Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Atlassian, BMC and others in Help Desk Software."Freshdesk significantly improved our customer issue resolution process. We can now easily record and track all customer requests, ensuring that no tickets are lost."
"The user experience on the platform itself is fantastic. The UI is clean and uncluttered, so it's easy to find any information about your customer or the issue at hand. You can find out the person responsible for that particular issue, what the problem is, who the stakeholders are, and how to resolve it. There are lots of tools that will help you do that as well."
"I like that it's very user-friendly. The way they designed this application, any layperson can just do some drag and drop actions and use it. It's not that difficult. It's also easy to implement. The most important thing is, you don't need to go to this application to create a ticket. You just send out an email, and the ticket is created automatically. I have never seen a feature like this before."
"Freshdesk has allowed us to measure and track the response and resolution time of tickets which has been reduced from seven to eight hours down to 30 minutes to one hour."
"It's free of charge for us. For our scale of business, it's very important. We don't have a lot of tickets."
"We have made use of the training academy and the technical support team from Freshdesk. Both have been very good resources."
"It generated reports for us, which helped us identify the status of requests and the aging of requests."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the way that it connects to various folders especially because we use it as a CRM tool. We can connect it with our phones and our chat, and also with the API and have it as an email service. Freshdesk just makes our life easier."
"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"Sometimes our requirements are not matched with Freshdesk's free version as most of the advanced features are not available to us."
"It should enhance its service and its reporting capabilities."
"There are some restrictions where you need automation and sometimes there is just no way to achieve what you need."
"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."
"We have many cases where a ticket comes in, and it ends up having multiple team members working on it. It would be really nice to be able to assign a single ticket to multiple people, rather than having to create the parent-child hierarchy that they have set up. It generates a proliferation of tickets that I really don't want to have. Having to jump from a parent to one child and then to another child makes it harder for me to be able to see the entire case from end to end. A simple example is our new hire process or our termination process. We have people who leave. We also have people who come on board. We have got multiple people participating and doing things related to the leaving or onboarding process. Currently, I have to go to different tickets to be able to see whether all tasks are really done or not. If I could assign lots of people to one ticket, it would be really nice."
"I would like to see a little bit more color in the solution."
"Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users."
"Having so many tags makes everyday work a lot more complicated, and a lot more time-consuming."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
