    For a typical technical support help desk use case Freshdesk Omni is great! It has the advanced features of automating responses and canned answers where appropriate. The AI functionality seems good but not something we are leveraging at this point given the volume of tickets.

    [It's] well suited for cloud support applications as there's no installation or maintenance required.

    Pros
    Freshworks Inc
    • When an agent receives a call via Dialpad or Amazon Connect, Freshdesk Omni automatically displays relevant customer details, previous interactions, and ticket history in a single view.
    • Every call (answered, missed, or voicemail) is automatically logged into Freshdesk as a ticket, including details like call duration, customer number, and agent notes.
    • Agents can initiate outbound calls directly from Freshdesk using click-to-call functionality, reducing manual dialing errors and saving time.

    • Its ability to switch between tickets, assets, etc., is a little clunky. A static menu bar would be helpful.
    • The ability to see the latest update in the ticket view.

    1) Price is also a point to decide, other Service Providers were providing similar features but the prices were slightly on a higher side. 2) Coming to feature comparison, JIRA offers whole lot of other features but currently we did not require them and Zoho had few less features comparing to Freshworks

    When looking for solutions for our business, I personally looked at Aautotask. I am not the decision maker so I don't know what my boss looked at in full. Autotask seems good. It looked like it got a bit complicated and may be for very large enterprise customers. Just lots of features that we don't need.

    Return on Investment
    Freshworks Inc
    • Our customers often give feedback to closed tickets to track satisfaction scores
    • Customers appreciate the value of viewing their tickets in the customer portal
    • We save time by having a single source system to interact with our customers and track issue history.

    • As a single freelance consultant Sherpadesk has exceptional ROI because it's free but if my company had more support people I would definetly go with SherpaDesk again.
