A very fresh experience with Freshservice
What do you like best about the product?
What initially drew me to Freshservice was its clean, intuitive user interface—it immediately felt more modern and user-friendly than other ITSM tools I had tried. From spinning up a new instance to onboarding customers, the implementation process was smooth and efficient.
I’ve been using Freshservice regularly since 2021, and it has become an integral part of our daily operations. Both agents and customers interact with the platform frequently, and even with a steadily increasing ticket volume, the experience remains consistently smooth and reliable.
Over the years, the platform has seen continuous improvements. One of the most impactful additions has been Freddy AI, which provides quick assistance with product features and intelligent suggestions using solution base articles—making everyday tasks even more efficient.
Freshservice also stands out for its rich feature set and high degree of customizability. The drag-and-drop workflow automator makes it easy to configure even complex workflows without hassle. We've also built multiple third-party custom integrations to meet specific customer needs, and the platform has handled them seamlessly.
Lastly, the customer support and product teams have been incredibly responsive. For example, they quickly rolled out the much-needed CC feature in the "send email" action based on our request—demonstrating their commitment to customer feedback and continuous improvement.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Freshservice has proven to be a robust and feature-rich ITSM platform, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved to enhance overall customer satisfaction.
One such area is the consistency of customer-facing support. In some interactions, we’ve noticed that certain support agents lacked sufficient product knowledge, which led to delays and repeated queries—ultimately consuming valuable time and causing frustration for users.
In terms of customizability, while the platform offers a wide range of features, there are still a few limitations. For instance, in the workflow automator, it would be highly beneficial to have the ability to rejoin flows after they split based on conditions. Additionally, customizing the support portal currently requires technical expertise in HTML and CSS. A more intuitive, UI-based customization tool would significantly improve the experience for admins and non-technical users alike.
These are relatively minor issues but addressing them would go a long way in refining the platform from both an administrator’s and end-user’s perspective. Despite these challenges, Freshservice remains a powerful and reliable ITSM solution, and I would still confidently recommend it to others.

A robust and flexible tool with room for improvement in support
What do you like best about the product?
Freshservice is a solid and flexible platform that checks many of the boxes for our organization's needs. It’s extensive in functionality, and if you have the right team and resources, you can customize it to suit nearly any use case. From ticket management, integrations with other systems, to workflows and automation, the platform offers a lot of depth and scalability. The interface is modern and generally intuitive, making it easier for users to adopt.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main challenge we face is with the support experience. While the support team is courteous and eager to help, the fact that they are based overseas has introduced a language and communication barrier that makes deeper problem-solving difficult. Their suggestions often feel canned or generic, which doesn't help us implement solutions tailored to our specific environment. This makes it hard to fully adopt some of the more advanced features without investing a lot of time internally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Freshservice provides us with a unified platform (a single pane of glass) for managing and tracking tickets across all the organizations we support. This centralized visibility has greatly improved communication and accountability across teams. It ensures that nothing falls through the cracks and that all requests are properly documented and tracked from submission to resolution.
The automation features help reduce manual tasks, speeding up resolution times and improving overall efficiency. It also helps us standardize processes, enforce SLAs, and gather valuable metrics through reporting and dashboards, which aid in continuous service improvement. The knowledge base and self-service portal have helped deflect common tickets, empowering users to find solutions on their own and reducing the workload on our support staff.

Efficient Ticket Structuring and Visual Management to Improve SLAs and Real-Time Operations
What do you like best about the product?

Visual management and performance indicators are another key differentiator that allow us to monitor operations in real time and drive continuous improvement in our processes.

Fast & Flexible ITSM Solution
What do you like best about the product?
FreshService has proven to be a fast and flexible application for our agents. We rolled out FreshService in several stages as we moved away from our old on-prem solution. We have been able to integrate FreshService with several monitoring tools as well as an on-premise orchestration server to take over some manual tasks and automate them.
What do you dislike about the product?
While new features are coming out monthly, some basic features like syntax highlighting are missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FreshService has many modules that solved lots of problems for us. One of the biggest time savers so far has been the ability to create tickets from nearly anything. We used to get a lot of ticket noise from our Networking Monitoring Software. The Alerts module in FreshService allows us to create tickets automatically from Alerts, but one of the nicest features is the ability to consolidate alerts. Instead of creating additional tickets, FreshService is smart enough to know that a ticket already exists for the issue; therefore, it just adds the alert occurrence without creating an additional ticket. This one feature alone has saved my agents tons of time.
