Sometimes I'm not able to add notes and the "new ticket" message doesn't appear.

"Freshdesk is flexible and can be made to work the way you do."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I can customize everything, from my technicians Signatures, to prioritizing tickets to sending items to different departments. And as an MSP doing IT service for many companies, their users can reach me using a localized domain name to make life easier (help@yourdomain.com).

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The help and documentation system is not laid out well and often i have to ask support how to do things.

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

We have an excellent, searchable history with all of our clients, reports to show our metrics and automations to make life work faster.

"Great for making daily tasks fun and interesting"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The arcade function creates a motivated team, where you compete for badges and get points for responses. Customer satisfation results in more points, encouraging agents to respond promptly and thouroughly. At a glance you can see open tickets you are working on and your team can cover your tickets whilst you are on leave. The colours, fonts, themes are also fun and not boring. This makes more monotonous works more pleasurable, e.g. if you worked in a call centre.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Less skilled IT users can accidentally reply to customers with internal conversations if they respond to a customer support email in Outlook. If someone replies to a ticket, I get three notifications per reply to my Outlook, one after another. It doesn't spell check your work, so you have to be accurate with spelling.

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

Having one place to allow a triage of questions and problems, based on the severity and the most appropriate person to answer the question in the team. They can be assigned to the best team member for their issue.

"Freshdesk - makes work life easy."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Helpful - ease of use Upsides - user friendly Canned responses Executing Scenarios It is very easy to use be it creating a ticket or adding a contact etc. It also autocorrects the misspellings. I find it helpful.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Least helpful-Integrating CRM into Freshdesk and finding old tickets. Downside is that once a contact or ticket is deleted by mistake then it can't be retrieved.

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

Freshdesk is solving our day-to-day problems of keeping track of the tickets and running automation. It also helps in monitoring agents' productivity. It autocorrects the misspellings in a sentence which is a good addon. Now you have an option to maximize the text editor field which helps in drafting the message/email easily.

In essence, Freshdesk stands out as a versatile and effective solution, streamlining our operations and contributing to an elevated customer service experience.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

To say the least, the only thing I don't like about Freshdesk is that it doesn't have an option to send the response at a scheduled time, for us it is essential. I hope to settle it soon.

Freshdesk has been instrumental in streamlining our customer management processes.

"Lifesaver for Agent Occupancy and workload distribution"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

FreshDesk is intuitive and useful for both our agents and admins who manage the service desk. It has helped our agents move to a healthy and productive occupancy rate, which has had a positive impact on our SLAs overall. We achieved this through the use of the automatic ticket assignment options - as well as using Skills and Scenarios to ensure tickets are shared equally and efficiently within the team.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Setup in most cases will require external technical experience for the more complex options. (For example, I still cannot get the "automated" close tickets for "Thanks!" responses from customers.). However, that being said - the team is quickly on hand to assist where they can.

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

We use FreshDesk to manage a global clientele, with some of these clients being internal members of staff. This means a lot of tickets with varying amounts of information, as well as varying skills required to solve them. Through FreshDesks automations and workflows, we now have a fair distribution system for tickets, as well as easy tools (Scenarios / Notifications) to pass these tickets to each other internally, as well as to other teams in the business. Being able to do all this from within Freshdesk means we can capture analytics as well - how many tickets go to Training, Professional Services etc, which helps us then work cross-departmentally to reduce these types of tickets in the future.
