Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

The Freshdesk platform, part of the Freshworks suite, was used for incoming support tickets and emails as well as for sending outgoing emails to customers. Incoming tickets were sorted by priority and we were then assigned to the correct team for processing and responding appropriately. They could also be escalated to senior management if required.
  • Triaging ticket priority
  • Assigning tickets tothe appropriate teams and individuals
  • The ability to save and use Canned responses for frequently asked questions
  • Lots of filtering options to find tickets
  • A lot of the preset filtering options weren't useful however, the custom options you could set were perfect
  • It would be useful to have an option for marking tickets as spam
  • Faster resolution times for customer support queries
  • One omnichannel platform for managing multiple message inputs
While I wasn't involved with the implementation of the product, it seemed to be up and running very swiftly. There were no unexpected delays with setting up Freshdesk.
Being able to receive all incoming emails, support tickets, and Facebook messages in one place was great for ensuring customers were responded to in a timely manner. From the customer feedback survey results, it was clear that this product, combined with good customer service from the team members answering queries, improved customer satisfaction.
I wasn't involved in the decision process as to which was used however, from experience with contacting both companies for help, the Freshdesk support team is 10x better than Agile CRMs

Would you buy Freshdesk again?

Yes

Freshdesk was useful for managing the business's incoming support tickets and emails. If you have multiple teams, e.g. customer support, marketing, management, etc., It is useful to be able to allocate incoming correspondence accordingly. Anytime that support was required from Fresh works, they were very prompt and helpful.
