cyberpedz Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi all just wondering if anyone uses freshdesk for support management rather than whmcs. I have always used whmcs but now that i am looking to add a support agent to the team i am looking at other options. Freshdesk looks so much nicer in terms of layout and its functions for support but i do wonder about the hopping to and fro between the two. At least with WHMCS you have all the customer and billing data all in one place with the support tickets as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is modules from modules garden that says will get the process more friendly and integrated, but what about 150 USD/year https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/2998-freshdesk-for-whmcs And plus that been paying fresh desk at some point as usually those free plan at some point could not meet all your needs... If those cosmetic and layout is important and justify paying more dollar, sky is the limit. Personal I really like the fact having all in one place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Isn't Freshdesk a remotely hosted (SAAS) system? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cenourinha Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Take a look at SupportPal. They have a nice WHMCS integration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolve Web Hosting Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I would also suggest SupportPal. Great software and great team to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManagedCloud-Hosting Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I would suggest Vision Helpdesk, we had been using it since 2011 without any issues and lot's of features. Awesome Support... Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 SupportPal. Has integration with WHMCS. In fact the only one that does. Self hosted, support is incredible and the release new features with updates. Stuff that you didn't even know you'd benefit from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 My concern is the remotely hosted bit. We often have passwords and other sensitive info handled via support, and that in third party hands is concerning. Not for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where we have our customers enter passwords and other sensitive information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Supportpal can be hosted locally, meaning you have control over the data. It was Freshdesk I was referring to, as it's SAAS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altomarketing Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Try Zammad or Chatwoot , both enterprise grade open source self-hosted solutions. 😁 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicklug Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 What's your opinion on who's better between Zammad or Chatwoot? Would like to learn more, thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I after a week of installing and using both, they are good choices, but i notice: chatwoot is more focused in chats ( multichannel) great community in github great future as opensource Zammad is more focused in tickets. https://zammad.org/screenshots is a company with an opensource version, check zammad.org vs zammad.com requires a bigger VPS to deploy Both are great. If you have low resources and your customers are not tech experts, maybe you can try osticket , old fashioned but still a good opensource ticket system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashawummery Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I like it, I have clients that always send me text messages and it is a nightmare to keep track of their requests. Now I have to get them to look at email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact we got news for their team they are launching chat tool as well so all should work for us from one location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManagedCloud-Hosting Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Hi @webhostinguk yes I heard they might be launching a chat tool as they seem to use it under production with their website. It's a welcome move as teams can work together using a single dashboard... All thanks to Team Vision Helpdesk...
