What do you dislike about the product?
1) Can't connect the assets to the service request information in the reporting section (all-in-one report) you can only see how many service requests per assets without the details of each asset
2) Can't have more than 2 dynamic fields
3) Can't copy-paste some elements of the workflow
4) Can't delete certain fields in the left area as it is meant for IT purposes (ex: category which is IT related)
5) Can't highlight information in a service request - Only at the top
6) In a Service Request, you can't have multiple Service Items in one workflow otherwise it doesn't get trigger
7) While updating a ticket in a Service Request, the workflows don't get trigger from changing an answer from yes to no for example

There's a couple of processes that need to be done in a certain way, which weren't obvious to me. So sometimes I'd have to contact support to find the right way to do things.

Best of breed solution with api support.
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using FreshService as our ticketing and asset system for the last 6 months, and it's the best we have seen in this area. We have used other products like Salesforce (Saas) and ManageEngine, which are good in their own right, but are a little bit clunky and overly complicated to set up. Getting a good workflow for our day to day needs was simple, and the data that we get from FreshService helps us to improve our services to our organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the api's have a limited number of requests from standard levels, this is good as it forces you to write better integration code. But in those instances where you need to do an additional call per asset this quickly consumes the hourly limit, the limits are quite small if you have a lot of users/ computers.
One other area that is not so great is the integration between Active Directory for assets. In the system the last logged in user is recorded, but this is based on SamAccountName and not display or Given and Surnames, this means when dealing with users there is additional work to lookup the last know user. Not an issue if you use first and last names in your samaccountnames in active directory, the solution for us is to create a custom field and the populate this with the users name do that our helpdesk can see the last logged in user without going to active directory.

Using the support Portal we have increased our user engagement in our organisation, we also implemented an Improvement Request process which allows the creation of a different type of request other than an incident, these help us to improve our systems and services. The data that we get from the reports also show us where we should invest in our organisation, the problems that we are always solving and the systems that keep us busy. It helps management to decide which problems we need to tackle going forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at how templating and the data points (reporting and custom views) can improve the workflows for your business/organisation.
