    Freshservice is well suited for tracking issues and customer tickets. I enjoy being able to narrow down the tags so I can see trends. My biggest issue with Freshservice is using it to look up customers and tickets. Even if I know a ticket is linked to a specific customer, the system often doesn't pull it up. It's almost too specific with what you need to search. Unless you have the exact wording, etc., it won't pull what you're looking for. Using it as a customer directory isn't really helpful with this setup right now.

    New Relic its an excellent tool for monitoring services used on the SAAS universe, like web servers, relational and nosql dbms, reverse proxies, text databases, etc. Its also a powerful tool to monitor resource usage on said servers. However, its not well fitted to monitor custom services - if you need to generate alerts based on logs or database information, for example

    Pros
    Freshworks Inc
    • A robust support portal that's easily configured by a power user, but also supports developer level customization.
    • The workflow authoring tool is a very easy drag and drop. For more experienced admins, a robust amount of logic and actions.
    • Dozens of integrations out of the box, including most all mainstream business software.

    • It gives us insights of applications, infrastructure, clouds very well.
    • The alerting system in New Relic helps us to easily identify the root cause which reduces the MTTR.
    • It has new features related to AI which helps to troubleshoot any problem in a very short time it gives future predictions also.

    Cons
    Freshworks Inc
    • auditing. Maybe it's the license we have, but auditing agent activity is very difficult or non-existent. Sometimes an admin will make changes, and we have no idea who made them.
    • As great as the workflows and ticket automation are, they seem to break for unknown reasons, which requires a lot of manual overrides. This may be due to newly added features that are forcefully integrated.
    • Better ticket analytics. Managers don't seem to have much insight into what we do beyond tickets resolved.

    • And while powerful, building tailored dashboards with organ-specific metrics (such as energy load variance across regions) can be difficult to navigate. The UI isn't as drag-and-drop easy, and query-based widgets typically involve some trial and error for non-devs.
    • Alerts may be hypersensitive or over general. I We often get a spam of non-critical alerts while doing load testing, all overhauling to me alone and making it difficult to identify actual issues especially in energy systems where spikes are very common.
    • With our expanding fleet of Iot devices, the per-host pricing model is becoming expensive, quickly. More detailed billing based on microservices, or that works at sensor level, would make it more adaptable for energy platforms.

    We are pretty invested in Freshservice right now and have integrated it pretty heavily into our environment, so it would be hard to move away from it. For the most part, we are happy with Freshservice and the ease of use it gives us in managing tickets through the system. The only complaint we've had is customer service.

    The only issue that we have had with New Relic is that the price might be a little expensive for smaller companies. The amount of data you store in New Relic impacts the cost, and can get away from you if you don't work closely with the vendor. Overall though the application is top notch.

    Usability
    Freshworks Inc
    The UI design of Freshservice is simple and intuitive. You don't have to be a technical expert to navigate your way into the different pages/modules available. There are no buttons that are hidden in plain sight. Even our HR team required little to no help when they started using Freshservice.

    I have given this much rating as I am used New Relic in different sectors and for different use cases like its K8s monitoring, infra monitoring, full stack monitoring as compare to other tools New Relic gives data in a formatted and connected way, and also it is giving us value for money. It also launches new features day by day which helps users to track the issue very quickly. It also supports OTel integrations which is the latest trend of observability tools. thats why I had given this much rating to New Relic.

    Reliability and Availability
    Freshworks Inc
    In our 3 years of using Freshservice, we've experienced several outages in the first 2 years. There were times where it only took minutes or hours but there are also times where it took a few days. Each time, Freshservice remained transparent and constantly communicated their progress. We haven't had one in the past year which indicates Freshservice have improved their servers.

    Performance
    Freshworks Inc
    Pages load quickly but internet connectivity can also play a big role. Integrations doesn't affect the performance but internet connectivity may be a big factor. As a company with most employees working from home, different network providers from different areas/countries can have different experiences. Search load time needs improvement.

    Excellent. Every time I spoke to someone from the team they were very helpful. Last meeting we had they went over some features we were not using and explained how we could get the most out of our contract with them. Not many companies have this level of (actual human) support. The push to AI is nice but talking to actual experts is a lot nicer and to the point.

    The support team has been really helpful and resolved most of the issues on time. However, for a couple of issues, several follow-ups were needed to elicit a reasonable response. The issue was deeply technical and could have been investigated only by their Architects, and bringing them into the ticket took longer than needed

    Creating the correct groups for the stakeholders and enabling the right notifications are one of the most important aspect of the implementation. Creating Change templates will also help in the long run and it's a good practice to create one, if applicable.

    It's better to start by implementing New Relic in one project and test everything. Try to follow best recommended practices and read all the official documentation. Everything seems well tested. Then, start by installing agents to the rest of your projects and keep a close look to all logs and metrics New Relic gives you.

    Freshservice is on par with ManageEngine SD Plus in terms of: 1. No/Low code configuration, 2. ITSM module certification 3. SLA 4. CMDB etc. However, the level of support that ManageEngine offers with its post-sales engineer is better than that of Freshservice. While using ServiceNow, they lack many features, as ServiceNow is enriched with numerous modules and an app engine, allowing for customization without OEM assistance.

    Data Dog has solutions that look more attractive, but not at their price point. We have also tried to build a solution straight from the Cloud, where our business is built, but some things are too hard to replicate. This shows that New Relic is useful and helps our efficiency.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    Freshworks Inc
    Freshservice allows flexibility with contract terms and pricing model. Monthly and annual payments are allowed. The unit pricing needs a bit of improvement. It would be great if they offer unit pricing per capability instead of one pricing for all the capabilities. Small businesses have different use cases and not every agent needs all the modules available.

There were no changes to the admin and end-user experience from when we were a 1,000-employee company vs to our current head count of 2,000+.

    • We were able to quickly identify our most time consuming APIs. In some cases we were able to bring down times for some apis from 4s to 200ms.
    • We were able to identify our slowest database queries and optimize them for quicker response times.
