Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Management of campaigns is easy with it. It is a great tool if someone [wants to know] which of his campaigns is doing well and getting the most calls. It is quite favorable for all kinds of marketing campaigns and tracking calls is also convenient with Invoca. We are having a wonderful experience of call tracking with Invoca and its functioning and efficiency are beyond our expectations.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review From an accounting perspective, Invoca makes it easy for us to determine where our call revenue is coming from and what call type generated the paid call. Their dashboard is very user-friendly. I like how you can see everything from the top level and see total call volume, commission paid, and conversion rate. But you can easily drill down into each campaign level too. Lastly, you can easily create call campaigns and create individual phone numbers. I especially like how we're able to create a ring pool that allows us to track exactly where the call is coming from, and it's not difficult to setup. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Learning Invoca can be a bit of a challenge, as many items are hidden in various views. It does lack the ability to speak with 3rd party software with Zapier In certain ways, too much functionality for basic campaign setup. They do not try to take a business development role with their users to help them grow their business. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Invoca's client success team is great to work with, which is a nice value proposition for their business (many SaaS providers struggle with this). Their support team is very talented and fully capable of addressing the vast majority of questions that they receive. I haven't encountered any negative experiences when requesting assistance.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Invoca is very user-friendly. It was easy to learn how to navigate and has a very user-friendly interface. It's hard to compare it against SaaS solutions like Five9 because their functions are different. Originally we selected Invoca because we were unaware of any SaaS solutions that accommodated all types of campaigns. We've found that now in
LeadsPedia , but have still found that many partners prefer going through Invoca, so we still use it. It's an excellent platform for partners to access.
Read full review Return on Investment Call logs helps analyse the interactions which each lead - helps space out if need be. Follow ups are simplified due to viewing of past activity. Easy integration helps in saving costs of phone calls. Read full review It is really useful to set a price you will pay for inbound calls, and let Invoca manage that tracking system. We were able to run campaigns that could not have run otherwise because we had the call tracking for those calls. Read full review ScreenShots
