The UI and the features are great and easy to use.
The scenario automation can still be improved.
Infrastructure Modernization-related concerns
Easy tracking of tickets In one click, we can identify the productivity of agents/resources. Tracking hours spent on ticket.
Identifying duplicate tags in one click, sometimes ticket categorization did not happen correctly. Auto assignment of tickets based on bandwidth or previously assigned count of tickets.
It is helping to focus all customer related tasks on one platform, before Freshdesk, we were checking every email and were not sure how to figure out pending work. FD allows us to track the customer journey and happiness count via ticket and getting review from customer.
We use Freshdesk daily as a client <> operator communication system, and as a job monitoring system, plus to handle general enquries. It's been a fundamental part of our business since about ?2009 or so. We were early adopters. We're on a fairly low end plan (grandfathered) but it fulfills all the needs we have for it. The fact we're still using it today is a testament to the quality of the system. We use the API to push orders into the system, which was quite simple to implement. When we've dealth with Freshdesk's own support, I'd say the results have been mixed. Overall they are good, but perhaps not quite as responsive or quick as we'd like to implement new, good ideas.
I would like to see more of the API (custom objects) opened to the lower end plans. I would like to see Freshdesk's own support be a little less 'bot -> 'level 1 script' -> finally some actual help from a real person who can read and understand the issue.
It handles all our clinet communication effectively.

Lastly, I appreciate the prompt responses from the Freshworks team whenever assistance is required.

It ensures our operations run seamlessly and we can provide quick assistance. The platform has tons of features and is also surprisingly easy to use - if you don't want something, it's hidden away and doesn't impact the workflow.
We've been with freshdesk for almost a decade now and they've gone through 3 versions of pricing tiers - and everytime it was a little annoying to figure out where we were, what features were allowed and adjust.

The short learning curve allows you to customize workflows according to the processes to be implemented. The interface is simple and easy to use, it is not overloaded and the data is within reach.
That there are some views that cannot be deactivated for certain users, even if they do not have permissions. The limit of direct historical files since they separate the data from one point.

Very intuitive dashboard with options to filter your ticket view to see specific things. There's some great report functionality to keep track of performance and metrics over time. Overall, it's a great platform for Customer Support agents who work in a team environment.
Copying and pasting text with source formatting will cause a white section to show in the ticket once the reply is sent.
The ability to set up advanced automation scenarios helps to save time for many things. I love the filter options in the ticket dashboard with the New and My Open Tickets display view. This helps to drill down to view specific tickets based on a number of criteria.
Ease. Whether you have handled a CRM platform in past or not, you can easily navigate through Freshdesk Or Freschat.
Reports and Analytics. Multiple shortcomings and the team should improve it rather than suggesting apps to download.
As I said, it is an intuitive and easy to use platform for us. Ticketing os easy
Freshdesk allows us to stay organized and keep visibility throughout the entire team providing more time to focus on projects and initiatives. Reports and KPIs are very valuable and easy to use. Freshdesk was very simple to introduce to the team, the platform is intuative and user freindly requiring very little time investment for training.
Sometimes it is harder to track back conversations/threads
Freshdesk has become a tool for our Customer Service team to use and ensure we are offering premuim service to our customers.
Low learning curve, and extremely easy to use. I like that I am able to view, manage, and respond to all of my tickets in one place. The ability to integrate canned responses, and your own knowledge base is a plus.
Works great, and performs well. I haven't had a single issue so far!
We switched to Freshdesk along with Freshchat from Kustomer. We use Freshdesk daily to record customer's issues, inquires, as well as respond to them through emails. Freshdesk is mostly used for reporting technical issues with our customers as well as for any issue that needs constant follow up. It's definitely a great asset in communicating with our customers effectively.
