Automation and AI have transformed our service delivery and have made IT support faster and more efficient
I always keep up with Freshservice's roadmaps and new features. Freshservice has been very good at listening to feedback and adding those feature requests into their next iterations. I wish they would offer more granular data export options for utilizing in Power BI, along with predictive analytics for capacity planning and SLA breaches to enable more proactive support management and reduce firefighting. While the dashboards are effective, some users find custom reporting limited compared to ServiceNow or Jira. I would also appreciate deeper integrations, especially for niche apps requiring development coding work to enable advanced orchestration. Native integrations for DevOps pipelines such as GitHub Actions and Jenkins, along with stronger API flexibility for complex workflows, would enhance functionality. Although the CMDB and asset management are solid, they do lack advanced dependency mapping compared to other enterprise tools. My wishlist includes automated impact analysis for changes and improved visualization of asset relationships, enabling quicker resolutions from an agent's perspective when alerts come in. I acknowledge that Device42 may enhance this, but it is an extra cost beyond what we already pay. While Freddy AI is excellent for triage and suggestions, some users desire more proactive automation, such as predictive ticket routing based on historical patterns and AI-driven capacity forecasting. Lastly, the pricing tiers might seem rigid for mid-sized teams, so a more granular add-on option for features such as Device42 or pay-per-use for orchestration workflows could be beneficial.

Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its ease of use is fantastic; it is just above and beyond, especially when you compare it to something like Cherwell, Salesforce, or anything like that, and it is on its own level."
"We really like the Freshchat widget that allows people to engage with our FAQs on any kind of webpage or web property."
"It has reduced the time to look up who is responsible for a service, and it has reduced the time to finalize a service request because it now goes directly to the person who is responsible for the service in that location. So, a service request is handled quickly and directly by the person responsible for it."
"The solution facilitates a transition from an organizational structure that is function-based to a process-oriented approach."
"Freshservice is more stable and easier to use; it's also less expensive, and for small and medium-sized organizations, it's quite good."
"Freshservice is very user-friendly and easy to customize."
"Freshservice's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"We have definitely seen a return on investment based on the use cases we have implemented."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"The technical support is good."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
 

Cons

"Asset management can definitely be improved because it doesn't pick up every single device on the network or every single piece of information. Some manual information still needs to be entered."
"I would suggest that Freshservice enhance its technical capabilities, particularly when it comes to ICT network discovery."
"Currently, we can have only one plan per subscription. All users have to be on the same plan."
"There is room for improvement in reporting for project management."
"We'd like better integration with other products."
"You can't implement a complicated delivery workflow."
"They're not very good at technical support."
"It is 80% stable. Some users face issues in Chrome and Firefox."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshservice's licensing costs are pretty good, and it has different categories of pricing based on what modules and features you choose, which gives a lot of flexibility."
"The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"I don't think it's expensive for the US or some European markets. Still, when I used Freshservice in Mexico, some customers found it a bit pricey, especially considering the platform's features. I think the pricing is fair for use in the European market, but it might be perceived differently in Latin America."
"Its price is great. Its pricing is supposedly a lot less than ServiceNow and other alternatives."
"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."
"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."
"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."
