Overall Satisfaction with Freshservice

It is currently being use to maintain inventory of computing assets, primarily laptop and desktops, as well as a ticketing system for technology support and service requests.

Previously, inventory was not well kept, and technology requests were submitted by email and Slack messages. Freshservice is also being uses to maintain a knowledge base of common questions and procedures.
  • Inventory.
  • Ticketing.
  • Integrations.
  • Knowledge base.
  • Reporting on inventory for lifecycle management.
  • Standard ticket views and easier ability to push timeline out on tickets, based on a deadline.
  • Easier management of email notifications.
  • Improved tracking on requests.
  • Improved self service support.
  • Improved inventory tracking and replacement cycle planning.
While more expensive, Freshservice provides a more coherent set of features that work well together and are easy to manage and set up.

Slack, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Well suited for basic to advanced helpdesk and ticket management system. We are considering rolling out the ticketing system to other parts of the organization where support is provided but not tracked in detail.

Freshservice may be difficult for us to implement because of the cost to license each agent, when many agents will infrequently use the system, and the full agent license cost is difficult to justify.
