Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • The ease of use with this software is really nice, if your company is like ours, we have companies all over the country.
  • Outstanding performance, highly accessible, easy to use and the pricing is by far the best.
  • Cons

  • I am a multi-disciplinary designer myself, and despite trying (very hard) several times to use Basecamp, I just can't get past how ugly, unintuitive, and clunky the UI is.
  • I just found it boring that you can only view one person's task list at a time, if you have a project with multiple members, it makes it difficult.

  • Pros

  • 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.
  • Wonderful tracking and organization of emails and support issues, with a nice and clean UI, and simple tools to automate many support tasks.
  • Cons

  • Contact management and search is awful. It is really difficult to avoid creating duplicated clients with slightly different name.
  • The support and contact system for Freshworks/Freshdesk is as bad as it gets.
