Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

I am the Performance and Reporting Manager and I track and report many metrics to track our performance and quality of customer support delivery. We use FreshDesk as our CRM Ticketing system for Calls, Tickets, and Chats. This product works very well for us. It's very stable and the user interface is easy to teach and understand. I mainly use the Analytics (Reporting) portion of the system. It works very well and sharing reports is easy and can be automated. Even better than the product is the Customer Support. It is world-class and no matter what size your company is, FreshWorks will make you feel important and a high priority. I would recommend them to any company.
  • Sharing Reports
  • Setting agents up and assigning groups
  • Customer Support
  • I think they could do a better job of communicating changes and updates to the platform.
  • I would not have ROI information, but it's worth whatever it costs!
They worked closely with our team to make sure we set up our system in a logical and efficient manner. They new exactly the questions to ask us to help us with the implementation set up. I would recommend their professional team to any company looking for top industry talent and execution.
They have definitely helped increase customer satisfaction. We use FreshDesk for website portal tickets and internal tickets and we convert our incoming calls to tickets manually. We do not currently use the FreshCaller product so unable to comment on that product. Their ticketing system is state of the art and any company can use their rich features.
We don't currently have any other products but we have evaluated caller and chat, but we currently have a solution that is working good for us. We definitely would entertain the entire OMNI-channel approach as this would "un-silo" us from a reporting standpoint, which is a challenge a lot of company's face.

I'm not sure what support we have, but it is WORLD CLASS!
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!

Some of the reports have some tab constraints that limit the number of pages you can create, otherwise it would be a 10!
