Using ticketing and forums enhances customer support experience effectively
What is our primary use case?
I mainly use Freshdesk as a support system for our customers.
What is most valuable?
I am using, for the most part, the tickets, the solutions, and the forums in Freshdesk. These features are easy to use, and the filtering is really good, providing a good overview of active tickets and who's working on them. They are very effective overall.
What needs improvement?
I would like a better integration towards Azure DevOps. The current integration is more complicated and doesn’t work as well. There's not a really good one for Jira, which we are also using.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Freshdesk for a couple of years, maybe two.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't faced any issues with the stability. It has been working nicely.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In our environment, which is a fairly small company in one country, Freshdesk is easy to scale. I would rate its scalability as eight out of ten due to some difficulties when more departments were involved.

How would you rate customer service and support?

What other advice do I have?

Effortlessly manages ticket workflows with automatic assignment and time tracking
What is our primary use case?
We utilize
Freshdesk primarily for handling incoming tickets. The system auto-assigns these tickets to the available engineer, who then troubleshoots the issue, updates the resolution, and closes the ticket.
What is most valuable?
The auto-assignment feature is particularly valuable as it alleviates the administrative task of manually checking for available engineers to assign tickets. Moreover,
Freshdesk's requirement for appending resolution details before allowing ticket closure ensures the automatic creation of a knowledge base. The timer feature helps in determining the cost of incidents by tracking time spent on resolutions.
What needs improvement?
An area for improvement in Freshdesk would be enabling all features regardless of company or user size. Currently, some features like SMS or WhatsApp integration are only available to larger user groups, but even smaller teams should have access based on their specific needs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Freshdesk for about two years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
There were no significant issues during deployment. The process took about three hours to complete.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Freshdesk has been a stable solution. We have not encountered any issues.

Freshdesk is quite scalable for our needs. We started with twenty users and expanded to sixty users with ease. Additional features like email, WhatsApp, and SMS ticketing, along with
Slack integration, can be enabled as required.
How are customer service and support?
We have not needed to contact technical support, as Freshdesk has met our needs efficiently.
