It's a comprehensive bundle that allows us to answer any queries or concerns our clients may have. Using this program, we are better able to maintain satisfied clientele.
Pros
My favorite The UI and methodology behind Freshdesk make it ideal for managing and resolving customer inquiries via email. It's an indispensable piece of office equipment for handling all of your customers' questions in one place.
Cons
The fact that it's a fantastic resource for anyone interested in fielding consumer inquiries means that there aren't any downsides. You need only implement a method of logging in with a cell phone number.

Freshdesk in general is ok to work with, it doesn't excell in specific matters but also not fails. However we made the misstake to close our contract directly with Freshworks (as our re-seller stopped), this has been the biggest misstake ever. There customer service and assistance is not excisting, questions remain unanswered, no solutions are offered, with this all kind of problems start to arise for which no solutions are offered
Pros
The reseller that was between Freshworks and us
Cons
No full intergration with their other modules. (chat, sales). FreshCRM completly failled product which was only shorly on the market and replaced by Freshsales again.

To arrange the best quick and helpful response
Reviewed on 2025/01/13
Pros
I loved Freshdesk's ability to achieve immediate response across all the channels we use. Freshdesk's ticketing system is powerful, all inquiries are turned into tickets and automatically transferred to the relevant member's panel. The chatbot is great, easy to set up and can cover more than one language at the same time, fast, and accurately understands the content of inquiries to simplify customers' access to the services they need easily.
Cons
There are no negatives to mention. Freshdesk is straightforward, easy to set up. Its arrangement of transferred tickets according to importance is excellent.

Great Ticket Management Tool for Customer Support
Reviewed on 2024/11/07
Pros
Very effective ticket management, can be integrated with a wide variety of softwares either through the marketplace or through custom SDKs. Very stable product with great customer support.
Cons
Pricing is a bit on the higher end and the way Automations can be created and implemented in Freshdesk is not very good when compared to other tools.

Overall, Freshdesk is a solid or "fresh" choice for small to mid-sized businesses needing an intuitive, feature-rich helpdesk solution. Its strengths lie in ease of use, automation, and multi-channel support, though more complex needs may require upgrades or consideration of alternative platforms.
Pros
The platform offers a robust ticketing system that consolidates customer queries from various channels like email, phone, chat, social media, and websites. Automation is another strength, allowing repetitive tasks to be streamlined, ticket categorization to be handled automatically, and issues to be prioritized efficiently. The pricing scale is sort of standard in terms of what other companies also offer.
Cons
Reporting and analytics are limited in the lower-tier plans, and accessing more detailed insights requires upgrading to a more expensive plan. While the platform is generally easy to use, setting up advanced features and automations can be complicated, especially for beginners such as myself. Also Freshdesk’s support team is rather slow compared to other companies.

Great, easy to use, handy as I have apps on my phone and can access whenever I need. I think it's a great tool to manage customer service side anytime and from anywhere!
Pros

Cons

Freshdesk from our users is crucial as a consumer app. With Freshdesk, our customers can quickly and easily send us comments or concerns, and my staff can quickly and simply respond and stay in touch with the customer. Each feedback ticket may then be monitored to ensure it was addressed and resolved in a timely manner.
Pros
We've been using Freshdesk for years and are quite pleased with our decision to switch from Jira. With so many tickets, we quickly outgrew Jira, which caused it to break often and make its interface cumbersome. After years of problems, we finally made the transfer to Freshdesk. When compared to Jira's pricing and functionality, it's hard to top this deal. Since we'd lost our previous wiki and needed to start again, we used Jira's streamlined setup process to create a new one. It's a combination of the help desk's ticketing system, online chat, email, and a comprehensive knowledge library.
Cons
There is nothing I dislike about Freshdesk. As a support desk tool, it much above our expectations, therefore I will be investigating their other offerings.

After several months of using Freshdesk I can confirm that it's a powerful and user-friendly solution for ticketing and customer support. Entry-level plans are affordable but costs can grew quickly in higher-tier plans, if you need advanced features like custom reporting and better automations.
Pros
Good reporting features, intuitive user interface and easy setup.
Cons
Occasionally when generating large reports it could lag or freeze. Automations are good but somewhat basic compared to other platforms.

Overall, I am quite happy as a user when it comes to Freshdesk. It is easy to grasp, and it notifies you promptly when new tasks are popping up. The Call Centre function is very reliable and easy to use, especially since the phone app is well maintained, meaning no calls are missed. It is very easy to log cases and to also search for said cases.
Pros
Fresh Desk is very easy to use and to understand basically from day one. I also like the fact that it is very light which makes it run very fast, making our work very quick and reliable. Once you get the hang of it, you can practically solve all cases using just a few buttons on the keyboard.
Cons
When there is a maintenance issue, causing Freshdesk to crash, there is no notification as to why this is happening and how long it will be down for. The Fresh Chat mobile app keeps crashing without any reason, and it does not provide an error code, making it difficult to figure out how to fix the problem. The tech support for the app is also abysmal - they are extremely slow to respond or they just don't respond; when they do respond - they reply back with bot-generated problem "solutions" that basically end with "please contact support".

Reviewed on 2024/01/20
Pros
The ability to setup up multiple channels direct for specific clients. The call routing of DDI’s and reporting is important to monitor KPI’s.
There are lots of great features such as automations which is great when you are an active Helpdesk dealing with hundreds of tickets daily.
Cons
Some of the changes on reporting when they discontinued the legacy reports and moved to analytics has been poor as dependant on your setup the data isn’t always accurate or easy to digest.

Freshdesk has been a great tool for my small-medium business for a number of years now, and has improved customer service and efficiency considerably.
Pros
I've been using Freshdesk for my small business customer care team for about 5 years. It is very user friendly and all team members have found it really simple to navigate and use successfully.
The app has also improved dramatically over the past few years and is a very useful feature for checking client responses on the go.
I find some of the most useful features are the private notes that customer service agents can keep on individual tickets, along with being able to assign tickets to certain agents for actioning.
We also use the tagging feature a lot and due dates for tickets that need to be actioned on a specific day.
Cons
The admin panel is less user friendly and I'm restricted to having to setup all automated processes, canned responses myself as my team finds it too difficult.
