"Very easy to navigate"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The Ease to navigate and get notifications. The fact I can schedule myself out of the office is a great feature. The call option is also nice but can be improved. Overall, Freshdesk is good at what it is for in all plans

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I am not completely awed by the call feature as one needs to manually resolve the created ticket. I feel the ticket should be resolved automatically once the comment is updated and submitted.

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

Prioritizing our task has been a good problem solver to customer service. It helps us give particular attention to tickets that needs to be resolved on time, mail notifications are always provided and that has been helpful.

"A Lifesaver"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Hands down, Freshdesk has been one of the best things we have instituted at our company. The ability to successfully track short and long-term issues has resulted in a more stable network environment and improved user trust in our IT department. We also love that we can tailor the ticket fields to track the trends of issues our users are having. This feature lets us see the bigger picture and work towards finding and fixing root problems.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Our biggest hurdle has been training staff to start using and depending on a new ticketing system, which we have not used before. There is also some confusion about setting up the customized email address for our account. The default Freshdesk emails always go to the junk box, so users are unaware the ticket has been received, is being worked on, or has been resolved until IT can fix that hurdle.

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

It helps us see what user error is versus actual software and hardware issues in our business. Now we know what training deficiencies we may have, and apply other fixes more quickly to prevent work-flow disruption.

One of my favorite things is being able to mark my time, both in real time and to edit it.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Los reportes de tiempo no se visualizan de manera correcta.

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

They are a system company, so freshdesk is used by the support desk, tickets are created for every incident or help that customers need. It helps us to have control over user time, task status and ticket creation time.

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

"I love Freshdesk, just works"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It's a super easy tool to implement and deploy. It connects well with our internal tools like Atlassian.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I really dislike the chat function, this could be so much better. I would love to have really strong integration with Intercom which is really innovating.

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

It helps us organize the inflow of customer and prospect requests. It saves us time in building targeted response plans and allows us to organize defects.

"Freshdesk is the BEST"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Been using it for years and so happy we changed from Jira to Freshdesk! Jira crashed on us several times and was clunky and hard to use because we outgrew it so fast with so many tickets. So we switched to Freshdesk and haven't had a single problem in years. The price can't be beat and it is so worth it in ease of use compared to Jira. Very easy to setup, we had to setup from scratch and had lost our entire knowledge base and rebuilt it in Jira. We use the ticket system, chat, email and knowledgebase.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I can't think of anything that I don't like about Freshdesk. It has exceeded our expectations as a helpdesk tool and I will be looking at their other products too.

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

After the first time the helpdesk got spammed they quickly added a mark as spam feature and never had the problem again.

"Excellent features at a competitive price."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

We're a busy digital agency, and FreshDesk allows us to manage all our client support questions and issues in a single place. We can discuss internally and track tickets to ensure we're providing timely, accurate support for our clients.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I've been using FreshDesk for 5+ years and have no complaints or issues at all.

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

We used to answer all client questions via our regular email inboxes. This was obviously not scalable, and also not trackable in terms of response times, status, etc. FreshDesk is our collaborative inbox where we manage all our support tickets, and it's changed how we operate as an agency.

"The best software tool for managing your emails"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Very user-friendly and does not require in-depth training just to get the hang of it. I can easily manage our company emails with the help of this amazing tool.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

You would have to pay extra if you need other users to use the system within your business, but that's understandable. Right now, that's the only thing I don't like about this tool.

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

We can easily manage our emails by just using this tool. Multiple users can use it at the same time which makes it more amazing since we need to make sure that all our company emails are answered on time.

"Freshdesk is simple to use!"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The most useful thing about Freshdesk is that you can easily assign emails to colleagues and transfer ones you are unsure about to others who can assist! It really easy to use.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The least helpful thing about Freshdesk is that there are too many options. They have unresolved, overdue, due today, open and on hold. They do not apply to every company here; we only use resolved and unresolved.

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

So what Freshdesk really help with is automated responses (canned responses). These provide quick solutions to a lot of asked questions which are generally most common questions asked.
