Overall Satisfaction with Freshservice

We use Freshservice as our IT Help Desk. We have two dozen agents, but only some of those are actively using it every day. Our tier 1 support is where it is used the most. We also use the Freshservice agent to take stock of our inventory, it has helped us keep track of our assets across multiple locations. We use the Software Catalog to keep track of installed applications to a degree, but mostly use it to identify problem applications. The reporting/analytics module has helped us identify which systems need to be upgraded.
  • Good layout for a help desk, easy to read and respond to messages in either the portal, email, or Teams.
  • Analytics and Reporting widgets are intuitive and easy to use
  • Extensibility and plugin is good and getting better
  • Inventory system is good but computers don't show their graphics cards though they report on all other hardware
  • Onboarding system is good but could use more automation features built in by default
  • Automation overall is good, but I would welcome more direct support for popular HR recruiting software
  • For Tier 1 support, I feel the impact has been positive. Our old system was quite clunky and slow
There's room for improvement in their onboarding module. The no-code automation for tickets is good. I wish there was more support for our specific HR apps we use.
Freshservice is always quick to answer and follow up any issues we've had.
