Raiseaticket
Chose Raiseaticket
Freshdesk is also free to use like Raiseaticket. But when it comes to supporting quality Raiseaticket wins. I had several issues while using Freshdesk but their support team never replied to tickets on time. Sometimes they don't reply to tickets and later close them from their …
Chose Raiseaticket
Raiseaticket was cheaper, more versatile, and easier to use without compromising any of the features that the other programs offer. Also, the system is still growing, so there's a huge potential for this software to grow as well and become a leader in the email management …

Freshworks Inc
Using a collection of Skill Based Ticket Assignment, Ticket Allocation, and alerts, we’ve been able to bring our average resolution time to under half our previous time. This is done by making sure the right tickets get to the right agents, and by ensuring agents are followed up on to ensure they do not forget deadlines on tickets in their queue. Furthermore, tickets which would be open for weeks due to lack of a client response are now closed automatically following a prompt email to the end-user

Raiseticket is the best tool to implement a support system for your business whether it is a small or medium business. If you have limited agents to manage the support team then it will help you to improve your support quality with timely resolution. It will analyse the ticket category and give the team keywords to close the ticket successfully with proper resolution. As it is a web-based tool, you can access this from any device from anywhere. During COVID-19 it helped our team to support our users from remote locations easily. You can also implement these on-site premises which are cheaper than others. But when it comes to modern technology, it is not providing email templates and you have to customize on your own which is a little difficult and time taking. While downloading monthly reports or customized reports it gives errors multiple times. Although we haven't faced any server down with this tool it is a little slow.

Pros
Freshworks Inc
  • Follow up on all conversations that enter and are easy to use by the employee and save responses ready for use.
  • Find out the average rate of the number of conversations that occur in the company and conduct the analysis.
  • There is a feature it allows one to take a permit in the name of the employee who responds to the conversation and to know the problem faced by the customer and the solution.

  • Unique user support request can be categorized within SLAs
  • Templates are unique and integration is smooth.
  • reporting and ticket tracking is also good.

Cons
Freshworks Inc
  • Ticket templates and canned responses should be able to be used interchangeably. We frequently have the same response in both fields.
  • The spam filter can be a little too aggressive. We have had issues with tickets being accidentally marked as spam then filtering incorrectly for weeks at a time.
  • Freshdesk doesn't quite have the right integrations with our other providers (Vonage, and Avochato, to name a few).

  • Pre-set templates could use a bit of a revamp, but nothing major.

We are extremely happy with Freshdesk and can foresee using it for the next year. We might only consider using a different platform if our average daily ticket volume reaches four digits and its AI isn’t enough to handle our needs by then. While we haven’t tested this yet, we have read reviews that it’s AI capabilities are lacking

Usability
Freshworks Inc
I gave it a rating of 9 out of 10 because they delivered on everything we asked them to do. Easy to setup, easy to deploy to end users, easy to customize, easy to enter tickets and so much more. Our experience with their support is top notch! After opening a ticket for support they call use back within 10 minutes every time!

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.

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.

Support Rating
Freshworks Inc
The main thing about Freshdesk user service is that once a request has been made for information about a feature of the platform, the support team responds to tickets quickly, within a day of writing and submitting them, with information that is concise enough so that there is no need to ask for help on the same topic again.

In-Person Training
Freshworks Inc
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.

Online Training
Freshworks Inc
This tool is no doubt easy to learn but in-person training is a lot better than online training. It takes time to grasp things in the online training, however, in pandemic we have done all the training online. Apart from a bit more time we haven't faced any issues with online training.

Not applicable. I have never used a support desk system before and FreshDesk had already been implemented at my company before I joined. I am not involved in financial decisions and I have no opinion on buzzwords like "time to productivity" and "time to value"

FreshDesk was the best combination of ease of use and price. While inexpensive, even the lowest tier offered more functionality than the other guys, and the learning curve is almost nonexistent so it's easy to add new agents and get them up to speed quickly instead of having them spend days getting use to the UI.

Freshdesk is also free to use like Raiseaticket. But when it comes to supporting quality Raiseaticket wins. I had several issues while using Freshdesk but their support team never replied to tickets on time. Sometimes they don't reply to tickets and later close them from their end. When choosing a software you should have knowledge of both pre-sales service and post-sales service quality of the software so that you can choose the right one. So this way Raiseaticket wins from Freshdesk.

Contract Terms and Pricing Model

The pricing we had taken is on yearly basis but the subscription and billing frequency that we have is on monthly basis. I would not want to make any changes to it, it is a seamless process with all the contract terms and we both agreed on it. It should be as per the customer's need.

Scalability
Freshworks Inc
The product they have developed is amazing. They have made different products for emails, tickets, chats & calls as well. It is flexible according to multiple departments. The finance team can use it, the Customer support team is using it, we can use it in call centres, emails etc. We can use these tickets internally as well to create child tickets and assign them to different departments for query resolution.
