Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use & very helpful for productivity. I like it because it saves time and works smoothly even on basic tasks.
  • Efficient with ticketing issuance to streamline the service delivery. The templates are a great with ease of customization. Simple, robust and intuitive.
  • Good looking, smooth working and highly adaptable. Works like a charm! The app is responsive on the desktop and mobile app.
  • It is good in terms of resolving queries for service provider companies of mid level. Assign your queries, reply and resolve.
  • One feature that I really liked about Freshdesk Chat is that the platform has an automated system for the management and creation of new support tickets, since every time a customer accesses this live chat and there is no agent available to assist them , the customer can always fill out a form to create a new ticket along with their contact information, Freshdesk automatically generates a new ticket number with all the customer information and stores it in the cloud. Freshdesk also allows you to add roles, manage tickets for each agent and thus reduce the time it takes to answer these tickets, in addition, it allows you to add automated responses and add automated emails depending on the requirement. New ticket escalations can also be created, to add investigations to specific tickets.

Cons

  • Some features can be improved, especially for users who need more advanced options.
  • Excellent templates with customization to suite users needs.
  • Until now, nothing. Ok, the price is a bit high bit worth it Maybe an integration of the articles in WordPress blog.
  • There are a few automation with cannot be done in Freshdesk and it doesn't seem quite optimised.
  • Integrating this platform for the first time within a website is quite a complicated process, you have to set up automated responses, set up chat integration on the home page and on other web pages, and many other settings that make the process to implement this software is complex. Another negative aspect is that Freshdesk Chat does not allow you to send such large files through live chat, there is a limit on the number of files that customers can send through this chat and also administrators, also you cannot send images in such a resolution high, which somewhat limits the sharing of information through this chat.
