It a platform that allows us to keep track of the service we provide to all our customers. We dont use it for IT or ITIL, but the platform its super friendly and enable us to do so much more.. Also i like that freshdesk is part of the culture of our company, everyone has freshservice open in the browser all the time, its fundamental

the workflow could be more coplex, its not a BPM, so is not a big deal. Also ticket forms are quite simple, with no chance of modification
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are not solving problems, whe dont use ITIL in this softwere, but we use it for so much more. We are a business school and we use it for Registrar Office, Campus & Hospitality, Food service, IT, Process Department, Legal Department, the posibilities are endless

Freshservice Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Fast response time and accurate agents :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much to dislike really, we use the tool ourselves at work, it's perfect to keep up with tickets in this ststem
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly ICT problems as we are an ICT service department. We can get an accurate description of how many issues have emerged because of a change thanks to the flexible way catagories can be set up
Recommendations to others considering the product:
fast, easy and reliable to setup and in day to day use.
Very good incident management
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to track tickets and the issues. Easy to distribute work, and very easy to track progress. Great automation rules, which work while you sleep.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to add here. Main thing would be to add support chat option back.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Incident management as primary, and enhancements tracking as secondary. Main benefit is saving time, we were able to get more organized around the ticket itself.
Overall, good web product, but mobile app requests are years behind.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple incident and request tracker. Good analytics and reporting. Extended archive and storage accessibility of past tickets (2+ yrs).
What do you dislike about the product?
My only complaint so far, being a user for over 3yrs, is with the mobile app. I'm an Android user, so I can't speak for iOS users. I put in a request over a year ago for the ability to access our custom tags for tickets. Still don't see it. We use our custom tags for more granularity in our metrics and management reporting. This is not a big deal since smartphone browsers can now access full websites. Just would think FS developers would address this by now. So until then, I avoid using the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshservice solves our problem of incident tracking and user support requests management. We also use it for change management and project tracking within our department.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very simple Saas application to stand up in your environment. Just pay for agent licenses.
Very quick to respond to my request
What do you like best about the product?
They knew exactly what the issue was and it was resolved in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had a few issues with FreshService however the problems have always been resolved in a timely manner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to run a lot of reports on the team for senior management, and find the built in reports are quick and easy to use.
Just plain easy and not too heavy on the ITIL
What do you like best about the product?
I just works. It's a system that is easily configurable from anywhere. It has all the big modules of ITIL (Incident, Change) covered very well and some of the smaller ones represented in a lite format (Contracts, Vendor Management). We have not had a business requirement that we have not been able to meet in some form or other, without getting too creative. The customer experience is excellent in the form of the portal and our comms with our customers is so much easier now.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I would complain about is the child ticket representation in Service Requests. Needs some work there to better hide subsets requests of the main ticket from the portal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy of configuration, overhead with old premise based solution, pleasing UX for the customers, mobile app and responsive website.
Freshservice Has Made a Huge Impact at Our Organization
What do you like best about the product?
Freshservice is customizable and allows for flexibility in notifications, ticket routing, approval workflow. This has allowed our company to make modifications to the system easily, as the business needs have changed throughout the 2 years we have owned the product. Their support team is extremely helpful and responsive and I typically receive a response within minutes when a ticket is submitted for support.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about Freshservice. Our IT organization is very happy with this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, our organization had a very basic ticketing system that did not allow end users to track the status of their ticket and the system itself did not have many efficiencies. Today we use Freshservice to route IT support tickets to the various groups within our organization which has allowed for quicker resolution. We have also used Freshservice to distinguish between Incident and Service Requests. Finally, Freshervice provide great reporting and analytics that I use as a manager to manage the team and to provide metrics to my management team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an affordable solution that can change the way your IT organization manages tickets, change management, software inventory, contracts, and overall customer satisfaction, then Freshservice is the tool you want. I have used other ITIL based solutions that were either too costly or too complicated to configure. Freshservice can be implemented in just a days.
Great service and smooth experience
What do you like best about the product?
The response was prompt and tool is very easy to be used and is flexible to explore many aspects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not find anything wrong or shortfall so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to automate some of the onboarding requests which are being handled manually today. Going forward we want to give automated experience to the users and we're trying to explore webhook triggers for same.
Super-maluable Service Desk Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to insert dynamic content (HTML, images, etc) into FRESHSERVICE replies and notes is a must-have for our organization.
Another must-have for us is the ability to streamline our accounting and time-tracking processes. FRESHSERVICE integrates with many third-party services via API or OAUTH which has made it a great fit for our time-tracking and accounting solutions.

What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to select a range tickets/ incidents from a list make it really challenging to mass-close items (like automated notifications that we ingest from our RMM, backup and other maintenance solutions).
Integrations with other FRESHWORKS products are not single-pane-of-glass as you would expect, making it necessary to look outside of FRESHWORKS products for stronger Project Management, CRM and other line of business applications.
Automated ticket sorting and handling is constantly being adjusted, but has always left something to be desired. It's often unclear how (or if) incidents are being handled.
The G SUITE DRIVE plugin is unpredictable. It alerts ticket requester, even when a DRIVE file is attached to a private note.
We would like to see clearer G SUITE Contact integration and real-time updates of contact data between G SUITE and FRESHSERVICE.
