- nothing we've discovered so far. Of course I'm always comparing to our previous solution which was difficult.
Freshservice for managing tickets
- Consolidate email tickets on one platform
- Easy to access
- User Friendly
- Easy to download reports
- Freshservice AMC is little expensive compare to other similar ticketing tools products.
- Some times customer support delay response
before 3 years I haven't heard about fresh service but when I joined the company I started using it. I learn fresh service administration within a month without any knowledge transfer. The fresh service articles also helped me to learn the tool. SO you can image how user friendly the too is and how easy to learn it. After learning tool, I build various workflows and automation which works perfectly fine. Within the organization we have onboarded various department on fresh service and I trained them on how to use it as agent. It also works with power automation and Microsoft team collaboration. Fresh service provides lot of features at basic plan. However, few features are not available at basic plan. But i will rate this tool 10/10.
- Workflow automation
- Knowledge base articles for users and agents
- easy to add categories & sub category and make them compulsory so that ticket cannot be closed without filling the information
- it works with email address very simple to create different department and queues
- Dashboard edit & view for team with basic plan
- Need to update fresh service support articles and they are old now and the tool is upgraded
- Reports in specific format. The date & time column should be separated
- there should be different type of reports available. it could be automated reports as well
It works on distribution list email address for queue creation
need to give edit and view access for team dashboard on basic plan
Report can be well structured or automated
Easy to use and fully featured helpdesk
- Tickets
- Asset Management
- Ticket metrics
- Reporting
- Managing a multitude of software licenses
- more flexibility in on call

Fantastic Bundle for you IT help desk
- Runs smooth
- Excellent support
- Software has a lot of features, it really depends on the user what features they want to implement.
- I’m not sure if in the asset section you can see/ add visuals of assets.
- So for example when adding a pc, there should be an icon of a pc so you know even by browsing through, that item is a pc.
Contract management.
Tried to review honestly
- Ticketing tool is good
- Asset Management
- Support
- Should add bulk upload there for service requests. also dynamic field should support bulk uploading
- Text field type could be customized and controllable, like if want specific field should add only 10 characters or only alpha numeric characters. where needed we can implement text field data from other text field
Best ITSM tool
It is very user friendly and from admin point of view it is very esay to customise as per the Customers requirement for the customer support portals.
It is best ITSM tool where we can also integrate the alerts from number of other applications.
So for the helpdesk it can be a single tool to monitor other several monitoring tools, which makes the Engineers life easy.
It has Automation, Workflow, Reporting and lot of other features.
- Easy to integrate with other tools
- Easy to setup as per the requirents of the customer.
- Asset management and Reporting Analytics ca be used to track the asset in single application and to track the performance metrics.
- For technical issues we can get quick support from the Freshservice support team.
- Should have feature to export the tickets from the last 6 months or year, now there is no feature to export the tickets older than 6 months from the customer portal
- We should able to see the detailed timestamp with date and time on the customer portal.Now it is generic like 5 days ago, 10 days ago.
For smaller organization cost may be the concern as it is subscription based software.
Great Ticketing System
- Ticketing
- Reporting
- Admin Portal needs to be more user friendly.
Freshservice - service management solution for all
- Intuitive to implement and maintain
- Different 'flavours' to meet different levels of requirements
- Comprehensive integration with third party products
- Continually evolving
- Responsive levels of support
- 'Try before you buy' instance
- Integrating chat with the Freshservice knowledgebase
- Keeping the solutions up to date with the changing functionality
Access to the code is limited therefore it might be less suited to those organisations requiring infinite configurability.
Excellent choice for this company
- Easy to enter tickets
- Easy to set up even if you are new to freshservice
- Nice front end for our customers
- Asset- and/or configuration management is not at its best yet
- Filtering of tickets can be better
- Analyses can be better. Make use of custom fields and relations between fields
I would like a better integration with other applications. API can be better described.
- Incorporates ITSM principles well
- Inventory management
- Easiest workflows to implement
- Administration is super easy
- User Onboarding
- Calendar entries can have reminders. So, if a user asks to call 9 am on Tuesday, add the entry and Freshservice reminds you of it, just like Outlook.
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.
Great but could be better
- Good layout for a help desk, easy to read and respond to messages in either the portal, email, or Teams.
- Analytics and Reporting widgets are intuitive and easy to use
- Extensibility and plugin is good and getting better
- Inventory system is good but computers don't show their graphics cards though they report on all other hardware
- Onboarding system is good but could use more automation features built in by default
- Automation overall is good, but I would welcome more direct support for popular HR recruiting software
My experience with Freshservice.
- Ticket management and communicating with our internal customers.
- SSO and seamless mobile app deployment from Microsoft Intune MDM.
- Repository for IT contracts with vendors.
- Better Intune integration to allow device synchronization; the current plugin does not work well.
- Outlook integration is like an Outlook plugin.
- The ticket is managed in its comfort, internal notes to the work team, notes to the user, detailed reports of all the steps of the ticket
- Very simple management of parent tickets and its child tickets
- scheduling of activities integrated with the calendar
- Asset interface, layout is not fully editable, some fields are static
- Inventory management is not simple as it is linked to a table which is linked to a vendor. These fields are not editable
- Ticket tracking and management
- Workflow automation
- Asset & Inventory Management
- Project Managment
- 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.
Freshservice meets the needs
- Allows emails to be sent to different emails addresses which create tickets that are assigned to different support teams automatically.
- Allows administrators to fine-tune permissions for the support technicians, with some being basic helpdesk, and some having the ability to handle automations and integrations within the Freshservice admin portal.
- Creates a end user portal where they can submit tickets, request items, submit onboarding forms, and view ticket statuses.
- Pulls device information from Dell once devices are in inventory based on the serial tags, such as warranty expirations.
- The Onboarding feature is super cool but difficult to set up and roll-out.
- It would be cool if there was an Outlook add-in like Jira has.
Freshservice is a fresh look at helpdesk solutions!
- Incident management
- Onboarding assistance
- Inventory tracking
- The ability to configure the portal more
I dont think it would be useful in an organization that is smaller and that can be suited with a less expensive option
New IT Ticketing System: Adopting a best practice from the ITIL Framework on Incident Management
- Ease to submit ticket
- User can monitor their own tickets
- Easier and automated reports send to respective IT personnel
- Easy to modify the Form Fields
- Easier administration
- Auto-assign does not work very well even the Agent option has been enabled
- The new analytic reporting quite confusing and need to learn it
- Good to have a version control on workflow automation that allow me to rollback if there's any issues.
LOW code full featured ITOM
- Set up is really easy, low/no code setup.
- Creating and managing ticket work flow.
- Change Management and CAB board responsibilities.
- Reporting and analytics is a bit limited, not all fields are able to be reported on.
- Dashboard widgets are great, just need more customizable options for all modules.
Freshservice makes ITSM easy!
- The dashboard view of your tickets is great and you can easily see your own tickets as well as those assigned to your team.
- Reporting is quick and easy, the canned reports are fine but the custom reports are easy to create using drag and drop widgets.
- Setting up multiple support teams and creating tickets from inbound emails is also easy to do.
- I would like to see more sort and filtering options on the dashboards, eg just view all open tickets by a particular user or category. Even to sort by username.
- Sometimes the dashboard screen doesn't render properly. Have seen this multiple times by a refresh or clicking to another area in Freshdesk and back to the ticket dashboard again usually fixes it.
- Being able to change the org name would be good. We still have our old company name appearing and I've been told it's not possible to change that.
Fresh install of Freshservice
- information collection
- customisation
- stakeholder involvement
- Reporting
- UI
- Easy ticket field creation & maintenance - can also be customised depending on the ticket type or other fields
- Workflow & scenario automations can be real time savers when handling repetitive actions
- Analytics - ease of report creation
- The analytics could be taken to another level - even though they are easy to use & create new reports, there is definitely room to improve the customisation options.
Freshservice is a robust and user friendly program
- Freshservice is very good at managing tickets. The customizable interface makes it very easy to build your own teams and workflows for help tickets.
- The asset management portion is very robust with a lot of customizable features.
- The report functions allow you to get very granular with what type of information you want displayed as well as when you want that information.
- The back end workflow is slightly limited in the way it is set up. There are a lot of custom things that can be done, but only in the scope that Freshservice allows. If you want to design your own workflow, but one of the steps doesn't match what Freshservice has, there is very little options to do it.
