Find out what your peers are saying about Qualtrics, Freshworks, ServiceNow and others in Customer Experience Management."Freshdesk has allowed us to measure and track the response and resolution time of tickets which has been reduced from seven to eight hours down to 30 minutes to one hour."
"The user experience on the platform itself is fantastic. The UI is clean and uncluttered, so it's easy to find any information about your customer or the issue at hand. You can find out the person responsible for that particular issue, what the problem is, who the stakeholders are, and how to resolve it. There are lots of tools that will help you do that as well."
"The UI is easy to use."
"There is the option to create different roles for specific users. We make use of groups for each customer service team which has been very effective. We are able to apply different sets of rules for each group which determines how they interact with customers and escalate issues."
"Its simplicity is most valuable. It is easy and simple, and it requires negligible training effort. I don't spend all my time goofing around trying to find stuff in the ticketing system."
"The most valuable features of Freshdesk are the automation of tickets to assign them to different agents, and the managing of documents is easy."
"It's easy to use and integrates with other tools. We can embed Jira into it, link Jira tickets with Freshdesk tickets, and use it for our knowledge base."
"The organization that is possible with other departments is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools."
"The feature I like best in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is being able to market to segments instead of choosing individual people to market to."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it is a low-code platform and we can perform business process management."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"We are able to effectively follow up on requests, ensuring all customer issues are resolved in a timely manner. This solution provides a platform where there is visibility of all customer interactions, with efficient follow-up."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"The solution is scalable."
"It should enhance its service and its reporting capabilities."
"Freshdesk could improve its capabilities. It's missing the article formatting, and the overall look and feel make it not easy to use. The administration instructions on how to manage the automation, capability, and integration with third parties, such as chat or bots, are very important in these types of solutions."
"There are a few things we have asked for, like a forward button. When a ticket comes in, we forward it, but it doesn't sync up with the forward. That is the one they have to rework. The other is when we forward the ticket, it doesn't go all, or certain things don't go with it. We have told them about it, and they are working on it. It would be better if they gave us a more standard reporting template. Although they already have some, many aren't usable. It would be easier if we had more templates to work with."
"Asset management and branding are two areas in the solution that have scope for improvement."
"While it's good for a small number of tickets, definitely in the future, we will require something more powerful."
"I would like to see improvements in the account management aspect, having a customer portal for better visibility into my subscription, invoices, and trouble tickets."
"Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users."
"I would like on-the-go translation,"
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making it easier to export data to SharePoint because most of our customers use SharePoint. They have to log into a Microsoft environment platform from their SharePoint for access should be made easier. Additionally, if the customer portal was enhanced for it to be customized it would be a benefit."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve the integration with the other system. If they have more flexibility to connect with another system it will be more effective."
"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."
"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
