Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

The software itself is great. The only negative I have about the product is that it is expensive to contractors a daily pass because of how it works. They do contact you for on boarding after you have signed up. Also, they are very responsive in answering questions you have on functionality.

Pros

  • Assisting you with learning the product.
  • The ticketing system workflow is nice.
  • The overall system is useful if need a help desk.
  • Integration with extensions

Cons

  • Pricing. Daily passes for the help desk need to be adjusted. Contractors have to complete work within 24 hours to avoid be charged again.
  • In my industry it is counter productive to purchase daily passes because of the cost. Adding another user seat is expensive so I have to make critical decisions because of it in regards to bringing on help vs workload.
I took the time to go through everything so for me it is a ten, however it may seem overwhelming for someone who thinks they can jump in and get going.
I have only use the automation in terms of the initial ticket creation however, I can see how it can benefit. One thing that I notice is the closing of tickets to customers who don't respond. It gets there attention when they get the notification.
The product is useful, I just didn't find that I actually needed it.
