Overall Satisfaction with Freshservice

We use it as an IT ticketing systems to log issues for resolution. The system allows us to track and monitor issue resolutions. This translates to better efficiency and productivity. The scope includes staff, parents and students to log their tickets For staff, they have the options to log via email and using the Freshservice Portal.
  • SLA setup allows us to prioritize tickets
  • Assignment of tickets with the ability to generate report on the distribution of tickets
  • Setup of Knowledge Base allows for self-help on Portal
  • Some missing functionalities on mobile app vs web-based platform
  • AI not intuitive enough that re-opens resolved tickets when user reply by email
  • Not able to capture Google Chat/Soft Phone Call as ticket
  • Increase service level with less complaints
  • Reduced man hours = higher productivity that allows time for planning and administrative work
  • Ease of ticket tracking and collaboration
The setup and configuration are easy and do not require maintenance and support.
They are quick to respond and equivalently quick to close the tickets. One area of improvement is that the support could have delve deeper to the issue and understanding the user's issues.
autotask was what we sunset. ServiceNow was not selected but checked all of the boxes and Freshservice was chosen because it is cost-efficient.

For users who logged tickets via email or portal, there is the ease to do so. However, when the users appear at Helpdesk Window, there is no easy way to capture the tickets without a user login. As we operate in a school and have walk-ins, we are missing out on this traffic to capture the number of incidents.
