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.

Used this at one of my old jobs and it was so easy to use and amazing for functionality.

I like how easy anyone can be trained to use this, making sure clients are taken care of is a huge priority so this is a wonderful platform for that.

I have been very impressed by the available Knowledge Base and Community for answering my questions about functionality and best practices. Zendesk Support has also been a fantastic resource.

This software is a great way to centralize all customer service experiences. It also has great ability to integrate with other software.

What I like most about Zendesk is the way it can handle and manage customer relationships with ease and simplicity. Very great platform to use for your CRM needs.

Love how easy it is to submit the tickets and how easy the tool is to use. Love that I am able to follow it along.

Good for ticketing systems and really hums when it's automated. Fairly widely used in the industry so there's a lot of good forums and support on it.

It is a fantastic solution that meets all the requirements of our corporation.

I liked the standardization of different support metrics. The CSAT is pretty good and APIs are very useful.

I like the ease of finding past tickets. Not a fan of the chat feature.

If you use all Zendesk Suite, Chat it's a great add-on, and it's cost per agent it is fair enough when compared to all the metrics you can gather.

The transition from ticket to call is lovely if you require that feature and it allows you save your interaction easily.

The customer communication and support have been improved and we are happy about its functions and prices.

ZenDesk is cost effective and easy to implement. The macros features are powerful, and allow for a lot of ease of use in the system.

The interface is so intuitive and powerful. Customer service advisors adapt to it very quickly, and it makes it super easy for them to manage their tickets.

We never had support on issues, lost clients, lost statistics, etc. But when payment is due, then they sent many emails.

Their Email Platform Connect is the worst on the market.

Big array of features which can help companies in different situations. Useful feature of having different languages in the system, which helps a lot with international clients.

Over my experience was nice. Customer service was responsive and the product is well on its way to be the best in the market.

It's a great tool for Customer Care and the conexion with Facebook and Twitter allows for a complete ownership of the customer care attention.

Zendesk has solved so many issues in one program. Pricing is good and a fair price.

Overall my experience was great. It is a nice product that integrates easily with other softwares.

I loved how feature rich this software was, it definitely helped me help my shoppers and website visitors.

Another cons is their technical support is very poor, it’s not that often you’ll need it but when you do, it’s hard to get it.

I love zendesk and find it pretty easy to use. I like how useful it is in everyday business setting.

I had a great experience using zen desk. My team was happy too with how easy it is to use and how quickly they can move from ticket to ticket.

The alert sound is as bad as one could sound and the lack of some useful features proved a NO GO! for me.
