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.

Freshdesk: Professionally log, track and attend customer support queries
Freshdesk took our business to another great level, for we have completed eliminated human mistakes, absences, lost tickets from our operations. We are on the way to the perfect customer support experience and Freshdesk has assisted us in this, all the way!
PROSBefore using Freshdesk, it did happen on several occasions that customer queries were lost or remained unattended. With Freshdesk, we made a huge leap, by automating reminders and setting priority levels to support tickets. Since then, our customer support experience considerably improved, becoming one of the best for our industry.
CONSTo be honest, they are really great and I find no dislike as such at this current moment. An improvement would be to offer additional means of payment.
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk

Freshdesk makes working easier!
In general, I think there are plenty of customizations and features with Freshdesk. The real selling point for our company was the analytics because we can see the history of our tickets and prevent them from reoccurring in the future.
PROSI love the analytics and history log in Freshdesk. Freshdesk tracks agents' productivity through out the day and breaks up this information by the hour. We can also look up who has resolved the most tickets or who sends out immediate responses. All of this information is especially helpful when assigning new tickets because we can see a history of our most efficient employees. Previous tickets can be easily searched by key words, agent, or time frame. When multiple people are working on one project, it really helps to decipher who did what and when!
CONSOne thing that I believe can be improved is having a group option to send out an email. It's not common when we have to include multiple people on a ticket but when we do, we have to cc them in the very beginning as opposed to adding "Group A". -- The information still gets everyone on the same page, however it is an additional step on the agent's end.
Reason for choosing Freshdesk
We chose Freshdesk because of the variety of user friendly capabilities and features. Salesforce had aggressive sales reps who didn't care about our companies needs. Zendesk wasn't user friendly and many of the "integrations" could only be connected by people with web design or coding experience. Jobber fit our needs as a smaller company but now we have 5 service divisions. Overall, Freshdesk is the platform that suits all of our needs as a growing company.
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk
We made the switch because we outgrew Jobber and its capabilities. Jobber lacked the analytics, history, sales features, and user friendly options necessary to grow our business.

Using FreshDesk for 3 years and Still Going Strong
Teachers generally create tickets for me with problems they have with technology. Administration creates tickets for me to evaluate different education systems, set up systems for teachers, arrange training, or pretty much anything. It's all documented in detail in the ticket, along with pictures, links to articles, whatever I need.
PROSThe software is easily customizable, and fairly easy to use. Being able to see the notifications pop up on my watch and access tickets from my Google Pixel phone is a lifesaver. Teacher's can't be bothered to log in to a portal to create a ticket, so we customized Fresh Desk so they could simply send an email of their problem to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and it would create a ticket for them. I can reply to them right from within the help desk system. Initially we had it set up for two agents and purchased the next level plan. Our Maintenance Supervisor ended up not using it so we backed down to the free version. The virsatility of multiple plans is a major plus. Their support is quick, and eager to help. They will actually go out of their way to help you.
CONSThe only con is probably easily fixable-- When I close a ticket, it of course emails the teacher letting him/her know. But they inevitably always reply with Thank You, which reopens the ticket. Other than that, it is a perfect system!
Reason for choosing Freshdesk
Freshdesk has a free entry level version for just one agent, and that sounded like it would be perfect for us. We are a small school district with only around 180 students, and I am the only technology person so I function as director, tech, integration specialist, whatever they need. What we didn't need was an expensive solution we couldn't afford or justify.. Freshdesk fit the bill!
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk
Google forms works in a pinch, but there's no built in flow. Plus, it's quicker to customize Fresh Desk, than to use Forms and create a Site to work with it.

Very solid help desk software
I started as a free user and found it extremely versatile. My first hiccup was that, as a free user, when the advanced features that were included expired, they disabled my account. Instead of scaling it back it just went offline without warning. Once that was fixed we found an excellent way to continue with the free account until they implemented a "spam" update that invalidated all tickets sent to any email address except our main address. Again, this was done without warning and we were offline for 3 days. We have subscribed but it was done more out of necessity rather than being able to upgrade for full features.
PROSI like the fact that it has a dedicated APP for mobile use, that I can use Email to respond to tickets, great search functionality as well
CONSInterface could use an update to be more compact and show more information in a single screen. right now a ticket takes up pretty much every part of the display. Also, IOS app is slow on startup and refreshing
Reason for choosing Freshdesk
More features and better pricing than Zendesk.
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk
Many Many more features, great consolidation of my client base.

Freshdesk is a great alternative to over priced industry stalwarts.
Freshdesk has been a breeze to set up and use effectively. My team loves how easy it is to quickly work through tickets. We heavily use Trello and their integration is top tier. When issues do come up, the support team is always available to answer my questions. Even when it doesn't support a particular workflow, I've always been given excellent suggestions to work around its limitations.
CONSMany integrations are v1 products that were built years ago and never updated. Salesforce integration needs a lot of work. We had to disable it because it was using too many API calls.
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk
Salesforce Service Cloud is a pain to configure. It's it pretty much unusable unless your company has an on-staff Salesforce developer. You can only configure very basic functionality via the admin options.

Superb Experience
We needed an efficient CRM system, easy to set up an with easy access to analytics to manage our tickets and Freshdesk was able to give us that and more. We love that its features are based on time; we are able to measure agent and team performance on this.
PROSFreshdesk is built on ITIL framework and very easy to use. It took me a few minutes to figure it out, find all the metrics that we needed and set up. The support and software team are readily available on chat, email and conference call - regardless of need. Lately I see lots of improvements in the software (like the Field Service Management, Proactive Reach and advance ticketing). Some of the new features have helped us tremendously while others (FSM) has got us thinking on efficiency in our field work.
CONSIn improving the system, a few of our favored features are taken off. For instance, with Linked Tickets we are unable to send bulk emails from the Tracker. The alternative is to send bulk emails from the Tickets view or filtered view; this is tedious if one has to select individual tickets which notice is meant for or when there are multiple linked tickets to different trackers. Also, Email Outreach should have the alternative of selecting contact from Freshdesk instead of uploading a CSV file
Reason for choosing Freshdesk
Ease of use and support response rate. Freshdesk team were proactive to set up an online meeting with us where sales, IT and other relevant stakeholders were available to answer our questions and understand our needs before paying for the service. While on trial, we had set up 80% of the things we needed while waiting for feedback on the remaining things so this helped us decide quickly.
Reasons for switching to Freshdesk
It was difficult generating reports from Kayako. We were yet t transfer to their new version. With years of use, we needed something new which met our needs - in line with our ITIL-based structure.
