Chose Freshdesk Contact Center
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 …

We selected Freshdesk Contact Center because it proved to be easier to use not only for us but for the parents who call our school as well. Our parent complaints of not being able to reach our admin department have significantly decreased. I think Freshdesk Contact Center …

Chose Freshdesk Contact Center
The tool may be set up and operating in a couple of hours, and its implementation is straightforward. When we join up for the service, all we have to do is buy a phone number and load some money into our account, and we can start using the tool right away. After that point, …

Chose Freshdesk Contact Center
Freshdesk Contact Center, when I used it (between 2018 and 2020), had very little interaction with the other platforms in the Freshworks Suite of products. I was very disappointed about this because when you are doing sales calls, it's very important that the call is saved in …

At the time, the features seemed to integrate better with a possible ITSM platform that would be a little more catered to our style and liking. If I remember correctly, both operated on Twilio but I'm not sure if that's still the case. Since I no longer assist with those …

Both Fuze and Jive were vastly cheaper than what Freshcaller provided. The feature set was also much more involved than Freshcaller. For the same cost I was paying for 10 users for Freshcaller, I've been able to provide a full UCaaS with Fuze for about 25-30 users. Fuze has …

Again, I wanted to go with a softphone that was easily able to be integrated with our CRM. I need my team to be nimble and fluid when making outbound calls and responding to inbound inquiries. FreshCaller was a really affordable, cloud-based solution that allowed me to not only …

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.

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.
