Freshservice is providing us the ability to customize the user interface. It offers us to auto translate the page to other languages. Also, their marketing team came to our office and gave a detailed presentation about the product. Also, the product is budget friendly and was providing the security and privacy standards of our organization.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus was a good product that offered good value for money but its automation is quite poor for us and the support we received from them was very hit and miss. The product is also looks dated and has not changed much over the years. Jira Service Management was very limited and all the add ins that we need all cost extra rather than being included in the price like Freshservice offerings. This meant it was hard to find out the true cost of the product.

Compared to similar products I've used, Freshservice beats the competition in support, ease of setup and use, and UI. I found the other products complicated the process for setting up workflows, lacked competent support, and were just plain ugly to look at.

1. Cost - I have always had the best cost provided by Freshservice as compared to others
2. Functionality - far more functionality is provided by Freshservice
3. ITIL enabled ITSM tool with better support for different ITIL modules
4. Reporting - easiest to produce reports in Freshservice
5. Workflows - Workflows are far superior and easier to configure as compared with other products

Service Now is great for the above as well, but it comes at a far greater cost as compared.

Let's say that all these products today are designed for all-round IT service management. I don't think it's correct to talk about other products and make a comparison with Fresh Service, I don't find it correct but what I can say is that I think Fresh Service is very valid compared to others products on the market. Among other things, another issue that has not been mentioned and which I believe is important is the economic aspect. The costs are absolutely manageable even for not so particularly rich budgets

We moved from a legacy version of Trackit and there really is no comparison. Freshservice is head & shoulders above Trackit. When we decided to switch from Trackit, we initially decided on Zendesk, but ran into some issues with their contract team. They were difficult to work with and acted as if they didn't want our business. Freshservice was very easy to work with prior to ordering. Additionally, their features were better suited to our situation. Freshservice made it very easy to evaluate and come on board.

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.

Easier to implement as compared to other ITSM tool like Summit Symphony ITSM. Freshservice to be the perfect amount of customisable in the Admin portal and we can use it out-of-the-box without needing any coding knowledge to build anything, but we have used the settings to customise it to fit our business needs.

Freshservice makes ITSM easy!

We are using SNOW at our parent company level but we find it quite complex in comparison to Freshservice and we do not have admin access to it in the same way we do to Freshdesk. Overall I prefer Freshservice but for larger corporations with large teams supporting the product I guess they may wish to evaluate ServiceNow as a competitor.

As we moved to an ITIL framework this just made sense to transfer across as migration was very simple and completed on our behalf. Also alot of the customisation we had came across which really helped.

Fresh Services was a turn key product that I did not have to take months to configure. We are a small organization and did not have the man power to undertake a product that would become a major project to get off the ground.

Freshservice a breath of fresh air?

More clear environment. Further upscaling in Freshservice is a lot easier then in other products. For example we had a lot of trouble to get the ticketing module in Odoo to a level that's as easy as Freshservice because of inherent limitations when our business exploded from support for small businesses to more global organization support.
