Product Features. We needed easier reporting, time tracking, notes taking, being able to merge tickets, having a front end system for the end users to open ticket, etc. Freshdesk accomplished that and much more! It saved a lot of time for our managers and consultants.

The most important factor for us was the features that Freshdesk has. Our platform had to have automation features and excellent ticket management features because we were envisioning growth in the coming months then. Price wasn’t really a big issue but we also wanted to save where we can. We were set to review 2 more against HubSpot but decided immediately on Freshdesk after a one-month dry run.

Product features were the main factor in our decision, however, it is the mix of product features at the price point they were giving. We had tested with One direct & Zendesk but they do not provide the features Freshdesk provides. Also, the tool usability is far better than the other tools we have tested for our use.

The key factor when reviewing options was to find a support tool for a reasonable price that enabled us to manage our customers efficiently, while looking professional.
