And many more functionality i got with very user friendly like: Emails on certain condition, Tracking the tickets on specific conditions etc..

"Very positive experience with FreshDesk"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I can say that FreshDesk made the life of our customer support team way easier and more structured. We used to use Zendesk but after we discover FreshDesk, we immediately switched there. The quality is way better, it's a more professional software with a lot of necessary features.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The system is very sophisticated and sometimes it's hard to figure out the way settings work.

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

FreshDesk with its tools saves a huge amount of time for our support team. It also helps them to have all important data at the one place and don't lose the grip on the things

"Freshdesk helps my software company organize support"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The best things about Freshdesk for me is the ease of use, access to tickets bother internally and by customers, as well as the Slack integration. Regarding the integration, we are easily able to see when a customer puts in a ticket or replies to an existing one, saving us time by not having to worry about checking all the time.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There is no (at least that I know of in our tier) a way to notify when there's a high priority ticket. We had to purchase a plan with PagerDuty to do that for us.

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

Our old ticketing system was awful and provided no benefits other than tracking responses. Freshdesk gives us many more options and a solid interface to interact.

The interface 's really friendly, they have a lot of video tutorials and the support is incredibly fast, there's also a lot of benefits from the free version, so you can use that and migrate when you really need the upgrades

If you change the helpdesk language the canned answers and templates doesn't change, so you have to translate everything.

"Excellent product and great support"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Any interaction I have had with Freshdesk has been very positive, upbeat and informative

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

At the moment there is nothing I dislike. If there is an issue it is addressed very quickly and we have been able to make changes to fit the system to our requirement with the help of the Freskdesk staff

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

We run a helpdesk for our internal user of the finance system. We were operating using email, but it wasn't very efficient and we couldn't analyse the data. Since using Freshdesk we can see where most of our time is spent, what problems are constantly occurring and the volume of calls being addressed by the helpdesk staff

"Process Lead"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

FD is very Intuitive, easy to use, help us drive insights, can be custom-tailored per our use, awesome product + customer service. The reporting & analytics functionality is really cool,it saves us times preparing manual excel based reports and readily pull up reports from FD. This tool can be utilized in every kind of organization and drive efficiency and get insights on the root cause and come up with the corrective action / preventive action.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Since we all use Outlook email so often, we are used to the way it operates, it becomes difficult in Freshdesk to understand & read the trail mail and to keep track where the history trail started, if it operates the way Emails are done, then it would be an add-on for users.

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

Able to capture the catgories of heavy volume of ticketst and try resolving it on the root level. Get insight on our client behaviour as how do they rate us Good / Bad on which occasions / issues I think the benefits are many, overall it is helping us understand the preference of client for our product / service. We are using this across multiple regions so we are able to consolidate all the issues / concerns and come up with a action plan for resolution.
