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."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."
"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 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'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."
"Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution."
"Their knowledge base is phenomenal. The way that it learns from our users is awesome, and responses are really awesome as well. It does a pretty good job of picking up what's needed. The knowledge bases are great."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"Provides service level optimization."
"Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users."
"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."
"Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement."
"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 dashboards are useful but could be so much better. As a product manager, and data scientist, we couldn't use the dashboard for analytics and had to move the data in Power BI."
"It should enhance its service and its reporting capabilities."
"I would like on-the-go translation,"
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
