Freshdesk Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Director, Portfolio Projects at Microland Limited3.5I primarily work with ServiceNow, but we've integrated Freshdesk in a few cases. While Freshdesk is stable and intuitive for small businesses, ServiceNow offers better scalability, customization, and integration for large enterprises, making it our preferred platform.
Project Manager at Yohanna4.0I've used Freshdesk for five years as a reliable, user-friendly ticketing platform with strong automation, analytics, and live chat tools, though it could improve with custom dashboards and higher API limits to enhance flexibility.
Customer Success Manager at Mimshackworks Endeavors4.5I've found Freshdesk easy to use, reliable, and effective for managing customer support, with a smooth UI and strong ticketing features. Though more AI integration would help, overall it’s been a valuable and efficient tool in my work.
Project Engineer at IT Solution4.5I use Freshdesk to auto-create and assign IT tickets from support emails, with helpful notifications and reporting. It’s stable, scalable, easy to learn, and speeds resolution while reducing workload. I want inventory/device tracking. Good pricing; I rate it 9/10.
Head Advisor Infrastructure Cloud Architect at Adrienutech4.5I use Freshdesk for internal IT support and external customer service, appreciating its automation, Slack integration, and scalability, though I wish it supported more cloud platforms like Azure or Huawei for broader deployment options.
Head Of Product & Engineering (Cpto) at a real estate/law firm with 11-50 employees4.0I use Freshdesk for customer support, valuing AI Copilot Freddy and improved customer relations. It's stable with good ROI, but complex reporting, analytics, deep settings, and scalability need improvement.
Solutions Architect at SHI India4.0I've used Freshdesk for years, mainly for ITSM and CRM implementations. It's user-friendly and feature-rich, though billing issues and support could improve. I prefer it over other tools for simpler setups and rate it an 8 out of 10.
NOC SOC ANALYST at SAVIC Inc.3.5I've used Freshdesk for a year and find it user-friendly for assigning tickets, though it occasionally has server issues and duplicate ticket problems; support is generally good, but response times could be more consistent.
Works at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees3.5I use Freshdesk with Site24x7 to streamline ticketing from system alerts, which has significantly improved our response time and team efficiency, though I feel usability and pricing could be better; overall, it's a solid solution.
VP - Technology and Solutions at Ninth Dimension IT Solutions (P) Ltd4.0We use Freshdesk for ticket management, benefiting from its auto-assignment, resolution details for knowledge base creation, and cost-tracking timer feature. Some features, like SMS integration, are limited by company size. We chose Freshdesk over Datadog and ManageEngine.
