Pros

Freshdesk provides an unrivalled ability to stay on top of client support and issue management. This tool is so far the best in class at supporting our needs in supporting our client base.
It helps me solve customers' inquiry and the best benefit that comes from Freshdesk is it's free. Compared to other paid helpdesks, Freshdesk could still really be worth it.
Overall, Freshdesk is an awesome solution for a tedious task. I recommend it to all my friends in the industry.

Pros

Edesk live chat support super helpful. SENSITIVE CONTENT] walked me through everything and was quick to help thank you so much.
So far, the team finds it great to use. I just had a great interaction with Aine on their Customer Support team, She was very responsive and quickly helped me solve the issue with our account.
Overall a good value product. Price has increased recently which was quite big but in general a very good product as helps us combine emails from all our sales channels.

Cons

We had a lot of employees that would leave and come back, and if you archived the user, it was a bit of an odd way to get them back into the platform, it's doable, just awkward.
Worse, there is no way to discover this until after you've paid and spent time getting everything set up.
I had to ask for a lot of assistance and spent some time fixing mistakes I have made that could have been easily avoided with a bit more training.

Cons

Poor chat widget - we chose to use a different provider for this functionality which is a shame as it is not all under one hood.
Overall it is a terrible site that took away all of the functionality that it previously had. They claim that it is six times faster to answer emails, but it takes twice as long.
It reformats your snippets in messages to add extra spaces that need to be taken out every time. It is all ridiculous, especially because it USED to work.
