Dislike

1. I cannot use calling for international numbers through this service. Neither can I have international agents sign up using this service. It limits our ability to use this feature globally. 2. Integration with Freshdesk is very limited. I am not able to send customer satisfaction response to a ticket field in Freshdesk. 3. Reports are limited. If I want to do analysis regarding which agent spent most/least time on calls or slice call data by different cuts, it is not readily available for me on the tool. I have to download csv files and perform my own data cuts through excel.
