## Reviews

### "Freshdesk is easy to use for help desk needs" — 5.0/5

> **Glen** | *24 July 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Setting up a freshdesk is incredibly easy.&#10;We just create a mailbox for our Org and have our Staff email it with their ticket needs, and Freshdesk turns those emails into tickets we can track.
> 
> **Cons**: If you want more than two Agent accounts to respond to tickets with, or you want to have more than one helpdesk for more departments, you have to buy a paid subscription. Everyone's got to make money so I understand, but it is a pain point for us.
> 
> I've been a user for about 5 years and love it.&#10;The system is very easy to understand, comment in, email the requestors via. We currently use the Free tier.

### "Freshdesk - A breath of Fresh Air" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *24 March 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of setup, basic functionality and overall features straight out of the box, made setting up very easy.
> 
> **Cons**: Limited functionality, there is a more advanced product that is ITIL compliant and the limitations have taken some time to work out how to do in the lower-level product.
> 
> Good from the outset, initial support was good, but after that, it disappeared, but by then we were working on a basic ticketing system and fleshing out the details to give a more in-depth service catalog.

-----

### "Basic functionality but lacks modern features and integration flexibility" — 3.0/5

> **Pedro** | *14 November 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The interface is relatively straightforward to navigate, and the ticket management system covers basic helpdesk functionalities. The email ticketing works reliably for standard support requests.
> 
> **Cons**: Freshdesk has failed to modernize with the times and lacks meaningful AI capabilities that competitors now offer. The integrations are clunky and limited, making it difficult to connect with other tools in our stack. The platform feels dated compared to newer alternatives.
> 
> Freshdesk serves its purpose as a basic helpdesk solution but feels increasingly outdated in today's market. While it handles standard ticketing needs adequately, the absence of modern AI features and the limited, clunky integration options make it challenging to build an efficient workflow. For teams looking for innovation and seamless connectivity with other tools, Freshdesk may fall short of expectations.

### "Streamlining Customers Assistance and Request from Freshdesk" — 5.0/5

> **Graziana** | *15 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Freshdesk has a friendly and knowledgeable ticketing system that easily organize and respond to all clients issues&#10;I like the multi channel nature or support that Freshdesk has, which brings all communication together &#10;Freshdesk has a supportive collaboration tool, something that improves teamwork
> 
> **Cons**: I don’t like the price concept from Freshdesk, where some higher tiers needs more money &#10;The tool faces some page loads, more so when there is some big traffic
> 
> Freshdesk is completely intentional in managing and centralizing customer support &#10;The program has effectively managed tickets, which speeds the response time to customers &#10;Freshdesk has an outstanding self service support, which gives immediate answers to customers

-----

### "Superb and easy to use IT helpdesk" — 5.0/5

> **Abid** | *28 April 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple to set up and get started. Easy for users to log tickets and keep informed via the portal and email workflow.
> 
> **Cons**: I would prefer if they had a stronger back end from the agent perspective. Make it easier to customise the support portal, but also contact the Freshdesk support team.
