We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The UI is easy to use.""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 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.""Freshdesk significantly improved our customer issue resolution process. We can now easily record and track all customer requests, ensuring that no tickets are lost.""It is very easy to make reports.""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.""It is quite easy to program custom apps and integrate them."

"The solution is easy to learn.""Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities.""It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it.""Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally.""The solution changes the way clients work to make it easier and faster.""The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules.""Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice."

Cons
"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.""Sometimes our requirements are not matched with Freshdesk's free version as most of the advanced features are not available to us.""Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users.""Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement.""Having so many tags makes everyday work a lot more complicated, and a lot more time-consuming.""While it's good for a small number of tickets, definitely in the future, we will require something more powerful.""There are some restrictions where you need automation and sometimes there is just no way to achieve what you need.""The reporting, analysis modules and insights capabilities for this solution could be improved."

More Freshdesk Cons →

"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly.""There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles.""The user experience has to be much better.""We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product.""Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation.""The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application.""The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan.""One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It was definitely not expensive. It was two grand or maybe three grand total for a year. It has just straight and simple standard licensing fees. There is no additional fee."
  • "The price could be better, but it's okay. Compared to ServiceNow and JIRA, Freshworks offers a competitive price. There are also additional licensing costs because you need Microsoft Outlook. Each new email account costs around $15 to $19."
  • "The best system plan is enterprise. It costs basically 79 Euros per agent per month when it's billed annually and 95 Euros per agent per month when it's billed monthly."
  • "We use a licensing model only so we pay for the number of agents we have configured in the system only."
  • "Freshdesk was the best solution with the best price. It was cost efficient and included all the features that we needed."
  • "We use a combination of Freshdesk, Freshservice, and Freshchat. We use the whole suite. Weirdly enough, we pay more for Freshdesk than we do for Freshservice. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing. You can get different bundles, and you can always move to different plans that are standard. Freshservice can go anywhere from $19 up to $120 per agent, per month. There is such a wide range, and it is very customizable to your needs."
  • "It is costly."
  • "The pricing is pretty manageable and acceptable."

  • "Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
  • "Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
  • "There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
  • "The product has average pricing."
  • "Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
  • "The tool is reasonably priced."

    Overview

    Freshdesk is a cloud-based customer support solution that provides organizations with the features necessary to effectively streamline their support processes. This includes powerful multichannel capability, integrated game mechanics, smart automations, and more.

    The solution is designed to automate agent workflows and resolve routine questions using AI and bots. Freshdesk allows managers to prioritize, categorize, and assign tickets to their agents, making it easy for them to collaborate and quickly respond to customers. 

    Freshdesk Features and Benefits

    Some of the solution's top features and benefits include:

    • Simplified ticketing: With Freshdesk, you can easily prioritize, manage, and assign trackable tickets. The management system ensures that multiple agents don’t work on the same ticket by accident. You can easily set deadlines for ticket resolution based on specific categories and create custom statuses that suit your workflow to identify what stage a ticket is in.
    • Automation: Automatically assign tickets to agents and groups based on keywords and requests and set up automated repeated actions and provide quick, consistent responses to common questions using pre-formatted replies. In addition, you can choose to prevent the reopening of tickets when customers reply with a thank you.
    • Improved collaboration: Share tickets with other teams while retaining full visibility into the progress being made on the issue. Related tickets can be linked together to better keep track of the big picture. Tickets can also be split into smaller child tickets and assigned to multiple agents to help resolve complex, multi-stage issues.
    • Build up your knowledge base: Create effective support documentation by enabling agents to convert their ticket replies into knowledge base articles, while they reply.
    • Metrics and reporting: See how different agents and groups are performing by viewing various help desk metrics and improve performance by identifying problems based on insights.

      With Freshdesk’s reporting tools, you can schedule the periodic delivery of out-of-the-box and custom reports to your inbox. The solution’s customer satisfaction reports provide you with feedback on how your customers rate your support.
    • Forum moderation: Set up moderation workflows to ensure that forum posts that violate your guidelines are not immediately published. Critical issues raised in the community are automatically converted into tickets to ensure they get the required response.

    • Integration: Freshdesk’s open API can be used to integrate the solution with multiple  third-party systems. 
    • Comprehensive security: Freshdesk’s security features allow you to:

      • Set custom access permissions for agents.
      • Perform comprehensive audits of networks and systems.
      • Secure your own support domain or vanity URL with custom SSL certificates.
      • Whitelist IP ranges and restrict login access outside of work, or link IP whitelisting to a VPN.
      • Set up SSO scripts for credential authentication.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Freshdesk stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its effective ticketing system and its intuitive interface.

    Deepak B., an application manager, writes, “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. This information is valuable for board meetings.”

    Deliver efficient service outcomes at scale when and where customers engage. Oracle Fusion Service is a unified platform of apps, data, and capabilities enabling effortless self-service, agent-assisted service, and field service workflows tailored to your industry and use case.
