"Outstanding CRM"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It is very easy to use. It has a lot of usefull features. The interface is user friendly and easy to navigate. There is virtually no downtime. Support has been excellent and timely.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There should be more integrations such as Vonage AI and ChatGPT and other AI tools. I would like to see more user friendly app development tools that you can use from scratch.

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

It is a all in one package where our team can diagnose, service and troubleshoot our customer's issues and questions. This software helps with keeping our customers happy.

"Great Ticketing System!"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It's a super user friendly website that is easy to navigate and train new users on. I love the ability to have a dashboard that keeps track of tickets per user, ratings on tickets, different ticket status, and you are able to utilize a 'round robin' feature to ensure that tickets are evenly distributed amongst a team.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I haven't found any roadblocks or hiccups with the current system yet, all seems to be working well for our need for the site!

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

Organization and time management of tasks, keeping track of projects and deadlines within a team (and sub-team) role within our department, the ability to create internal notes on tickets without alerting the requester, the ability to automate specific tasks to make it easier on the internal user and the ticket requester as well.

"Amazing!!!"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Easy to Write and Send Emails!!! Formattting Options are available.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Sometimes - the images that we add - they don't get parsed - it shows the parsed failed and we need to add the images again which is a time taking process.

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

Easy way of Sending Emails and keeping a Track of all.

"Easy to use Interface"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I admit that I have a best user experience on Freshdesk. It is very easy to use, has best interface among ticketing apps I have encountered so far. Developers have done a fantastic job.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I do not see any negative points to be honest. But I would like to highlight a situation which can be addressed. Create and Cancel are next to each other which has made me cancel the ticket after filling up the whole information. If they can be moved to right and left bottom far from each other would be awesome.

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

It serves as a great ticketing tool and as an email platform as well to serve our customers in a fastest possible and efficient way

"Paras sähköposti minun urallani."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Hei, Helppokäyttöisyys on parasta. Valmisvastauksia on riittävästi ja työskentely on tehokasta. Risuja saatte siitä että sähköpostia tulee käsittelemättömistä tiketeistä. T. Sakari

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Ylimääräiset muistutukset hoitamattomista tiketeistä saa minut raivostumaan. En usko että olette siihen ainoa syyllinen mutta roskapostini on täynnä niitä joutavanpäiväisiä viestejä

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

Sähköpostien hallinta on hemmetin helppoa ja kivaa kun käytössä on tällainen sovellus. Työskentely on kivaa ja tehokasta kun pelit ja vehkeet toimivat. Vikoja on ollut vain harvoin.

"The only ticketing system you'll ever need!"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

1. Extremely easy to set up, integrate and use. 2. Pricing plans are competitive. 3. Wonderful APIs - nicely documented and easy to use. 4. Easy to customize and brand the portal.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

APIs for integration are missing. We use Freshdesk and Jira via APIs but it's extremely difficult to link the two programmatically.

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

Freshdesk allows our Customer Support & Success team to operate efficiently. Timely communication with the customers is key and Freshdesk makes it very easy for our SREs.

"FreshWork platform (FreshDesk = Service Desk)"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

FreshDesk allows you to keep track and organize your service activities all within a web-based platform. You can see your active tickets, ticket history, and previous tickets with the same contact. Additionally, the integrations are numerous, email (primary), website chat, portal, Twitter, Facebook, etc. The knowledge base is also pretty nice, and you can reference it directly within your ticket. -- FreshDesk is the service desk portion of the FreshWorks platform; you can pick and choose depending on your needs.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

FreshWorks has many components and you don't have to use everything, it just take a little bit of time to understand what each part of FreshWorks is meant for and how you might use it in your business processes...

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

Handling service tickets via email (Outlook) only works up to a certain volume and number of users; after that it gets messy and creates a poor brand image.

I have been working on Freshdesk for the past few years and it's a fantastic tool to handle emails and resolve customer queries. Downloading reports is quick as flash. Kudos to the team

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I didn't find anything lacking in Freshdesk, It's a user-friendly tool to complete all your office work tasks and learn more. One suggestion where you can add spell check in Freshdesk makes life easier.

Easy tool to work on emails, see our individual performance and monitor teams' performance. It's been a fantastic tool so for that I have worked on and I love it and also recommend it to my fellow business partners.

"A powerhouse for customer support"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It is very easy to use, especially for people that might not be the most familiar with IT. You can set up everything you want to make an agents life easier. Probably the best customer support tool I've used so far.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There is not really much that isn't working. Sometimes it can be a bother to get support from the Indian-Team, since there is a natural language barrier but most of the time they really put a foot down for you and help you get your issues resolved.

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

Not really problems per se, it is more like they put everything a company needs to provide excellent customer support in one package and here it is. And we're not even using half its features.

"Sharing my experience"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The best part about the freshdesk is that it has made work more simplified and easy to understand. Before, we were using Google form which was not that reliable or convenient but on contrary to that Freshdesk has been unbelievably amazing. We are able to mention all the customer's details in 1 ticket and select any query and also we can fill up any offer form directly without sharing it with supervisor or updating the same in Google sheet which was very hectic.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Actually there's not a single reason for me to dislike about freshdesk. It works so good and easy to access. So nope, I have nothing I dislike while using the freshdesk.

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

When we're using Google form, we needed to fill out many forms but now we can just add note and check all the work that's been going on customer's complaints without having to check all the forms and which data was also hard to maintain.

"Freshdesk has massively helped the way my work is processed and managed on a day to day basis."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The most helpful thing about Freshdesk for me, is the integration with other apps that help us massively that we use on a daily basis, as well as the notifications that get sent to you via email, asthis really helps to prevent things from being missed.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Sometimes the amount of emails you get from Freshdesk per ticket can be quite difficult to manage, as sometimes you can get say 3 emails per ticket which can make it hard to navigate and control in your inbox.

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

Freshdesk helps me to keep on top of tickets, for example if I email a customer and they have not yet replied, I should chase them on this, but it can be easy to forget this when the ticket is in the status of Waiting on Customer, however Freshdesk automatically sends an email to the customer to ask for a reponse.
