Freshdesk Helps Us Stay Organized and Responsive
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk makes it very easy to manage and track customer inquiries in one centralized place. The ticketing system is straightforward, user-friendly, and helps ensure nothing slips through the cracks. I also like how it allows for collaboration across the team, with the ability to assign, categorize, and prioritize tickets quickly. The reporting features provide clear visibility into response times and resolution trends, which is helpful for identifying areas of improvement. Overall, it keeps our customer support organized and efficient
What do you dislike about the product?
One challenge we’ve experienced is with email threads. If a message comes in as part of a thread, we often have to forward it rather than being able to simply “reply all.” Additionally, when replying, we can only respond directly to the person who sent or forwarded the email, and we don’t have the option to remove them from the conversation. This creates extra steps and limits flexibility in managing communications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Freshdesk to manage our refund request tickets and customer service inquiries. Having everything organized in one system allows us to track, prioritize, and resolve issues more efficiently. It helps ensure requests are handled in a timely manner, improves accountability across the team, and provides visibility into the status of each case. This ultimately benefits both our staff, by keeping workflows streamlined, and our customers, by ensuring they receive faster, more consistent support.
Does what it says on the box
What do you like best about the product?
Freshdesk delivers on its core value, ticketing. It has all the most obvious and required features that a ticketing system needs to operate effectively and it handles these functions in a cost effective and efficient manner.
We're not going to speak to advanced capabilities like AI automation etc., these are great but ultimately a help desk solution needs to get the basics right and Freshdesk does just that and more.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way Freshworks products in general are integrated. It is incredibly confusing to build up a suite of products across "Sales", "Desk" and "Chat". The products have been rebalanced according to which features belong where and it is now quite difficult to integrate omnichannel capabilities across sales and service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ticketing. No matter how you want to slice it or define it, customers reach out to you with queries.
These get converted into tickets, get routed to the right people, get categorised and get tracked.
Simple, basic and very effective.
