We performed a comparison between Freshdesk and JIRA Service Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It is quite easy to program custom apps and integrate them."
"We have made use of the training academy and the technical support team from Freshdesk. Both have been very good resources."
"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."
"The ticketing system is smooth, but since we use a free version, we do not have many facilities available."
"It is very easy to make reports."
"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."
"Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution."
"Technical support is outstanding."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"The platform is easy to use."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."
"One of the best things about JIRA is that it searches for answers while questions are being typed so some tickets do not need to be submitted."
"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
"It would be helpful to pull reports or schedule them based on agents, users, ticket numbers, or responses."
"Having so many tags makes everyday work a lot more complicated, and a lot more time-consuming."
"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."
"Freshdesk could improve its capabilities. It's missing the article formatting, and the overall look and feel make it not easy to use. The administration instructions on how to manage the automation, capability, and integration with third parties, such as chat or bots, are very important in these types of solutions."
"I would like to see a little bit more color in the solution."
"There are a few things we have asked for, like a forward button. When a ticket comes in, we forward it, but it doesn't sync up with the forward. That is the one they have to rework. The other is when we forward the ticket, it doesn't go all, or certain things don't go with it. We have told them about it, and they are working on it. It would be better if they gave us a more standard reporting template. Although they already have some, many aren't usable. It would be easier if we had more templates to work with."
"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."
"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."
"The product could improve its asset management."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
"I think the performance can be better."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users."
