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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have supported more than 40 individual firms with 150+ users since implementing FRESHSERVICE. Our time is tracked by way of a third-party integration (that we give a 7 out of 10).
The audit trail is easy to follow and makes it clear what was worked-on or completed, when.
We provide full-service Managed Services, IT Consulting and Project Management to a range of clients in many industries and this solution is easy enough for every user to use.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's pretty easy to setup. Follow the playbooks for Administrators and Users provided in the Support FAQ and it's a great start.
Freshservice is great!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is intuitive! I spend a lot of my time in the solutions article area and it's nice to move around there with a really good idea re: where I can find things.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the HTML editor for solutions article was a little friendlier. To name a new specifics here, it'd be great if your cursor stayed in the same place for both article and HTML view (if the cursor was placed in front of a word, it would remain there regardless of what view. And if in the HTML view, there was some formatting that would be preserved when switching back between the views.
Some version or history tracking of articles would be nice too.
This is a small thing, but it would be nice if the folder icon in the solutions page was an actual folder. Resizing images in solutions articles could be a little easier as well.

ITSM tool Like no other
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use functionality in freshservice is brilliant! You can practically implement the tool without a huge professional services cost thereby reducing overall cost of ownership and ROI.
What do you dislike about the product?
the support service is terribly poor. Especially the chat support channel. Sometimes it takes numerous hours before an agent responds to my chat support request by when i am no longer available to engage with him or her
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Incident Management, change management, problem management. With these process being implemented, it has helped us on the journey to create a customer-centric and process driven service desk. The configuration of the tool is simply a drag and drop exercise . The admin training is focused on empowering the internal users to take ownership of the deployment exercise thereby reducing cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Considering the tool is extremely easy to use, train your internal staff on the tool and identify 2 administrator. This will help lower cost and add value immediately.
Freshservice is what I want from a ITSM tool
What do you like best about the product?
Freshservice has a great interface which is easy to use and is really intuitive. It's nice and responsive and is easy to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess you do get to the point of expecting so much more out of it, because it can do quite a bit already.
It's not necessarily a negative thing, as I think it's because I want to use it to it's full potential, and more!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to offer so much more extensive support by means of the end user portal. Our end user guides that we embed gif in work a treat and a such a great time saver. We're also able to be so much more proactive in our response with the tools Freshservice offers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a nice, easy to use, responsive ITSM tool - look no further.
There's a lot to this tool if you pay for the higher packages, and they seem to be constantly improving. It's not perfect, don't get me wrong, but it won't let you down. I've used many tools over the years and this is one of the best.

Solid Helpdesk tool evolving over the time
What do you like best about the product?
Fast pace in product development, fast support and the fact that you can arrange all with you account manager
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a solid product but you have to compare other competitors with an eye on the price per agent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We build our whole first and second level Support within fresh service. Also use the asset Management a lot
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
The streamlined and intuitive design which helps create a sensible flow when handling tickets
What do you dislike about the product?
The flexibility, some things could be more customizeable, for instance sorting options on custom fields and criterias for solutions. However when understanding how they work it is a matter of adapting to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better overview of our tickets and easier ways to categorize and hence act proactively on tickets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware of the way the automations work, we have had some difficulties with it where the criterias should be straigth forward but for some reasons the system cannot recognize it and marks all tickets under these criterias.
Great Ticket Management System
What do you like best about the product?
Fresh service is easy for customers to log tickets, and for agents to set ticket priorities and assign tickets to agents. You can also run customer satisfaction reports, this is a good way of measuring metrics of how the team are performing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes pulling data from freshservice to excel can cause bugs and the data can be inconsistent; however fresh service are able to support these issues. Response times can be slightly delayed. But always get resolved well, agents are polite and knowledgeable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Client tickets, internal IT tickets and having dashboards that show how many tickets each agent has assigned certainly has its benefits
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it you can pay for agent seats and it is an affordable set up!
Excellent support and good set of features that will get most helpdesk work done.
What do you like best about the product?
The layout is really nice, its easy to sort out the tickets and also be able to reply from email is very helpful. Also I do like the ability to auto assign tickets and create a really powerful workflow to route those tickets to the correct destinations
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like a better asset tracking system. I bit hard to track what asset/access a user has. I would like the ability to add asset tracking to a user's profile based on the tickets they have created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previous to this the organisation was only using email and SharePoint list to maintain ticket. Freshservice has help a lot in trying to track tickets, be able to respond straight from the ticket and have reminder alert/task. It has saved us a lot of time in resolving our ticket and also from missing tickets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are after a quick and easy helpdesk solution, Freshservice does tend to do most of the helpdesk task. It also very competitive compared to other systems.
Very happy with Freshservice
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to implement, even in a geographically spread environment with local servicedesks.
It is easy to configure and to adjust to specific needs.
It is easy to configure and to adjust to specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not 100% tailored to a multi region local servicedesk approach. For this the best option was to implement separate portals with separated back offices, however that didn't fit our goals. Using apps (which are available in the store) we managed to configure the one instance for all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Hero Group is a group of companies with their own servicedesks, processes and tooling. As first step to be able to work more effectively together, we have implemented One Incident Management Platform
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an easy to use and flexible IT Service Management platform, freshservice should be on your short list.
