Freshdesk Review
I think Freshdesk is great if you're looking for a low-cost platform for customer service, it solved our issue with redirecting clients to a specific rep for better support. But, when it comes to integrations, I think they have a lot to improve on.
PROSTicket management and workflows are two feature that I liked the most about Freshdesk. It's easy to build custom flows with certain ticket characteristics to redirect tickets to certain reps, depending on their product knowledge and skills.
CONSI think its integration with other apps/platforms is something that Freshdesk can improve on. I use Salesforce on a daily basis and was hoping to integrate Freshdesk with it, but the integration is not the most efficient. Also, not all tickets were syncing to Salesforce, so I had to look up customers manually through Freshdesk to view historic data.
Reason for choosing Freshdesk
Mainly price, also, some people within our company had some past experience using Freshdesk and recommended it.

Lacking rudimentary filter/show by date range feature, terrible for recordkeeping
Mediocre at best - it does what every other support desk system does - assign & distribute tickets, some automation etc. etc. I've submitted the above feature request for very basic date based filter & displays that any email system should have and what is supposed to be an advanced business management tool completely lacks this.
PROSFor years I've been asking for date filters - something as simple as "see all emails sent by this client between 2020-04-10 to 2020-04-15" - NOTHING. To make matters worse, when looking at older emails in a list, it doesn't even show the date - it will show some ambiguous phrase like "About a year ago" which lumps in a 6 month period. If you want accurate tracking of communication, forget it. If you have one off emails that you'll never need to see again once resolved, maybe. If it weren't for the fact we have so many existing records with this company we'd switch but we are stuck, and years of asking them for a simple feature to either allow date based searches OR at least display actual date of email, has been futile. Regret having chose this as our support desk provider for our team of 8!
CONSThe lack of basic and very simple features such as filtering emails/communication by date, or even displaying an accurate date. What business runs on emails that show the date on a list as "About A Year Ago"? Absolutely horrible for business management or record keeping. If you want to manage long term relationship with clients and be able to look up conversations quickly, DO NOT USE FRESHBOOKS.
Reason for choosing Freshdesk
At the time it seemed more powerful - I was probably wrong. I wish I gave Zendesk a longer shot.
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk
To avoid having to forward emails between staff.
