Zammad vs. Freshdesk
Freshdesk is a well-known helpdesk solution. In fact, the company behind it, Freshworks, offers a wide variety of tools, which include Freshsales, Freshmarketer, and Freshservice, and focus on different use cases. Within the separate tools, there are further levels, for example, Freshdesk is split into the Omnichannel Suite, the Support Desk, and the Contact Center, to name but a few.
If this sounds rather confusing, we have an alternative to Freshdesk for you: Zammad, your all-in-one helpdesk and ticketing system. Designed to support any type of communication in any business context, it gives you all the features you need for day-to-day business - regardless of company size or industry.
Zammad is built on experience. In fact, our founder, Martin Edenhofer, is also the brains behind the well-known helpdesk system OTRS, which is a household name in the industry and a true success story. All his knowledge was poured into Zammad, which takes a more modern approach with an intuitive setup and customer-friendly interface.
