Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

Customer support for clients. Support tickets and knowledge base articles.
  • Companies, and contacts within, great structure.
  • Good automation possibilities for notifications and escalations.
  • Nice touch with the knowledge base articles.
  • Creating custom fields is a bit hard to understand. That should be more clear and have the ability to edit existing fields, as one may need per organization.
  • It would be great to have a notification sent to the admin if a new user is joining the portal. This way, I have to manually check to see if there are new users. I would very much appreciate that feature!
  • Faster resolution times to tickets
  • Faster reporting
I like the product's user-friendliness, even though I haven't explored it 100%. I love the capabilities for raising and managing support tickets, the RBAC model for the agents, as well as the customization capabilities and knowledge base section as a final touch. I have especially seen ROI for the time it takes to manage the tickets, communication, and monthly reports. Reporting capabilities have tremendous worth on their own.
I have not used this feature.
It's simpler and great for start ups and small business.

Product Features. We needed easier reporting, time tracking, notes taking, being able to merge tickets, having a front end system for the end users to open ticket, etc. Freshdesk accomplished that and much more! It saved a lot of time for our managers and consultants.

Freshdesk Implementation

Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - I was the lead on this and trained all people needing to use the systems. Everyone, regardless if from technical or non-technical backgrounds, found the system easy to use.
  • We had some issues assigning Admin of the platform, but it was solved quickly.

No. Regular support is great.

  • Opening tickets.
  • Creating accounts for customers
  • Customizing fields
  • Reporting
  • Some fields cannot be removed and is difficult to set per-customer fields for the support tickets. We need this feature as we have different support and SLAs for different customers.
