Sentiment score

Customer Service

Sentiment score

Freshdesk's support is praised for responsiveness and efficiency, but some users report email integration challenges and response delays.
Sentiment score
6.0
Oracle Fusion Service's customer support is knowledgeable but slow, with service rated 7-9/10 and regional disparities noted.
We have not needed to contact technical support, as Freshdesk has met our needs efficiently.
The first-time response should be within 30 seconds.
From my experience, once it is set up, we have never had problems.
Customer service varies as sometimes I receive a good response, and other times I need to escalate issues and involve engineers from Oracle in an OWC session.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
Freshdesk offers scalable, cost-effective SaaS for growing companies with versatile features, though some note integration limitations.
Sentiment score
8.3
Oracle Fusion Service is highly scalable, supporting seamless expansion for all organization sizes with high user satisfaction ratings.
Additional features like email, WhatsApp, and SMS ticketing, along with Slack integration, can be enabled as required.
In our environment, which is a fairly small company in one country, Freshdesk is easy to scale.
Initially, we had ten ERPs, and I have added more since.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Freshdesk is stable and reliable with minor issues, praised for quick support, though connectivity and integration occasionally affect performance.
Sentiment score
8.1
Oracle Fusion Service is highly stable, supporting large-scale operations with minimal disruptions and proactive management of minor outages.
The goal is always to respond to customer tickets in a timely fashion, ensuring that customers feel seen and heard while also providing solutions.
After installation and continuous operation, I have encountered no problems.
 

Room For Improvement

Freshdesk users seek improvements in automation, integrations, support, language options, workflows, and reporting to boost efficiency.
Oracle Fusion Service needs improvements in user experience, pricing, integration, performance, documentation, and modern functionalities for large enterprises.
Currently, some features like SMS or WhatsApp integration are only available to larger user groups, but even smaller teams should have access based on their specific needs.
The current integration is more complicated and doesn’t work as well.
More automation would be beneficial, as it could greatly improve our efficiency and reduce manual tasks.
Simpler integration capabilities.
When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them.
 

Setup Cost

Freshdesk pricing is competitive at 79 Euros annually per agent, but additional features and costs may arise.
Oracle Fusion Service offers flexible pricing but can be costly for small businesses; efficient license management is essential.
Our organization pays about 200,000 Indian rupees per year for the license.
Pricing has always been handled by the company I work with, and even when I get in-house feedback, I have never had issues with pricing or complaints when compared to what others have outside.
I think it's expensive, yet it does not pose a threat, making it costly for my enterprise.
 

Valuable Features

Freshdesk provides a user-friendly, scalable support platform with automation, integrations, and omnichannel capabilities to enhance customer service.
Oracle Fusion Service enhances customer interaction and streamlines operations with omni-channel communication, integration, automation, and flexible customization.
The insights I gather have benefited my strategy by providing actionable data that informs our operations and decision-making.
These features are easy to use, and the filtering is really good, providing a good overview of active tickets and who's working on them.
The auto-assignment feature is particularly valuable as it alleviates the administrative task of manually checking for available engineers to assign tickets.
There are ERP connectors available for Oracle middleware, enabling seamless integration through a drag-and-drop interface.
There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver.

Featured Reviews

Bharanidharan K - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface but needs enhancement in ticket tracking and response times
There is no room for improvement in Freshdesk. We can set a time period for particular employees as something that could be better. For example, if some new employees are unfamiliar with Freshdesk, it should be more user-friendly. They need to give shortcut keys to use the ticketing portal. If some users don't know how to generate a ticket, providing them with a help desk or tutorial portal would be useful for the end-user.
MahaboobPasha - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.
