Freshdesk Erfahrungen

Das Produkt ist wirklich super einfach zu bedienen und einzurichten. Der Support über den Chat antwortet auch immer innerhalb weniger Minuten und konnte bei jedem Problem eine schnelle Lösung finden - nicht nur für uns als Nutzer, aber auch für unseren Programmierer, der eine Schnittstelle zu unserer Webseite eingerichtet hat. Hier wurde auch die Einfachheit gelobt.

Das einzige negative war, dass die Testumgebung nur beim teuersten Paket enthalten ist.

Dass Freshdesk cloudbasiert ist und leistungsstarke Lösungen bietet

verschiedenste Konversationen von unterschiedlichen Kanälen werden zusammengefasst

Für die Unterstützung bei Interessenten und Kunden ein Top Tool

Bisher keine Nachteile, darum habe ich nicht negatives zu berichten.

With 5 years in business, we started seeing change in our revenues and employee behaviour in the last 2,5 years of using FRESHDESK.

We stopped for sometime thinking maybe we could continue without these tools and a huge gap opened up thus we had to go back to the tried & tested.

Ease of business
Friendly Interface
Work Anywhere (App or Web)

Freshdesk has a wide range of essential services, including live chat, email, phone, and social media support channels. The software is cloud-based and easy to use, with clever automation capabilities that guarantee things are done easily and quickly, resulting in more efficient corporate operations and a better customer experience.

Upgrades to Freshdesk's reporting feature are, in my opinion, overly pricey for individual agents and users. There is a good thing about Freshdesk's free trial plan since it allows us to test out their vast variety of services before making a decision on whether or not to upgrade our business.

help customers solve their issues themselves, makes it easy for them to connect with us via ticketing system and added to it provide all MIS to provide the supporting data to our analysis.

per agent pricing, private ticketing system and advance filters are missing as a feature

That we can logged the ticket via email also and all the feature are in freshdesk only. we didn't purchase any other software for inventory also as we as for remote also. I like the Dashboard also i can see the location wise ticket easily.

I didn't like the Inventory part. why is so messy. When we pull out the inventory is not shown properly lots of data is showing miss match and sometime, we cant even edit the also. please make it simple.

Easy to use, setup the groups based on your departments like operations, CS, Sales , Management, Clearance team etc, very efficient in terms of setting escalation matrix, every call , email or request is important and recorded in system. Management can always get updated upon what going on with customer requests/complaints/inquires

very less option for reporting and integration with other platforms like watsapp, although watsapp FB can be integrated but only can be used within app

FreshDesk is Very user friendly tool which has highly customisable environment.

It could be difficult for MSPs to manage multiple clients on single platform.

Comprehensive solution for customer support, with features including ticketing system, help desk portal, knowledge base, automation and analytics. Features include task creation & assignment, drag & drop organization for easy sorting & prioritization, filter options for quick searches & reports based on current status or due date range and an activity log to monitor user actions within the platform. We can customize the system according to your organizational needsEasy to use with a modern design and intuitive user interface. Extensive integration capabilities allowing you to connect Freshdesk with other business systems like Zendesk and Salesforce. It has a wide range of pricing plans available for businesses at every size or budget. Good customer service – their team is always responsive and helpful in finding solutions to any issue you might encounter.

No major issue found. Limited customization options – while there are plenty of customization options available within the software itself, it’s not possible to add custom code or scripts outside of these settings

As a user of Freshdesk, here are some of the things I would like most about the software:Ease of Use: Freshdesk is user-friendly and easy to navigate, which makes it simple for salespeople to manage customer inquiries and resolve issues.Integration: Freshdesk integrates well with other systems and processes, allowing for seamless and efficient management of customer interactions.Call Monitoring: Freshdesk's call monitoring capabilities provide valuable insights into the performance of customer service operations and allow for continuous improvement.Customer Support: Freshdesk offers excellent customer support, helping users to resolve any issues and maximize the benefits of the software.Reporting and Analytics: Freshdesk provides a range of reporting and analytics tools, allowing users to monitor key metrics and measure the effectiveness of their customer service operations.

As a user of Freshdesk, here are some of the things I would like least about the software:Limited Customization: Freshdesk has limited customization options, which can make it challenging for users to fully personalize the software to meet their unique needs.Steep Learning Curve: Freshdesk can have a steep learning curve, especially for users who are new to customer service software. This can make it difficult for some users to quickly become proficient in using the software.Pricing: Freshdesk's pricing can be relatively high compared to some other customer service software solutions on the market, which can be a concern for businesses operating on a tight budget.

What I love about this software is how flexible and easy it is to use, plus we can integrate it seamlessly with our systems. The user interface and experience are also super user-friendly and if we ever have any issues, their customer support is always reliable and responds to our tickets within 24 hours.

At times, the platform can be a bit slow, and it could benefit from stronger integration with other programs. By taking advantage of Freshdesk's robust reporting and analytics capabilities, teams can monitor support metrics and make data-driven decisions more accurately than ever before.

Freshdesk shows us important integrations to improve the service, such is the case of Jira that allows us to manipulate certain tools from Freshdesk. Ticket categorization is automatic and immediate and then transferred to the appropriate department for immediate response and solution. Freshdesk assigns multiple tickets to teams and allows us to track from start to finish any problem presented by the customer. The escalation of tickets through Freshdesk is totally correct and accurate, there are different levels of support and each one is intended to give you the best experience in terms of response time. They can be moved between departments and it does not differ at all in the final response making it perfect and what the customer is looking for.

Freshdesk lacks a core API to be able to mass extract data from all tickets. Sometimes the response time through the POST API is ridiculously long which in turn generates a delay in responses through the same API. Freshdesk has very limited configuration and customization panels, the widgets must be organized, but only on the left side and with the default width that Freshdesk requires.

Ease of use. Reasonable price. Otherwise, I like the way tickets can be prioritized with SLAs, status, etc. Canned responses and automations are great too.

The automations, despite being very nice, are somewhat limited in terms of what they can do. Sometimes I'd like to go a little further than what they can offer. It's often just little details, but it could make a big difference.

Here are a few basic examples:

1) IF field is empty, THEN send a notification to the user with a message saying that it has to be updated. This is not possible since we can't have an automation triggered by a field being left blank.

2) Only the custom fields with drop down lists can be used as triggers for automations.

Also, I'd like to be able to have the SLA based on the expected first response rather than the expected resolution.

Overall though, it makes my job a lot easier.

FreshDesk is a power and easy to use customer service platform. We use it to manage our customer support ticketing system and measure our response against SLA’s. It meets our expectations in all areas

We use FreshDesk to integrate with our on site ticketing system. We’ve run a series of challenges keeping this running, but besides that advanced feature we have had few issues.

The ease of use, both for the agents as well as the clients is pretty awesome. Being able to pull out detailed reports concerning not only the tickets on the system and their categories and statuses, but also seeing agents' performances makes this product recommendable for me.

The fact that I have to log in twice, once for freshdesk and then again for freshworks, before I can gain access to our freshdesk platform really irks me sometimes. An SSO would go a long way in preventing this. Also, being to integrate with Jira proved unsuccessful for me.

I love the analytics and history log in Freshdesk. Freshdesk tracks agents' productivity through out the day and breaks up this information by the hour. We can also look up who has resolved the most tickets or who sends out immediate responses. All of this information is especially helpful when assigning new tickets because we can see a history of our most efficient employees. Previous tickets can be easily searched by key words, agent, or time frame. When multiple people are working on one project, it really helps to decipher who did what and when!

One thing that I believe can be improved is having a group option to send out an email. It's not common when we have to include multiple people on a ticket but when we do, we have to cc them in the very beginning as opposed to adding "Group A". -- The information still gets everyone on the same page, however it is an additional step on the agent's end.

- Creating, monitoring and finding specific information: EXCELLENT
- User interface is very fresh, intuitive and user friendly
- Keeping track of files was an added feature I didn't expect and was very useful the bigger the tickets became.
- Splitting and Merging tickets is a must for any helpdesk. This software is very intuitive on this feature.
- Mobile App is so easy to use across IOS and Android.
- Reporting Functions are excellent - really think the custom dashboard is a REAL PRO when considering a Helpdesk Software Solution.
- Setup: If your not a tech person, Freshdesk live support is excellent. They have helped me same day on each occasion. Very reliable and efficient, but most of all understand your requirements.

Integrations are getting better with other software platforms but there are no real cons to be mindful of whatsoever with Freshdesk.

I would like to see a better integration with Xero Financial Software.

Freshdesk is built on ITIL framework and very easy to use. It took me a few minutes to figure it out, find all the metrics that we needed and set up. The support and software team are readily available on chat, email and conference call - regardless of need.

Lately I see lots of improvements in the software (like the Field Service Management, Proactive Reach and advance ticketing). Some of the new features have helped us tremendously while others (FSM) has got us thinking on efficiency in our field work.

In improving the system, a few of our favored features are taken off. For instance, with Linked Tickets we are unable to send bulk emails from the Tracker. The alternative is to send bulk emails from the Tickets view or filtered view; this is tedious if one has to select individual tickets which notice is meant for or when there are multiple linked tickets to different trackers.

Also, Email Outreach should have the alternative of selecting contact from Freshdesk instead of uploading a CSV file

The ticket management and SLA tracking have helped us a lot with staying on top of issues. Further, our clients can view all their tickets and where we are with their request, which helps manage client expectations.

Their support does not always communicate crucial changes to the behaviour of the software, which can lead to disruption in the service that you provide to your clients.

Further to that, the integration between Freshdesk and Freschat is good, but your customer's experience will be quite bad as you end up having two widgets for the same thing.

Ease of use, setup, and features.

An added feature would be to be able to search ticket by subject title and then to select many of the results at a time.

There are some persistent that need squashing. For example, when chatting with FW support team, our chat windows frequently come up in foreign languages.

Our support site and FD access has been knocked out several times in the past due to FW blacklisting our IP address.

Wonderful tracking and organization of emails and support issues, with a nice and clean UI, and simple tools to automate many support tasks.

Features listed as included in lower tiers on their pricing page, are not actually included until much higher tiers. See: https://freshdesk.com/helpdesk-features for the real breakdown. Freshdesk has no links to that page, and you'll only get it if you ask about a missing feature in their support portal.

Multi language, great knowledge base, easy to automate a lot of features (multi time zone groups, SLAs and Business hours/holidays support and many more) and available add ins to suit pretty much any requirement. Being on the cloud means we always have access no matter where we are or what we use (Tablet, Phone, laptop, desktop, ...). In the current world wide pandemie reality, all our agents are now working from home and the transition was seamless.

Reporting needs some love, although the basic is there. Freshdesk has recently added Analytics which is great but not that easy to configure so that you get the exact result you want. They are working on improving this. Most of the things I liked less about this software have been improved and quite a few features that we needed have been deployed over the years. We are also in the software development business and we understand that it is impossible to satisfy everyone, customers are really way too creative at times ;-).

The interface clear and navigable, making it simple to switch from our old ticketing system. It's easy to work together on a single ticket, especially with the ability to create Private Notes visible only to agents. Email templates help speed things up, and time-based rules ensure that tickets don't sit idle too often. Also handy are the apps that allow you to expand some of the functionality or customize features.

While the ticketing features are handy, I've recently started delving into the "Solutions", aka knowledgebase. It's easy to format, and gives you some flexibility with HTML. I think we'll be able to leverage it for some very useful tutorials. In the meantime, we have a single page with a picture from The IT Crowd captioned "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Finally, I'd like to give kudos to FreshDesk support. They are very responsive, usually replying within a couple of hours. I don't think we've had a single ticket stay open (waiting for reply) for more than a day. As an example, another organization we support had difficulty getting outgoing email working. FreshDesk's DKIM service wasn't functioning properly, making it impossible for them to send mail from the tool. They identified the issue quickly, and were able to address the underlying technical issues in a satisfactory timeframe. Overall we haven't had many problems, but where we've had them, they got fixed or explained to our satisfaction.

Unfortunately, some of the explanations from support have been "That's available in a higher price bracket." We're on the "Blossom" level, the first paid tier, and some features that we'd find useful are only available in higher tiers that are cost-prohibitive for our two-person team. It'd be nice to have an a la carte menu to be able to add a few features for a few dollars, rather than nearly doubling our cost. Still, those features are "nice to have", not necessary, and we are functioning quite well despite their absence. I can definitely see how larger teams would benefit from them though, so I don't begrudge the tiers' mere existence.

There are a couple of weird things about the Solutions builder. I wish it was more of a "what you see is what you get" tool, though you do have the ability to preview your drafts before publishing the page. For example, I wanted include some footnotes, using superscript numbers in the text for indexing. This wasn't in the available formatting options, so I used the [much-appreciated] HTML editor. The problem is, the numbers continue to appear as plain text in the standard editor, and only appear as superscript in the preview (and of course the published page). This makes proofing cumbersome.

I can confidently state that Freshdesk is one of the best customer support software on the market. I had no trouble establishing my account and using the tool because of the user-friendly interface. I was able to keep up with requests coming in from email, the web, phone, chat, and social media from a single location thanks to the omnichannel capabilities. With the powerful automations, I was able to automate repetitive tasks, which increased my productivity and allowed me to concentrate on providing high-quality customer support.I was also able to do more with the software thanks to Freshdesk's integration with over 500 apps from the Freshdesk marketplace, such as Salesforce, Jira, WordPress, and Shopify, which ultimately enhanced my customer support capabilities. Lastly, Freshdesk's round-the-clock support ensured that my customer service remained top-notch by providing me with the assistance I required at any time.

Freshdesk is an excellent customer support software, but it does not come without its drawbacks. The software's limited reporting capabilities are one of its major drawbacks. Even though the tool has some options for reporting, the depth of the reports isn't always what I want. The pricing structure of Freshdesk is another drawback. Despite being less expensive than some other customer support software, the price tag can still add up for larger organizations or teams. Additionally, the more expensive plans can only take advantage of some advanced features that are beneficial to large businesses.
