Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

Freshdesk has been our helpdesk application for a little over 2 years now and it has been fantastic! The ability to have a custom mailbox server is great for us. What really makes Freshdesk great is the ability to track the amount of Time my Techs spend on Tickets and how that aligns with our SLA. The Analytics portion of Freshdesk is great as well allowing me to create customized reports and have these on a weekly schedule to my email. The Curated reports are also amazing I only had to create 1 custom report. The actual ticket portion is pretty great as well, Easily see all responses in a ticket and the options to have custom fields on the ticket form make it even better in terms of sorting through to find trends that our Specialist might need to tackle.

Pros

  • Analytics
  • Ticketing
  • Option for custom Email server
  • Ticket Workflow/ Ownership

Cons

  • Support can be slow or non responsive at times
  • cant give multiple people credit for ticket resolution
  • unable to award bonus points in the "Arcade" system to an agent who goes above and beyond
  • No Dark Mode available
  • Avg Resolution time is about 3 hours, this is down form our previous system which was an average time of 1 year
  • First Response time is under a minute, it was over a day for a first response
  • Ticket reopen count has gone up but its mostly because of customers responding "Thank you"
Freshdesk took less than an hour to get set up and most of that was due to Office 365 being an issue to get our custom Mailbox set up and connected to Freshdesk.
Our Customers are able to get their ticket routed quickly and efficiently thanks to the automatic ticket assignment and balancing between Technicians and Specialists. This helps get our response times down low and get the ticket resolved within 3 hours usually. Customers are extremely thankful that their ticket gets seen and handled within a timely manner.

Freshdesk does helpdesk ticketing really well. With the use of Time logs I can track Agent time and see how that aligns with SLA. Custom Ticket Fields make it really great for customers to fill out quickly and give Techs the most information quickly. Freshdesk helps keep our helpdesk organized and on task with SLA alerts, automations and Escalation procedures.
