    Considered Both Products
    Freshworks Inc
    Chose Freshdesk
    It has a lot of the features you would need to run a support service but it doesn't have as much extensibility. It works out more cost effective to use Jira Service Management as customer and service management is included in one product

    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
    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
    FreshDesk was the best combination of ease of use and price. While inexpensive, even the lowest tier offered more functionality than the other guys, and the learning curve is almost nonexistent so it's easy to add new agents and get them up to speed quickly instead of having …

    Chose Freshdesk
    Freshdesk has less features but seems easier to set up and use. This benefits both end users and support agents.

    Chose Freshdesk
    Jira Service Management Configuration was incredibly complicated and would have required significant time and effort to set up properly. Customer Portal customization is very limited compared to other solutions. No integrated voice solution is available, which was something …

    Chose Freshdesk
    The product that Freshdesk compares to the most on this list is Zendesk, which was considerably more expensive and was missing a server integration that we required. It did have a lot of great features, though, and its Support and Account Managers are located in the U.S. (vs. …

    Chose Freshdesk
    It's simpler and great for start ups and small business.

    Chose Freshdesk
    We're actually already using other systems to make up for the lack of things that Freshdesk can do. However, Freshdesk is easy to learn and easy to use. With everything going more digital, we need software that can keep up. Freshdesk is still a good project management tool. We …

    Functionality vs. price for Freshdesk was high compared to other products. It was also easier to understand and configure.

    Chose Freshdesk
    - Zendesk vs Freshdesk is similar but FD is better than zendesk. - SF vs Freshdesk cost is almost ok but got better contacts in FD to begin with. - Siebel vs Freshdesk UI challenge are easier than Siebel. - Jira vs Freshdesk Cost effective than Jira.

    Chose Jira Service Management
    We considered Freshdesk but considering the tight integration with Jira and Confluence, this was the best bet.

    Chose Jira Service Management
    We did select Jira initially because of its simplicity and ease of setup but it turned out to be a lot more complex to get up and running!

    We had a large KEBD, and we wanted to take its advantage to the fullest, so we went ahead and had this setup, but later replaced it with …

    JIRA is far more advanced than some of its competitors with its advanced agile functionality and customizable workflows.
