"Freshdesk Review from user"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It can speed up and simplify our work. By utilizing this website alone, we are able to respond to consumer inquiries and provide reports. It is accessible from any device also.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The disadvantage of Freshdesk at this time is that it logs you out automatically. That's what I'm observing right now. As of this moment, Freshdesk's service is nice. Just keep up the good service

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

When there's an issue on the service that we are handling and we need to create a report. We can use the Freshdesk to count all the affected customer by creating Jira. This is very big help because the manegement can take an action right away.

"Freshdesk has been exactly what our organization needed"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk is straightforward and intuitive as a support request system. It's simplified enough for a basic user to navigate, but also includes great customization options for those that want to go the extra mile. Staying on top of support requests has never been so easy.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I have not had any issues at all since our implementation of this solution in 2019. No major dislikes or negatives. If I had to pick one it would be having the availability of the bot to eliminate "thank you" responses from re-opening closed requests. We had this for a time (possibly for a trial period) and it helped tremendously in cutting down the need to re-close requests that were already closed, simply due to an end user replying with their thanks. But, otherwise everything else works beautifully.

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

Freshdesk provides a central location for end users to go for requesting support, which makes their lives easier. It also provides a central repository of all support issues so we can keep email inboxes clear of clutter and maintain a history of requests, including full conversations and solutions which can be recalled at any time for future use.

"Support is now simplified."
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The automation and configurability for handling and resolving support requests.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

I would like to see the system handle external responses to tickets better. Sometimes when staff or clients respond to email threads that are part of a particular ticket, the system will unnecessarily create new duplicate tickets for the same issue.

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

Our help desk process, including tracking/resolving client issues, has been streamlined.

"One product that offers so much for any business that has clients communication"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The upside of using Freshdesk is it's easy to communicate easily with clients or with other staff members. It is a central bank for all incoming emails, calls, faxes, and more.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

One thing that I would like to change about Helpdesk is that all new or unopen tickets should be pushed to the top. Sometimes I will get sent a ticket and I won't see it because it will be too far down on the list.

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

Its solves having multiple inboxes. Everything from fax, missed phone calls, emails, and more get sent to one centralized mailbox (helpdesk) for everyone to see. It is easy to assign tickets to staff members to complete.

"Couldn't Recommend FreshDesk More"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

How user friendly it is and how it integrates so easily with our tech stack. All support tickets (no matter which channel they're submitting from, i.e. social media, in-app support, email, etc.), route directly to my team's Slack channel and couldn't be easier to identify and manage.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Nothing, but if I had to knit pick, I guess I'd say I wish some of the web design portal templates were more customizable beyond just colors and fonts. Functionally, however, we have no complaints!

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

As a consumer app, user feedback is everything to us. Freshdesk allows our users to easily submit feedback/complaints and, in turn, allows my team to easily reply and communicate with that user. We can then track the status of each feedback ticket and make sure that each ticket has been properly handled or resolved.

"Comprehensive Ticketing and Client Communication System"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I utilize the canned templating features often to provide quick responses to clients. I really appreciate the ability to share links to solutions easily while responding. The platform is intuitive and organized.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

As a non-admin user, you are limited to very basic platform usage. It would be nice to have the ability to customize your own dashboards as a basic level user.

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

FreshDesk allows me to remain in communication with clients, leave internal notes, easily and quickly share resources and solutions, and stay organized while supporting client needs.

"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.

"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.
