Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We use Freshdesk, freshcaller and freshchat to communicate with and track user interactions and sales through the desk ticketing system. Furthermore, we use freshchat campaigns to promote one of our product categories.
  • Their customer support is really good - quick to respond and generally helpful.
  • User interfaces are complex at times and performance is clunky.
  • The license system can get really expensive for several users and a nightmare for smaller companies that do not always need multiple agents.
  • Unsure on the numbers - but it has definitely improved the customer request tracking process much faster and easier.
Implementation is generally easy and instructions are provided. Support is available when necessary.
We are currently looking to move to other services due to the prohibitive nature of Freshdesk's licenses & the overall cost associated with it. So far, we have looked at Zoho,which currently provides similar services for a lower price.

Would you buy Freshdesk again?

- Freshdesk has proved to be a good service for creating and tracking tickets, working well with other technologies like Zapier to make form processing & ticket generation seamless.
- Great for integrating chat and call with ticket creation for later reference.
- Allows setting up of automated workflows on designated triggers - this means that a lot of communication and administrative work can be handled automatically.
