HOOQ - agc 19 Feb 2020: Workflow Automator insights
What do you like best about the product?
Learned that system will run all active workflow automators and from that, we must be aware of the conditions and actions one service workflow will have on the next.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Absence of date check specially in form being filled out
2. Absence of capability to access custom form placeholders and apply them in Admin > Email Notifications
2. Absence of capability to access custom form placeholders and apply them in Admin > Email Notifications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An action from one workflow that resulted on another workflow.
Pretty decent
What do you like best about the product?
The easily understandable UI that FreshService offers overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
The day passes, lack of automation and the recent change in Solutions. The new solutions are very confusing.
The day passes always runs out, and we have to get it every time we run out... which is okay, however, we always get redirected to finance even though we're a client and day passes should be given out easily. Our users need a lot of day passes every day so it is a hassle to direct us to finance every single time we request it.

One of the benefits would be the UI, because users can easily create and see their tickets whenever they need to.
FreshService, lots of great features and with always new functionnalities coming
What do you like best about the product?
It is a well designed tool which is easy to use for our users with a great knowledge base
The admin part is also understable easily
The automator part is very good and allow us to automate a lot of action
The orchestration center allows us to gain in productivity and to save a lot of time by not doing things manually
The inventory is also very useful to store our computers and assets which is very important for us
The integration and links with a lot of tools on the market is impressive and is super to centralize everything in FreshService

What do you dislike about the product?
For the moment I didn't have any bad experiences, I hope it will continue the same way
Maube the customization of the portal is a bit hard for non-developper users but in the end we managed to customize it on our own

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We automated a lot of task using FreshService automator to trigger webhooks that are linked to some PowerShell script. Such as onboarding, mailbox creation/modification/deletion, request for access rights on some enterprise apps with approval by manager
The incident management is easier for everybody than sending lots of emails
The knowledge base is improving the efficiency of our users as they arent wasting time on solving simple problems since they have access to it
The inventory allow us to check for the specs of our users' computer and assets. We know who is using which assets
We also use FreshService to keep all requests from our users in case of audit and we also use it for incoming alert on our infrastructure

Recommendations to others considering the product:
FreshService is a very good tool for both parts (users and administrators). It is easy to implement it and it is user friendly which is very good for our users.
The automation part is very convenient too !

Just want we need for the right price.
What do you like best about the product?
The ticket management and Asset management are what we are taking the most advantage of. There was a dire need for a CMDB with my organization, and this product helped us get up and running quickly. Love that an asset number and barcode are automatically generated!
Love the solutions section, we have been building a robust list of helpful guides for end users and internal agents.
The mobile app is great, to be able to scan a label on a device, and it pop up with all that assets information or just pull up a solution in an instance is very helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
The project management section has potential, while it may be good for internal teams. I would like to see the ability to invite non-agent stakeholders in to view a projects status and make comments. My boss would not be doing anything else to justify purchasing a full blown license or even a day pass.
I would like to be able to add custom fields when customizing my tickets and asset list views. Currently, you can only customize using their pre-defined fields.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The add on for asset label making is quite restrictive, the smallest size is quite large and we've struggled to make it work with printing labels. With limited success we had to print to pdf, export to word and use manual manipulation and scaling settings to get them to print a label sheets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Out of the box, it's easy to setup and get running. The agents and probe make gathering a base list of assets a breeze. Personally, the built in asset creation was a huge plus when leaning between this and other solutions. If you are looking for a simple solution to get your helpdesk up and running ASAP I would highly recommend freshservice.
Easy to setup, easy for users to adopt.
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of getting the service desk setup and ease of creating a ticket from a user perspective.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I can think of, the only thing we need to manage is asset management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT support response, all requests are coming through freshservice.
Excellent tool with functions of legacy industry tools with innovative mindset for rapid growth
What do you like best about the product?
Look and feel of the software makes it intuitive to learn
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited functionality, of which most can be found on other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT Service management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand the missing functionality
Simple and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Getting started was easy and it was easy to find documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
Changing some system settings takes a while to apply. For example, updating the global email settings to have our own reply-to address and to use an outgoing mail server switched the intake email to the freshservice address. It took ~15 minutes to apply.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making ticketing simpler and easier by moving off an engineering ticketing queue. It's been easier and simpler since getting off of Jira.
Great software to help manage our knowledge base and tickets
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean and easy to use. They are continually improving it as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have a hard time understanding how to use some of the features. Their own knowledge base and tutorials could be improved to better help users know how to use some of the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use Freshservice for the knowledge base and ticketing system.
Amazing Software
What do you like best about the product?
Includes everything to manage my IT team
What do you dislike about the product?
it is kind of pricey,lmtd assets allowed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to substitue other project management and ticket systems, besides helping me on getting control of my change management policy, enforce it and improve it, it helped me getting a certification from a bank since we properly manage and document everything that happens in IT
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do take some time to read everything about each of the modules and take some time to plan every preference, from importing contacts correctly, to setting up a proper hierarchy and establishing business rules, this would make your experience even greater, the recommended setup is great, but when you go ahead and discover each feature of the platform, you'll realize it can get you even more benefits.
Great Support and Very Intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
The support for Freshservice is second to none. Any issues we report are resolved very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to have autofilled people if they are in a team of 1.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Love the automatic solutions that will pop up when you type a subject.
