I received Good Support when the Admin of the Freshdesk account left the company that I work for. To get the access of Admin, need to go through some verification process but the support was good.

Yes, just recently, we had a question about a filter in the reporting widget. Support was very fast getting back to us with the information we needed to solve our issue. They have some of the best customer support I have ever encountered, and I have been doing customer support my entire career!

The action that prompted my review of Freshdesk was in fact related to support: we had a problem with the embedded support form on our website, problem that required modifying an account setting in the backend. As these things tend to happen, this was on a Sunday; I sent a support ticket, it was solved within 7 minutes (I could tell by the test ticket that was sent) and I received a reply in 13 minutes.

Granted, not all our support interactions were like this, sometimes we had to wait for a few hours, sometimes even until the next day, but this particular ticket was absolutely heroic: Freshdesk support took less than 15 minutes for a reply and resolution on a Sunday...

We were having an issue that we weren’t sure how to explain so we emailed their support team. They understood exactly what we meant even if our explanation of the issue was admittedly confusing and lacking in details. The explanation to the issue was given to us in a simplified manner and that turnaround time for the resolution was much faster than we initially anticipated.

The time when Freshdesk provided exceptional support are:
- Their technical customer support helped us at 1:00 AM midnight with the issue we were facing.
- They helped us a lot in configuring the tool when we were new to their system.
- They helped us with the Vendor for app development according to our needs.
- They also helped us with the competitive pricing from other vendors.
- If you forget the request you raise they take a follow-up from their end with you.
