Freshdesk is easy to use and helps manage customer queries efficiently. I like how it keeps all tickets organized in one place, making it simple to track issues, collaborate with teams, and provide timely support to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

"Sometimes Freshdesk can be a bit slow when loading tickets, and finding specific information across multiple tickets can take extra time. Some features also require several clicks to access, which could be streamlined for a smoother experience." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Ticketing with Great Features"
5/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I like that Freshdesk is easy to use, which makes it a great helpdesk tool for my organization. I appreciate the discounted pricing, which is beneficial for us. The custom mail SMTP feature is also a plus, as it allows for more personalized communication options. I'm impressed with the modern features and app integrations, which keep everything organized and centralized in one place. This saves time by having centralized ticketing for the entire organization. The initial setup was very easy, which made the transition smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Sometimes due to a technical glitch, outgoing gets blocked and I have to raise a support ticket, which delays operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Our District Helpdesk Efficiently"
5/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I like that Freshdesk is easy to use and there are several ways to put in and report issues by tickets. I also appreciate that teachers and staff can communicate and report problems by either logging in and filling out or emailing an address, and the system creates the tickets for them. This helps in managing time and setting priorities for issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

They have a part that makes the closing of tickets a contest. It is easy to fool and get top spot without doing a whole lot with solving issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly with Efficient Automation, Slightly Priced High"
4/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I like how Freshdesk is very simple and organized, making customer support and handling queries for email, chat, and other platforms easier. The automation features are really helpful because they reduce manual work by automatically assigning tickets and managing responses, priorities, etc. It's a cloud-based tool that is easy to learn and use, with a clear interface and good automation tools that are great for both small and medium businesses. Additionally, Freshdesk provides good automation and integrations suitable for scaling support teams. I also appreciate the easier setup and learning curve, better ticket organization, and the cleaner dashboard that makes daily operations smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The design is maybe not the best, like add-ons feature requires expensive plans. The software can feel expensive and slow when handling large ticket volumes. There are too many notifications sometimes, and the integration setup could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All Customer Conversations in One Place with Freshdesk’s Easy Ticketing & Automations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

What I like most about Freshdesk is that it keeps all customer conversations in one place. Earlier it was difficult to track emails and support queries across different channels, but with Freshdesk everything becomes a ticket and it’s much easier to manage. The UI is also quite straightforward, so even new team members can get comfortable using it quickly. Automation rules are another thing I like because they help route tickets automatically and save a lot of manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

One thing I feel could be better is the reporting and analytics section. Basic reports are fine, but if you want more detailed insights you sometimes have to spend time configuring things. Also, some useful features are locked behind higher pricing plans, which can be a bit limiting for smaller teams. Apart from that, occasionally finding certain settings or configurations takes a bit of digging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Support with Efficient Ticket Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

I use Freshdesk to manage customer support tickets, live chat, and self-service help articles. It centralizes emails, routes requests to the right team member, and tracks resolution times efficiently. I appreciate that Freshdesk solves missed emails and slow response times by organizing all support channels in one place. The automation rules and reporting save a ton of time, and the interface doesn’t get in the way when I'm busy. I also like how it was easier to set up compared to Zendesk and cheaper for our team size, making it an attractive choice. The setup was pretty straightforward, and the guided onboarding helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

Custom reporting and automation are limited on lower plans. The mobile app feels slower than desktop. Advanced features cost extra, so scaling gets expensive for small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, User-Friendly Ticketing That Keeps Support Teams Moving"
5/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

Freshdesk has an incredibly intuitive, user-friendly interface. It makes it easy for our support agents to track, prioritize, and respond to customer tickets, all without a steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

While the basic features are solid, the advanced reporting and analytics tools can feel a bit rigid. Building and customizing more complex reports to track specific team metrics ends up taking more effort than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, Intuitive Interface, but Ticket Exports and AI Features Need Work"
3/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The interface is clean and intuitive — ticket views, filters, and agent workflows are easy to pick up without much training. Navigation across modules feels logical, and the dashboard gives a quick snapshot of queue health at a glance." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

It doesn’t offer strong AI features. I can’t even export all tickets from a specific timeframe with the necessary context. There’s also no clean way to export all tickets along with their full content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Real-Time Analytics and Canned Responses for Faster, Consistent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Freshdesk?

The customizable dashboard and real-time analytics are outstanding - I can track ticket volumes, response times, and SLA compliance across multiple brands at a glance.

Canned responses have been a game-changer for our team. We manage 15+ brands and can maintain consistent, brand-specific responses while dramatically reducing response time. This helped us reduce our average first response time by 37%.

The ticket categorization system is robust - we can filter by Type, Platform, Priority, and Status, making it easy to route tickets efficiently and prioritize urgent issues.

The email integration works seamlessly, and the team performance features (leaderboards, badges, trend analysis) help motivate our team and drive continuous improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshdesk?

The initial setup complexity can be challenging, particularly the email forwarding configuration and DNS record setup for domain authentication. The DKIM CNAME record configuration requires technical expertise and coordination with IT teams.

While the platform is feature-rich, some workflow automation could be more intuitive. We often rely on external tools like Grammarly for quality assurance of responses, which should ideally be built in.

Reporting customization could be more flexible - while the standard reports are good, creating custom views for specific business needs sometimes requires workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
