I think if you need basic capabilities, go with something like "Freshdesk" which offers similar services at the starter plan. If you need more automation or have the need to replace platforms like Zendesk for customer service, or want to incorporate multiple departments into the service, I recommend this especially.

In my experience, Freshservice is well suited for teams of all sizes who wish to manage incidents and service requests from a single platform. I've found that the automation is especially useful for small teams that receive a lot of requests.

I can say It is best suited for any size of organization who are particularly looking for large number of features like ticketing tool , asset management, self service portal, Integration with other tools, Reporting and Analytics in single tool.
For smaller organization cost may be the concern as it is subscription based software.

Due to it's scalability, Freshservice is suitable for most organisations requiring a service management solution.

Access to the code is limited therefore it might be less suited to those organisations requiring infinite configurability.

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.

I think for small businesses that are growing, it's a great Help Desk system. There's other systems on the market that are more mature but Freshservice I feel is competitively priced for it's target audience.

Fresh Service also fits very well in the management of tickets even by teams outside the company such as suppliers, application partners for example.I don't think Fresh Service can't be adopted in other services. In my opinion it is a very versatile and complete product. It should only improve on small things as previously mentioned

Freshservice is a set of building blocks that can be used "off the shelf" but takes a fair amount of configuration to take full advantage of its capabilities. Freshservice has excellent onboarding support as well as long-term support. It seems to be geared towards mid-size businesses, but could be a good fit for larger small businesses as well as businesses with a few thousand employees. One thing that's very impressive is the continued enhancement and development of existing and new features. These features fit in very well with the existing environment and show attention to detail in how they are designed.

If you need a support desk solution, no matter what size the company, Freshservice is a great platform. The Admin portal is easy to use for managing and setting up the core features, even setting up SSO, but it also has so many features available that you can really dial it in to do a lot more than basic support desk. Asset Management is also very helpful.

Freshservice is easy to implement to IT use and rollout for end users. Any changes to the interface or Freshservice need to notify the customer first. I have encountered cases activation email notification was sent to users automatically with the new FreshWorks and it has caused confusion with users. Some are treated it as phishing email.

I would definitely recommend FreshService for those looking to manage the ITSM environment themselves and that don't have developer skills internally (SNOW is very complex in comparison). I would also recommend using it for teams outside of IT and making use of the business agent licensing model which is less expensive than the IT agent licensing.

The customer portal is great and the customisation it allows was really helpful in keeping the same aesthetic for our product across this service too. The UI can be quite cumbersome at points. When you have a large amount of custom tickets data it is hard to view this from within the ticket view.

Freshservice is very good at managing multiple different departments for help desk ticketing. There are multiple ways that it can be set up so that the tickets are more automated or can be controlled by a person. When trying to keep track of all assets, including peripherals, the managed asset management portion is very limited. You can scan the computer, but you still have to add a lot of information that is not scanned.
