Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

Freshdesk allows us to have an all-in-one Digital presence for our customers. We use Freshdesk Omni Channel to support our customers via tickets, telephone, live chat and chatbot. It lets us have a wide view on customer experience at every touchpoint.
  • Intuitive, fast and easy UI
  • Great ticketing and telephony system
  • Easy setup
  • Reporting
  • Lack of customization compared to Salesforce
  • Limited functionality
  • ROI
  • First response and resolution times improved by 40%
  • Customer satisfaction increased by 60%
Everything is easy to set up and use, even without any help. In terms of the integrations and a little more technical integration, the sales team promises to do everything you ask, but in reality, most things won't be achieved.
AI is limited, although it is helpful. The satisfaction rate increased by 40% for tickets.

Freshdesk suits small, medium - large businesses where the company wants to provide excellent customer support at their contact centre. It is a great platform to combine tickets, calls, live chat and chatbot into a single platform. It is lightning-fast and offers a fresh, neat UI. The areas of improvement are reporting and analytics and more customization in terms of changing the layouts of the tickets page like Salesforce. Automations are a great option to enhance the system but are limited and miss very simple options/features. It was particularly difficult for us to create Nicknames for agents and show them in the signatures. The support could not come up with any idea.

Freshdesk has a great User Experience both for agents and admins. It is easy to use. Everything loads fast and in a single window. I wish it had tabs inside a page like Salesforce to open multiple tickets, reports in one page.
