I believe in current versions and our future update this will be rectified. > > With premium support on our package fresh desk has been with us every step of the way from our initial configuration and launch to our continuous growth in all directions. They help us provide better data-driven management decisions. All at a price point that is easy to justify. ----- ### "Freshdesk review" — 5.0/5 > **Sim** | *May 20, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It provides value for the money, it is easy to use by user and agents and set up takes no time and UI is good too > > **Cons**: So many bugs in the environment, suddenly stops working without any warnings and need permanent resolution > > Overall provides value for the money, good for small business and gets work done, provide knowledge base and tracking data ----- ### "A great asset for our growing company" — 5.0/5 > **Carissa** | *June 13, 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like Fresh Desk because as a growing company we were finding it hard to manage the volume of customer request we were getting Fresh Desk makes things so much more organized and allows. Our team members to work better together on who’s helped too and get things resolved quickly. > > **Cons**: The only thing I really don’t like about Fresh Desk are the fact that you can’t have part-time team members they have to be the same price as full-time team members and I do find the Support to be a little bit difficult to work with when we’ve needed help with issues > > Overall, I’m really happy that we have Fresh Desk. We use it for both our phone and our email inquiries. It’s made our system for handling customer inquiries so much more organized and provides an easy to find history on past customer tickets. ----- ### "You get what you pay for" — 3.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *December 5, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: When compared to Zendesk which is what we switched from to save money, Freshdesk was much cheaper and our support team found it a bit easier to use. That's where the pros stop, I wish we didn't switch because it really handcuffs my marketing team in regards to what we want to do. > > **Cons**: If you're looking to customize your helpdesk, Freshdesk is not for you. The customization in Freshdesk is very minimal when compared to a Zendesk specifically. I think there are lower cost alternatives to Freshdesk that offer more. > > It really did feel like a big downgrade from Zendesk. I was hoping to be proved wrong in how big of a downgrade it was, but it's quite significant from the onboarding, support, and functionality. If you're just looking for a simple customer support platform on a budget, then Freshdesk is for you. If you're looking for more, you need to spend more. ----- ### "Excellent AI powered platform" — 5.0/5 > **Miriam** | *April 10, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: AI powered modern management platform to track website visitors, easy to use and has chat function embedded > > **Cons**: Was using a free trial. The full membership cost seemed high but I could be convinced with a yearly subscription discount ----- Page: 1 / 140\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/124981/freshdesk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/124981/freshdesk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
