Businesses of all sizes across the world trust Freshdesk to provide remarkable customer service.
Businesses in need of service-as-a-software solution for the Communications industry.
Freshdesk is an effective channel for providing great customer services. It helps me managing multiple stores and providing responsive services to my clients.
This means that tickets sometimes get lost, and following a ticket doesn't support me much. Also, tickets can get lost when transferred to another team.
Happy, good support and account management and good value for money compared to other services in the market.
The amount of standard features missing from a standard inbox are really disappointing - such things as being able to send to multiple recipients, saving drafts and the search function.
Applications/Addons are great for customizing. Integrations with other products are fantastic.
See: https://freshdesk.com/helpdesk-features for the real breakdown. Freshdesk has no links to that page, and you'll only get it if you ask about a missing feature in their support portal.
What a good platform that helps solve work problems in addition to concluding agreements, with the ability to collect all important messages, which makes it easy.
Tools is really inefficient and their automation tools are built by people with very little CSX experience. Everything needs to be hacked somehow.
Reporting is excellent and every salesperson can use pretty easily. Support and configuration are easier because of the wealth of knowledge available in the SF community.
I dislike the lack of WYSIWYG editor. Formatting is limited, but more importantly, it is a pain to apply much of it.
This platform is very easy to use and continues to improve with every update. Amazing for sales/recruiting and always has a responsive customer service.
The only thing that is a little bit annoying with the platform is that whenever the cache gets stuck, it fails to load all of my dashboards.
The best, it has really growth throughout the years, we have managed to integrate some tools such as Nice In contact, VRA, and even LucidChart flowcharts. It deploys and works above and beyond.
Overall, their stability seems to have problems at the worst times. There have been several outages regarding email and reporting over the past months.
Amazing tool to receive incoming calls and chats and log interactions. It has improved the way we provide information to a customer and the way we create and resolve incoming tickets.
Sometimes is a little bit confusing on the new front end.
Kayla B.: Hi, my name's Kayla. I am a communication coach, and I work for a small team of seven people, and I would rate Freshdesk a five out of five. Before Freshdesk, we were using a manual just emailing system to get back for customer support to our clients, and we moved to Freshdesk to streamline that customer service process. Freshdesk felt like a pretty obvious solution after hiring some people on the team to work specifically in customer support, and for them it was the obvious solution. They showed it to us, it seemed like a good price, good bang for our buck, and we went with it and it worked great. Freshdesk was super easy to integrate into the system. We had someone that was specialized in customer support to help train us on how to use all the best parts of the software, and it was super easy to just start to delegate certain tasks to the people who had the best knowledge to work on those tickets. And yeah, it was a pretty seamless integration process for our company. If you and your team are considering Freshdesk, then I would recommend just trying a free trial for a little bit with your team. See how easy it is, very simple to use, especially for people who are not very good at tech, which was my case in particular, but I still had to help with customer service from time to time. So do a free trial, see how it works for your team and integrate it if it feels good.
Naga Kiran: I'm Naga Kiran. I'm technical lead working in L&T Infotech. Our company is in technical side. We implement Salesforce technology for many companies. Rating I give for Salesforce Service Cloud is four out of five. Salesforce Service Cloud is used in our company as a ticketing system. Previously, we used to have Legacy ServiceNow ticketing system, but now we have replaced with Salesforce Service Cloud. So, that is where we are using it for now. Salesforce Service Cloud offers us many configuration stuff. You don't want to know program to design like Automated Logic. Instead, you have lot of automation in-built in Salesforce. Salesforce provides that to us, so that we can use in our environment and it will be useful for achieving all the service-related issues. One thing that I like the most about Salesforce Service Cloud is it offers lots of automation, which can be easily... It's point-and-click interaction. You don't want to learn coding also. It's just point-and-click interaction, where you can achieve those automations. For example, you can create different teams. In support system, you require different teams, right? So, you can create different teams and you can measure the quantity, how much days it is staying in the queues. Everything can be done easily in the point-and-click interaction in Salesforce Service Cloud. One thing which I feel bad about Salesforce Service Cloud is the license cost. The license cost feels a little bit more when you compare with the competitors. Second thing is the UI. It is offering us Salesforce Lightning, but still that UI is not up to HTML standards. There, Salesforce can improve a bit.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
