trained many people on how to use Freshdesk and it's always been a simple process to get new people onboarded. In the rare occasions that I needed help, a representative was easily available on the phone and very informative and helpful with their advice.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There are some features which are available through the detailed analytic reports which would be good to also have available through the regular filtering options. The software has so many functions that it can occasionally be a little tricky to find the exact setting you're hoping to adjust.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've developed a very complicated software ecosystem for advanced medical research, so there are always lots of questions from users. Freshdesk allows for managing the help desk in a very organized fashion which is easy to search through and track outcomes.

"Organizing and simplifying everyday work has never been so easy"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Customers' problems, concerns and necessary documents can always be found in one place. The possibilities are endless and the time savings are insane. All the necessary emails can be conveniently linked together, and with the help of keywords and reminders it is easy to stay on time.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

To-dos are one of the most convenient things at freshdesk, but from time to time it would also be necessary to format it for a colleague. Unfortunately, this cannot be done.

Order related questions, package tracking, warranty issues.

"Superb service with unbelievable value for money"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It's quite unbelievable the level of funcitonality and service offered by Freshdesk. It transformed our customer service department. When originally looking for a provider, I was being quoted £4-6k per year... and Freshdesk was free!!?! Since then, we have moved onto their paid tiers, but the value is still striking. Our business literally runs off it 24/7 and we couldn't live without it. They also respond quickly to any issues (not that we have many).

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

It doesn't connect with your Instagram chat, which is a bit annoying

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshdesk makes the challenge of team management much easier, as everyone can what everyone else is working on.

"Design Manager"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It's an easy way to organize emails thought-out a business. You can easily transfer the email to the correct department if needed.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

If more than one department is on the email, only one department sees the email and these emails get lost.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can see you "take" the email and if someone emails multiple times, you can search to see who was involved.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The mobile App could be a bit easier to navigate, but apart from that nothing.

"Robust software, great for any size business"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk and the Freshworks suite are powerful! Boasting many features to help you keep up to date with customer communication and empower your employees to do their best work, this software works for a smaller businesses with small teams but could easily scale to a large operation. As someone who is in this software for 8+hrs per day I find it easy and intuitive to use. As a small business we aren't using it to it's full capacity, but have plans to expand our email/social media support to chat and beyond with Freshdesk.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

At the capacity to which I use Freshdesk I have yet to see any issues.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshdesk makes it very easy to manage emails and social media messages from customers.
