I have been using Freshdesk for over a year. Based on my experience, I work with several CRM tools, including Freshdesk, Zendesk, and Intercom. One of the reasons why I love Freshdesk is that the user interface is smooth and it is pretty easy to understand, especially for someone that is coming in as a new agent. The way the ticketing is arranged makes it easier to respond to tickets and to prioritize them based on their urgency, whether they are high, medium, or low priority.

In the organization I worked with that used Freshdesk, when I was brought into the system, they added me as an agent, giving me a chance to go through the various tickets. When a customer ticket comes in, Freshdesk is easy to use and easy to respond to. Occasionally, I also had the opportunity to expand their knowledge base, especially through the solution center where you have FAQs. If you identify frequent complaints that customers have over a certain time, you can create a detailed explanation, add it to the FAQs, and run with it. My experience with Freshdesk has been very good and easy to use.

The most valuable features of Freshdesk that I have found useful are the quick and automated customer handling that uses AI and self-service options along with collaboration tools, which I plug into Slack, allowing my developer team to know directly what errors come from the main core of our website.

Freshdesk's collaboration tools easily integrate with Slack and Jira, which is why I appreciate using this tool, as it plugs into Slack core features that improve our website and enhance response times for resolving issues from our developer team.

The auto-assignment feature is particularly valuable as it alleviates the administrative task of manually checking for available engineers to assign tickets. Moreover, Freshdesk's requirement for appending resolution details before allowing ticket closure ensures the automatic creation of a knowledge base. The timer feature helps in determining the cost of incidents by tracking time spent on resolutions. View full review »

I am using, for the most part, the tickets, the solutions, and the forums in Freshdesk. 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. They are very effective overall.

What I find best about Freshdesk is that it is user-friendly and easy to assign to employees to do their tasks.

It is easy to use. If we receive any ticket from the client side, I can easily assign it to the respective coordinator and technical person. I can assign that ticket to them to work on time.

The features I appreciate best about Freshdesk are the ticketing tool and its various functionalities.

Freshdesk is very easy to use, it is user-friendly, and users can access knowledge base articles. It depends upon what tool or feature you want to use, as you would get everything from the knowledge base itself. There is an e-learning platform for the Freshdesk services, and it will explain in detail and depth which module you want to implement, how you can implement it, and how it will be beneficial for your use case.

Freshdesk, Freshservice, and Freshdesk CRM have their different specialties and different features, and they serve completely independent purposes.

Some of the best features of Freshdesk include automation, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive support options that enhance our workflow.

With the existing capabilities in Freshdesk, they assist in manual assistance by streamlining communication and providing essential tools for support.

I have used the self-service portal for customers, and it has significantly helped in managing customer queries and reducing the workload.

The insights I gather have benefited my strategy by providing actionable data that informs our operations and decision-making.

Freshdesk provides a plain vanilla solution, making it user-friendly and less complex. It offers insights into team performance, with ready-made reports and GenAI features that assist in creating reports. The tool allows automation through the use of keywords, which helps in routing queries efficiently or closing them automatically without agent intervention.

Freshdesk significantly improved our customer issue resolution process. We can now easily record and track all customer requests, ensuring that no tickets are lost. This has given us a clear vision of our IT team's performance helps us efficiently address and prioritize customer issues and provides a streamlined and organized approach to support.

It has a user-friendly interface and manages tickets very well. It's easy to use and integrates with other tools. We can embed Jira into it, link Jira tickets with Freshdesk tickets, and use it for our knowledge base. If we want, we an upload our knowledge base. The canned responses feature is great for reducing response time.

The ticketing system is smooth, but since we use a free version, we do not have many facilities available. Facilities like CAN messages, FAQ facility, and Auto Resigning are really helpful.

Their knowledge base is phenomenal. The way that it learns from our users is awesome, and responses are really awesome as well. It does a pretty good job of picking up what's needed. The knowledge bases are great.

Its simplicity is valuable. It is straightforward and very easy for people. When we brought it in and moved from Outlook to ticketing, the concern was that a lot of our teams are older folks. They've been doing the same job for 15, 20 years, and they're not as likely to be as happy about the change. It was interesting to me that the older folks loved it and caught on to it so fast. The old timers, the people who've been there and doing their job, loved it. They never wanted to go to anything else. They absolutely loved it. The younger folks were like, "I wish it did more." When the younger people came into it and they realized that they could actually configure their own custom workflows for their stuff, they loved that. It was a lesson learned for me on what to train them on and what to give them access to because there are really good ways to set it up where it is not putting the system at risk.

Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution. It also has certain built-in features similar to the ones provided by ManageEngine. So, it is now highly configurable in terms of workflow.

The easy integration, open APIs, and their overall product, which can be integrated with in-house applications have been valuable. We have also been able to connect and integrate our social media accounts into our in-house ERP system. 

Using Freshservice, our agents are able to see the full communication history with a customer in each ticket. This provides context for every agent, even in instances where we have new agents join the team. The solution also allows for the grouping of communication by employee ID which has been useful. 

This solution allows us to auto-assign and close tickets if there's no response within 48 hours. We can upload separate holiday calendars and time zones for India, Europe, the UK, or regions that update times stamps for customer communication based on these different times.

Freshdesk releases new features every few months based on the needs of their customers or the market.

Finally, very little code is required to make changes to the system.

This is the best tool. There are so many good features, however, one of the main, best features is the restrictions allowed for the agent. With a few mouse clicks, you can change the restrictions for them. For example, what tickets they can see, or what features they can use. 

You can put in some custom apps. It is quite easy to program custom apps and integrate them as Freshdesk is very open with tutorials, and they jump in whenever the programmer has issues.

You can learn the solution yourself rather fast. It's not complicated to use. Basically, what you see what you get. You don't just have to use it out of the box; you can find workarounds easily. 

One of the main benefits is that it is not complicated and the layout makes it easy to find what you need. Everything there, including email notifications, automation, SLA policies, customer sales sections, and so on. It's labeled. It's not complicated. When you click on something, you know what you will get, basically.

I like that it's very user-friendly. The way they designed this application, any layperson can just do some drag and drop actions and use it. It's not that difficult. It's also easy to implement. 

The most important thing is, you don't need to go to this application to create a ticket. You just send out an email, and the ticket is created automatically. I have never seen a feature like this before.

What I found the most valuable about Freshdesk is that it generated reports for us, which helped us identify the status of requests and the aging of requests. There are certain levels to a ticket depending on the category. Whenever we downloaded the report, we were able to see the aging of the tickets, ensuring that we were 100% with the SMAs that we've committed to your client.

We currently don't use calls for Freshworks because of our IT provider in Nigeria. However, we use email and chat, and they both work well. Some new features that they recently released will give the chat, Freshchat, more functionality than Freshdesk. We were using Freshdesk before, but we are right now on Freshchat.

The UI is also easy to use.

It is very easy to make reports. There are a lot of tags on every ticket. As a supervisor or as a head of a certain department, you can easily make reports for every agent on your team. 

The solution is stable.

It's scalable and is able to handle big workloads.

The user experience on the platform itself is fantastic. The UI is clean and uncluttered, so it's easy to find any information about your customer or the issue at hand. You can find out the person responsible for that particular issue, what the problem is, who the stakeholders are, and how to resolve it. There are lots of tools that will help you do that as well.

The solution is very easy to configure. It will not take a lot of time to configure.

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. Right now, we are in a big development stage with our business. 

The solution is very stable.

The scalability is good.

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. We can connect it with our phones and our chat, and also with the API and have it as an email service. Freshdesk just makes our life easier.

We were previously using OTRS on the on-premise server and there was limited space for us. With Freshdesk, we don't have to worry about that because they actually have a cloud version where you can store more information. Also, the analytics of Freshdesk, for me as a manager, make my life easier tracking the performance of the customer support team.

Its simplicity is most valuable. It is easy and simple, and it requires negligible training effort. I don't spend all my time goofing around trying to find stuff in the ticketing system.

One of the most valuable features is the multi-agent system, although this is possible with most CRMs. There is the option to create different roles for specific users. We make use of groups for each customer service team which has been very effective. We are able to apply different sets of rules for each group which determines how they interact with customers and escalate issues. 

Freshdesk also provides useful data for the tracking of tickets and their statuses using time stamps. We have been able to implement different interventions for such as calling a customer when certain timestamps are made.

The organization between other departments is the solution's most valuable aspect.

The interface and dashboards are user-friendly.

The pricing is okay.

Freshdesk works out great for us because it can be accessed from anywhere where there's an internet connection. Because we use it as our own, and our partner's (that we fulfill orders for) customer service help desk, it has been a great and flexible tool.

• Email/ticket handling.  
• Custom email server option.  
• Knowledge base framework is really good, but not quite as customizable visually as Zendesk.  
• Also, the Freshdesk API is so powerful...  We can do basically anything we can think when it comes to ticket handling.

The most valuable features of Freshdesk are the completely customizable solutions center (assuming you have LOTS of patience), the ticket automation, and the reporting.
