Overall Satisfaction with Freshservice

We use Freshservice as our primary helpdesk platform that managed all requests from our business to IT. These requests vary widely and include 24/7 support requests from individuals, requests for access to systems, requests for provisioning software/infrastructure, and requests for system changes/enhancements etcetera. The platform supports is configurable to support all these kinds of requests (tickets).
  • Configurable
  • Workflow/process management
  • Cloud based / online access via SSO
  • unsaved changes to a ticket can be easily lost
  • responses received via email from users when they rate a ticket can be confusing
  • streamlined workflow for tickets
  • better productivity for people responding to tickets
While I was not directly involved in the onboarding, I was aware of the efforts undertaken by the implementation team and it all seemed to work well and be fairly appropriate for such a tool.
I have not used Freshservice support so I cannot comment on this particular feature or provide a more specific rating
We previously used Kaseya and Freshservice is vastly more modern and superior platform.

Do you think Freshservice delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Freshservice's feature set?

Yes

Did Freshservice live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Freshservice go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Freshservice again?

Yes

For standard helpdesk/IT request processes Freshservice is very well suited and a great tool to use. Potentially if the request is complex it may be best handled outside of Freshservice. Similarly, a request can be a little more difficult to track/follow when there are many touchpoints/teams who have to handle it however it is still quite capable of managing this situation.
