The ROI depends on the context; if I am comparing one application to another, it might be around ten percent, but if it is from manual to a streamlined process, the ROI is much higher—sometimes reaching forty percent for parts return and the first-time fix rate.

The customer support provided by Freshdesk Omni is very proactive and supportive.
Software Engineer at Deloitte
Unless you have premium support, assistance is restricted.

Salesforce directly does not give you the support, and it is through the partner that you have to go, leading to some time delays.

Customer service has improved significantly for developers, with strong support provided.
Salesforce Consultant at BYTENET

Salesforce Service Cloud is highly scalable for medium to large enterprises, offering smooth growth despite occasional governor limits.
Freshdesk Omni's scalability allows us to scale to numerous users, and it is easy to scale, but as you do the scaling, it becomes more costly.

Room For Improvement

Freshdesk Omni needs improvements in automation, API limits, customization, mobile usability, integrations, pricing, AI precision, and reporting efficiency.
Salesforce Service Cloud needs better integration, pricing, interface, and connectivity improvements to enhance usability and streamline operations.
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.
Sr. Customer Success Manager - Project Delivery at Kazam
Setting up Freshdesk Omni with Dialpad and Amazon Connect requires multiple configurations, API integrations, and permissions that may be difficult for non-technical users.
Software Engineer at Deloitte
It would be better if you increased the API rate limit so that customers do not need to raise support requests to resolve this issue.
Solutions Architect at Locuz Enterprise Solutions Ltd
Salesforce Service Cloud should focus on simplification.
Lead Solutions Architect at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult.
Assosiate Partner at Autana Business Partners
It could be better in areas such as media; it does not handle media effectively, particularly with pictures and uploads.
CTO at Glenavoo Digital
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Freshdesk Omni's subscription pricing fair but sometimes expensive for basic features, with potential setup discounts.
Salesforce Service Cloud is costly but ideal for large enterprises, with flexible pricing and features suitable for extensive customization.
We received a 20% discount because we were able to book a demo and talk to engineers.
DevOps Engineer at ZuriChat
Having the basic version and paying 50,000 to 70,000 rupees, I feel it is way too much for just a basic version.
Sr. Customer Success Manager - Project Delivery at Kazam
The setup cost is very affordable.
Founder at AppNomu SalesQ
The approximate licensing costs for Salesforce Service Cloud are around three hundred dollars a year per user.
Application Owner at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive.
Lead Solutions Architect at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Regarding pricing, I would say Salesforce field service is affordable, but the cost is increasing a little bit.
Preseales And Solution Head at Tata Consultancy
 

Valuable Features

Freshdesk Omni enhances efficiency and productivity with AI, customization, integrations, and omnichannel communication, leading to cost reductions.
Salesforce Service Cloud offers robust integration, automation, and real-time intelligence for efficient case management and enhanced team collaboration.
Freshdesk Omni has positively impacted my organization by automating processes, resulting in significant cost savings.
Customer service manager at Insight Global
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%.
Software Engineer at Deloitte
The chatbot feature is also essential. Most of my customers want to implement chatbot features on their applications or websites so their end users can raise tickets through chat resources directly from the website instead of writing emails to the support desk, which then get converted into tickets.
Solutions Architect at Locuz Enterprise Solutions Ltd
I can easily connect with the customer, have agent AI to directly communicate with them, and customers can create a case without any intervention.
Preseales And Solution Head at Tata Consultancy
Salesforce Service Cloud improved our organization with its mobile capabilities.
Application Owner at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class.

Featured Reviews

Apeksha Ghatge - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Omni-channel routing has transformed case handling and now supports complex field operations
From my experience, we might need queue-based alignment in Omni-Channel routing. Assignment rules should be defined at the flow level. The challenge with SLA creation is evident in escalation rules, which should include a field flagging feature that is lacking in the current setup. Einstein Bot, linked with Omni-Channel messaging, is complex to define, with a need for all related information in one place, making the process cumbersome. Understanding which bot is associated with specific messaging apps requires manual searching, and this can be improved.
