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.

PROS

Ticket 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.

CONS

I 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.
