Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We use Freshdesk in the IT team as our helpdesk to support the users across our schools. We have multiple helpdesk emails set up for each school to use as well as the Freshdesk user portal for them to open tickets. We currently have 8 members of staff in the IT team using Freshdesk.
  • Super easy to set up
  • Professional looking emails
  • User friendly portal
  • Limited indepth customisation
  • Quite expensive to add customer feedback form
  • Faster resolution times
  • Professional looking responses
  • More reliable support
It was so quick and easy to set up ourselves. We're usually extremely busy with other stuff so don't get much time to set these sorts of things up properly. However, Freshdesk makes it so simple to do that it wasn't a problem for us at all.
Our users have reported that since we moved they've felt it is so much easy to get support from us. Our emails are so much cleaner combined with the online portal for users to check the status of the tickets themselves and reply directly from the website.
We used to use Spiceworks but it was extremely clunky and not very customisable at the time. When we started looking at other options we ended up focusing on Freshdesk, Zendesk and Zoho as they seemed like the best out of all the ones we found. We eventually went with Freshdesk as it seemed so much more user friendly compared to Zendesk and Zoho and felt it fit our needs perfectly.

Freshdesk just works. We moved from Spiceworks over to Freshdesk over 2 years ago and it has dramatically increased our productivity. It was so simple to set up and works so much better than Spiceworks. Freshdesk is so clean and our email responses to our users look so much better compared to the way they used to look with Spiceworks. By far one of the best moves we ever made.
