Overall Satisfaction with Freshservice

Its only used in one part of organization and we currently only use the Change Management module, but I hope to expand this over the coming months/years. The biggest problem was getting authorisation to use a different toolset than rest of group, although there was was not preferred company tool. This actually was quite easy when I listed our needs and the compared it to other major competitors toolsets as Freshservice was far cheaper and with the added bonus of very easy to customise (something we could do inhouse). The licencing model and flexibility was also another major deciding factor.
  • Allows the user (with admin rights) to customise and change workflows very easily
  • Licencing model is very flexible allowing quick changes as demand changes
  • User Support
  • Able to change some of the built in reports (example CAB agenda)
  • The calendar view could be more configurable
  • Limit on PDF report - 100 lines, although OK to export in CSV so not a deal breaker.
  • Much better understanding of change success factors
  • Increased service availability
  • much more time saving automation
Everything is kept as simple as possible and the ability to customise your instance without impacting any future release conflicts is great. The help available is great online and using the service desk.
First rate. Always fast and if they cant fix on first contact, but first line are very knowledgable, they will take issue away and come back with answer.
For our use much better. So much cheaper and simple to setup, up and running is days not months# being able to configure in house is a massive advantage for us and SO MUCH CHEAPER..
