"The Best Tool to Manage Support at Scale"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Before opting for FreshDesk, we directly responded to the customers via emails. But as we grew, customer inquiries and the team size increased. So it became complicated to manage the customer queries directly via email; it was tough to coordinate who was handling which customer's email. That's when we decided to start using Freshdesk. With Freshdesk's Ticket Management Tool, we can now easily assign tickets to a particular agent, and track the response times, resolution times etc.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Nothing much. The mobile app can be a little more user-friendly.

"It is a great platform to use for working purposes."

Using Freshdesk allows your team members to be in constant communication in between coworkers and most importantly in between customer. You can learn all about a client without having to ask any one, just simply go through their emails.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

If you sent an automated email from outside, you cannot find it unless the person replies back on that email.

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

I´m not that involved with the platform.

"Freshdesk makes my small business seem much larger"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Made us highly productive very quickly. Very easy to set up and even easier to create time-saving standard responses and workflows. We provide complex procurement tools and services, and Freshdesk made supporting clients and vendors fast and easy - for them and us.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

When I have to reauthenticate, I don't particularly appreciate going through two logins to access the platform. Make it more straightforward, like Monday.com.

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

Supporting major procurement projects demands timeliness, precision, and uniformity of support. To fail in any of those aspects can be disastrous. Freshdesk facilitates a clear line of communication with vendors and customers who need help and a way to do so with quality, consistency, and speed. As a result, we are able to maintain our excellent reputation and are more profitable.

"Powerful, yet easy, support ticket and reporting system"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk offers a wide range of options, reporting, and flexibility with automation rules to allow individual companies to design and tailer the product to fit their individual needs.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Removing previous agents can be a little cumbersome and lead to tickets not having an accurate history of who did what and when. This may be more of a preference on our part, but we like to keep previous agent history still reporting to the individual even if they are changed from an agent to a "contact" or ticket requester.

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

Freshdesk makes it easy to automate incoming support ticket requests and has a task history. This allows us to not only keep our agents accountable but has also become helpful when disputes happen with end users who may claim that their support request was not handled promptly or adequately. Having a system to go back and see agent performance also allows us to identify shortcomings in our department or provide more training where identified.
