As more and more users embrace the power of Freshdesk Analytics, it is time for us to transition away from the legacy Reports module. You must have received an email informing you that the Legacy Reports module will be deprecated on your Freshdesk account by the 15th of October, 2023


With the all-new Freshdesk Analytics, you will spend less time building reports and more time deriving insights and operationalizing the results. With the all-new Analytics capabilities, you can:

  • Monitor helpdesk productivity
  • Measure customer satisfaction
  • Optimize agent workload
  • Improve service efficiency
  • Resolve tickets faster

Here’s how Analytics is better than Legacy Reports with respect to configurations, self-serviceability, data coverage, and sharing capabilities.
