Before you switch support teams off Freshdesk
Support migrations get ugly when tickets, automations, and inbox routing are an afterthought. Use the shortlist above to compare operational fit, not just agent seats.
- Export ticket history, customer fields, macros, and knowledge-base content before the move starts.
- Check SLA rules, round-robin or skills-based routing, and email forwarding with live support scenarios.
- Rebuild your top automations and reporting views first; the long tail can wait until after launch.
- Train agents on the new workflow before cutover so customers are not paying for the learning curve.
