What do you like best about Freshservice?

I really like how easy to configure, use, brand and automate actions. The gamification aspect with awarding of badges alongside the automated satisfaction survey not only motivates and encourages agents to resolve tickets whilst maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

There is a mobile app, however it doesn't currently work with SSO - they are apparently working to resolve this limitation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freshservice:

Contact FreshService for a free trial and speak to the account manager with your requirements - they will ensure your trial allows you to properly experience FreshService and then you can decide for yourself. One thing to note however, is that the trial will automatically begin with the highest plan (Estate), so if you wish to accurately trial another plan, you must downgrade your plan once the trial starts.

A helpdesk solution which follows the ITIL framework - including CMDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

Freshworks platform has been a welcome change for me and honestly refreshing to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

There's so much, we haven't been able to make use of it all yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has a board view that I love and is friendly for our agents to use. We use Fresh Service and can identify problems and map the tickets that are dealing with the same problem. We can keep track of reoccurring “Problems” and make sure that a resolution is found. We can input that resolution, and we can create “Solutions” to issues that are searchable in a Knowledgebase. Onboarding and Offboarding are part of our “Employee Journeys” dropdown. We use “Changes” management within the application. There is “Assets” management that is convenient to have as well. We enjoy diverse “Reporting” capabilities for our team’s statistics. There’s even more in “Projects” management and without further explanation I recommend. So full and fun as well!

What do you like best about Freshservice?

As a growing business operating in a fully remote environment, we recognise the importance of having a modern, efficient, and reliable IT service management tool. After evaluating 2-3 options, we chose Freshservice, and it has proven to be a transformative tool in the way we manage IT operations, streamline asset management, and deliver an exceptional service to both internal employees and external customers.

Freshservice has enabled us to drive efficiency across the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Reporting seems a little clunky but gives us what we need right now. It's early days in diving into that aspect of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice reduces manual effort via the workflow automation feature. It accelerates ticket resolution time with the introduction of Freddy AI who deflects common issues and surfaces knowledge articles. It gives us far more options for employees to contact IT and raise requests in a more formal manner. it consolidates all requests across IT & HR.

We have improved asset monitoring and tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

It’s made a huge difference for us. Freshservice gave our global IT team one place to manage tickets, requests, and changes — with a clean interface and smooth workflows. Since rollout, we’ve cut resolution times by around 35% and seen productivity go up by 25%. The service catalog, automation, and Microsoft 365 integration have made things easier for both IT and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Reporting could be a bit more flexible — building custom dashboards for our specific needs takes work. And for our China users, there are occasional performance hiccups. But overall, it’s a solid platform and those are just areas to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice has helped us bring structure to how we manage incidents, service requests, and changes across regions. Before this, things were more scattered. Now with automation and a proper service catalog, the team’s more productive, tickets get resolved faster, and we have better visibility into what’s happening across departments.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

As the I.T. Manager, I value the reasonable pricing, strong SLA capabilities, detailed reporting, and the transparency into agent-assigned incidents and tickets. What stands out most, however, is that this solution has reduced our incident response time by over 25%.

The setup was straightforward, easy to use, customer support has been reliable, and it's become a tool we rely on daily. While we haven’t yet explored the many integration features, we plan to take full advantage of them in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

There are really no cons to Freshservice that we have found to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice helps our IT staff stay on top of incident tickets, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. It also adds a sense of urgency by flagging tickets when SLA deadlines are approaching, helping us stay accountable and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

Simple, cloud based, ticketing system. Straightforward integration, and nicely pulls up user info with tickets. Has a lot of features under the hood as well, and a great amount of customization. Kind of fun to discover new tools like the email commands, and there seems to be a never ending amount of new features added regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Lots and lots of features, some are excellent, some need a little more love to reach efficiency. Reporting is the life's blood of the Service Desk. Some obvious reports aren't there and you'll have to make, which takes a bit of time to master. Also, there should be a refresh timer on the Ticket List screen. Like, be able to set how many seconds before the next refresh. It refreshes, but I want tickets to show up instantly, not 30 seconds from now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Consistency and timeliness were some problems I wanted to fix by going to Freshservice. Setting it up wasn't much of a problem. Our internal processes when dealing with tickets was more of a problem. Reporting and SLAs are right there in front of us, and with instant messenger integration, I can get instant notifications when SLAs are missed, or tickets come in high priority.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

With FreshService being cloud based, it has made it easier for users and agents to interact with the helpdesk eliminating the requirement for users to VPN into our internal LAN to access ITSM tools. We have also enabled SSO with FreshService making it much easier to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

On rare occasions, maybe once or twice a year for brief periods, FreshService may become inaccessible due to issues in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

FreshService has allowed our end users to access the incident management system from anywhere on the internet. Also, with FreshService providing resolution suggestions as users enter ticket data, this has resulted in a 10% decrease in ticket escalations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

Freshservice is easy to use and helps our IT team manage tickets smoothly. The interface is clean, and setting up workflows is simple. I love the automation features and they save us a lot of time. The mobile app is also handy for quick updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Sometimes, reporting features feel a bit limited. Customizing reports could be easier. Also, the pricing can get high as you add more features or users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice helps us organize and track IT support tickets efficiently, so nothing gets lost or forgotten. Before, we used emails and spreadsheets, which was messy. Now, all requests are in one place, and automated workflows assign tickets to the right team members.

It also makes asset management easier and we can track company devices and software licenses without hassle. The knowledge base feature reduces repeat questions by letting users find answers themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

The UI/UX is amazing. Both agents and end users find it incredibly use but also incredibly flexible and customizable. We were able to very quickly implement our necessary customizations and integrate it with our other systems like Entra and intune. If I ever don't know anything, the freshservice team responds quickly to tickets. Our whole IT team has freshservice open every day, all day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

The asset management side is missing some UI visual aides that other softwares have. The AI agent often misunderstands requests, submitting very wrong tickets that don't represent the users request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice gives us trackable work with history through their service desk. That means our staff get quicker responses and most importantly not all together forgotten. Trust and happiness with the IT department has overall gone up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

Freshservice is straight forward to use and fairly easy to set up, meaning that you don't need to spend months trying to get usage out of the product. We were using it live within 30 days of purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

FreshService has some rough edges that I wish were polished out some. The analytics/reporting is a bit clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Freshservice across our global operations, both as an IT service management (ITSM) and IT asset management (ITAM) tool, and as a ticketing system for multiple business departments. For IT, it helps us keep track of incidents, service requests, and assets in one place, making it easier to stay organized and respond quickly. The asset management side is a huge help for tracking hardware, software, and licenses across different locations, especially when it comes to audits and renewals. Other teams like HR, Facilities, and Finance also use Freshservice for handling internal requests. Having everything in one system makes it easier for employees to get the help they need without bouncing between different tools. Plus, the reporting features give us a clear view of service performance across teams. Overall, Freshservice helps keep things running smoothly, improves response times, and makes life easier for both our IT team and other departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
