Reviews
(1-2 of 2)Freshdesk Fever
Freshdesk allows us to have a streamlines process for the typical requests (access to eOLF, the application to file patent applications; or access to MyPage to review a portfolio or make payments) or for generic questions.
- just sending an e-mail opens a ticket
- attachments can easily be added to 'canned responses' (standard letters)
- easy to get statistics
- feedback can be easily asked after the ticket has been resolved
- creating canned responses takes time since copying a word document always gives some errors in the layout, which needs to be corrected a bit with trial and error
- once the name has been fixed of your site, it is hard to change it (a migration process needs to be agreed to copy the tickets, but portal info cannot be copied)
So: I do not know of a better product at the market that works so good for that pricing.
When integrations with internal databases are necessary, it might not be so appropriate.

Also a dedicated account manager is assigned (if needed). In practice we rarely need to contact him.
In case we had any question, we could simply open a ticket with Freshdesk and the next day we already had an answer.
