Too much to take
up at once

Advanced tools tend to go overboard. Freshdesk help desk has a lot of elements to set up, and that can be cumbersome. You're here to support, not to wonder if a feature is essential and will work properly for your purpose.

We’ve used Salesforce, Zendesk, Groove and others. With HelpDesk, we’re able to manage tickets in a clean and visually minimal environment.
