Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We use Freshdesk to manage support inquiries from our users via email, in-app messaging, and Facebook. We also use it to reach out to some of our users via outbound email. Our support inquiries usually include how to use our product, how to use our app, managing the user's account, payments, and other inquiries that need monitoring.
  • Ease of use
  • Automations
  • Reports and analytics
  • Customer service
  • Improving the AI
  • Faster response times
  • Faster resolution times
  • Excellent customer effort survey ratings
Freshdesk was very easy to set up on our own. Whenever we needed help with it, their customer support team was always quick to respond with the right answers all the time.
With the help of ticketing automation, we were able to delegate our redundant ticketing tasks to Freshdesk and focus on our customers. We have a consistently excellent customer effort survey rating.
We initially used HubSpot Service Hub but found it extremely lacking and only appropriate for small businesses. Freshdesk was able to help us manage our tickets prioritization and execute automation that addressed redundant tasks.

We would recommend Freshdesk for small to medium startups as it's very easy to use and isn't as complex as other ticketing platforms. Freshdesk still needs to improve its AI capabilities, particularly how smart its AI is in addressing inquiries on its own.
