Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Zendesk, Freshworks and others in Knowledge Management Software."The most valuable features of Freshdesk are the automation of tickets to assign them to different agents, and the managing of documents is easy."
"It's free of charge for us. For our scale of business, it's very important. We don't have a lot of tickets."
"Its simplicity is most valuable. It is easy and simple, and it requires negligible training effort. I don't spend all my time goofing around trying to find stuff in the ticketing system."
"There is the option to create different roles for specific users. We make use of groups for each customer service team which has been very effective. We are able to apply different sets of rules for each group which determines how they interact with customers and escalate issues."
"Technical support is outstanding."
"It is quite easy to program custom apps and integrate them."
"Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The ticketing system is smooth, but since we use a free version, we do not have many facilities available."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"I would like to be able to change the subject in emails for ourselves. If we could have the option to do that, it would improve our speed and the overall cleanliness of the CRM."
"For integrations, we need to write code that communicates with their system in order to enable certain functionality in the system. This is a lot of work for their customers."
"Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement."
"There are some restrictions where you need automation and sometimes there is just no way to achieve what you need."
"I would like on-the-go translation,"
"If Freshdesk had forms in it so that I could go to the portal and fill out a service request, that would improve it immensely and make it more valuable for enterprise customers, but that's not a current functionality. You can't have a certain catalog of any type. You can't be like, "Hey, I want to just go submit a ticket," and then type in. You can't prompt them to ask anything. It is just a blank form."
"While it's good for a small number of tickets, definitely in the future, we will require something more powerful."
"I would like to see improvements in the account management aspect, having a customer portal for better visibility into my subscription, invoices, and trouble tickets."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
