Simple, Clean Customer Service
What do you like best about the product?
I've used several portals for Customer Service and what I enjoy most about Freshdesk is the simplicity. It is just easy to navigate and all the features are obvious and self explanatory. There is not a lot of searching through back menus to find the settings your looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Early on I encountered some bugs in the software that made things difficult. Issues with emails and notifications sending. That was years ago though, and they appear to be all ironed out now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshdesk gives us the ability to provide quick service to customers in need without getting overwhelming. We currently use a different software for our internal clients and Freshdesk for the rest. The base version has more than enough features to provide the service we need to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the base version (it has a free trial I believe). It has some great bonus features like gamification in the pricier versions, but I never found them necessary to provide exceptional support to our customers.
Freshdesk was a great building block
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk was the first support channel I had ever used and it was very efficient and allowed me to grow as a service professional. I liked the games and hierarchy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Phone and chat were not easily intergrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed us to communicate efficiently with our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely integrate everything in. Not as solid when using multiple platforms.
Email and Chat
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk gives us good insight into our email and chat communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are mostly little, nit-picky things, but nothing major. Would mostly like to see more flexibility with the chat features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to have full insight into customer responses for quality assurance, as well as reporting and tracking on response time. Freshdesk has helped us accomplish those goals.
Robust helpdesk ticketing solution for SaaS business
What do you like best about the product?
We switched from another helpdesk solution to Freshdesk over a year ago. The transition was pretty smooth and the solution is easier to use for our team and our clients. The solution is very stable and is always on. So far we haven't encountered any down time. Our customer success manager offered to review our setup and offer recommendations so we can leverage the solution to its fullest potential.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to get more support to use the solution more optimally. After talking to our customer success manager, we have setup a time to discuss best practices and how we can use the solution more optimally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely on Freshdesk as out support ticketing system for our SaaS based center management solution for child care. So far, it has worked out pretty well.
Rapid support when we needed it
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Freshdesk heavily for quite some time; and it's a big improvement over our previous ticketing system. However, we've been struggling with the automatic new ticket creation feature, as we had people trying to append to existing tickets who were originally part of the ticket string. I found a support string on the same subject and contacted the the Freshdesk representative involved. Within 15 minutes he'd responded and a few minutes after that he'd fixed our issue for us. Now that's service!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the reporting and search functions could be richer. I'd also like it to integrate with Connectwise Automate (previous Labtech) out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a IT service desk support multiple customers, their users, and infrastructure.
Good System, Fits our needs well, Support could be more empathetic
What do you like best about the product?
Our team has used Freshdesk for over 2.5 years. It works really well to manage a variety of ticket types. I like that everyone in our company feels comfortable navigating the system. With a little bit of knowledge it's fast to set up and customize processes to your liking. They have great help tutorials if you need more information on a feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support leaves a lot to be desired. Typically if I have an urgent issue I reach out via their live chat. I have had a lot of problems with their agents not being empathetic to the issue at hand, or having to "prove' that there is a problem, repeat details, or provide information that their team has access to see already. They are also frequently slow to respond to chat messages. The folks I've worked with directly (dedicated account managers, etc) have all been great, but live chat (which I use when the walls are burning down already) leaves a lot to be desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team uses Freshdesk as our "document of truth" - all customer data ends up here.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn the product well. And get a good account manager as a backup to their live chat support.
Help full

Sometime fresh desk will be slow which leads waste of time and also usually often it will be technical issue which is so irritating sometimes.

Great product - excellent customer service
What do you like best about the product?
We are starting our relationship with Freshdesk, and so far support has been understanding, friendly and helpful.
Every organization has its own needs and quirks. So far we have found Freshdesk to be quite adaptable to our needs. It does take some work to set up, however at every stage, we have received excellent advice and help from the Freshdesk support team.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. It IS a little challenging to adapt your process to a software system, but that is true of any system. Challenges we have faced so far have been solved or assisted by the Freshdesk team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple help emails and a variety of people answering (in two languages). We are still in the starting stages, but the Freshdesk system is a huge improvement over email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test the heck out of it during the trial period - throw your emails in and use it as if you were responding to live customers.
Be flexible. Almost no software will meet 100% of your needs.
And reach out to Freshdesk support with any questions.

Support Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The look and feel of Fresh Desk is great. Easy to create and track your support inquires. We went from the free tier to the next level for more reporting needs. The best thing about Fresh Desk is the support responsiveness and problem solving abilities. Aravind S. helped me figure out a reporting solution within 24 hours!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the download and reporting options aren't user friendly so you have to play around with the parameters at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to respond to our clients quickly and efficiently with product inquiries. The 'solutions' feature let's me respond to clients with FAQs within my response very easily.
