Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk
We wanted to follow up on questions from users in a more modern way. Before we used an internal database, so we lost a lot of time copy/pasting info from mails into records and there was no good way to follow-up on them. There also was no possibility to get any statistics.
Freshdesk allows us to have a streamlines process for the typical requests (access to eOLF, the application to file patent applications; or access to MyPage to review a portfolio or make payments) or for generic questions.

- just sending an e-mail opens a ticket
- attachments can easily be added to 'canned responses' (standard letters)
- easy to get statistics
- feedback can be easily asked after the ticket has been resolved
- creating canned responses takes time since copying a word document always gives some errors in the layout, which needs to be corrected a bit with trial and error
- once the name has been fixed of your site, it is hard to change it (a migration process needs to be agreed to copy the tickets, but portal info cannot be copied)
- reduced time to log items
- definition of SLA's depending on the type of request
- statistics
We do not use omnichannel customer support.
We set up test instances of Zendesk, Zoho Desk, UVdesk, Freshdesk and trakdesk and asked our agents to evaluate the products themselves. It was very clear to all that Freshdesk was the more user-friendly, easy-to-set-up and more innovative solution. In the meantime we are very happy we made this choice since it seems Freshdesk is still in the leading position today. It just works !
