Find out in this report how the two Help Desk Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have made use of the training academy and the technical support team from Freshdesk. Both have been very good resources."
"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."
"The organization that is possible with other departments is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"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."
"It's easy to use and integrates with other tools. We can embed Jira into it, link Jira tickets with Freshdesk tickets, and use it for our knowledge base."
"Freshdesk significantly improved our customer issue resolution process. We can now easily record and track all customer requests, ensuring that no tickets are lost."
"Technical support is outstanding."
"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"There aren't any features that we want to enhance, but we need to mature in our usage of some of them. I can't say any feature is missing or needs improvement, but a tool's built-in features need to evolve customer feedback. We have a dialogue set up for that kind of feedback."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users."
"I would like on-the-go translation,"
"Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement."
"The reporting, analysis modules and insights capabilities for this solution could be improved."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
