Freshservice is a complete ITSM solution. I have used some others over the years and moved away from them to Freshservice. I have implemented Freshservice in 2 new roles over the years, and everyone has loved it. The functionality that it incorporates, enabling IT teams to become ITIL compliant is truly useful. Compared to 5 other ITSM tools that I have used over the last 10 years, Freshservice is far better.

The deployment of this software was a lot of pleasure for us as we were able to bring all our customers to one spot. The customer's requirements are considerably easier to satisfy in this way. As Microsoft Dynamic 365 for customer service, we are able to keep our customers in our firm in a long-term position. I highly suggest you use this service in all sorts of organizations as it is a very complete system with everything necessary for a high-grade customer care experience. The software gives several pricing packages that are appropriate for varied usage demands.

  • Dynamic CS allows you to access a wider customer base and gain artificial intelligence-powered insights into numerous client interaction activities.
  • It assists in gaining deep insights into numerous data analyses performed on various customer interaction activities, as well as data visualization and customer satisfaction enhancement.
  • This product has been extremely beneficial to my firm since it allows us to communicate with customers via a variety of channels, including e-mail and social media.
  • Extensible, and Microsoft responds rapidly to market demand with new features. In terms of service, both Microsoft customer success and technical teams collaborate closely to ensure appropriate delivery.
  • A better way to track client interactions is SaaS-based cloud services. This software may also be linked to outlook.

Cons
Freshworks Inc
  • Change Management - Current system is geared towards full software or system change management. It would be great to have a simple Yes/No approval without having to utilize their workflow tools.
  • Data selection filters - Overall, their data filters are very good, but it would be useful to have "Last Week" and "Last Month" in the date selectors.

Usability
Freshworks Inc
On the I.T. side, the time to ramp up and understand how FreshService operates only took a few hours. After that, it was off to the races with configuration and customization. From the start, with minimal assistance, our end users found FreshService to be incredibly intuitive. At launch, we expected most to submit tickets via email, however, our analytics has shown that end-users actually prefer the portal for managing their I.T. tickets.

I contacted support once and the person handling the request was very helpful. The staff is very competent. In my opinion communication could be improved as the level of spoken English is very high. I was unable to understand some words, in fact two people participated in the second meeting.

think of what you want to do with FreshService : a clean start or a migration. Migration can be done with csv files, it's easy to do but you need to test it first.

I've used monday.com for ticketing, but Freshservice is made for it and the asset management feature adds value. NinjaOne's ticketing is not built out so we only use it for its RMM features. Atera has a nice ticketing platform and looks similar to Freshservice but they do not have an onboarding feature and other integrations that Freshservice has
