Outstanding service
What do you like best about the product?
Fast response and agility of support representatives.
What do you dislike about the product?
3-rd party partner of Freshservice was a bit hard to deal with. But I believe it's not FreshService's fault.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We get a platform where we can communicate with end customers through various channels.
FreshService is a great tool
What do you like best about the product?
The look and feel of the application and the fact that the team is constantly updating/upgrading new features. The fact you can configure automation and forms as your desire easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool sometimes limits you from customizing in a "smarter" way of creating forms. And in the asset management, a lot of entities are still not linked. As a result one should enter the same information in multiple fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FreshService allowed our company to use ITIL as it should be. The easy way to handle tickets, problems, changes and releases gave our company the opportunity to better administrate requests and incidents.
Furthermore, the analytics is a great tool to have a better overview of all data.

Easy to setup and great technical support when needed
What do you like best about the product?
It has allowed us to collate all of our helpdesk requests into one location that was easy to setup and adopted well by our end users.
The layout is clean and straight forward to follow and being built around the ITIL framework allows you to manage a busy IT Helpdesk (including Change and Project Management) effectively.
Also the ability to have many different communication channels as standard without having to pay for the common ones is a huge bonus.

What do you dislike about the product?
The higher paid plans tend to get the better and newer features (as you would expect) whilst the lower tier don't.
It would be great if Freshworks were more flexible on the plans, allow us to take some higher tier features and bring them down to the plan we are on, or even allow for custom plans.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More visibility on problems within the business including being able to track recurring issues for deeper dive investigations. It allows us to identify problem equipment, software and processes allowing us to look at changes as needed, whether that includes replacement equipment or retraining of staff.
The mental wellbeing of the team has improved, they are now only contacted directly in events of Emergency and not for every minute little problem. Being able to triage work by having a clear overview has allowed the team to respond more effectively.

Great product. Great support.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, the function to email users or agents from within the ticket makes getting help or second eyes very easy.
Having had bad experiences of web based call logging systems in the past, I was worried about the performance but it's snappy and highly configurable.

Couldn't work without Freshservice
What do you like best about the product?
Freshservice combines all the functionality you need to run a service desk from a single portal.
With the ticketing system, you are always on top of any issues the business may be experiencing.
The CMDB makes it easy to keep track of your assets. With the ability to link the tickets to assets, we can identify which assets have been causing issues over time and can replace them before they become an issue again.
The solutions area is very useful for keeping information for both technicians and end users.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some functions we have asked for which are not on the Freshservice roadmap. One example would be the ability to turn a managed asset into an unmanaged one, whilst retaining all the previous information within it.
Apart from that, there is no other issues I have with Freshservice

Fantastic Ticket System for Companies with ITIL based Help Desk!
What do you like best about the product?
Freshservice is a very easy to use ticketing system which is scalable and reliable for tracking break/fix issues as well as projects. Another area in which it shines is the tracks change managements as well as assets all in on platform. Yes there are other ticket systems out there which mimic the same functionality however the way Freshservice organizes its information within the portal makes it easy for agents as well as administrators and supervisors to see the influx of incidents coming in. Freshservice also has a great built in feature for ticket agents to track their ticket throughput with achievements. Its a small but mighty feature to incentive help desk agents to get through tickets. Finally where this product truly shines is with integration. We are able to link Freshservice without company chat tool which allows us to program bots that will alert us via instant message when urgent issues arrise. Very dependable product!
What do you dislike about the product?
There arent many downsides to Freshservice as it is an ever evolving platform however sometimes when configuring ticket flows or work flows it can get a little confusing as to what you're doing however they offer great support who ready to jump on and help you configure whatever you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Freshservice being deployed to our company we were able to ditch our in house ticket system which was a pain to maintain and very costly and time wasting. Also we are able to do much more than track break fix incidents, we are able to manage all of our inventory within the portal allowing us to get away from other assest management softwares. It saves us time and money when we can integrate everything within one portal and it allows us to track everything seemlessly. We are also able to conduct change management through Freshservice using their built in change calendar and approval processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If anyone out there is looking to switch to a new ticket system or go to a cloud based ticket system, definitely consider Freshservice when evaluating.
fast and efficient solution
What do you like best about the product?
straight forward and quick to deploy, its easy to get a service desk, asset management etc rolled out with not much effort. automatic emails to agents and clients is good too.
What do you dislike about the product?
its fast and straight forward BUT its not 100% configurable like some service desk solutions BUT the last of being 100% configurable means that for most of the users its straight forward and little to no stress to deploy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managed solutions, internal service desk
