Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We use Freshdesk for both our Customer Support team and our Finance team. We are pretty advanced users with lots of automation and custom code. We use Freshdesk for Tickets, chats, calls, and for the bot. We also occasionally use it to send emails. We do a lot of data analytics and the Freshdesk stats are exported to be a part of that.
  • Free tier
  • Customization
  • Simple Basics
  • Customer Support inconsistency
  • Features locked behind paywalls
  • Data analytics
  • Open APIS
  • We have been able to increase our CSATS by using Freshdesk
Easy start up, but some advanced things aren't as easy as they could do. Sometimes Freshdesk support is a little unwilling to provide advanced support.
They aren't as well connected as we'd like, but they do connect at least a little bit. We have some stuff set up so the chat to ticket handoff is pretty smooth.
It is easier to start with, but less robust overall. Freshdesk has a better free tier, and had some advanced customization capabilities. Zendesk is easier to get to an advanced level with, has more and better integrations, and has a better data tool. HubSpot is comparable to Freshdesk, it can even feel less robust at times, but it is better integrated with the rest of the HubSpot suite.

Did implementation of Freshdesk go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Freshdesk again?

Yes

I think Freshdesk is better for smaller companies looking for a low cost value product. It isn't as nice as some of it's competitors at the high end, but it gets the job done, especially at the lower end. There are some advanced things you can do in Freshdesk, but some things are more difficult than they have to be.
