Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

I use FD to effectively and efficiently segregate inquiries according to the service groups they fall in. I've personalized FD for a more customer-focused approach. As the company grows, so make customer inquiries via email. FD provides a good platform that helps us respond and provide suggestions/solutions in a systematic and timely way.
  • Agent-level UI personalization.
  • Dynamic search capability.
  • Canned Responses.
  • Further personalization of the UI.
  • Native dark mode.
  • It would be more ok if FD scales well on higher resolution screens (1440p or higher).
  • Faster resolution time.
  • Good value for money given the tiered features it has.
Freshdesk provides a platform that is intuitive and highly customizable. There are still areas to improve on, but in general, it does a good job of helping its user have an organized view of customer records and offers the user various built-in tools at a glance. The UI is a bit bulky, especially for relatively smaller screens (laptops).
Definitely, Freshdesk helps me answer customer inquiries quickly, and this results in higher customer satisfaction and retention. We only use email as our means of customer support, yet thru Freshdesk, such a non-voice communication platform allows us to connect with customers on a more personal level. Freshdesk's ticketing system makes doing our roles more systematic and efficient.

Did Freshdesk live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Freshdesk go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Freshdesk again?

Yes

Suited: Customer support emails, FOH, and BOH roles are areas where FD performs very well. It provides a tailored experience, especially when more than one support agent gets to handle a customer. Less appropriate: FD forums are a bit outdated since the knowledge base offers a more easily digestible source of information.
