Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

Simply put, we use FreshDesk because typical email platforms don't get the job done well. When working with hundreds of customers, to get their feedback or resolve an issue, organization of those emails becomes a priority. Setting up some folders in GSuite isn't the best way to get it done. FreshDesk offers canned responses, filters, and categories to organize email inquiries. My favorite part is being able to open an email from a user and see if they have emailed us in the past. It helps to read a little history to better address the current request.
  • Canned Responses. Ready-to-go emails that will serve you better than copy/paste.
  • Organizing emails by priority and topic. I can see what I need to respond to quickly or not.
  • Email due dates. Encouragement to make sure you are replying to users within a reasonable amount of time.
  • Nudge reminders would be nice. Sometimes because of the filters set, emails can get lost.
  • Better U/I to know what profile/filters are able to be made.
If you have more than 100 different users contacting you, you need FreshDesk to stay organized and do your job better. But if you just get 50 emails a week about some things you are working with, creating folders and filters in Gmail should be fine...until you run out of storage ;)
