Freshdesk provides us with a multi-channel platform, combines and organizes all the communications coming from the different channels, so that we can serve our clients through email, telephone, chat, social networks or forums. By automating repetitive processes, we can complete multiple tasks on a ticket with a single click. Smart chatbots are also useful for answering frequently asked questions and directing customers to a solution. We can also track the effectiveness of our staff and your knowledge base through reports and custom dashboards.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Multichannel coverage. Creation and sending of tickets. Automated responses. AI-powered support chatbot. Targeted emails. Performance tracking.

What differentiates Freshdesk from other similar products?

With Freshdesk, we can streamline the sales process to our website visitors and reduce time wasting. It provides us with various information and statistics about conversations, which we can use to track progress and improve.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Its innovative use of technology and its special ability to facilitate business growth and service delivery through simple customer communication channels set it apart. Using this application will not cost you anything extra. Freshdesk's chat widget and automatic messages can be tailored to the aesthetics and tone of any brand. The excellent user interface has greatly improved my productivity.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The software has a steep learning curve, but has very helpful customer service.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We use Freshdesk as an alternative incentive to promote our company, and the resulting pleasant customer connections help us grow quickly. We have mapped out the steps anyone can take to generate and distribute marketing concepts, while connecting them to a solid network infrastructure. Never before have we relied so heavily on communication to spread the word about our offerings. I believe that companies that want to improve their marketing methods would benefit from your emphasis on teamwork and transparent communication.

The best management and collaboration tool

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Freshdesk from other similar products?

When I was working for a company, we utilized Freshdesk to manage support situations from customers who had problems with a wide range of goods. Clients used to submit tickets on Freshdesk when they ran into problems with the implemented products (ERP software, for example) and wanted our help fixing them.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

If you only use one platform for incident management, make it this one. It will provide you with a wealth of useful tools, such as the ability to easily create tickets, track their progress, collaborate with colleagues internally, set and monitor service level agreements, and view real-time information about who is viewing tickets.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Truly, I am unable to recall ever having seen any. It worked well for me, but there was one snag: as a developer, I occasionally needed to transmit code, but Freshdesk's internal security screening prevented me from doing so.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Since I am a happy customer, I have used this app for a long time to deal with client issues. I find it particularly useful since the time I began receiving alerts whenever someone reported or updated an incident that involved me; these notifications allow me to coordinate with my team without alerting the client.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Effective Service
