Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

The main usage of the tool is for communication with customers. Through FreshDesk the initial contact to customers is conducted. The consulting process starts with the usage of multiple canned forms. After the initial phase, sales and project management are made through FreshDesk. It is useful especially for support issues.
The main problems solved are f.e. communication with a customer across the team, having a customer data base and data insights through the classification of issues. Automation through reply-templates and forms speeds up communciation in many cases.
  • creation of individual ticket templates
  • detailed exports
  • creation of answer templates and canned forms
  • no bugs, rarely any technical issues, great support
  • Options to connect FreshDesk data with other systems, f.e. through APIs
  • more options for automation
  • lot of manual typing, upload of contact data should be possible to create/update multiple contacts at one
  • Resolution time -50 %
  • Time saving -80%
Freshdesk has a clear and easy to handle user interface. The features and structure are easy to grasp and most of them are intuitive, so there is no special training required. Most options are also easy to find and edit. Same goes for increasing the scope of usage.
Yes, as described before time for resolution and/or until first reply could be reduced significantly, which on the other end leads to higher customer satisfaction.
Freshdesk has the broadest scope of features, at least from what is obvious. Integration with Outlook / Emails works better than in some of the products mentioned above. Freshdesk features tools for automation which are required for scaling. Also the user interface is the most easy to handle. It has to be mentioned though, that the products mentioned were used in their charge free plans, while Freshdesk is a paid product.

Freshdesk is good for communicating with customers, receiving and answering support issues and keeping an overview of messages / customers. Freshdesk helps with organizing customer data and with clustering support cases. It is also very flexible and tickets can be created with many options, which can also be exported to work with (e.g. Excel).
For CRM and Project Management there are better tools.
