Alvaria Quality vs. Freshdesk Contact Center

It all depends on the workforce team if they've settled the tool correctly for the company. In a previous experience, the tool was entirely settled with the group balance available, all the segments we need were added and up to date, and we could easily navigate the tool. On the new company though, there is a sentiment of incompletion, the UI slightly evolved over the past 2 years but only for the name and some design. Though the tool itself hasn't really changed and clarity is missing sometimes. We must be used to it to understand it well.

One scenario where Freshdesk Contact Center is well suited is when we have a lot of parents calling in with requests about student transcripts, and or grades, we can better interact with each caller and not have a lot of people on hold waiting for a long time. One scenario where Freshdesk might not be well suited is when callers get the chatbot more often than talking to an actual person.

• Clarity on the daily tasks, it's easy to know what will be the tasks for the day and for how long it is planned.
• Many options available, entirely customizable for a better accuracy of the tasks.
• Very reliable and easy to use, with multiple format views available.

• From this centralized help desk, we are able to allocate tickets and communicate with staff and clients via email.
• The ability to phone a lead or customer directly from Freshdesk is fantastic.
• Handling of waiting lines.

• There is a lot of options, probably too many and more than 50% are no use to me.
• Some views can be very confusing, sticking to the time is best to avoid being confused by any overlapping segment.
• Lot of options but UI tends to be a bit slow to load and still empty sometimes.

• Cost - the system was felt to be way overpriced for the feature-set it provided. For the cost of 10 support agents, I could engage with a full-blown VoIP UCaaS provider to support 20-30 users.
• The system was dependent on the Amazon Web Services system, which was prone to outages, and as it was outsourced by Freshworks to Amazon, resolution time did not have clear SLAs.
• Non-US support - any issues encountered with the system would go through international channels which decreased resolution time depending on when the development team was available.
• Call reliability was questionable - sometimes agents would have ringing devices that would have no one on the other end - other times calls would be dropped without explanation.

It's a really simple and affordable software solution if you're looking to upgrade your system or processes to a softphone. The service has been fantastic for both our outbound sales team and our inbound customer service team. As a manager, I'm really grateful I found FreshCaller early on in the process of evaluating companies to go to for a softphone.

Freshcaller support is great. They will respond very quickly once I submit a ticket. On occasion, they are unable to answer a question and require a deep dive on some research for random questions but that's completely understandable. Overall, great service, great quality, and very accommodating. This is one of the better support groups, in my opinion.

After multiple checks and constant research we found Freshdesk is one of the leading product service providers and the best at it too. We used to have PSTIN hard phones which caused a lot of drops and customer discontent. After Freshdesk, it has been a cakewalk. Really happy with it.
