I was not part of the orginial implementation.

I lead a re-implementation, which was a nice experience. Utilising the academy, their chatbots and the community I was able to quickly setup the product as desired. I still actively use the community today for improving or adding use cases.
Freshdesk has helped our business to retain customer satisfaction or retention, by freeing up resources from handling customer enquieries over email and messaging platforms - to work strategically and proactively with creating even more value for them. The support need was channeled to Freshdesk, enabling customers to create tickets that could be handled by a dedicated group of resources.

Do you think Freshdesk delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Freshdesk's feature set?

Yes

Did Freshdesk live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Freshdesk go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Freshdesk again?

Yes

It's primarily a ticketing platform. It's not rocket science, but Freshdesk is easy to use, are well supported, have the features you need to get started and allows you to support your customers well.

You can add tons of complexity to this setup, with more channels, products, large agent teams etc etc - and Fresdesk seems to have hit the sweet spot for us in terms of size of company.
