    Considered Both Products
    Freshworks Inc
    Chose Freshdesk
    Freshworks host a suite of products all on their Freshworks NEO platform.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshdesk
    Compared to other products on the market (Xendesk for example) I feel Freshdesk is more straightforward and provides all the features that the competition offers in an easier to use platform. The ability to add additional services and features make Freshdesk the strongest …
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshdesk
    We purchased both Freshsales and Fresh desk at the same time. The Freshworks products gave the best solution at the time because I believed I'd receive one-on-one support and guidance as well as get all of the features we required between the two products as well as full …

    Chose Freshdesk
    Freshdesk does everything that Zendesk did for less cost.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshdesk
    I wasn't involved in the decision process as to which was used however, from experience with contacting both companies for help, the Freshdesk support team is 10x better than Agile CRMs
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshdesk
    I feel that they can go head to head with Zendesk, which is considered to be the most popular and well known help desk software.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshdesk
    Initially, I worked with Zendesk when I first started working on a customer support portal. During that time I found Zendesk "over the top" and difficult to navigate, plus the fees were more then I wanted to pay.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshdesk
    Freshdesk is a lot easier to implement than Desk.com and is a lot cheapier also. I have used Desk.com on my former work, and the tools that it had aveilable were almost the same, but it was easier to manage and start using. Take into account that I am comparing the version of De…

    Freshworks Inc
    Chose Freshsales
    Freshsales is within the Freshworks ecosystem so it was a no-brainer as far as evaluating it as a CRM. We've implemented both Freshcaller and Freshdesk in other areas of our business so we were happy to take a look at Freshsales. We do a significant amount of email marketing so …
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshsales
    Freshsales can be integrated with the other product we use called Freshdesk, which is a ticketing system.
    We can link sales information such as leads, contacts, and account info to each support ticket. Both systems are interactively connected.

    Chose Freshsales
    Zoho CRM: very very slow and cumbersome to use
    Salesforce: It is a giant with a lot of features, but very complicated for an SMB
    HubSpot: Lacks lots of advanced features that Freshsales has
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshsales
    Actually, I didn't use any tools before Freshsales because I worked on a support team.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshsales
    We used Hubspot. It was fine except the reports were weak.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshsales
    In simple words, Freshsales makes it a lot easier and effective but flexible. All of them are good but some have too many options while some miss out on some very important features and remains the same. Freshsales is not complicated, has a good support team who are dynamic and …
