Overall Satisfaction with Freshservice

Freshservice is our main Help Desk service ticketing system. We also have a customer-facing portal for knowledge articles, IM Chat integration with Freshchat, and links to other services. We use Freshservice to track our assets as well.

Currently, Freshservice is just used by our IT department. We've been discussing how other departments, like our Library Services or Campus Operations departments, could use Freshservice for their ticketing and communication, as well as having their own customer portal. I'm hoping our success will lead those departments to adopt Freshservice.

We had separate, clunky ticket systems in the past. We had no customer portal for information or interaction, and our asset tracking was based out of a spreadsheet. Having all these components integrated into one system has improved our speed and quality of service to our customers. We can add assets to service tickets for better asset management. We have all our knowledge articles and customer interaction in one location instead of several different web-based resources.

  • Customized customer portal and ticketing system - We have specific information we want our customers and team to access. Freshservice allows us to have all that exactly as we want.
  • Freshchat integration - Having the chat portal integrated on our customer portal has improved our ability to communicate and quickly resolve issues. We have the chat widget on our main customer portal through Freshservice and our Moodle LMS.
  • Asset tracking and integration - we have the ability to track our assets from anywhere now. It makes field service calls so much easier since we don't have to rely on a spreadsheet on our server. We can also connect service tickets to assets so our repairs and changes are more accurate.
  • Mobile App - having the mobile app boosts our ability in the field. We can tag assets from the app to make changes and updates. We can provide the same service on the road as we can in our offices.
  • I don't know why, but we have some integration between Freshservice and Freshchat. But it is minor.
  • Improvement in speed and quality of customer service
  • Reduction in asset loss or mismanagement
Their customer portal and asset tracking better suited out needs. When we tested out all our potential options in a sandbox environment we just liked Freshservice the most.
