What differentiates Freshdesk from other similar products?
When the pandemic struck, Freshdesk saved lives. The omnichannel enabled us to instantly support every one of our users even though we had hundreds of students learning remotely. With the Fresh Desk Omnichannel, we have the best seller customer support available. It handles all incoming requests from the phone, chat, and emails by converting them into tickets, then unifies ticket resolution across the board.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
When properly configured, it is simple to use and doesn't require any coding expertise. I adore how adaptable the system is. Teams can be created, and tickets can be assigned based on teams. It sends automated emails when a key is opened, closed, etc., which is convenient. The user interface is straightforward to use. Freshdesk runs exclusively in the cloud. It is simple to incorporate into a website, for instance, to begin a chat with a customer support representative immediately.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Due to a lack of flexibility, some functions do not function as they should or do not provide a comprehensive solution to a problem. I don't like how it isn't current with a CS associate's most recent requirements. The way tickets are handled could be better, and the UI should be cleaner. There is no doubt that reporting has to be updated and improved.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It integrates quickly with a unique domain to provide a consistent user experience. Can speak with clients about their problems without difficulty. The new UI is highly intuitive and straightforward to use. Multiple receivers may be added to receive tickets. When properly configured, it is simple to use and doesn't require any coding expertise.
