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.

Structured ticket workflows have improved resolution speed and have supported SLA-driven support
ServiceNow Customer Service Management is offering very good things, but I felt improvements to our process would allow us to depend on this tool in many other ways. Regarding the interface, currently the user who creates the ticket has a very limited interface with only the options for creating a ticket and providing details, while the support team has a much larger interface with many options, including SLA details and report generation. While this classification is great, I felt that some modifications could be brought to the interface. I felt that further modifications can be made so that it could be a perfect tool.
