Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very responsive with a 97% success rate in funneling customer tickets.""The admin feature is the UI, so it's very clean. The asset management and its model are valuable as well.""The most valuable feature is the sandbox, which allows me to test new configurations, automations, and workflows before taking them live on the production system.""The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility.""The most valuable feature of Freshservice is you can assign downloaded tickets and the reports are useful.""Depending on the size of your organization, is pretty standard and useful.""The overall functionality of the product is excellent.""It has a very easy, flexible model. You can open up a particular module and work on the next. That's what we did. Overall, it provides a simple way of getting your support teams up and running. That was one thing that I thought was quite easy to do."

"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there.""The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy.""Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation.""The integrations are quite simple and clear.""HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution.""The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable.""I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."

Cons
"There are some limitations in reporting. For example, I would like to have a report of conversations or replies.""You can't implement a complicated delivery workflow. We don't have the same problems with incident and change workflows. It's only for delivery workflow. They have a mechanism for modifying your incident or change workflow. There's a visual interface for that, so there's no reason not to have the same function for request management.""We'd like better integration with other products.""The ability to customize the user interface is a bit lacking, and the reporting is a bit lacking because they're very stringent upon what you can pull reporting-wise within Freshservice. They have a lot of built-in reports that are very nice, but when it comes to customizing these, they just provide you with certain data. When you try to build your own report wizard, you aren't able to go and select some of the data that is shown in some of the reports that come with Freshservice. This is something that we have brought up with our account representative, and we have suggested these as feature updates in the future. We're still waiting on them to go and implement something like that.""We'd like to see a CMDB, a Configuration Management Database, in the future.""Freshservice has issues around how assets get picked up, requiring a lot of parameter changes within to network to ensure the system discovers everything.""Not integrated with Google.""The most significant area for improvement is consistency across the different modules, as they are inconsistent. It makes me think the modules have different development teams with no consistent approach. From an end-user perspective, I can do certain operations in one module, such as instant management, but not in problem management, for example, and I don't see why that should be the case. It would be good to see more consistency in the development process."

More Freshservice Cons →

"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective.""We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds.""I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on.""The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor.""There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond.""Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow.""Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes.""Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is good for the price you pay. It has different plans. If you need all features, you need to go for a higher plan. Currently, with the second tier plan, you cannot completely separate the group of agents. So, the agent in each group can see another person's ticket. You also cannot modify the rules based on the viewable, readable stuff and cannot have a custom role in this plan. If you want to do that, you have to go for a higher plan. It works in our case because it doesn't matter if the other group can see our ticket because it doesn't contain anything sensitive. We also didn't need the project or change management features. That's why we didn't go with a higher plan."
  • "The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
  • "Its price is great. Its pricing is supposedly a lot less than ServiceNow and other alternatives."
  • "One of the key benefits of Freshservice is license management. Asset management has the possibility to keep track of licenses and that's very useful. The price of the solution is very good."
  • "The price of Freshservice could improve, it is expensive."
  • "It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."
  • "Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
  • "It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."
  • More Freshservice Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
  • "I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
  • "The product is affordable for small businesses."
  • "The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Freshservice solution.

    A Senior Helpdesk at a non-profit says, “I like the workflow automation capabilities, where based upon certain actions, it will automatically go and route tickets to a particular person. It is fairly user-friendly.”

    PeerSpot user Cesar Q., CIO at Grupo Kasto, mentions, “The analytics are very good. The solution offers very nice incident management. The overall functionality of the product is excellent. The change management is helpful. They have an agent that we installed in every single asset. We have the inventory for all assets automatically. Contract management is very valuable for us as an IT department, as we have the information for every single computer across the company. We are starting to use the project management aspects right now. We have different projects and we have all the information in the same solution, in the same place. It makes everything more centralized and easier to access. The user interface is very nice and the solution is easy to use. You don't need to be an expert in order to navigate around and use the product. You don't need to read a lot of manuals in order to figure everything out. It's pretty intuitive.”

    A Network Analyst at a real estate/law firm shares, "We find its ability to track what's going on with each request very valuable. We are also able to merge ticket requests and assign them to different groups in the company. We have another department that uses the same system."

    Automate workflows, eliminating costly manual processes, while making your business more efficient, compliant and secure. Whether you’re looking for an IT helpdesk/support ticket solution or need to perform more advanced ITIL service management processes, Ivanti Neurons for ITSM can easily scale and adapt to meet your specific business needs.
