What differentiates Freshdesk from other similar products?

Data responses with easy UI smooth clicks. Getting a new client onboard is quick and learning the product is as easy since all options and modules are self-explanatory it's so cool process. Freshdesk makes our daily tasks easier and more efficient. The fact that we can keep track of your report and tickets efficiently with this powerful system makes our job easier. All those points are different from Freshdesk from another similar service provider.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Nice a simple interface, which makes it quick and easy to answer support tickets. The app generally works quite well as well. And then it's the best thing about Desktop is its amazing features to organize the work. It helps us too much for categorizing the tickets based on urgent tasks, which helps us to deal easily with the most important clients. Our team can easily track any particular customers and through a ticketing system, I can easily assist them.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Freshdesk lacks many important features that include collaboration with other social platforms and this is a major issue as I have to switch to another system for responding to my customers’ from my other channels for this single issue I dislike Freshdesk. But it's overall a great system.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Freshdesk is suitable for companies that shouldn't be too variable and harder to configure/manage for successful practice and is convenient to use! It would have the opportunity of being operated by the provider because it is a Web-based Cloud solution so that no systems manager is needed to run and manage this scheme on the database. For all those reasons you can, you can choose it for your organization.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
