Freshdesk Omni vs. Vision Helpdesk

For a typical technical support help desk use case Freshdesk Omni is great! It has the advanced features of automating responses and canned answers where appropriate. The AI functionality seems good but not something we are leveraging at this point given the volume of tickets.

I think that there is probably nothing that Vision Helpdesk can't do given enough work to customize it. The problem is that you almost have to have someone dedicated to knowing everything there is to know about the system and then have them be the administrator of all the customizations and feature additions you want. It's great that it can do so much, but it's not great that it's so complicated and has very little out-of-the-box configurations.

• When an agent receives a call via Dialpad or Amazon Connect, Freshdesk Omni automatically displays relevant customer details, previous interactions, and ticket history in a single view.
• Every call (answered, missed, or voicemail) is automatically logged into Freshdesk as a ticket, including details like call duration, customer number, and agent notes.
• Agents can initiate outbound calls directly from Freshdesk using click-to-call functionality, reducing manual dialing errors and saving time.

• The best thing for us - the timer. It's really cool. We can start the timer and end it when support finishes. It's very important for working with other companies we give support for.
• Good-looking, with good visualisation and usability dashboard.
• Ticket transfer between support users, comments, ticket printing.
• The best price and functionality, comparing to other help desks.
• Support. Best support I have seen on internet. Helped with setup, and helped with few minor questions.

• It is a very user-friendly tool. We haven't found any drwback in any of the modules provided. It works excellently at my organization.
• Its powerful workflow automation reduces manual effort for job assigning and makes our process more efficient and saves valuable time.

Incentivized

• Chat feature.
• Remote desktop.
• Get more integration with other software and Mobile apps.

For us it's really best solution.

Utilizing a unified platform has successfully reduced the resolution time for customer-facing issues. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency and generates valuable insights that can be leveraged to improve our services and better understand customer needs, ultimately leading to a more satisfying experience for our clients.

Really simple, good-looking interface, many features and customizations

Support from Vision Helpdesk was rather lackluster. We uncovered a bug pretty early on in our use of the system and it took them about a month to fix it. Our internal admin of the system had to keep pestering them to get it fixed. It wasn't critical to our business but was something we needed fixed and it just seemed like they didn't care that much about fixing it.

1) Price is also a point to decide, other Service Providers were providing similar features but the prices were slightly on a higher side. 2) Coming to feature comparison, JIRA offers whole lot of other features but currently we did not require them and Zoho had few less features comparing to Freshworks

Incentivized

Vision Helpdesk was more open for an NGO while the other companies were more attended on the "big-money", which we don't have as an NGO. Second point is that Vision Helpdesk is very easy and simple to use. Not too much installation, programming etc.

• Our customers often give feedback to closed tickets to track satisfaction scores
• Customers appreciate the value of viewing their tickets in the customer portal
• We save time by having a single source system to interact with our customers and track issue history.

• Most cost-effective help desk software I have researched from Kayako to SAAS [products] like Zendesk.
• We got more features and easy customization done with Vision Helpdesk which where not possible for Zendesk and Kayako was too costly.
• Ticket tracking has been easier and faster with Vision Helpdesk; for our web hosting business we prefer a download version which is not possible with SAAS help desk providers ( Zendesk or Freshdesk).
