"Freshdesk is the most User friendly Helpdesk"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

How it is User friendly, and easy to navigate

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There are a few bugs, likes it automatically saves the late sent message, so when the ticket reopens, you see the message you sent as a draft. It is just annoying having to discard it a lot of the times.

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

Dealing with people over email as opposed to phone calls.
