   Does what it says on the box

   Freshdesk provides a free helpdesk system so we can manage our support tickets. They have the feature that allows us to send emails through our own email address (vs using their own email address), and an app that works well to respond and organize tickets.

   My biggest gripe with the service is that they are missing a feature that HelpScout has, where we can reply directly to the notification email and that reply gets sent to the customer. With freshdesk, we have to log into their portal or use the app in order to send a reply.

   🏁 Competitors: HelpScout, Zendesk

   👍 Pros:    Straightforward|Free basic plan

   👎 Cons:    Missing a feature

   Excellent Ticketing software with clean interface

   What I like the most is that it really is very intuitive and easy to use. It helps to control the tracking of every ticket in a easy way. Also one can import its customers without any problem. It has many other tools that can be useful regardless the item which company is using on day to day basis. It can start a live chat with the user and can go straight creating a ticket from this internment. Ticket tracking and escalation matrix enables company to track and manages customer complaints on time.

   🏁 Competitors: Zendesk, Jira Service Desk, Vision Helpdesk

   👍 Pros:    Easy user interface|Multiple channels|Knowledge base|Customer support|Highly customizable

   👎 Cons:    Need more image manipulation feature

   April 2020 Inexpensive Customer Service Software

   Previous to using Zoho, we were managing all our CS in our email inbox. Items were getting lost or forgotten about and it was driving me crazy. Zoho has an excellent suite of products and this one is no exception! Easy to use (the basics at least). And, it's very inexpensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud

   👍 Pros:    Easy user interface|Great customer support|Highly customizable

   👎 Cons:    Few features are in beta

   Previous to using Zoho, we were managing all our CS in our email inbox. We used Zoho Desk when starting out when we needed a way to manage customer support outside of email. Zoho Desk is a basic customer support software - great that there is a free version for starting out.

   🏁 Competitors: Zendesk

   👍 Pros:    Easy to handel software setup|Easy to use interface|Automation and custom functions|24/7 support (chat and phone)

• Beware, read carefully and make conclusions

  Since Freewallet is a quite small company they outsource their "support" from this Indian startup the communication is quite complicated. If the company doesn't want to spend more money in order to hire a good support engineer, and instead prefers to save some money by going offshore. Then this companies' customers swill suffer. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• By Crayons and For Crayons

  The below is a demo of the Crayons Playground in action. It shows how to build the user interface by dragging and dropping components, updating their properties, testing them in a Code sandbox like JSFiddle, check the generated HTML code and finally download the project as a Marketplace app. You can also see the app in action in the Freshdesk product. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Here's how I'd figure out the go-to-market for a Customer Support SaaS

  My way of doing marketing starts with figuring out what my overall project will (or will not) be. In this case, I looked at the vendors like Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, or Help Scout. They all have whizbang features such as live-chat, collaboration stuffs, automations and workflows. They bill per contact and addons. I’d emphasize a straightforward, fuss-free angle instead. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago
