Freshdesk is critical to supporting our users professionally
Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk
Presearch is a privacy focused search engine (no tracking of user activity or collecting of user data - much different than Google, etc.). We allow users to earn rewards for searching. We have a decentralized infrastructure with community members providing computers to do the searches. These people are also rewarded. We use Freshdesk for handling user support. We receive support requests related to the quality of the search results, issues with ads on the search engine, the user interface, rewards for users, rewards for the decentralized community computers, the search user account pages and the community members account pages. Freshdesk is invaluable for tracking all of the different types of requests, providing initial responses, prioritizing requests, managing our responses and providing statistics for our users and for management.
Pros
- Tracks all support requests
- Manages the entire interaction process between support personnel and the users
- Provides history of all interactions
Cons
- Hard for new support personnel to learn the nuances of the system
- Better ability to link related support requests together for analysis of trends
- Tools to track fraudulent users (spammer, hijackers, etc.)
- Reduced the number of support personnel required
- Allows requests not to be lost (reducing upset users)
- Helps new support personnel understand common issues
Freshdesk has definitely helped customer satisfaction and retention since we are much more responsive and more accurate in those responses than in the past since the details of an issue are well organized. We have not yet utilized any of the AI features of the platform, though this is something we are looking at for the future. There is a little pushback from some on the team, but we will work through this.
Far more straightforward than Salesforce which has too many features and modules and is very hard to navigate, making it too complicated for our organization. Similarly for Zoho, but not nearly as bad as Salesforce. Zendesk, for us, is quite similar to Freshdesk. The key reason we selected Freshdesk was the price point at the time. I am not sure how they stack up today on price and features.
