"FreshDesk is a Top-Tier Ticketing Platform"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The seamless ability to handle all our Customer Support-related tickets and procedures. FreshDesk is a comprehensive way to manage our inquiries and interact with our customers. FreshDesk also offers excellent additional features such as automation for a much more streamlined organization of tickets.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The biggest downside to us as a company was the recent removal of integration with the Twitter/X platform. FreshDesk was a wonderful way to facilitate responses through this social media platform, so losing the ability to integrate with it is understandable due to Twitter/X's recent changes, but also a shame for us.

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

Communication with your customers is a never-ending challenge for any business. FreshDesk drastically improved our ability to do so as compared to our previous ticketing platform. The benefit of this is greatly heightened customer relationships and streamlined processes for all our agents.

"ticket portal with a Simple UI and customer service first"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The ticket submission portal is one of the cleanest and most helpful I have seen across the brands1 Particularly the clean layout gives a 'self service' to the requester by making features such as 'knowledge base' and other documentation readily available. We have had many support requests entirely avoided by having many help articles easily located the moment a user interacts with the UI. Icons and categories are well padded / spaced to avoid visual overload which detracts from users even considering self service.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Drill downs for exporting from the technican side can be a little clunky. 1 example; Date ranges would be much easier if inputing text date ranges was a feature and not being forced to click a calendar.

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

Easy to manage multiple teams within a service desk enviornment and quickly find tickets. This allows us to keep turn times low across multiple categories which sometimes can be tricky in other service desk platforms.

"Best Service Ever"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Their customer support is fantastic. I can always reach out to them and know I am going to get help within 24 hours. They are always willing to assist with any needs or questions that I have. The dashboard is extremely user friendly. We are always looking for other things outside of ticketing to use it for.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The only thing that is kind of hard to deal with is the properties section in the tickets. When we have one ticket type selected, we would only want that tickets properties to show up. But this is something that you have to request that they remove for you. I wish we could do it from our side.

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

We use FreshDesk as an internal ticketing system for our users. We didn't have anything for a ticketing system before, and we are not really a huge tech company. We didn't need something as complex as the other ticketing systems out there, and we also needed to stay within a certain price, and freshdesk checked all of the boxes for us.

"Best way to create team collaboration"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Many of us can help our people out. It allows for collaboration and less email to deal with. We have found it has streamlined communication and allows for everyone on the team to help and see what has been said already to those we are helping.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The only downside we have had is when we get into a non ending reply cycle with autoresponders. We have had it happen a time or two. It is just due to autoresponders. But Freshdesk has helped us fix it and we appreciated the help.

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

We have over 300 people we manage. This allows for these people to send in help requests and our team to communicate. We can also assign tasks to one another.

"Robust software, great for any size business"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk and the Freshworks suite are powerful! Boasting many features to help you keep up to date with customer communication and empower your employees to do their best work, this software works for a smaller businesses with small teams but could easily scale to a large operation. As someone who is in this software for 8+hrs per day I find it easy and intuitive to use. As a small business we aren't using it to it's full capacity, but have plans to expand our email/social media support to chat and beyond with Freshdesk.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

At the capacity to which I use Freshdesk I have yet to see any issues.

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

Freshdesk makes it very easy to manage emails and social media messages from customers.

"Great ease to make work efficient"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Simplicity of ticketing system. Automations

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Sometime we have to rely on 3rd paty apps t make some automations work. Example selected mandate option on ticket to close them.

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

Helps in having a single mode of communication for the entire team and allows to make automations taht help increase efficieny of the organization. With simple changes or template creations, I was able to acheive a reduction f 37% handle time for my teams.

It is very easy to use on my laptop, my mobile android and iPhone. It used daily has so many features, scenarios to canned responses. Creating and using canned responses makes my team work more efficiently. Daily reports to my inbox showing what I need from agent to SLA.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Not been able to set up schedule send time on emails like in outlook.

"Ease of Use"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It is very easy to navigate and easy to use.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Sometimes the pages freeze up and you can't go back to where you were previously

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

I get to access the customers profile by clicking a link on freshdesk instead of having to look them up on a different website, can edit their information easily and updated their personal details as well as get assigned the ticket you were working when the cx responds back.
