Freshdesk is easy and a secure way to keep track of customers needs
What do you like best about the product?
It has great email messaging and self-service portals, helps keep track of all customer emails, "tickets" and ensures an exceptional customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
there is nothing i dislike about this software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure the customers receives the best of services and that their issues/requests are solved in a timely matter.
Great program!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can have all of my customer support conversations in one place. I can now easily manage support for social media, email, phone, etc. all on a single platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I particularly dislike, but I wish the price was a little lower.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I would say the two biggest problems my team has been solving with Freshdesk are productivity and support. This program keeps tracks of the repetitive tasks you do every day and you can automate it so it does them for you, which saves me a lot of time. I can keep track of all my support related conversations in one place, so I'm not forgetting to respond to one because I forgot to check.

Freshdesk
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the self help ticketing feature on this platform. It is very user friendly. I am not very tech savvy but was able to figure it out on day one of using Freshdesk. You quickly select the subject of what your ticket is about and document what the problem is. Usually in a timely manner, a response will be given.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it can take a while sometimes to get the response from customer service I am looking for. Although, my employer is from China so that more than likely is the cause of the time issue. Sometimes, the employees are not on the same page and I have to reenter the information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I really would not say that I have any problems with Freshdesk so far other than the above mentioned, time in response at times ( although my employer is from China so there is a 12 hour time difference).
One major benefit I have realized is after I create a ticket, it is so nice that my questions are organized in a column with the response below. It is very simple and user friendly to go back and find a previous ticket, or even to resend the information. If I am not happy with a response, I can resend my ticket as per the question at the end of the response: [Are you satisfied with this response?].

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fresh desk is very user friendly and that's why I think its great. Not everyone is tech savvy and the help desk feature is so easy to use and anyone can figure it out!
Customer ticketing made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk makes it super easy to see customers recent tickets so you can keep communication clear and you don't repeat what's already been done (unless needed). It has made a great difference in how we can help our customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much complaint about other than managers have made a point to say they would like more stats and analytics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a platform that would allow us to help our customers with any issues they may have and this has been super helpful. I can't say its the best out there cause I'm not sure but it has been wonderful for our organization.
A simple, if limited, support system.
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk recently went through a UI refresh which added a lot of productivity and speed to the experience of using their system. It had been a long time since anything was changed, so this was welcome. Also, there is a handy mobile application.
Dashboards have been added recently as well, in order to see ticket throughput and close rates more easily.
Freshdesk has fast loading times and the new interface is much more user friendly, plus it works in real-time now and nobody needs to refresh to see more information.

What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting and analytics are sub-par unfortunately. It's very difficult to pull the information that you need in order to see efficiency by customer or ticket type. Also, the API does not work as expected.
I wish the dashboards were more customisable. Right now it's nice to see what is happening across all departments, but drill-down or configuration would be much more helpful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to provide support services to our many clients in one interface and system. We were able to create an "air traffic control" system to funnel tickets to the correct departments for higher visibility and close rates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend setting up an API connection to pull data into a separate data lake for analytics. Reporting in Freshdesk is minimal for the level we are on, but there is an API. The API is a little lacking, but support can address any issues in data quality you have when setting up.
FreshDesk Could be a Little Fresher
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, recently updated interface. Really easy to tie all contacts to the business entity contact us. Love being able to access it on a variety of devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very simplified to the point of being restrictive. As an agent, replying to a customer contact via email should be easier and more fluid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's our ticketing system for contact from current clients, and some future ones. Been able to utilize SLAs to reduce customer wait time, and get the number of open tickets resolved efficiently.
Worked Great for My Small CPG Business
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup, I am technical but this was super simple. It was easy to configure our accounts, tags and workflows.
We used this to manage incoming emails automatically, and our customer service team entered manual tickets for requests from shopify, amazon or facebook chat. With email integration we were able to redirect shopify and amazon emails to automatically generate tickets as well, however we waited until we were more familiar with the product before going this route.

What do you dislike about the product?
I could this scaling poorly, however with our small team it was perfect. Setup can take some effort, but we found there was good documentation available online so almost all of our challenges had been tacked in the past with helpful guides on how to solve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this to manage customer service requests coming in from email, amazon, Shopify and phone calls.
Still testing

Features
Pros:
- The team has been very cooperative in helping us set up and use the system for our unique requirements.
- Once you get a hang of the overall design and logic, the system is quite easy and intuitive to use - moreso than many competitors.
- We're currently on the Estate plan and the price is very good for what functions and features you get.
- They take your feedback and requests seriously. When testing other services, we've found that some of the larger companies didn't seem to care about our own requirements if their system did not offer it. The FD team were very willing to help adjust and even implement some functions to help us.

Features
Cons:
- Support team rarely gives an ETA (they like to use "soon" a lot) when responding to issues/requests and when they do, they are usually incorrect.
- If you have any ongoing requests or issues, you have to be the one to constantly push and request updates. We have some requests which have been pending for over a year and might have been left to rot if not for our weekly pushes. They rarely contact you proactively about these unless it is a major issue
