CrazyCall is a phone system that offers features and resources to increase sales in the blink of an eye. I really like that it is a tool that saves money and time, in addition to guaranteeing growth in our company, it brings benefits to our clients with the opportunity to …
Chose CrazyCall
CrazyCall integrated with our CRM better than the other competitors. The integration was seamless and offered exactly what we were looking for. Some of the other competitors that we were evaluating were not able to integrate with our CRM in the same manner. That is why we ended …
Freshdesk
Chose Freshdesk
more features, can update in bulk, has a solutions text box at the top of the ticket.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk is a solid alternative
Chose Freshdesk
We evaluated Odoo before; it was a good tool with more features than Freshdesk, making it an all-in-one solution. But it is exactly because it is an All-in-one tool that Freshdesk has more refined features for request management and the portal we have considered.
Chose Freshdesk
WhatsApp flow creation for customer engagement definately gave us edge over other software.
Chose Freshdesk
Far more straightforward than Salesforce which has too many features and modules and is very hard to navigate, making it too complicated for our organization. Similarly for Zoho, but not nearly as bad as Salesforce. Zendesk, for us, is quite similar to Freshdesk. The key reason …
Chose Freshdesk
We actually use both JIRA and Freshdesk, and Freshdesk has been a great tool for our clients and our internal users to have visibility over both the big picture and the individual issues at play.
Chose Freshdesk
We use Intercom for 70% of our inbound, its a great tool that has many inbuilt and easy to use out the box features like their knowledge base, live chat, tool tips, product tours etc. We primarily use freshdesk for the customers that want to use our email to raise issues etc
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk offered a faster time-to-value and a more intuitive, easier-to-administer UI for the mid-market team size we targeted. It was more affordable without significant feature lock-in. Freshdesk had a more polished omnichannel experience, and its reporting/analytics were …
Chose Freshdesk
Unfortunately, Freshdesk is the only one I have used. Gmail was the main one before this.
Chose Freshdesk
It had a good set of features and tight integration with other Zoho apps, but the UI felt less modern, and some customizations were a bit clunky. That said, Zoho Desk is still a great option, especially for teams already deep into the Zoho ecosystem or those looking for a …
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk, Zendesk and ServiceNow are all excellent. Other products have good points and bad points, but, in my opinion, are clearly inferior. It really comes down to implementation and how well the ticketing system is integrated with other systems, and customized for your …
Chose Freshdesk
We wanted to move our entire support on a single channel and manage all the support via a single channel so this is where omni channel helped us.

Additionally, knowledge bases and the AI agents are also on the same platforms, so these things help us to improve the quality of …
Chose Freshdesk
I use Freshdesk over other similar products I've tested because the price difference and ease of use for the end user seem to me to be the most suitable for achieving a better return on investment within my company. I also found the various AI-powered automation tools to be …
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk is way beyond these tool. The solution and technology provided is more more step ahead with the shared product.
Chose Freshdesk
We felt that Freshdesk offered better value in terms of pricing and offered a matching feature set. It was also highly recommended by a member of a team that had used Freshdesk in their previous organisation. Lastly the fact that it could integrate into Hubspot (that we use as …
Chose Freshdesk
We use all Freshdesk, Freshchat, and other Freshworks tools—they’re all great. Freshchat is awesome for real-time support, while Freshdesk handles tickets, automation, and multi-channel queries really well. Using them together gives us a complete, seamless customer service …
Chose Freshdesk
its better in terms of pricing for sure as others are completely to high costly.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk was the easiest to set up and was the most straightforward product of all the products we evaluated. It had a better user interface for agents, and provided a great solution to meet our needs at a lower cost than the other products that we evaluated. Freshdesk offers …
Chose Freshdesk
Ultimately we ended up switching from Freshdesk to Zendesk, and then from zendesk to devrev. We're still trying to find the right fit for us - Freshdesk covers the same options as Zendesk, if you use the whole suite it's probably a good option.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshworks desk is very easy to use and understand.
The biggest strengths if Freshdesk as it's usability, Affordability and the vast number of features it provides for its clients.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk lacks some of the functionality of costlier IT tool suites but makes up for it in value. Yes, that means you may have to use two tools to do the job of one complete suite, but for the price and the functionality, Freshdesk does what it does at the best value point.
Chose Freshdesk
As saied before, Freshdesk is very simple to use. It is very agile to our needs and uses, based on the requests are made from our employees only. So, everything they demand, is a well know task or activity in our duties. Zammad does it very well, but needs an on premises …

A very complete tool to be always in contact with customers and meet their expectations and demands in an efficient way, in the established times. The work team is pleased with this software because it automates many of the tasks that had to be done manually before.

Overall, it does a great job of handling support, which is our user case. It is best for narrowly focused issues and issues that are resolved in a few interactions. When issues are broad and have several paths of issues and/or corrections it is not easy to segment off the work and responses necessary. This makes it hard to have several support personnel work on an issue that is more diverse and requires multiple skill sets.

Cons
  • The interface is a bit complicated, but once you get to know it well you can work smoothly.
  • Some emails were getting to the spam box and that slowed down the flow of communication with some clients.
  • Sometimes the system freezes and the software feels heavy.

  • Data Security.
  • SLA Policies where it is not customer / contract driven but agents / groups driven.
  • Audit Trail is not available in Pro version makes the tool adoption difficult from compliance perspective.
  • Chat Bot and Fresh Chat Services has greater potential to explode, but the pricing model tagged to chat bot sessions .are illogical as it limits the ability to use the fresh chat feature
  • Agent Logon Screen use earlier version of Captcha as it is annoying for the agents to login. Very frustrating experience.

My company that used Freshdesk was acquired by another company that uses Salesforce, so our only reason to keep Freshdesk would be records, but migrating the tickets, notes, and company details from Freshdesk to Salesforce was straightforward enough. Had the acquisition not occurred, we would have renewed Freshdesk because the cost of switching would've been too great in terms of price, time, and sunk cost (our Freshdesk customizations would not port over well).

Usability

I gave it a rating of 9 out of 10 because they delivered on everything we asked them to do. Easy to setup, easy to deploy to end users, easy to customize, easy to enter tickets and so much more. Our experience with their support is top notch! After opening a ticket for support they call use back within 10 minutes every time!

Reliability and Availability

I have encountered a lot of errors in the Freshdesk, however, they tend to resolve it on priority or at least they will share the timeline by when this can be resolved. Most of the time the issue has been from the other partner's end. They take time to resolve their vendor issues and they don't have any timelines in case of developed app errors.

Performance
No answers on this topic
The reports take a lot of time to download if the time period is large. Also, the tickets take their sweet time to open and load. It is not fast as Zendesk. Only 30 tickets are visible in a single go and there isn't any option to select all. If we need to change the pages and dashboards it takes a lot of time to open.

Support Rating
No answers on this topic
The main thing about Freshdesk user service is that once a request has been made for information about a feature of the platform, the support team responds to tickets quickly, within a day of writing and submitting them, with information that is concise enough so that there is no need to ask for help on the same topic again.

In-Person Training
No answers on this topic
In-person training is provided to all the agents and it is very easy to learn the basics of the Freshdesk interface. Solving tickets via dashboards, replying to the guest queries in bulk via Freshdesk. The training which is a bit hard is creating the logic according to the ticket flow and intergeration.

Online Training
No answers on this topic
This tool is no doubt easy to learn but in-person training is a lot better than online training. It takes time to grasp things in the online training, however, in pandemic we have done all the training online. Apart from a bit more time we haven't faced any issues with online training.

Our team easily implemented Freshdesk, and as soon as we started, we were pros with it. In a matter of days, we had integrated signatures and canned responses. The biggest problem was the Help Center part, but after some time, that was also integrated. We did not know some features when we started, but that is normal.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
My company had Freshdesk agents from support and success. It's generally difficult to customize permissions for different agent "roles." We were a fully distributed company, so "multiple sites" doesn't apply to us. We found Freshdesk features lacking as we grew our customer base, and adding agents wasn't easy because price steeply increases with number of agents.
