Remote Customer Service

PROS

Freshdesk is very easy to use and to train staff on. The program is simply built without a ton of confusing information or unnecessary additions I found the tracking to be sufficient and as a whole it worked well for the company.

CONS

I would have liked to see when staff was online or off and a way to better track who is answering tickets and the length of time it took to answer each of them.

Ozone Entertainment review

PROS

I love the automations and integration in the Helpdesk portion of the OmniChannel. I can really introduce a lot of quality of life features to the team to help them focus on supporting and not repetitive tasks and triage.

CONS

The chat feature has less automations on the backend like the need to add Labels manually as well as the lack of tags. With the introduction of ChatGPT I hope to see more automated tasks. Also the addition of tags as another form of chat categorization will help as the Labels provide a more general placement into a category and the tabs will really help define every chat issue.

Reason for choosing Freshdesk

Better pricing plans for the features we are looking for

Reasons for switching to Freshdesk

Freshdesk offers more options to scale the team
