    I believe Freshdesk is well-suited for companies that manage multiple accounts, such as those in the Business Process Outsourcing industry. It has all the necessary capabilities, such as ticket management that uses omnichannel to receive ticket requests from service requests (managed internally) in the system, emails, etc. There are also several workflow automations that can be built within the platform/system. What is lacking is the API documentation, which limits the possibilities for further automations. Overall, it is a highly recommended tool for managing employee productivity and timeliness.

    Heyflow is very well suited for creating landing pages or simple forms for recruiting employees. It's also excellent as an order form for generating leads. However, it's not suitable for surveys or appointment requests. Furthermore, it's very easy to use, even for users with no prior experience in this area.

    Pros
    Freshworks Inc
    • No prior experience with similar platforms is required to use Freshdesk. I found its interface to be quite intuitive, at least for the end user.
    • It's easy to connect with other platforms, so you can sync and manage data from other platforms because the integrations work correctly.
    • Freshdesk's technical support is quite responsive, with short and effective response times. They have easily handled my questions and issues.
    • It has tools for customizing automated chats, answering frequently asked questions before transferring to an agent. Its configuration is extensive and highly customizable.

    Freshworks Inc
    • Freshdesk is buggy, full stop. I don't know how many support tickets I submitted related to user login.
    • There can be a language barrier with support and sales.
    • There were a couple of hours-long outages that significantly impacted my company's customer experience.

    • Restricted webhook functionality, wed like to be able to map fields without having to post the full request and change the receiving webhook our end to cater to Heyflow
    • a/b testing, not being able to 'keep' older variants which we may want to retest later
    • little things like we only do uk market so all phone numbers start with 01 or 07 so we want to have a placeholder example thats familiar to the user eg 07766554433 but the system is restricted to +447766554433 which is a conversion factor for us

    New support agents can learn the system quickly, minimizing training time and maximizing productivity from day one. Agents are more willing to use a system that is simple, reducing resistance to change and ensuring all interactions are logged (a common problem with complex systems). The platform is known for being easy to set up and customize, allowing teams (especially smaller ones) to get started with minimal technical expertise.The platform makes it easy to set and monitor Service Level Agreements (SLAs), ensuring customers get timely responses and helping managers enforce performance standards.

    Heyflow hat mich von Anfang an begeistert – und das nicht nur wegen der intuitiven Benutzeroberfläche. Die Plattform schafft es, komplexe Prozesse wie Leadgenerierung, Qualifizierung oder Terminvereinbarungen in einfache, interaktive und visuelle Erlebnisse zu verwandeln.







    In wenigen Minuten lassen sich Flows erstellen, anpassen und live schalten – ohne auf Entwickler warten zu müssen.







    Mit Features wie progressiver Datenerfassung, A/B-Testing, personalisierter Ansprache und reibungsloser UX steigern wir messbar die Conversion Rates. Ich kann CI-konforme, moderne und mobiloptimierte Flows gestalten, die genau zu der Zielgruppe passen. Für mich ist Heyflow nicht nur ein Tool, sondern ein echter Gamechanger im digitalen Marketing. Es verbindet Effizienz mit Kreativität – und das mit einem Wow-Effekt für Nutzer und Kund:innen

    Usability
    Freshworks Inc
    Freshdesk is extremely easy to use as implemented it on our own with average technical skills. A lot of the options are straightforward and Freshdesk provides easy-to-understand explanations for some of the more complex-sounding ones. We recently onboarded new specialists and they were able to learn Freshdesk with minimal training.

    Heyflow is very user-friendly and intuitive, especially for non-technical users. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to design and launch interactive flows quickly, and the real-time preview feature is a big plus.
    I’m giving it an eight because while it’s great for most standard use cases, there are some limitations in advanced logic, dynamic behavior, and custom styling that can require workarounds.

    Reliability and Availability
    Freshworks Inc
    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.

    There have been no notable outages of HEyflow to date, not even in the past. If an outage is imminent, HEyflow will announce it in good time. If it occurs unexpectedly, SUpport will find a solution as quickly as possible. In some cases, a different server solution has been offered temporarily to minimize downtime. All in all, the response times of the support team are excellent.

    Performance
    Freshworks Inc
    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.

    Heyflow's performance is truly exemplary and fast. We have never had any performance issues, regardless of how many visuals or videos we used. Unfortunately, we cannot comment on integrations, as we do not use any except for a Meta Pixel. However, even this has not affected our performance so far.

    Because I never worked with a company that responds so quickly to their customer! They are always fast at responding and very open to new ideas and quickly turning them around to include them in future releases. They walk us through when we need assistance and are very good at communicating. Overall top notch support

    Heyflow's support is truly world-class. Whether via chat or email, you'll receive genuine help. If a problem can't be resolved immediately, they'll look into it and usually get back to you the next day. Their response time is generally very fast compared to other companies. It's also possible to book a free appointment at any time, during which a representative will contact you by phone to offer advice and assistance on how to improve your performance.

    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.

    Was a fairly quick implementation for us. However, we are only doing email integration and not some of the more complex integrations that are possible. One clarification on an earlier question. I selected that Freshdesk doesn't have a given feature, but this is not true. I selected this because there wasn't a selection for I don't use the feature. This is a weakness in the survey.

    I had already used Heyflow at my previous company because I was familiar with it from a service provider. Therefore, it was an easy decision to implement Heyflow again. The implementation was very straightforward, just as planned. There were absolutely no problems, and it worked perfectly from the start. But that's precisely what makes Heyflow so great!

    Compared to Crisp, Freshdesk offers much more organization and is just much more helpful when it comes to having more than one region/team. Not that Crisp is bad, but with Freshdesk, internal communication and collaboration are much easier, which was quite important for our team to grow.

    Heyflow Vs. Typeform = Heyflow wins because of design flexibility as TF is very stuck in their typical classical look. Heyflow also comes with a plethora of more options to improve lead quality and has drop-off analytics as standard. Heyflow Vs. Growform = This one is tougher as I think Growform is very competitive with what you get value-wise like no charge for phone and email network validations against Twilio and Neverbounce API's. Also Growform comes with a much more generous submission count for their smaller tiers AND I'm not capped by the amount of forms.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    Freshworks Inc
    I was not very involved with the purchase/contract (my company purchased Fresjdesk before I was brought on), but I will say that pricing per agent made it difficult to grow our support team. Additionally, we were kind of disappointed after our upgrade because it didn't solve our pain points as much as we expected.

    No, I wouldn't change any of Heyflow's terms and conditions or price. The price-performance ratio is simply impressive. I don't know of any other provider that offers a platform that allows you to start from scratch without any prior knowledge and gives you top-notch support at all times, helping you optimize your flows and get even more out of them.

    Scalability
    Freshworks Inc
    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.

    The overall scalability is excellent in Heyflow. We have the ability to work across locations as a team without any limitations; it doesn't matter how many team members we have or how many customers we cover. The scalability and flexibility also allow us to serve our customers with the same account and thus cover different business segments when it comes to online forms.
