What do you like best about Freshservice?

Freshservice is straight forward to use and fairly easy to set up, meaning that you don't need to spend months trying to get usage out of the product. We were using it live within 30 days of purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

FreshService has some rough edges that I wish were polished out some. The analytics/reporting is a bit clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Freshservice across our global operations, both as an IT service management (ITSM) and IT asset management (ITAM) tool, and as a ticketing system for multiple business departments. For IT, it helps us keep track of incidents, service requests, and assets in one place, making it easier to stay organized and respond quickly. The asset management side is a huge help for tracking hardware, software, and licenses across different locations, especially when it comes to audits and renewals. Other teams like HR, Facilities, and Finance also use Freshservice for handling internal requests. Having everything in one system makes it easier for employees to get the help they need without bouncing between different tools. Plus, the reporting features give us a clear view of service performance across teams. Overall, Freshservice helps keep things running smoothly, improves response times, and makes life easier for both our IT team and other departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

Freshservice has a default template when creating a new task or user story. Also we use the analytics chart for stories breakdown by user and burnt down charts are very effective. We integrated freshservice with slack and outlook so whenever there is an update on the ticket, the watchers will be notifiied and take action immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

I feel like complex workflow automation like assigning a task to next user based on the bandwidth is not possible. This is dine manually by verifying the scope of each user on the board. Also, mobile app does not support all the desktop features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use freshservice for tracking our project management. Stories creation and tasks for access requests are all created under the project board and tarcked based on the user including the story points. We integrated Freshservice with slack and outlook so whenever there is an update on the ticket all the watchers and assigned users will be notified directly thru slack and outlook. The tool is pretty self explanatory and easy to navigate even for a first time user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

What I like most about Freshworks is how easy it is to set up and use, with automation that integrates seamlessly with your email and chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

The limited customization for more complex workflows. It’s great for basic needs, but, it can feel restrictive if you have very specific requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshworks solving the problem of juggling too many tasks at once. It automating customer support and follow-ups, so I don’t have to do them manually. It also brings everything—like emails and chats—into one place, making it easier to stay on top of things. This saves me time and helps me run my business more smoothly without getting overwhelmed by the small stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

Freshworks has made the way our team work much more streamlined. We previously used very old school methods of incident management, direct emails to team members etc., and we needed to get our way of working sorted. We have been using FreshService for over 2 years now and have found the way it helps us work, and the simplicity especially of that work, has meant that we are simply more productive.

I have used many ITSM tools in the past, Remedy, Clarify, HP's ITSM behemoth tool, and all sorts of homebrew solutions, but none comes close to the clean and simple web-based approach of this product. Initial set up and configuration is quick and easy, and ongoing configuration change and user maintenance is straightforward. We can all see exactly what we're doing, ticket portability between workspaces is simple and transparent, and we have no issues. FreshService hss just become a part of the furniture for our Infrastructure team management, and now many other teams, as we are rolling out to the whole business.

In time, we are planning to roll out additional features of the product in phases, Change Management being one of the first to be looked at following the initial roll out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

Reporting is not as straightforward as it might be, but I'm an Infrastructure chap, and reporting is not one of my BAU responsibilities so perhaps it's not surprising that it has taken some time to get my head around it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Incident Management, it's just streamlining our BAU processes and daily work. Change Management and Problem Management are in sight to look at next too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

Freshservice ist unglaublich vielseitig und bietet Funktionen für nahezu jeden Bedarf. Wir nutzen es tagtäglich und schätzen besonders, wie einfach sich bestehende Dienste und Systeme dank der vielen verfügbaren Schnittstellen anbinden lassen. Trotz des großen Funktionsumfangs bleibt es relativ einfach zu administrieren, und der Kunden-Support ist hervorragend – schnell, kompetent und immer lösungsorientiert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

Ein kleiner Nachteil ist, dass die initiale Einrichtung in komplexeren Szenarien etwas mehr Zeit erfordert, da manche Funktionen oder Einstellungen etwas versteckt sein können. Dies ist jedoch eher ein einmaliger Aufwand und hat keinen Einfluss auf die langfristige Nutzbarkeit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshworks ermöglicht es uns, Probleme aus verschiedenen Unternehmen oder Abteilungen zentral zu erfassen, effizient zu bearbeiten und nachvollziehbare Lösungen bereitzustellen. Mit den umfangreichen Analyse- und Berichtsfunktionen können wir Muster erkennen und proaktiv Verbesserungen einführen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

We enjoy the number of features within FreshService that makes this well-rounded ITSM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

The reporting features are not well developed. There are a lot of basic reports that we use to run from our previous help desk system that we are unable to do within FreshService. E.g. report against a contract number to see the associated/linked assets. In some ways, the reporting is overcomplicated.

Most of our reports required from management are needed in list/table view and are required to be exported in excel format rather than in the view of widgets and charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asset discovery/management. By using the Discovery Probe we can now ensure we haven't missed any devices when manually importing them into FreshService. The data captured by the discovery probe such as the last logged in user is also extremely useful when coming up to End Of Lease so that we can view where the device is for easy replacement.

We are using Freshservice to integrate and work on service requests both for internal and external teams and easily track the requests and see that it is being handled by the relevant and right team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

The user interface can be more professional as well as ease of integration and wider integration option can be benefiecial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are managing the service request of internal and external teams for things like IT related or non IT related like HR or other employee benefits that may be required from time to time by the employees. This integrates very well with other internal tools we use and becomes very efficient overall for the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

Its ease of use, straightforward installation, excellent ticket management system, and rock-solid technical support are all features that I appreciate. Both tickets and assets are handled effectively. Our company's efficiency has been greatly enhanced by its customizable features, automated workflows, and ability to integrate with other applications. Any company that uses tickets to track tasks, automate processes, and keep track of assets would benefit greatly from this system's superior ticket monitoring and management capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

There should be more regular updates in the areas of change management and reporting, as these are often lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

It facilitates the management of customer service tickets and discussions with the business. It allows us to see what types of issues our customers are having and organize our support team accordingly. Our customer success, sales, and support teams all use the platform. We can track current support requests in real time as they are shared among a group of remote specialists, and we can store historical data that both our customers and internal teams can access.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

Freshservice offers a wide range of functionalities designed to streamline IT operations. This also makes it a good solution for B2B support.

It has a user-friendly interface and allows customization without a large use of external consultants.

Premium support is very good, with a dedicated team of support, arcitects, product specialists and more available on short notice included in the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

No major downsides, but products B2B functionalty/focus (Portal as an example) need some improvements to get at the same level as the ITSM side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice supports our B2B software support. Usage helps us both to deliver a better service and to ensure that nothing are "lost". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

FreshService has a friendly UI which allows an easy track of tickers and tasks. In addition, the several services included allows to automate several processes. Also, every times I need support, I get fast answers and in case they cannot give me the service by email, a call takes place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

When I did a migration process using the Workspace Organizer, some of the items from one workspace to another where not included to automatically migrate, making me involve lots of time into manual implementation. Also, I was negatively surprised about some FreshService management supposedly to test the differces between IT and Business agents and telling me that only a few differences, and I find out several differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows a cetralised way to manage, document and assign tickets opened by our employees, ensuring an effective communication and solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
