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.

It has been an amazing resource for acquiring and organizing our leads and the calendar and note taking ability is unmatched.

The most hated part of Zoho is its Customer support , it is very pathetic and sometimes it is very glitchy which makes the CRM unusable.

Easy to use, has a good free tier, innovative, friendly UI and UX, a good product in general, good mobile application.

Easy setup, they have different templates for different industries which is nice, can quite easily adjust it with the Zoho Creator, customer support is great too.

This is such an amazing application and customer support on this product is amazing.

I LOVE THAT WE CAN ACCESS FROM ANYWHERE. WOULD LOVE TO INCORPORATED FOR THE FULL STAFF BUT IS BEING USED FOR CERTAIN STAFF ONLY.

The best is contacts and accounts flexibility. Also seamless integration with Zoho Finance suite, which is very good.

Great product for the price. Easy of use and being compatible with other CRM programs, makes it a winner for our company.

My overall experience has been one filled with struggle and frustration.

I really loved the software and recommended it to many of my customers and they are happy with it for months now.

We've got some problem with the email invitations often sent into the spam folder of our customers... but it's a common problem with other CRM I guess.

It is useful for business purpose as it helps maintaining connection with clients and helps to build great customer relations.

I have used other platforms, however there is something very user friendly about this solution, the customer support team and extremley helpful and on hand to answer any enquiries they are patient.

The integration is really awesome, also tracking the invoices and payment really impressive, just I'm not totally satisfied with​ the interface.

Reporting part is also good as compared to other clients, apart from this it analytics capabilities are also awesome.

You get different answers from different customer representatives and the lack of an account manager is painful. App store is full of apps that barely work or aren't maintained.

The reporting system of this software is the best thing I like most about this software. The format of reporting is the best thing.

Best CRM available in the market, Very easy to setup and use. My clients love using the CRM and very user friendly software tool.

Overall, we are happy with Zoho. They are good people, provide great support, and you can't beat the value for money equation.

It’s great to have such an amazing chat support. Overall I’m loving this database and all of its functions.

I love the free account and so does my team. It’s easy to use (once setup) and customer service has always been great.

This is a very easy to use CRM that helps stay on top of all my contacts. Amazing features for a free crm.

This is absolutely great CRM for a medium and big companies. One of the best clients cards, easy integrations and great solution for sales and marketing.

This is a good software to use for the beginners, support is awesome and compared to other alternatives in the market this is pocket friendly as well.

India customer service that can be hard to understand, the use of CRM platform can be confusing and disjointed.

Misleading information during the trial phase. Always upselling their useless apps through Zoho one.

Highly recommended and nice product for startups especially, who are looking for budget friendly and reliable product.

Great features, great integrations, nice price. Good instructions, and even a full course on Linkedin Learning.

The UI is so confusing that I had trouble discovering the features that I needed.

Sometimes, i can even login to the platform and keep showing an error for the Captcha. Other than that, the email template that are provided is difficult to edit and not many option to customized it.

I primarily use it for business e-mails and internal communication. I love how clean and organized it keeps all of my e-mails, and I love the tabs and how customizable my inbox is.

Reminders are extremely helpful in followups. Campaign analytics are really awesome and gives the best analytics to identify the top leads.

The RingCentral integration is especially great with company wide caller ID that syncs with all Modules and the integration between the Zoho ecosystem is just great.

The calendar is pretty good, it has a very good and constant feedback, graphs and charts are really useful.

We are happy overall with the Zoho experience. It is perfect for us to collect sales data and to see graphically where we are for the year.

It is super user friendly and customizable to fit your needs. It allows you to really connect with your customers - with ease.
