"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.

"Easy to use"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

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.

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

Freshdesk tickets are automatically assigned to agents based on skill, this is beneficial as I do not need to do it manually.

"Excellent Helpdesk Software"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

It's very easy to use, configure and customize.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Some features that its most advertised are available only on the higher plans, and the price difference between them is high. The Pro plan costs more than double of the Growth plan, and if you are going to pay monthly, it triples.

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

It has a very good knowledge base, with widget integration and ticketing system.

"Couldn't Do My Job Without It!"

Freshdesk helps organize all of our incoming emails for Customer Service across many email addresses. The team can all see who is working on what and what needs to be done. As the manager, I have oversight of it all.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk has its own ways of doing things, but once you learn them, it's not bad.

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

Managing customer communication. We can reply to customers timely and see when we are falling short.

"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.

"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.

"Fresh desk is you’re one stop shop for all IT needs"
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The thing I like the best is because the ticketing system is customizable and can be easily adapted to your needs. We first deployed our ticketing environment during the pandemic and it strengthened our team's communication and performance.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

There isn't much I don't like, because it's a great product. I am confident your team will benefit from its platform. There are different tiers of subscriptions available. I am sure you'll find something to fit your needs.

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

We needed a way for our customers to see the progress of their tickets. Our team is small but freshdesk has allowed us the leverage to support a growing customer base. I needed a way to track notes, and tech performance and freshdesk offers reporting and analytics to help with those decision making situations.

It is very difficult to confirm about it as I am unable to find any such things. Everything is good
