What differentiates Freshdesk from other similar products?
After trying some of the most popular Customer Service help-desk, we decided to stay with Freshdesk due to its simplicity, integration was 1% of the time we used to work with their competitors, any person can integrate Freshdesk, no matter the level of knowledge on the matter. Another decisive point for us was the quality of their support, fast and focused on quick solutions, these guys are always ready to help and fix your problems.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The simplicity
What do you dislike most about this product?
it lacks of analytics, although the reports are still good.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are new into using helpdeks for your customer team, and you have never try integrating your customer emails with your support emails, Freshdesk is the easiest among them all. Trying some of their competitors really consumed my time when trying to control what/how/when auto answers were sent, customize the answer etc. To most of my clients the other Helpdesk option were not good to them either. When using Freshdesk, my clients hardly understand I'm using a third party to get their emails, they receive every email (ticket) as a direct contact email to email, less robot, closer & simpler relationship and comunications.
Pros
- Trustworthy
- Effective Service
- Respectful
- Fair
