Freshdesk: Yes or no for call center?
Freshdesk has been a saviour in terms of contact center management and getting the lines live for support. We needed to have a script clear line for our customers to get the maximum out of the support channels and Freshdesk came to the rescue with an out-of-the-box tool and ease of access.

Freshdesk is Fresh
When we first started using Freshdesk Contact Center, we had a need for a new system that would make it easier for parents to contact our admin. This was at first a trial run, but quickly became a much-needed software that has been fully integrated into our school. This software allows more callers to reach us without the hassle and has helped us reduce the number of parent complaints of not being able to be connected with one of our HR employees.
The platform's ability to record and show 'Canned Responses' is quite useful; it's convenient to have that information readily available, and it doesn't get in the way when you're composing your response. What you need and desire from a customer service center is going to depend on your own situation. If you're on a tight budget but still need anything to get the job done, by all means, give this a shot. You'll be glad you considered switching platforms if you're a rapidly expanding firm.

My customer calls buddy!
Being in sales or customer success, I need to make phone calls daily. Freshcaller is embedded in my CRM - Freshsales which makes it very convenient to make calls, from multiple numbers. It also records the calls if I want to revisit my conversations. It has changed the game for me.

Freshdesk better alone than integrated
In Omnia Salud we have clients all around America, so we needed a platform that could help us call other countries from Argentina. As we used Freshsales, we started using Freshcaller with 3 virtual numbers purchased from the platform. The problem we had was that it wasn't fully integrated with Freshsales or Freshdesk, and this made the daily operations a little bit tedious.

Dropped Calls
We did not have a good experience with FreshCaller so we discontinued use of it within two days. For some reason, it did not work well with our phone system and was constantly disconnecting calls. It was very disruptive to our employees across the enterprise as well as the team who was manning the system.

The Freshest of Callers!
Freshcaller is currently being used in our environment as a call manager for our IT Help Desk. We have a number that users are able to call into for assistance and the next available analyst is able to answer the call and assist with any issues the end-users are experiencing.

Not Recommended - Unless you have FreshDesk and a very small team
Freshcaller was previously used by my organization as part of an add-in feature to FreshDesk, a CRM developed by the parent company FreshWorks. It was primarily utilized by the Customer Support team to route incoming calls to support agents and to generate tickets into our ticket management system for tracking and resolving issues and requests. It was to bring integration of the phone channel into the ticketing system so agents would not have to be relied on to generate tickets for phone calls in a timely manner.

Easy and affordable cloud-based solution
Freshcaller is used by our inside sales and account management team. We recently switched from a hard phone to a softphone and I wanted to use software that gave my analytics on call metrics. It's also helpful that we use FreshSales as our CRM so the integrations there were obviously very smooth.
