Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We are using from the end 2018 when we find some solutions for Ticket Helpdesk, Devices Management and License Management. This system provides support to all employees to register their ticket, propose their equipment and for IT Department to manage. Almost all IT at the company have some services to support their employee but we cannot calculate total time, cannot know exactly how many tasks they take do it usually. After applying this tool, we can control it by:
- Logging all of the tickets to the system
- Managing License compliance
- Managing Devices
- Doing an audit can be supported anytime.
- Real-time to get the report and no need to prepare for the server.
  • Ticket helpdesk: Can register ticket to The system by email or Portal link
  • Manage IT Assets: Can manage by agent or agentless. It can scan all devices on your network
  • License Compliance: The system will record all software installed on your devices
  • Contract Management: can manage all contract and notify the expiration date to I T
  • License Management: Fresh Service is still developing its application on SAAS, it should have more detail to make a license report
  • Services catalog: it is not full and easy support for admin
  • Contract Management: should have some add-in support for budget calculation
  • The First ROI: Ticket support - It supports all IT departments register their job and send it to the manager
  • The second ROI: License management - Support is quick for audit from Group and Financial
With Manage Engine Asset explorer:
- You need to set up everything on premise.
- They have a limit for local supplier support in Viet Nam.
- They haven't limited for technical support
With Fresh Service:
- Just buy and use it.
- No need to manage Server and Website
- They have a good reseller in Viet Nam.
The Scenarios:
1. Ticket Helpdesk: When users need to support, they send email to the system and we support based on the SLA we define. If one day users complain about it to support, we can trace back to it from the system.
2. License: Sometime Microsoft will send emails to your group because of a license complaint, you can show them the result without any problem.
