Pros

“We use Freshdesk for our support operations, and it has helped us resolve and close tickets faster with its advanced features presented in a simple and easy-to-use interface.”
AC

Amarnath C.

Senior software engineer

“Freshdesk makes our customer support operations seamless with its wide range of features such as ticketing, knowledge base management, and command center capabilities, helping teams manage customer interactions more efficiently.”
MP

Manijith P.

Graphics Hardware Engineer

“Freshdesk helped the team manage customer inquiries and internal requests more efficiently through its structured ticketing system, automation features, and clear communication flow.”
JD

Johny D.

CSO and Helpdesk Global Lead

Pros

“It helps to do the case routing assignment and also the issue resolution can be automated, by freeing up agents to get more focus on bigger problems”
SB

Sachita B.

Certification course

“Between the chat functionality, call management, security, use cases for small to large businesses, and its high level of customizability...it's hard to beat this. While it does come at a premium cost, the sky is the limit with what it can do.”

AJ G.

Salesforce Administrator

“I used the platform to organize information, document communications, and ensure timely follow-up on tasks.”
KL

Kate L.

Sales

Cons

“The interface feels cluttered and messy at times, and the workflows can be confusing and difficult to navigate, especially when managing different features and settings.”
KA

Kosana A.

QA Analyst

“It does not provide monthly flexibility, and committed seats cannot be reduced when business needs change.”
FW

Fiodas W.

CS Manager

“Some advanced automations and setting up certain integrations can be a bit complex at first if you don't have a technical background.”
PG

Pablo G.

Customer Support

Cons

“I am not responsible for purchasing software, so I don't know how much Salesforce costs, but that seems to be a barrier within our company for how many people can have accounts, which is my least favorite thing about Salesforce.”
JT

Jeana T.

Executive Director

“If there is any downtime or issues with the system, this effectively brings the customers support requirements to a halt”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Claire E.

Sales manager

“I don't like how it's inefficient in the way it displays information where it's not customizable enough for only focusing on essential info without scrolling and switching tabs.”
