Freshdesk Support Completely Unresponsive

This is going to be a little bit rant-y, but I’m very frustrated with Freshdesk Support.

 

I have submitted 2 different support tickets to Freshdesk support requesting help with a variety of issues over the last 7 days and have currently heard nothing on either one.

 

This is particularly frustrating because on day 5 I resubmitted the first ticket to freshsales support instead and received multiple responses plus a resolution within 24 hours. Presumably these are two different team of people who are likely working completely remote from each other but the Freshdesk support is frankly bordering on embarrassing at this point.

 

Not to mention I now have a third open ticket that appears to be intended for an internal sales agent to reach out to us and try to up-sell or otherwise “close the upgrade” in our plan. I can’t tell if whoever is running that support is clueless or what is going on but if our company wasn’t so set on using Freshdesk this would definitely be enough to get us to consider an alternative.

 

Even the free plans should be eligible for “24x5 support” so unless I’m misunderstanding what that means this feels like a pretty critical failure on Freshdesk to uphold their basic, front page promises.

 

We also shouldn’t be receiving tickets for internal agents while also not receiving any actual responses or information from the actual support team.

 

 

I’ve seen a few other related posts, but they are primarily older so I presume this is not a common issue but I’m annoyed enough I made an account on this forum just to try and get through to someone at freshdesk support.

 

Any help or advice? Is this just an anomaly or do I just need to go through freshsales support for all future freshdesk support?

Likewise, I’ve signed up to  to due to the very poor FreshDesk support experience, as I’m still battling with this. 

It took more than 2 months to upgrade an existing account to Freshdesk Omni in the last 3 months. During that time, it took at least a month for tickets to be moved between teams, particularly the billing team - the actual technical work took around 24 hours to be completed once someone was assigned to do the actual work. 

For reference, we have been with FreshWorks for around 5 years as a mid-level tier customer. We aren’t signing up for a new trial, etc. If we weren’t already heavily invested in the platform we certainly would be looking elsewhere. 

From what I can tell, the product team is somewhat responsive, account management could care less, the billing team appears to have a 5 day SLA to even respond to anything. Ironic that the worst service I’ve ever received from any online service is from a customer service specialist company. 

Best of Luck.

I am really surprised to hear about these situations since my experiences with support have been outstanding. I generally receive quick responses and offers to remotely work with me if we cannot resolve a question/issue within 3 emails. In my experience the support has been top shelf.
