Looking for the right Help Desk solution for your business? Buyers are primarily concerned about the real total cost of implementation (TCO), the full list of features, vendor reliability, user reviews, and the pros and cons. In this article we compare between the two software products:
FRESHDESK INC. Vs. Kaseya
FRESHDESK INC.: Freshdesk was built ground-up to make your agents’ lives better. That is why you will find intelligent capabilities out-of-the-box, that automatically categorize, prioritize and dispatch your tickets, and even suggest the best solutions when you get one.
Kaseya: It may seem a bit odd, almost contradictory, for Kaseya to feature an About Us section when everything we do is really about you, not us in the least. Granted, without our IT automation software, your success might not be quite so certain or come so easily, but Kaseya can only take part of the credit.
