    Freshdesk makes work easier

    Date: Mar 17 2021
    Summary

    We were able to have different functionalities in the same platform and therefore manage our company in a centralized way. It allows us to visualize in the main section the ongoing conversations with our customers where they are connected to an available artificial intelligence agent that responds immediately and in an orderly manner.

    Positive

    Freshdesk is a platform that allows us to provide support in case of doubts, inconveniences and problems through comprehensive messaging for customer service, focused on the service for mobile devices, thus facilitating communication with our advisors and optimizing the loyalty of our customers. Freshdesk offers many communication management for customer service, which becomes more efficient and easier to get, meet and satisfy the needs of our customers.

    Negative

    The interface could use an update to be more compact and show more information on a single screen. The search filter fails many times. The filter must be configured and it does indeed perform the search, but it does not save the parameters on a first attempt.

    Freshdesk guides us better in dealing with customers

    Date: Apr 01 2021
    Summary

    Freshdesk is a useful software for large call centers. In our case it was very useful, but we felt that we could exploit it even more if our company grew. Its reports are professional enough to be able to provide information from different channels and support sessions in a single temporary file.

    Positive

    Freshdesk's design automates the communication that is maintained with customers who contact us through e-mails, from the ticketing system of our online page, to a general platform where we can segment and store messages in an orderly fashion, depending on the type of problem they present.

    Negative

    If you are going to work with roles, Freshdesk does not show a sufficiently adequate performance, and the automatic response system does not show enough intelligence so that the answers it sends are sufficiently complete, forcing us to choose to answer the requests manually from the first moment.

    Customr Engagemet Desk

    Date: Jul 28 2020
    Summary

    Freshdesk is very innovative software designed for Customer support helpdesk. It is very customisable in terms of categorisation, automation, routing of tickets. Which saves a lot time of assigning and categorisation of tickets. I have created multiple service level agreement policies, which assign the due time automatically to close the tickets based on the predefined policy. It creates tickets in automation for every call and chats and can be used in future for reference. Freshdesk helps us a lot to efficiently manage and resolve the customer issues.

    Positive

    Freshdesk is engagement oriented CEC. Which helped us achieve our record fast settlement and tracking of issues of our customers. It is one of the most filtered software available for customer support desk. It supports forced SLA policy implementations based on set up policies. It has ticket huddle option with internal chat based discussion on organisation level.

    Negative

    Freshdesk offers much more than a standalone customer engagement center. Nothing to criticize.
