"Support is now simplified."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The automation and configurability for handling and resolving support requests.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I would like to see the system handle external responses to tickets better. Sometimes when staff or clients respond to email threads that are part of a particular ticket, the system will unnecessarily create new duplicate tickets for the same issue.

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

Our help desk process, including tracking/resolving client issues, has been streamlined.

"Couldn't Recommend FreshDesk More"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

How user friendly it is and how it integrates so easily with our tech stack. All support tickets (no matter which channel they're submitting from, i.e. social media, in-app support, email, etc.), route directly to my team's Slack channel and couldn't be easier to identify and manage.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Nothing, but if I had to knit pick, I guess I'd say I wish some of the web design portal templates were more customizable beyond just colors and fonts. Functionally, however, we have no complaints!

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

As a consumer app, user feedback is everything to us. Freshdesk allows our users to easily submit feedback/complaints and, in turn, allows my team to easily reply and communicate with that user. We can then track the status of each feedback ticket and make sure that each ticket has been properly handled or resolved.

"Simple to get set up and easy to use"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I first started using the free version at a previous job. Then when I moved to my current company they were using Spiceworks which was clearly not working for us. We moved to the paid plan of Freshdesk and it's increased our productivity massively and has helped us give a more professional look to the end users.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

It's back-end configuration is somewhat lacking compared to other options and sometimes can feel restricting. However, this allows for an extremely streamlined setup that just works so isn't a huge issue.

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

Before moving to Freshdesk we used Spiceworks which was extremely clunky and hard to use. Since moving to Freshdesk the entire team is a lot more productive. We also love the arcade feature.

"Comprehensive Ticketing and Client Communication System"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I utilize the canned templating features often to provide quick responses to clients. I really appreciate the ability to share links to solutions easily while responding. The platform is intuitive and organized.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

As a non-admin user, you are limited to very basic platform usage. It would be nice to have the ability to customize your own dashboards as a basic level user.

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

FreshDesk allows me to remain in communication with clients, leave internal notes, easily and quickly share resources and solutions, and stay organized while supporting client needs.
