Customer Relations Advisor at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
The API is powerful.
Valuable Features:
- Email/ticket handling.
- Custom email server option.
- Knowledge base framework is really good, but not quite as customizable visually as Zendesk.
- Also, the Freshdesk API is so powerful... We can do basically anything we can think when it comes to ticket handling.
Improvements to My Organization:
Our customer service is built around it, and has been for years. We've grown with it, so it's hard to say how it "improved" our operations. It's all we've known. I'd hate to be without it.
Room for Improvement:
Localization needs to be implemented. No option for other languages at this point in the knowledge bases. Customer service used to be fantastic, but seems to be slipping a bit as they grow larger. Still good though.

Mobile Developer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Setup is simple with the MobiHelp SDK, credentials from Freshdesk, and some codes. However, I want to see it integrated with C# for Android in the next version.
What is most valuable?
Aside from sending a ticket to client, it can also send an image. You can add custom data such as the IMEI, location, or any other information you want to include to the image.
How has it helped my organization?
It helps with having faster communication and actions from the client.
What needs improvement?
I want to see it integrated with C# for Android in the next version, as it is currently only integrated for Java.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used it for almost three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have encountered lots of issues from observations of our QA. Some issues we face are concatenated (new line) as it displays '=0' and differences between line spaces, but they immediately fixed those issues.
We're still waiting for resolutions for others, such not being able to recover lost data or tickets. For example, if I logout and login again, here's a delay with sending and receiving ticket, and it can't be integrated into our app in C#.
How are customer service and technical support?
8/10 - since they are always active and take actions if possible.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
As we are still waiting for some features which are supposed to be in the next release, we have built our own APK.
How was the initial setup?
It is simple and easy to use. All you need is the MobiHelp SDK, the credentials that they will give to you, and some codes.
What about the implementation team?
If you are an Android Java developer, it's easy for you to implement this product in a day, or possibly less.

Head - Customer Support Desk with 51-200 employees
The ready-to-use reports are a valuable feature, but the overall look of it could be improved.
Valuable Features:
Chat, Customer Satisfaction survey, ready-to-use reports
Improvements to My Organization:
Through chats we now connect with a bigger audience and satisfaction surveys have allowed us to know clients' points of view in a better way.
Room for Improvement:
Improvement can be done with the overall look, and fields like Query Type can be shown at the home page itself.
