Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk Contact Center (Formerly Freshcaller)

In Omnia Salud we have clients all around America, so we needed a platform that could help us call other countries from Argentina. As we used Freshsales, we started using Freshcaller with 3 virtual numbers purchased from the platform. The problem we had was that it wasn't fully integrated with Freshsales or Freshdesk, and this made the daily operations a little bit tedious.
  • Buy virtual numbers.
  • Record Calls.
  • Don't rely on an outstanding internet connection.
  • Integration with their own CRM (Freshsales).
  • Integration with their own Support Platform (Freshdesk).
  • Reviewing the cost of an outgoing call.
  • Record Calls.
  • Making calls from virtual numbers.
  • Have multiple virtual numbers from multiple countries.
  • Making mask calls to Leads in other countries.
  • Very expensive virtual numbers in some countries (colombia for example).
  • Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales), Freshsuccess (formerly Natero), Freshdesk and Freshdesk Messaging (Formerly Freshchat)
Freshdesk Contact Center, when I used it (between 2018 and 2020), had very little interaction with the other platforms in the Freshworks Suite of products. I was very disappointed about this because when you are doing sales calls, it's very important that the call is saved in the CRM. We now use Hubspot, which does not have the chance to buy virtual phones, but the experience within the CRM is much better.

Do you think Freshdesk Contact Center delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did implementation of Freshdesk Contact Center go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Freshdesk Contact Center again?

No

I think it's well suited if you need a virtual number and you do not plan to save this information in your CRM. It's really easy to get it running and then is very simple to use. I think they could improve by integrating better with other platforms, especially the ones in their own suite. And if you need the virtual phone for sales, I would recommend getting a CRM that has the virtual caller integrated within the platform.
