Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We use Freshdesk as a customer support interface. It enables us to keep in contact with customers to resolve their issues and offer improved levels of support. We also use it to maintain a knowledgebase of helpful articles for both internal and external training.
We allow collaborators to communicate with other agents while keeping them isolated from direct contact with customers.

Pros

  • Support ticket management
  • Solution article maintenance
  • Ticket automation

Cons

  • Domain name change support. Changing domain names requires a number of steps to switch to alternative product portals.
  • Ticket permissions for collaborators could be improved to allow permissions to be added later without the collaborator needing to be tagged in a note.
  • Overview of permissions to a ticket. It would be helpful to see the agents, collaborators and groups with permissions to a given ticket.
  • The ability to view the tickets per hour, first response time and other statistics helps us to understand agent's workloads.
  • Canned responses, canned forms and ability to insert solution articles save numerous hours of agents time typing replies and requesting information.
Once all of our customers and articles were loaded into Freshdesk it to a very brief period of time to go live with Freshdesk. OUt customers adapted very quickly to it from our previous support ticket system.
We use Freshdesk's email and ticket portal interfaces exclusively so don't utilise the phone or social media integration elements of Freshdesk.
Freshdesk is aimed more for direct customer support tasks.
