(1-25 of 54)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
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.
- 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.
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.
- Freshservice handles the incident management lifecycle quite well which includes maintaining parent-child relationships of tickets, merging tickets, and maintaining requesters.
- Integration with MS Teams has provided a positive experience for our clients.
- The API has provided us the flexibility to integrate with the School Management system to maintain requesters.
- It would be great for Freshservice API to extend the functionality to import user profile photos
- The project functionality currently does not provide users to alter the list of available statuses. There are projects which can fall outside the standard list of statuses provided.
- Requester management allows the creation of custom fields. We use this facility to classify our requesters (eg. Teachers, Students, and Parents). However, the analytics does not allow us to utilize the custom fields therefore we aren't able to obtain ticket analytics breakdown by classification.
Very important tool for IT services
- Ticket systems
- Manage assets
- IT analysts
- IT catalogue
- Ticket folder
- Assets view
- Dashboard
East to use, no coding language required to know to perform admin tasks, endless automations
I would also like to mention that the possibility of automating tasks in Freshservice is the best USP of this ITSM tool, you can create multiple schedulers, automaters and supervisor rules which reduces a lot of your manual tasks
Since when I started using Freshservice I never thought of switching to any other tool and I also recommend to my clients to use this tool for their ITSM needs.
- Workflow Automation
- Schedulers
- MSP Mode
- Easy integration with communication tools
- User Articles provided by Chatbot
- Machine Learning algorithm to predict the SLA meet probability
For us, it matches all our needs so no as such area of improvement but yes I would like to mention that technology is getting to next level and we should thing of integrating ML, AI
Freshservice Rocks!
- SLA setup allows us to prioritize tickets
- Assignment of tickets with the ability to generate report on the distribution of tickets
- Setup of Knowledge Base allows for self-help on Portal
- Some missing functionalities on mobile app vs web-based platform
- AI not intuitive enough that re-opens resolved tickets when user reply by email
- Not able to capture Google Chat/Soft Phone Call as ticket
Freshservice is a great tool for ticketing
- Can classify tickets based on predefined workflows
- Can use to track emails, attachments, pictures
- Support is quick to reply
- Adding canned time fields
- Easier reporting tools
Freshservice boosts your IT department
We started using the ticketing module and we use more and more functionalities every day. Todays we use the Project Management Module and it's great.
- Ticket automations
- Ticket management
- Asset management
- Project management
- Price
- The Knowledge base could be better
Freshservice is well suited for organizations that need a comprehensive, easy-to-use ITSM platform to manage their IT operations and support their employees and customers. It is particularly well-suited for organizations that have a large number of IT assets, as it allows them to track and manage these assets in a centralized location.
Some specific scenarios where Freshservice may be well-suited include:
- Organizations that need a way to track and manage IT incidents and problems: Freshservice's incident and problem management features allow organizations to track, prioritize, and resolve IT issues in a timely and efficient manner.
- Organizations that need a way to manage IT changes: Freshservice's change management features allow organizations to plan, schedule, and execute IT changes in a controlled and structured way.
- Organizations that need a way to track and manage IT assets: Freshservice's asset management features allow organizations to track and manage their IT assets, including hardware, software, and licenses.
Great product, worth every penny
- Tracking
- Channels management
- KPI
- GUI
- Configuring support channels is not easy sometimes. i.e. configure email chanel requires update SPF and DKIM records and could harder for no experienced IT staff. Maybe there are more easy ways to accomplish this.
- It would be great if somehow throuh AI Freshservice could create a F.A.Q database. i.e. you receive frequently phones tickets and all of them have the same sollution. In that case, an automatically answer could be send back to the user.
I don't think Freshservice could be used for other scenarios than helpdesk/IT related requirements. But there are others more suitable for that like Freshdesk.
Fresh is a delight
- intuitive interface
- codeless workflows
- fully SAAS
- SAAS updates sometimes cause minor service disruption
Absolutely fab all rounder
All our users are now able to see the status and any updates on their tickets, they also have access to the knowledge base which means that they don't even need to log a ticket in the first place.
- Incident Management
- Alert integration
- Service Portal
- Workflow automation
- Project Management - it's just a bit clunky and needs to be simpler and more intuitive
- Analytics - maybe some sample dashboards
Freshservice (Exceptional Value)
- Tracking Agent Performance
- Tracking and Maintaining Helpdesk backlog
- Keeping a track and record of Assets and Equipment
- Reporting Functionality
- Can improve in simplifying the GUI
- Adding in Time cards(When agents login in and out of the system - Time session)
- Add on a remote in feature(Create a built in Remote desktop feature) - Link the ticket to a remote session for a user to take control and help a user without needing a third party remote tool(Teamviewer etc)
A complete management system for a busy tech support office!
- Tracks assets and details
- Provides one central location for tickets
- Ease of responding to users through a nicely laid out interface
- Provides a great dashboard to view all current and pending tickets
- Once a ticket is resolved and closed if a user responds back it is automatically opened back up. The toggle button for this feature is all or nothing.
- When the client is installed on the user end not having the software assign an automatic asset tag number. Maybe leaving that field blank or creating a feature where you can turn this on or off.
- I really can think of any, I really have no complaints about the software
Freshservice rocks!

- Email communication
- Customizations
