About Freshservice

Freshservice is a cloud-based IT Help Desk and service management solution that enables organizations to simplify their IT operations. The solution offers features that include a ticketing system, self-service portal and knowledgebase. The solution also provides a mobile app for iOS and Android that allows IT administrators to service requests remotely.

Freshservice provides ITIL-ready components that help administrators manage assets, incidents, problems, change and releases. The Asset Management component helps organizations exercise control over their IT assets. Software/ hardware assets can be added, tagged, tracked and delinked, ensuring asset visibility and awareness.

Freshservice also offers a gamification module called "Arcade". This module enables IT agents to score points and gamify IT related tasks. The solution allows administrators to generate pre-defined reports for incidents and changes using various filters. Freshservice can be integrated with third-party apps for managing the service desk. It is available on an annual subscription basis that includes support via email and phone.

Freshservice is worth a look into

Pros:

The ease of use. Was super easy to get set up and the support is excellent. We have loved the asset management system being able to tie it to tickets a purchase orders, that's been a big help when accounting asks where assets went. It has also streamlined our onboarding process.

Cons:

There are some minor ui issues, and running reports can be a hassle to get the data you are looking for.

Pros:

The ability to easily gather tickets, generate reports, and manage assets is wonderful. Being able to link certain assets to trouble tickets and track expenses helps us track down reoccuring problems with ease. Email ticket submission has greatly increased communication with the tech staff and teachers.

Cons:

The higher tiers get very expensive, especially as you pay by agent. Some features are only available at the highest tier.

Freshservice Delivers a Great Product at a Good Price

Freshservice is one of the best IT ticketing systems I've used overall, and is integral to our IT team's workday.

Functionality

Pros:

Ticket management, automations, integration with change management and asset association with users. Entra integration was easy and it's great to have a system that can both build users, and import them automatically into Freshservice when created.

Cons:

RMM integrations are lackluster, hopefully the Device42 acquisition will change that, as we would love to get off Atera and have a more unified system. Some bugs that cause annoying alerts to be generated. Workflow Automator could be improved greatly both from a UI and workflow standpoint.

Best ticketing system we have used to date!

Freshservice has been a strong and reliable ITSM platform for our organization. It has enabled us to standardize processes, automate repetitive work, and scale support across multiple departments with a lean team. While there is a learning curve for advanced features, the overall value and stability of the platform have exceeded expectations.

FreshService - A Clean and Modern Service Solution

Freshservice has been a fantastic ticketing and service management solution. There are regular updates to keep it modern, and the UI is clean, responsive, and intuitive. With years of experience in many ticketing systems, Freshservice feels the most modern out of any of them.

Functionality

Pros:

Freshservice has a very clean UI that is easy and intuitive to navigate. The webpage also has live update notifications which is extremely useful for closely monitoring tickets. When an update is posted on a ticket, even without refreshing you will see a notification regarding it and linking you to the ticket. Another useful live updating feature is the ability to see what other agents are currently viewing or editing a ticket. This solves the age-old issue 2 agents trying to edit a ticket at the same, or hesitating to update a ticket thinking another agent is already working on it. I've also found the extensibility of the product to be quite useful. We've granularized our request system to include specific requests with built in tasks lists for common requests (Employee onboarding, Software Installation Request, etc.), as well as the general ticketing system. We've added approval groups to notify the proper people streamlining repetitive tasks. There are great reporting features built-in as well, providing clean overviews of important KPI's like first-touch resolution, first response time, and time to resolution. These reports can be customized to filter based on a plethora of criteria. The pricing also has as consistent model that isn't overly expensive.

Cons:

Frankly I haven't encountered any issues with Freshservice yet. There has been a single instance of downtime this year, and it was minor and resolved relatively quickly.

Reasons for choosing Freshservice

The pricing was better, and the sales support was more responsive.

Reasons for switching to Freshservice

We experienced many issues with FootPrints ranging from portal responsiveness, ease of use, and clarity for the users.

FreshService as a Support Portal

Easy to use, not cheap, but cost effective, and very extensible. Their account management and support teams are also quick to respond.

Functionality

Pros:

- Easy to setup and administer - Can customize easily through self-service configuration - Custom workflows can easily be incorporated with plugins - Large marketplace of integrations - Multiple brand/product support - ITSM automation to automate/perform managed services, not only internal IT. - Customer portal is easy to maintain.

Cons:

API limitations around QoS need to be better documented. New accounts can easily get locked if API usage is high. Is very much an ITSM system and my product support use-case isn't FreshWorks main target.

Reasons for choosing Freshservice

Ability to create custom plugins, price.

Reasons for switching to Freshservice

To consolidate systems to provide better visibility to internal teams.

Great value for money

Pros:

The interface is easy to use, making it easy for me to delegate tasks to workspace admins for them to manage their own setup. The automation engine is also a great tool considering the price. In my experience, the team at Freshworks has been supportive whenever I needed them.

Cons:

In some areas, like the visible fields, I would like some more options for customizing it. Several apps/add-ins (such as the Intune integration) is still lacking compared to competition and appears unstable.
