Raja Farrar - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Service Delivery Manager at Symposiam
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.

Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the key benefits of Freshservice is license management."
"The product is loaded with all the features you need."
"What it's allowed us to do is bring everyone in our department into the journey of customer experience and customer service."
"The solution’s timely automated triggers increase our IT team’s productivity."
"Due to our previous system being so poor, our ROI was effectively immediate as staff could easily log tickets via email, web, or over phone."
"The overall functionality of the product is excellent."
"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."
"It has greatly improved the process of ticket triaging."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
 

Cons

"It is 80% stable. Some users face issues in Chrome and Firefox."
"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"While we're just starting with project management, I foresee some limitations with it two or three years down the line."
"There are some limitations in reporting. For example, I would like to have a report of conversations or replies."
"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."
"It's still a new product, so there are some areas that are a little frustrating."
"In hindsight, Freshservice isn't the solution we should have chosen, as it's just not customisable enough."
"There is a need for improvement in terms of automatic escalation to the next level if an issue is not resolved. It should optimize and allow customization. Additionally, asset management needs improvement."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."
"The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/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."
"I can't recall exactly how much we pay, but it is somewhere in the middle compared to the rest of the market. The more we purchase, the cheaper it becomes, and I think the solution offers good value for money."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Compared to other tools, Freshservice is affordable."
"The price of Freshservice could improve, it is expensive."
"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
