Ticketing system and service requests at the moment but currently a phased rollout of asset management, alerts and on/offboarding. We're a company of about 400 users we support with 2 full-time IT staffers. Freshdesk has reduced our points of contact and sped up the resolution time by aggregating multiple subsystems of our helpdesk.

Initially, as an ITSM platform for support intake, we had no platform at all and needed one. After rolling it out for intake we created and used the service catalog and are starting to use solutions. We have instituted a Change process using Freshservice change module. We have also started to use the PO section to control purchasing. We then started using projects and have expanded the use beyond IT to the larger business. Lastly, we have brought the real estate team in moving from a different ticket platform to Freshservice. This prompted interest in other business units, so we continue to expand the platform use. Having all in pricing allows us to do this without concern on how much a particular module may cost.

We currently use Freshservice for our IT ticketing system. We currently have set up a portal for end users to submit service requests, incidents, and to view self-help knowledge base articles to answer questions. This is available to all of our organization to track trends, agent performance, and to have a one stop shop for our users for their IT needs.

We use it for our IT and HR ticketing system, soon to include estates and Finance. It keeps track of incoming incidents and requests being able to log everything in the tickets for auditing purposes. IT lets us segregate the department for security reasons easily and also lets us move tickets to the relevant teams with ease. The request feature allows us to automate a number of administrative tasks and even orchestrate some complex ones like creating new MS Teams. IT also uses the change management functions with a full ITOM system allowing us to bespoke changes keep a service catalogue of services and link those services to changes so we know what has potential to break. We also use the functions of the asset management features allowing us to map relationships from assets to assets to services etc. Without this tool we would not pass our ISO27001.

We use Freshservice for our ticketing system, change management, and knowledgebase. We also use it lightly for some asset management. It allows us to consolidate services into a single product. We use it for our internal staff, as well as customers that we serve around our region. It has been a useful tool, and once you get past the initial pain points, it is fairly easy to maintain.

We started out with Freshservice as a replacement tool for our Support team to track incoming questions and emails from customers. Since this was successful, we expanded its use to our other Operations teams, such as planning, order desk, production, and repair. We chose this because it is very easy to transfer tickets from one team to another and track where the tickets are.

I am one of the Account Admins and led the migration from Freshdesk to Freshservice. As our organization's IT Operations Senior Manager, I oversee the use of various modules, including ticketing, asset management, and change management. Freshservice helps us log all incidents, whether minor or significant, create customizable forms for service requests, and track our assets, ensuring that there are logs for each change.

We started using FreshDesk as our main IT ticketing system. Since then, we have also branched out and added our marketing team to create marketing requests. We are also working on implementing their onboarding and offboarding systems. We tend to have about 100 open IT tickets at any given time, and FreshDesk makes it easy to maintain and keep track of everything currently going on.

Freshservice is used to control and monitor help desk tickets. While it is used across the entire business with thousands of employees, our specific team handles a smaller segment of the tickets, which means we re-assign tickets between groups as needed. Freshservice allows for monitoring of volumes and efficiency and helps to automate solutions.

We needed to replace our service desk from Jira Service Management as we were unhappy with the lack of automation on Jira as well as the lack of plug ins to other applications that we use. Primarily automation was the key driver as we wanted the ability to be able to close tickets quicker. Freshservice was chosen as it had lots of automation as well as many plugins for our key applications. We ran a small pilot with this and were impressed with the features.
