    Considered Both Products
    Freshworks Inc
    Chose Freshdesk
    We ultimately migrated to Freshservice because it was able to offer some of the things that FreshDesk didn't have out of the box, such as SLAs and reports.

    Chose Freshdesk
    Freshdesk stacks up against Zoho Desk, Zendesk Support Suite, and Freshservice in terms of accurate time tracking, pricing, ease of use, and app integration. Zoho Desk does not support real-time tracking and is not very user-friendly, though it works well with knowledge base …

    Chose Freshdesk
    Our Sharepoint solution was a home grown solution to track issues that never really worked. Everything we needed we had to build from scratch. It also didn't lend well to expanding into other departments. When I tried Freshservice, I liked it quite well - but it was just a …

    Chose Freshdesk
    Spiceworks was too much work to get off the road and didn't offer much on the user's side. Freshservice is a lot more focused on IT work and I'd recommend starting with it. Desk.com is great for a whole organization, but rules frequently break with a mixed bag of how useful the …

    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 …

    Freshdesk is a cost-effective and seamless GUI-based interface with all along functionalities.

    Chose Freshdesk
    Freshdesk has significantly more features that work at an improved rate compared to the competitor. "Round robin" ticket automation, scenario execution, canned responses, etc are all features we use daily and things that Zendesk did not have (or you would need a 3rd party app …

    Chose Freshdesk
    The most important is the pricing. Freshdesk/Freshworks all the solution and base price is available on the internet, which is easier for us to make fast decisions rather than waiting for other sales reps to get back to us. The graphic user interface is easy to see and use.

    Freshworks Inc
    Chose Freshservice
    Freshdesk is great, if you have a smaller team with a shared inbox, unfortunately, FreshService helped segregate data from our department and others departments, in a way that Freshdesk didnt provide.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshservice
    We use Freshservice for our wider business but use Freshdesk, chat & caller for our customer service team. We believe Freshservice is a tool designed for IT & other departments and believe Freshdesk provides better tools for our customer service team.
    Incentivized
    Chose Freshservice
    Freshdesk works really well for ticketing, but that's it. It doesn't have most of what Freshservice can offer. You miss out on asset management, lots of automation features, and service requests. However, its API is just as robust as Freshservice and integrates nicely with …

    Chose Freshservice
    As we moved to an ITIL framework this just made sense to transfer across as migration was very simple and completed on our behalf. Also alot of the customisation we had came across which really helped.

    Chose Freshservice
    Freshservice is more related to IT and helpdesk. We didn't have requirements that doesn't fit into the IT world. That is way we decided to select Freshservice.

    Chose Freshservice
    Freshservice to us was a clear winner, for its simple GUI, simple setup and configuration and support, pre and post go live.

    Chose Freshservice
    We picked Freshservice over the others for many reasons. The first would be the ease of implementation. Another is due to the nice interface the system has. We also like the way we can push out a small piece of software to pull in the asset information for asset management. …

    Chose Freshservice
    The feature sets, intuitive nature, and hosted options were all attractive to us as we looked for a ITIL- centric solution. The interface, and ability to be up-and-running in a very short amount of time drove us to invest in Freshservice.
