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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Depending on the size of your organization, is pretty standard and useful."
"Freshservice is very user-friendly and easy to customize."
"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"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."
"What it's allowed us to do is bring everyone in our department into the journey of customer experience and customer service."
"We find its ability to track what's going on with each request very valuable."
"You can just register and within five to minute minutes, you are ready to go."
"One of the things I liked about Freshservice was how easy it was to implement. While it doesn't have extensive customization capabilities, the available options are sufficient for certain sizes of companies. You don't need to customize your ticketing system much. Freshservice is a great solution because you can implement it very quickly. You can upload your catalog, and you're done in maybe a week or two."
"The biggest impact has been on gathering info when something happens, like an error or a node goes down. We get an alert with all the relevant log events and with a clear next step to authorize. Result is saving 30 minutes for each incident and minimizing the likelihood of making mistakes or looking in the wrong place."
"StratoNext makes managing AWS infrastructure with AI agents easier and more secure."
"The sheer ability to get anything done while just discussing as if I had a consultant in front of me!"
 

Cons

"There are some limitations in reporting. For example, I would like to have a report of conversations or replies."
"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."
"I've had some problems with Freshservice's technical support. They often drag out cases by continually passing them on to other people, and they seem overeager to close tickets and sometimes mark them as resolved without checking first."
"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."
"The analytics could be better. We would like better visualization of items and KPIs, et cetera."
"The product should look at BCM or ServiceNow and see if there are features that would make nice additions. It would help them stay competitive."
"The only thing I would have against it right now is that the workflow automation is not as granular as we would like it to be, at least for the size of our organization."
"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"Some UI dialogs are quirky but the product is addressing every feedback I provide."
"Supporting multiple clouds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"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."
"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."
"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."
"Our licensing fee for Freshservice is $2,500 a year."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."
