This is a great platform for helpdesk management. We use it for around 5 engineers and it works great as it's not over-complicated.

Lacking rudimentary filter/show by date range feature, terrible for recordkeeping.

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

Applications/Addons are great for customizing. Integrations with other products are fantastic.

It is easy to use and it integrates everything which is really helpful, the simplicity of the program was nice.

Freshdesk has been a great product to use for us, it's easy to use and set up and provides a much needed cost effective service.

Freshdesk was great for what we needed. We have since moved to a new product, but recommend Freshdesk to clients when appropriate.

We did not use any software before and we constantly got lost e-mails or forgotten requests because they were all handled through e-mail.

I like it's simplicity, ease of use. It has a very clean interface and is uncluttered.

So user friendly, amazing features and great customer support from pre-sales, to set up, to every day use questions.

Fresh desk is easy to use and to coordinate with a client in best way while its ticketing system is awsome.

Our department has had many debates initially but knows we all are thriving on this product and are super happy with it. A key feature would be the Freshdesk mobile application.

My favourite feature is the very clean inbox and ease of assigning emails to myself or my colleagues.

Contact management and search is awful. It is really difficult to avoid creating duplicated clients with slightly different name.

It simplified things for us, and make our daily tasks easy to maneuver through. It changed the way we work for the better, looks nice, and works well.

The team I dealt with has been great, responsive and attentive to our needs and requirements, they were very easy to work with.

My favorite features are the easy to generate ticket integration with FreshSales, real-time ticket updates, and the ability to draft canned responses for common issues.

It comes with best in class features of reporting, integration, resource management and other useful features that might prove out to be the ways for improving overall productivity.

The ability to sync, manage & assign tickets with ease. Has been a fan of there mobile app and the notifications that helps me keep a track of tickets on the go.

However,  I have terrible experience when it comes to the customer service, which is very horrible.

With their continued lack of responsiveness we cancelled our account after using the service for about a year.

The support and contact system for Freshworks/Freshdesk is as bad as it gets.

Reasonable price and a very easy interface make it an excellent pick for us.

Overall I am so glad I chose freshdesk. It’s very easy to use and is a great value.

We selected them because we can have some top notch solutions just like we had Freshdesk or Zendesk, but we do not have to leave a fortune there.

We liked the Shared ownership concept which helps communicating internally through one interface and best part is the reports structure.

Very useful for customer service agents. With the help of Freshdesk, I was able to offer great customer service to the clients who gave us good company ratings.

I really appreciate that they have a free trial to use for this software and that the customer support they offer is great and helpful.

The interface makes sense to use, and when I needed guidance, the Customer Support Team was SUPER QUICK to help me get to where I needed/wanted to be.

The only negative thing so far, is that some Spanish translations have been erroneous or inaccurate.

The additional issue is if someone can spam your Freshdesk site, then they think they can spam any of your sites.

Happy, good support and account management and good value for money compared to other services in the market.

We are able to track our customers and teams progress. Plus it started our free and there was a chance to learn and implement it into our daily routine and now we are paying for more features.

It has been very good at the time of backing up information and cycling functions that remain programs in the best way effectively.

It felt like it was meant for the company, I was very impressed with how many interesting features you have. It is very secure to use.

You can do essentailly anything you can dream up within their platform, and their wonderful customer support and assistance makes sure you know how to follow through with that.

SurveyGizmo is free CPCs but that's because its so limited and incapable of performing anything more complicated than a quick poll or simple survey. Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey aren't that much better.

They are quick to jump in and find the best solutions for us. They have built a strong foundation of trust with our team and we know we can count on them.

The FC support team is decently responsive and has generally met their committed deadlines.

Licenses can be limiting - hard to show multiple people results, hard to get logins. Not able to link customer IDs to our software.

The simplicity of the integration on their platform makes it easy to onboard them especially if you are already leveraging some of their integrated tools.

Fuel Cycle is easy to use and allows for a wide range of research methods.

The redemption process for a user will frequently go sideways on you either by fault of user error or on fault of the GiftBit API or GiftBit's emailer.

Launching an activity seems to be difficult. You have to import the link, set up the activity + set up the communication email.

Helped our team cultivate customers who could give honest feedback. Helps us stay engaged with our community.

Special shoutout to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] (our panel partners) for always being on top of communication. They make managing a panel easy and I enjoy our partnership with them.

In addition, they are affordable and have found a strong balance between full service and agile/DIY.

Love the integration of Qualtrics to make programming easier. I like the incentives and being able to give points.

Customer services is awesome, very personal and customized.

Best Customer Service and a Great, User-Friendly Platform.

Some of the tools are built and managed by FC but at the same time they bring in fabulous partners that give me as a researcher a single place to go to execute a wide range of studies.

The look and feel of the community and the back end moderator dashboard are all very helpful and easy to use.

The FC team was very helpful in training us and getting us up to speed on using the platform. It's easy to use and has been valuable in understanding perceptions & behaviors and testing ideas.

I appreciate that I can field a lot of different types of survey questions and can do some fairly sophisticated data analyses.

How to bring better content to our viewers. Overall my experience has been great.

I've had experience with Tango Card's API connected to an online community with significantly fewer issues. The 2nd weakest aspect is the survey platform tools that integrate with FUEL CYCLE.
