Freshdesk manages and resolves customer tickets in one place

Support and development teams may quickly and easily filter issues in Freshdesk using the many available filters. Using freshdesk has been a simple process. Another perk is that numerous tickets can be linked to the same major disruption.

Pros

When it comes to handling support tickets, Freshdesk has you covered. The user-friendliness of the UI, as well as its vivid method of generating and receiving information. The platform's storage capacity and the extent to which it can be used as a whole are both capped.

Cons

Freshdesk's biggest flaw is that it can be extremely sluggish to launch. Freshdesk's frequent service interruptions slowed response times. In addition, failure notification automation should be kept up to date.

Freshdesk efficiently consolidates customer queries from multiple channels (email, phone, social media, chat) into a unified inbox. This reduces the hassle of managing different platforms separately.

Pros

Freshdesk’s automation features, like ticket routing, automated responses, and workflow automations, save a lot of time by reducing repetitive tasks.

Cons

The mobile app is often reported to lack some of the functionality available on the desktop version, making it harder for teams to manage support tickets on the go.

Freshdesk in general is ok to work with, it doesn't excell in specific matters but also not fails. However we made the misstake to close our contract directly with Freshworks (as our re-seller stopped), this has been the biggest misstake ever. There customer service and assistance is not excisting, questions remain unanswered, no solutions are offered, with this all kind of problems start to arise for which no solutions are offered

Pros

The reseller that was between Freshworks and us

Cons

No full intergration with their other modules. (chat, sales). FreshCRM completly failled product which was only shorly on the market and replaced by Freshsales again.

Great, easy to use, handy as I have apps on my phone and can access whenever I need. I think it's a great tool to manage customer service side anytime and from anywhere!

Pros

So easy to use and manage customer relationships even from abroad!

Cons

Enhancing Customer Satisfaction Through Streamlined Support

Reviewed on 13/11/2024

Pros

I like how its omnichannel support in one dashboard which improves the efficiency of our workflows and saves valuable time. I also like its thorough reporting and analytics on response times and other key metrics which enable us to elevate our support quality.

Cons

Advanced automation and reporting features, are only available in higher-tier plans which may not be ideal for some teams.

When a student came to me, what was their problem, whether it was solved or not, all these things are recorded on Freshdesk, that is why I like it a lot.

Pros

If a student faces any kind of problem, I create a ticket on Freshdesk itself, and its resolution is provided.

Cons

Nothing, everything is good, The feedback from students on this is also very good.

Reviewed on 22/11/2024

Pros

Overall a great support system, we use this internally and externally for our field network. it offers us great flexibility in managing support tickets across a team of three.

Cons

The filtering for existing tickets are quite clunky and confusing at times. Sometimes the filtering sticks even after you have cleared it, which causes issues sometimes.

Overall, it is an OK company, but their payment policy is terrible and I can't recommend them at all unless you're ready to be overcharged and lose money.

Pros

Fresh desk was a useful platform for customer service for 2,000 people for our project. It was easy to use and follow up with.

Cons

Fresh desk has a policy that once your subscription has started it cannot be cancelled. We paid for 6 months, then without any warning or confirmation they automatically renewed it for 6 months and we aren't using it and they won't process a refund. Big waste of money!

Painful in terms of getting what we need. The software is good but everything else around it is a let down

Pros

The system is comprehensive with a lot of features and plugins

Cons

The setup process was painful. Call after call booked in with nothing really being achieved. We ended up figuring most things out ourselves.

Ongoing support when there are issues is painfully slow and I feel most of the guys supporting don't understand the system fully themselves

Freshdesk - Simply

Reviewed on 20/01/2024

Pros

The ability to setup up multiple channels direct for specific clients. The call routing of DDI’s and reporting is important to monitor KPI’s.

There are lots of great features such as automations which is great when you are an active Helpdesk dealing with hundreds of tickets daily.

Cons

Some of the changes on reporting when they discontinued the legacy reports and moved to analytics has been poor as dependant on your setup the data isn’t always accurate or easy to digest.

Easy to pick up and use right away; minimal training required. I appreciate having a centralized location to view, manage, and reply to all of my tickets. It's a benefit if you can combine prepared replies with your own expertise.

Pros

One of my favorite features of Freshdesk is the simplicity with which work can be assigned and prioritized. In addition, the availability of group filters makes Freshdesk a breeze to utilize with large numbers of groups. In addition, the interface is simple and uncomplicated, so creating tickets and monitoring their progression is a breeze. It's useful for managing tasks in customer service. Small businesses can benefit from using Freshdesk.

Cons

The cost can add up quickly for organizations of a certain size. It's preferable to develop a desktop application rather than a mobile one; the mobile app's user experience could require some tweaking.

Ozone Entertainment review

Reviewed on 08/08/2023

Pros

I love the automations and integration in the Helpdesk portion of the OmniChannel. I can really introduce a lot of quality of life features to the team to help them focus on supporting and not repetitive tasks and triage.

Cons

The chat feature has less automations on the backend like the need to add Labels manually as well as the lack of tags. With the introduction of ChatGPT I hope to see more automated tasks. Also the addition of tags as another form of chat categorization will help as the Labels provide a more general placement into a category and the tabs will really help define every chat issue.

Overall positive feedback. We would like to see features be able to be added on ala cart. we would also like easier integrations such as billing and inventory software to easier manage items being sold.

Pros

We can keep track of our tickets and see them grouped in the dashboard. I can see at a glance if anything is overdue and what is actively open. I can run metrics to see how many tickets on average we get incoming per day.

The field service add on allows us to have customer sign their work order upon completion and keep track of time.

Cons

Certain features are not ala cart. Depending on the feature you want, you'd have to upgrade your whole plan and get even more features that you might now want.

sometimes when we are replying in a ticket, the curser jumps to the beginning. We haven't been able to figure out if its a keyboard combination or shortcut that is doing it, or something else.

Overall, I enjoy using Freshdesk and I will continue to be using it for the benefit of my team. It does help them to be more efficient and communicative with the customers, as well as with their team members. It also makes communication with our customers easier and more enjoyable for them.

Pros

I like the AI that is used to route tickets and analyze the customers concerns, as well as perform repetitive tasks. The ticket merging feature helps collectively group similar concerns which makes working through them much easier and more efficient.

Cons

I think the user interface is not as intuitive as it could be, but that could easily be updated over time. The communication options are also slightly limited as well, but nothing that would pose an issue.

I like that freshdesk makes it really easy to categorize and tag items. We work with specific clients, so it's nice to be able to tag clients and also to review details about their accounts.

Cons

I had such an issue with notifications and tracking tickets. Sometimes I would not get an email notification if I was assigned a ticket. If I was just mentioned in a ticket, it was often very hard to keep track of those or to find them again later if I needed to add more to the ticket.

We started using Freshdesk in 2020 when we needed a tech based solution to fielding a number of enquiries relating to COVID in the workplace.Freshdesk was easy to set-up and we had a system in place in a matter of days with users assigned to different levels of permissions.It meant that we were able to respond quickly and effectively to thousands of enquiries that otherwise would have been chaos on a shared outlook inbox.

Pros

The ability to set up “canned responses” was so useful for us as an organisation as we were able to set up draft replies to common questions making our response time even better.I also like the automations and rules that you can set up to do X Id Y happens. Finally, being able to automatically create tickets from an email address on our domain proved super useful and meant our members received a more personal level of response.

Cons
