Considered Both Products
Experro
Chose Experro
We're strategically positioning the precise items that people are actively seeking at the forefront of their search results.
Chose Experro
So we chose Experro over Contentstack and Shogun because it is an all-in-one DXP. It has everything built-in that a business would need to flourish and grow.
Chose Experro
The value-for-money, 24x7 support, integration capabilities, and smooth working were a few of the many reasons that we chose Experro.
Chose Experro
We did come across a couple of DXP. After a lot of evaluation (and team fights), we reached to a conclusion that we started using Experro.
Chose Experro
Before Experro, we were using a content management system that was slow, high maintenance and limited in features, which not only took a toll on our SEO performance but hindered our overall content management process. We were looking for something more agile and streamlined …
Chose Experro
Firstly the pricing plans have a vast difference. We were amazed at how feather-light Experro was on our pockets. On top of that, the ease of comprehension and use of the platform was higher in Experro as compared to Vue Storefront. Relying on Experro was totally worth the …
Chose Experro
We considered Bloomreach, Contentstack, Contentful, and Experro. After comparing the services, integration capabilities, and pricing, we went ahead with Experro. The experience of working with them has been a smooth ride. We are looking forward to more success with Experro …
Chose Experro
In my opinion, setting up Experro is much easier compare to Bloomreach and we also didn't have to integrate with whole lot of tools to get the end results. Also, Experro is DXP with a combination of multiple tools like Headless CMS, Search, Merchandising, etc. giving us all the …
Chose Experro
In my experience, Experro is Highly affordable, no operational overhead, fully-managed so you can focus on your business whereas contentful has a Higher license, development, and maintenance costs.Experro integrates with any eCommerce platform and offers a fully-managed …
Freshdesk
Chose Freshdesk
We wanted to move our entire support on a single channel and manage all the support via a single channel so this is where omni channel helped us.

Additionally, knowledge bases and the AI agents are also on the same platforms, so these things help us to improve the quality of …
Chose Freshdesk
I use Freshdesk over other similar products I've tested because the price difference and ease of use for the end user seem to me to be the most suitable for achieving a better return on investment within my company. I also found the various AI-powered automation tools to be …
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk is way beyond these tool. The solution and technology provided is more more step ahead with the shared product.
Chose Freshdesk
We felt that Freshdesk offered better value in terms of pricing and offered a matching feature set. It was also highly recommended by a member of a team that had used Freshdesk in their previous organisation. Lastly the fact that it could integrate into Hubspot (that we use as …
Chose Freshdesk
We use all Freshdesk, Freshchat, and other Freshworks tools—they’re all great. Freshchat is awesome for real-time support, while Freshdesk handles tickets, automation, and multi-channel queries really well. Using them together gives us a complete, seamless customer service …
Chose Freshdesk
its better in terms of pricing for sure as others are completely to high costly.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk was the easiest to set up and was the most straightforward product of all the products we evaluated. It had a better user interface for agents, and provided a great solution to meet our needs at a lower cost than the other products that we evaluated. Freshdesk offers …
Chose Freshdesk
Ultimately we ended up switching from Freshdesk to Zendesk, and then from zendesk to devrev. We're still trying to find the right fit for us - Freshdesk covers the same options as Zendesk, if you use the whole suite it's probably a good option.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshworks desk is very easy to use and understand.
The biggest strengths if Freshdesk as it's usability, Affordability and the vast number of features it provides for its clients.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk lacks some of the functionality of costlier IT tool suites but makes up for it in value. Yes, that means you may have to use two tools to do the job of one complete suite, but for the price and the functionality, Freshdesk does what it does at the best value point.
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk has the edge, because of the easy user interface, data download, implementation options, One access for chats, calls, WhatsApp Business and emails. Segregation of tickets as per the respective department. Dashboard availability for each department, checking the …
Chose Freshdesk
As saied before, Freshdesk is very simple to use. It is very agile to our needs and uses, based on the requests are made from our employees only. So, everything they demand, is a well know task or activity in our duties. Zammad does it very well, but needs an on premises …
Chose Freshdesk
Superior in every aspect—it is that simple! It offers a more flexible product, smoother UI, and, importantly, a more patient and supportive account team.
Chose Freshdesk
Compared to Crisp, Freshdesk offers much more organization and is just much more helpful when it comes to having more than one region/team. Not that Crisp is bad, but with Freshdesk, internal communication and collaboration are much easier, which was quite important for our …
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk has a more modern and intuitive user interface, while Help Scout's interface is simpler and more minimalist.In case of features, Freshdesk offers a wider range of features, includes omnichannel support, AI powered automations, and advanced analytics. Help Scout is …
Chose Freshdesk
My company originally selected Freshdesk due to price, but as we grew, we found it lacking compared to its more expensive counterparts. I briefly compared Zendesk to resolve our main issues with Freshdesk, but I'd spent so much time and effort customizing Freshdesk that we …
Chose Freshdesk
Freshdesk is aimed more for direct customer support tasks.
Chose Freshdesk
Track it was too complicated to maintain.
Chose Freshdesk
Good platform for organizing the tickets from different sources and making sure no single communication is missed in the cracks. Automations bring productivity. Customization is not easy unless you learn the SDKs/ APIs. but has a great deal to offer. Integrations with other …
Chose Freshdesk
We tried Freshchat, but since our app did not have advanced technology, we were not able to use it. However, the Freshdesk team supported us in exploring this option.
Chose Freshdesk
We have an omnichannel, so we use Freshdesk, Freshchat, and Freshcaller.

Freshdesk is really good for start-up companies that want to update their current system or buy a new one. It is the best option possible when it comes to having a structure, following up, and making a better strategy because you can always see what your team is doing, and you have some great reports to help you.

Pros
  • Experro's Headless Store Frontend integrated with our existing backend on Shopify, creating rich, lightning-fast, headless content and commerce experiences without requiring us to overhaul our system.
  • It bundled all the necessary components for headless eCommerce implementation, eliminating the need for separate hosting, CDN, or CMS.
  • Experro offered revenue-generating search experiences for each customer, significantly increasing our conversions.

  • Follow up on all conversations that enter and are easy to use by the employee and save responses ready for use.
  • Find out the average rate of the number of conversations that occur in the company and conduct the analysis.
  • There is a feature it allows one to take a permit in the name of the employee who responds to the conversation and to know the problem faced by the customer and the solution.

Cons
  • While the current menu management works effectively, some users may find a simplified user interface to be more intuitive and user-friendly.
Read full review
  • Data Security.
  • SLA Policies where it is not customer / contract driven but agents / groups driven.
  • Audit Trail is not available in Pro version makes the tool adoption difficult from compliance perspective.
  • Chat Bot and Fresh Chat Services has greater potential to explode, but the pricing model tagged to chat bot sessions .are illogical as it limits the ability to use the fresh chat feature
  • Agent Logon Screen use earlier version of Captcha as it is annoying for the agents to login. Very frustrating experience.

When it's all so good,what's the reason to not renew it? ;)
Read full review
My company that used Freshdesk was acquired by another company that uses Salesforce, so our only reason to keep Freshdesk would be records, but migrating the tickets, notes, and company details from Freshdesk to Salesforce was straightforward enough. Had the acquisition not occurred, we would have renewed Freshdesk because the cost of switching would've been too great in terms of price, time, and sunk cost (our Freshdesk customizations would not port over well).

Usability
The ease of use is top-notch! Honestly, the platform is intuitive. Whether it i uploading new content or managing the digital assets of a landing page - we got the hang of it pretty quickly.

I gave it a rating of 9 out of 10 because they delivered on everything we asked them to do. Easy to setup, easy to deploy to end users, easy to customize, easy to enter tickets and so much more. Our experience with their support is top notch! After opening a ticket for support they call use back within 10 minutes every time!

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
I have encountered a lot of errors in the Freshdesk, however, they tend to resolve it on priority or at least they will share the timeline by when this can be resolved. Most of the time the issue has been from the other partner's end. They take time to resolve their vendor issues and they don't have any timelines in case of developed app errors.

Performance
No answers on this topic
The reports take a lot of time to download if the time period is large. Also, the tickets take their sweet time to open and load. It is not fast as Zendesk. Only 30 tickets are visible in a single go and there isn't any option to select all. If we need to change the pages and dashboards it takes a lot of time to open.

Support Rating
We had contacted the support team to solve our doubts about the theme integration. The team was quick. Apparently they are available 24x5, it is pretty much enough to cover all our needs in the real-time.

The main thing about Freshdesk user service is that once a request has been made for information about a feature of the platform, the support team responds to tickets quickly, within a day of writing and submitting them, with information that is concise enough so that there is no need to ask for help on the same topic again.

Most important, Freshdesk is a user- friendly platform which directly supports interfaces and navigates user to start. Helps to provide multiple and complex documentation and troubleshooting. It provides build templates for different workflows and processes also refuces effort and time to implement and perform corporate tasks and complete the execution.

In my experience, Experro is Highly affordable, no operational overhead, fully-managed so you can focus on your business whereas Contentful has a Higher license, development, and maintenance costs.Experro integrates with any eCommerce platform and offers a fully-managed frontend out-of-the-box while there is a need to hire developers to stitch Contentstack, eCommerce APIs, and third-party apps into a “custom” build frontend.

I use Freshdesk over other similar products I've tested because the price difference and ease of use for the end user seem to me to be the most suitable for achieving a better return on investment within my company. I also found the various AI-powered automation tools to be more optimal and automated, without having to go through long learning curves.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
My company had Freshdesk agents from support and success. It's generally difficult to customize permissions for different agent "roles." We were a fully distributed company, so "multiple sites" doesn't apply to us. We found Freshdesk features lacking as we grew our customer base, and adding agents wasn't easy because price steeply increases with number of agents.
