Some of the plans they previously had now have less features, but they do let you have more free agents as a trade off which is fine.

We use Freshdesk to manage our incoming client support requests and balance the ticket servicing throughout our team.

"Great platform!!"

The Freshdesk platform is really great to use for your company, if you don't have time to integrate a Helpdesk platform in your own company. Quick and up to date features. Easy to adjust question base, etc.

Some of our staff members work only once per week, where we need to pay separate licenses for. Not a big deal though.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving user questions for our website. We benefit from the catagorizations we are able to funnel the questions through.

"Amazing Help Desk "
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The UI, it's very user-friendly. I feel like I know how to navigate around the platform and get everything set up to work best in my helpdesk. Also there support is top notch, quick and helpful and does not make me feel stupid for asking simple questions.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Really the only one thing I don't like about is that you can not escalate the ticket to another queue and leave a internal note. Like you have it add a note put if the agent is not apart of the group and needs to add more to it they are not able to unless they are apart of the group. That is the only thing I would update. No matter what group the ticket is in agent can still update notes

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

All our customer support needs. We have it all in one place. We love it better then Zendesk.

"A great upgrade for our help desk. "
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

FreshDesk was our top selection to replace our previous help desk software. We tested ZenDesk, SpiceWorks, FreshDesk, and TeamViewer’s service add-on. We selected FreshDesk. Overall setup is easy. Single-sign-on with Microsoft Azure works well. TeamViewer Remote Desktop integrates easily.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The ticket satisfaction survey isn’t very deep. Difficult to integrate widgets in SharePoint.

What problems is Freshdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

A replacement for Help Desk Authority which was left unsupported after Dell purchased the software. Dell did offer an upgrade to Kace. Kace was significantly more expensive an too complex for our needs.
