Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

Used as a ticketing system and knowledge base. It allows us to handle issue tracking and create articles used for external support and in our apps.
  • Easy to create tickets quickly.
  • Easy to create articles quickly.
  • Has API integration with pretty much anything.
  • Lots of analytic options.
  • The article editor HTML coding is bad. It adds SPAN tags and other odd formatting randomly.
  • It creates too many separate tickets for one ongoing issue.
  • The support concerning custom coding is limited and the answers given by techs are frustrating.
  • Their own knowledge base is a train wreck when it comes to finding current info.
  • Article category/folders are limited.
  • Not sure. I waste a lot of time reformatting articles in raw HTML.
The time I spend on reformatting articles due to SPAN tag injections and other HTML issues is enormous. You can't copy/paste without breaking the formatting.
Yes, I think in general the knowledge base and ticket system work for external users.
The decision was made before my time. I want to move to another platform ASAP.
