Freshdesk Review
What do you like best about the product?
1. It's a place where all our work issues are raised
What do you dislike about the product?
1. When using my iPad and I'm logged on on the browser, I can't merge tickets no matter how many i try and use different browser like Chrome or Safari. So as a turn around I merge tickets using the app. but I don't like the interface of the app. I like the desktop view better.
2. Changing signature has been hard. There's an update on my signature, it's a photo but it doesn't get uploaded. I tried many time and used different network but still can't get it to update. I gave up.
3. It's a pain to reply to email or to edit the sender of an email. When there's a ticket and you need to reply, you are not able to edit the "to" recipient. It would be better if this is editable instead of forwarding it to the correct recipient.
4. I wish notifications will be improved. I always missed a lot of notes for me or updates from my ticket since the notications part the bell icon doesn't show all the notes for me although I have set notifications to receive all notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Monitoring maintenance and cleaning issues in our managed apartments.
2. Receiving building notices from building managers and it creates a ticket for us so it's a task for us to send out to guests then we can close tickets.
3. Creation of tickets for issues that needs action.
4. Knowledge base - we put our how to's in Freshdesk.

A lot of glitches as time goes by, there are times where we can't find older emails not even in the archive for some reasons. We raised a concern to support. Although they are responsive, they still hasn't fixed the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are a few actually;
1. Canned responses has glitch. Everytime I make a new one, I have to double check again if everything is saved because they always cut halfway. I don't know why.
2. Missing emails, some thread history doesn't show and they just have RE: in the beginning of the subject

Fresh Desk for IT support team
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use, to track tickets and manage the daily activities
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to integrate with other applications like ConnectWise.
it is NOT easy if i want to reply to all and if i want to change the recipient. Like if the Ticket was initiated by Mr. A and Mr B and Mr C were CC and if i wanted to reply to all but change the primary recipient to Mr. B; it is almost impossible, that is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helps in keeping track of tickets, prioritizing tickets and categorization
This solution offers knowledgeable customer support and would benefit from on-the-go translation
What is our primary use case?
We are a health insurance company that uses the solution to communicate with our customers through chat, as well as health providers and other prospects. We use it according to teams; the customer success team is divided into three teams: those who attend to voice only, those who attend to emails only, and those who attend to chats only.
For every request that comes in via any of these channels, the agents in these channels take charge there.
What is most valuable?
We currently don't use calls for Freshworks because of our IT provider in Nigeria. However, we use email and chat, and they both work well. Some new features that they recently released will give the chat, Freshchat, more functionality than Freshdesk. We were using Freshdesk before, but we are right now on Freshchat.
The UI is also easy to use.
What needs improvement?
Currently, they have Freshchat as the central platform. But for email, I would still like to have assistance around how our agents can assist our customers, such as on-the-go translation; as we are expanding to the emerging market, we would not be able to hire and pay customer support agents in those areas immediately, so we won't be able to attend to their conversation if we do not speak the same language. That is something similar platforms have, which I would like to have included in Freshdesk.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Freshdesk for over three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Freshdesk's stability as eight out of ten. There is room for improvement with the chatbots.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. We currently have about 16,000 chatbot sessions monthly, which keeps growing every month.
How are customer service and support?
Support is very knowledgeable, so they know their products very well. They can almost always resolve your problem immediately.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was relatively easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
One of the issues we are looking into is the cost. As we keep on expanding, it means that we will need more licenses. Currently, that would blow our budget. That's the main concern right now because the cost is very expensive.
Aside from the license, we have chatbot conversation costs.
What other advice do I have?
One should go for the solution if cost is not a problem or if they will not expand to major markets and require many licenses. There is still room for improvement, but the UI is easy to use, compared to some other platforms. I rate Freshdesk a seven out of ten.
Ok if you're a small company
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and easy to use, and relatively cheap
What do you dislike about the product?
The training offered is poor, and functionality is limited
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a place for customers to raise tickets and check existing knowledgebase articles. We came from having nothing in place, so a good step-up
