Freshdesk Contact Center vs. Zoom Phone

One of FreshDesk Contact Center's greatest strengths is that it can centralize all of a company's channels for communicating with customers. Additionally, you get access to a large number of free collaborators seats, enabling you to bring on board non-customer support team members who may play an indirect role in handling client concerns. Offering an omnichannel experience to our staff and consumers eliminates the need to juggle numerous tools for handling customer service issues. In addition, we may direct customer service interactions like tickets, chats, and phone calls according to predetermined guidelines.

I think it works well for offices that have multiple locations. Being able to give each person and office their own extension makes it easier for colleagues to connect with each other, plus it's a costs savings for each of the offices

• Routes parent request directly to our admin department
• Allows you to set up chats
• Allows you to measure how well you are doing

• Transcribes voicemails. Great for those verbose folks that leave long voicemails.
• Loud and clear volume quality! Great in a busy office with lots of people talking.
• Easy to keep track of who has called me. Has Caller ID which is helpful.

• The UX and UI could use an upgrade.
• The process could be better when importing a hard line into the system.
• We could use more additional reporting features.

• We needed to link each of our team members' personal emails to the Zoom account so we have to filter VM notifications out of our personal accounts.
• It'd be nice if you could set business hours through the webpage to include a lunch break so that you don't have to manually go in to edit.

It's a really simple and affordable software solution if you're looking to upgrade your system or processes to a softphone. The service has been fantastic for both our outbound sales team and our inbound customer service team. As a manager, I'm really grateful I found FreshCaller early on in the process of evaluating companies to go to for a softphone.

Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call.

Freshcaller support is great. They will respond very quickly once I submit a ticket. On occasion, they are unable to answer a question and require a deep dive on some research for random questions but that's completely understandable. Overall, great service, great quality, and very accommodating. This is one of the better support groups, in my opinion.

Support have been great during the time for implementing Zoom Phones to our team of 50 people. There were times where they kept supporting us through links but more and more we had actual people getting back to us via emails so we are very happy overall. The product is so great, too.

We selected Freshdesk Contact Center because it proved to be easier to use not only for us but for the parents who call our school as well. Our parent complaints of not being able to reach our admin department have significantly decreased. I think Freshdesk Contact Center stacks up against Cisco in that the ease of use is better and the price is more efficient.

Price point was about the same but Zoom included more features for the price. Also the ISO mobile app was better. We were also about to drop Calendly and save some money using the native Zoom app.

• Overpriced for what it offered - we paid nearly $600/month for 10 users. Could not drop them fast enough for this reason alone.

Incentivized

• Zoom Workplace has had a positive effect on out business by combining meetings and phones in one place.
• The collaboration has been better with our staff being hybrid.
• The Zoom Workplace platform has been more that I expected to pay, but the customer service is outstanding.
