Sr. Customer Success Manager - Project Delivery at Kazam
Automated ticket workflows have improved collaboration but pricing and AI features still need work
I believe there are many subtasks and sub-tickets which could be implemented in Freshdesk Omni. However, I would say not every aspect of the CRM should be limited, because the more subtasks or sub-modules which are created, it becomes a lengthy process again. A person who has recently joined would need to read the whole history and chat, which is again a waste of time. If Freshdesk Omni could integrate AI to summarize the whole picture of what has been done, what the status is, and what the previous problem was, it would be beneficial. If it could summarize in a good paragraph, it would be easier for everyone who has recently joined, or if the client has changed, or if the project manager for that particular client has changed. The new person coming in would find it much easier to read and understand the client behavior, where the client is in their journey, what the client's vision is, and how the previous product or project manager has interacted with the client. That would make it much easier in that case.

Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive
I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

"We have seen a reduction in average handling time by 30% and have achieved an average ROI for our company of around 225% over the three years that we have used the tool."
"Overall, Freshdesk Omni gave us a centralized view of those incidents that we raise, and we have visibility of ownership and ticket status, and it has helped us in SLA compliance, which eventually helped to improve coordination within our team."

"Freshdesk Omni has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce operational costs, such as through automating tasks, and we have been able to reduce our operational cost from 30 to 55%."
"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."
"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."
"This is all about one use case where we are basically orchestrating all the different systems into one system and making sure that all the information is presented on one page, which improves the efficiency and results in a good experience for the customer."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
 

Cons

"We're working with Freshdesk Omni more on the technical side, on the backbone, and the company is very slow or unwilling to make any progress with their technical side and APIs."
"The pricing for Freshdesk Omni does not favor small businesses to use the solution as it is considered an enterprise solution, and the cost of the tool is too expensive for a native small business to use."
"What could be improved in Freshdesk Omni is the AI; sometimes it is not very accurate."
"From my perspective, Freshdesk Omni needs improvement in channels. For example, using WhatsApp is more expensive and it is lengthy to integrate WhatsApp into Freshdesk Omni, not in the way other tools are really very simple."
"Freshdesk Omni can be improved in multiple ways."
"Additionally, setting up Freshdesk Omni with Dialpad and Amazon Connect requires multiple configurations, API integrations, and permissions that may be difficult for non-technical users."
"In terms of cost, Freshdesk Omni could minimize pricing because the current cost does not favor smaller businesses using Freshdesk Omni."
"Freshdesk Omni can improve the custom object analysis, which is sometimes very slow."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"The UI should be improved."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
