Very stable but exceptionally costly
It is a fairly scalable solution and it does not require any maintenance. I would give it a ten out of ten for stability. Approximately 100 people use Cisco Webex Experience Management at our company. I do not use it every day, but other employees do. Unless it becomes more affordable, we do not plan to increase the usage of the solution at our company.

Integrated support workflows have provided a unified view but need broader enterprise flexibility
Freshdesk's scalability could be improved for larger businesses across departments. Its intuitive interface is appealing for small to medium-sized businesses. However, when you look at larger enterprise levels, ServiceNow operates more efficiently. This scalability is an area where Freshdesk could expand its offerings. Additionally, I don't have too much hands-on experience with Freshdesk ticket routing. I need to check with the service desk team if they've used it. Similarly, for analytics capability, I haven't explored much on Freshdesk, but I have done it for ServiceNow. I have seen a lot on ServiceNow and the BMC Remedy, so I can speak better for them. I haven't had the chance to look at it so much that I can do a comparison. I haven't had much experience with Freshdesk's reporting. Within its paradigm of customer service management, Freshdesk is quite scalable. But I've said that inter-department and the interoperability is better off in ServiceNow than in Freshdesk.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It works well in general, we haven't had any issues with it. It is stable and useful."
"It generated reports for us, which helped us identify the status of requests and the aging of requests."
"Freshdesk offers way more flexibility, the people there are really dedicated and human, they want you to be happy with the product, and it is much more affordable than Zendesk."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the way that it connects to various folders especially because we use it as a CRM tool, as we can connect it with our phones and our chat, and also with the API and have it as an email service, and Freshdesk just makes our life easier."
"The UI is easy to use."
"Some of the best features of Freshdesk include automation, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive support options that enhance our workflow."
"It's a product that is very easy to use and very user-friendly."
"It's free of charge for us. For our scale of business, it's very important. We don't have a lot of tickets."
"Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution."
 

Cons

"It is very expensive but there are no additional charges after it's purchased."
"Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement."
"Their support wasn't the best, it took a little bit for the person to understand what I was trying to say."
"I face problems with stability sometimes while using Freshdesk. It's a server issue."
"We have many cases where a ticket comes in, and it ends up having multiple team members working on it. It would be really nice to be able to assign a single ticket to multiple people, rather than having to create the parent-child hierarchy that they have set up. It generates a proliferation of tickets that I really don't want to have. Having to jump from a parent to one child and then to another child makes it harder for me to be able to see the entire case from end to end. A simple example is our new hire process or our termination process. We have people who leave. We also have people who come on board. We have got multiple people participating and doing things related to the leaving or onboarding process. Currently, I have to go to different tickets to be able to see whether all tasks are really done or not. If I could assign lots of people to one ticket, it would be really nice."
"The reporting, analysis modules and insights capabilities for this solution could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the account management aspect, having a customer portal for better visibility into my subscription, invoices, and trouble tickets."
"They were just constantly trying to get us to implement break fix after break fix after break fix instead of putting us on the right product in the first place. It wasted a year's time and money."
"More automation would be beneficial, as it could greatly improve our efficiency and reduce manual tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It was definitely not expensive. It was two grand or maybe three grand total for a year. It has just straight and simple standard licensing fees. There is no additional fee."
"We pay approximately $70 per agent to use Freshdesk. We have 10 agents, which is approximately $700 or $800 per month. It is a fixed license, there are not any additional fees."
"We use a combination of Freshdesk, Freshservice, and Freshchat. We use the whole suite. Weirdly enough, we pay more for Freshdesk than we do for Freshservice. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing. You can get different bundles, and you can always move to different plans that are standard. Freshservice can go anywhere from $19 up to $120 per agent, per month. There is such a wide range, and it is very customizable to your needs."
"We use a licensing model only so we pay for the number of agents we have configured in the system only."
"It is costly."
"Freshdesk was the best solution with the best price. It was cost efficient and included all the features that we needed."
"The pricing is pretty manageable and acceptable."
"The best system plan is enterprise. It costs basically 79 Euros per agent per month when it's billed annually and 95 Euros per agent per month when it's billed monthly."
