Phases

  1. Export

    Take Zoho Desk as the source of truth for this pair. Export custom objects; call and voice logs; synced email and calendar links; workflow rules; saved reports; installed marketplace apps; AI assistant configuration; records for the catalog use cases: accounts. A full helpdesk at Zoho prices — Zia AI sitting on tickets, not a new category.

  2. Map

    Load into Freshdesk only after the field map is written down. Broad helpdesk from Freshworks — cheaper seats, wider suite. Zoho Desk is flagged for custom objects. Freshdesk is not, so the map is a redesign rather than a field-for-field copy.

  3. Prove a sample

    Freshdesk scores 7/10 on speed to live and 6/10 on migration friendliness. Run one sample load and one report the team already uses in Zoho Desk before a full cutover.

  4. Cut over

    Zoho Desk scores 6/10 on migration friendliness and is marked medium difficulty in the catalog. Keep Zoho Desk readable until the team is working in Freshdesk. Zoho Desk is the value incumbent: ticketing, omnichannel, SLAs, and Zia in a suite that already includes CRM. It is what many mid-market teams run instead of Zendesk. It is not an AI-native agent platform. Confirm current editions on Zoho’s site.
