Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We use Freshdesk for two different Customer Service related uses.

1. Orders from our WooCommerce install get piped to Freshdesk for archival purposes (there is some info that doesn't appear elsewhere for those without access to Woo's Admin side.

2. All Customer Service inquiries. Again for archival purposes.
  • Easy to search
  • Easy to setup basic autoresponders or ticket modifications
  • Easy to do basic training
  • Tying together multiple responses on the same ticket
  • The screen UI flow can be improved
  • Since we have the Sprout (or Free) version - 100% ROI
  • It has come in very handy for our Distribution Center (see previous comment about info that can't be see w/o Admin privileges on Woo).
  • We have multiple people doing Customer Service and now there is one place to see what's transpired.
None - they were the go-to Company.
We have a few FAQ's published, but are not using this sub-system.
While we disabled auto-responder's at the moment, engagement with our customers is excellent.
As I said, we archive all the order confirmations from Woo, which makes it extremely easy to look up prior orders for both the customer service staff and the distribution center staff.
Obviously suited for company-wide archival of emails, Customer Service/Help Desk. As far as unsuited, I haven't come across a situation that I wasn't able to get FreshDesk to contribute to the answer.
