Freshservice Reviews & Product Details

What I value most about Freshservice is how it has professionalized service delivery across our entire chain, creating a single source of truth for every request. The intuitive, consumer-grade portal has been a game-changer for our non-technical staff; trainers and front-desk employees can now report a broken air conditioner or a software issue with the same ease as ordering something online, which has led to widespread adoption. The out-of-the-box workflows for facilities and IT management allowed us to launch quickly, bringing immediate structure to processes that were once entirely ad-hoc. Furthermore, the integrated IT Asset Management module has given us, for the first time, complete visibility and control over our entire inventory of equipment—from exercise machines to network hardware—enabling us to shift from costly reactive repairs to strategic, proactive maintenance.

The primary challenge was the initial design phase to mold the platform to our specific hybrid of IT and physical asset management. While flexible, configuring the service catalog, approval chains, and SLAs to seamlessly handle everything from a leaky faucet ticket to a corporate software rollout required careful planning. For a lean operations team, fully leveraging the advanced AI and automation features to their potential is an ongoing journey. It demands a dedicated investment of time to configure and trust the system's predictive insights, which can be a stretch when managing day-to-day firefights across multiple locations.

I really appreciate the wide range of features available in Freshservice. We switched from a competitor who charged us more while offering fewer features. With Freshservice, we've managed to consolidate three separate apps into a single platform, which has not only reduced our costs but also made things much simpler for our team, since we now only need to use one place to get our work done. We also really enjoy the app marketplace, this was a game changer for us and made Freshservice even better due to the ease of integration between it and other apps.

Although having many features is beneficial, I found that it can make the software less intuitive for newcomers. When we first started using it, understanding everything was a bit challenging. However, after spending considerable time researching and experimenting, we managed to figure out how all the features work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My team's efficiency is the most important thing as the Head of Marketing at a software company. Although I am not part of the IT department, the Freshservice implementation by the operations team was great and the impact of the department was very positive from the first moment. The main highlight of the product is its ease of use; filing tickets for whatever it is, be it graphic design requests or new software access, is absolutely straightforward through the portal. Thanks to the automated ticket routing, our requests are handed over to the right person or team without any waiting time. I employ it regularly, and the openness it offers, which lets me know the status of my team's requests, has been a great change from which internal emails and meetings for follow-ups have been largely eliminated.

While the number of features is impressive, the initial setup for some of the more advanced workflow automations required considerable effort from our IT lead. For a smaller company without a dedicated admin, this could be a hurdle. Furthermore, while generally responsive, we did experience a delay in customer support resolution for a complex integration question early on. It was eventually solved, but the initial response time was slower than we had hoped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is powerful, the reporting and analytics features could be more flexible and customizable. Sometimes, the dashboard takes time to load when there are a large number of tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the variety of options available for organizing tickets, such as tags, categories, due dates, and urgency levels. I also find it helpful that it allows me to save canned responses, even with attachments included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it frustrating that the system doesn't let you save tickets in separate folders or snooze them. This becomes especially problematic when you have more than 50 tickets, as it makes it hard to manage them efficiently. As a result, some tickets may go unattended for days, which is a significant drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Freshservice because it's straightforward and fairly easy to use. The interface is clean and makes navigating various IT service tasks uncomplicated. I appreciate that Freshservice is a large platform encompassing a diverse range of IT service needs, from asset management to purchase order management, which helps solve a variety of problems efficiently. Additionally, I value its capabilities in handling tasks like ticketing, asset management, and PO management. Even though I currently don't utilize all its features like project, task, or change management, I appreciate that these options are available, should I choose to leverage them in the future. Overall, it functions fairly well for the tasks I require it to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am really disappointed with the limitations of Freshservice, which aren't apparent until you try to use the product in a more complex manner. It's frustrating that these limitations become evident only at that point. However, the most significant issue for me is the poor account management and support from Freshservice. Often when I contact support, they are unable to articulate how their product should work or they open a ticket that can remain unresolved for nine months without any substantial answers. The initial deployment also took quite a while because of various issues and the inadequate support received, which added to the difficulty. Overall, the lack of knowledgeable support makes it difficult to utilize the product effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Freshservice for its versatility in supporting multiple departments beyond just IT, especially for ticketing and support, which has been incredibly beneficial for our organization as we've expanded its use. The ability to customize its submission board to fit the specific needs of different departments stands out, making it highly adaptable. I also appreciate the built-in features such as canned responses and FAQ capabilities, which enhance communication and support efficiency. The automation capabilities that streamline various workflows significantly contribute to improved productivity. Furthermore, I found the initial setup of Freshservice to be very easy; the single sign-on feature worked perfectly on the first attempt, which was a relief and made onboarding straightforward.

I think that the journey model could be improved, as some of the functionalities from the old onboarding module are missing. Even though it's a new model, there's room for enhancement, and I hope it continues to evolve. Sometimes, email authentication doesn't work properly and requires workarounds, which could be streamlined for a more seamless setup experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Freshservice for its simplicity, especially for agents and administrators navigating the ticketing and service catalog. This straightforwardness makes managing tasks much easier and less time-consuming. I also find it very simple to initially set up, which saves us a lot of effort and resources right from the start. Additionally, the product stands out for ticketing and price, making it the best option available right now based on these factors. When it comes to recommending Freshservice, I would give it a 10, as it offers an excellent blend of features and affordability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the 'Journeys' feature to be problematic due to persistent bugs, making it a real headache. Additionally, it's frustrating when it's necessary to run it by the clients we install for, likely because the bugs complicate the process and reflect poorly during client interactions.
