Freshdesk Contact Center vs. JustCall

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.

JustCall.Io is well suited as a backbone phone system with many capabilities for small to medium-sized businesses and their sales teams. With its rich feature set, dependable functionality, and developer and integration-friendly architecture, it could be a great solution. The platform is less well suited for those companies that have a well established telephony solution and are only looking to take advantage of one or two of its features, such as SMS for instance. There are probably other solutions that provide the same functionality at a lower price point.

• From this centralized help desk, we are able to allocate tickets and communicate with staff and clients via email.

• 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.

• Customer service/ease of contacting could be better for worldwide users (I believe they're sourced overseas)
• Pricing seems to have increased, which affected the benefit we originally found in the service
• Increased functionality, such as bulk SMS Messaging and power-dialer

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.

It will be compared to the quality of the service and that it is accessible to medium or small companies. It is not a tool that requires greater complexities and its functionality is quite extensive. You will discover that the benefits are more than the problems that you may have.
