Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has been stable."
"The solution facilitates a transition from an organizational structure that is function-based to a process-oriented approach."
"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."
"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"There is a nice user interface."
"What I have seen in Freshservice is there's no room for customization. Which works as an advantage in some cases and it works as a disadvantage in others. If you are someone that starts managing your IT services, it is a great solution, because there's no way to go out away from the direction of the system. You have to follow the process as it was intended for the designers of a solution because there's no room for customization or configuration."
"Freshservice has automated a lot of our tasks, including ticket responses and call assignments, which has sped up our operations considerably."
"The solution has been very helpful engineering insights into the client's environment. We have been able to manage calls and incidence very efficiently which provides us with a clear understanding of the system warranty and the actions that we might need to take in terms of insights. The system is very dynamic and prevents any kind of over sides which is yours that there is smooth contract management. Also we can easily uphold SLAs and deliver enhanced services without breaching any agreements."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The technical support is good."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
 

Cons

"Not integrated with Google."
"The chat portal is not that great."
"The reporting and management information (MI) are very limited, and stopped realistic and timely reporting on outstanding incidents."
"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."
"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"There is a need for improvement in terms of automatic escalation to the next level if an issue is not resolved."
"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."
"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 product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshservice is a fairly cheap solution. Though monthly payments can be made towards the licensing costs of the solution, my company prefers to make annual payments."
"The price of Freshservice could improve, it is expensive."
"Our licensing fee for Freshservice is $2,500 a year."
"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."
"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."
"There are some additional costs but not that many. For example, we have unlimited assets, which is something for which we pay extra. We also paid for additional orchestration. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing. They are right in the middle."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."
