Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We utilize Freshdesk for both our IT and Maintenance Helpdesks with online ticketing for employees as well as status dashboards set up that pull from the Freshdesk API. It's been in place for about 5 years now and has been working well, replacing a SpiceWorks system on the IT side and a paper ticketing system on the Maintenance side.

Pros

  • Freshdesk makes it very simple to set up a ticketing system that agents can quickly learn and adapt to.
  • The API works well for integration and building platforms off of it.

Cons

  • The Freshdesk API only provides full data going back 30 days. After that some info is no longer available, which makes dashboarding a bit less useful, but still possible.
  • The API lets us build off of a very simple and easy to use ticketing system and integrate it with our other platforms and systems.
Implementation took all of an hour to set up agents with access, get them logged in, and start managing tickets. This platform is super easy to use, which is one of the reasons we rolled it out to another department in our organization.
Freshdesk is considerably more affordable and simpler to use. KACE took a degree to build out ticket formats how we wanted them, while Freshdesk is basically drag and drop to set up.
