Smooth incident management and easy to use while needing better escalation management
We are using Freshservice for the IT ticketing system for business users We use the ticketing system primarily, which is very easy to use for all users. Freshservice is helpful, especially in incident management. Incident management is very helpful, and the system is straightforward, making it…
NR
Plenty of features, stable, and scalable
The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations. I have found Symantec Asset Management Suite does not integrate well with Microsoft solutions, which in the corporate world is a large disadvantage. They are currently lagging behind Microsoft. The cloud version of this solution is not very convenient or comparable to other solutions, they need to improve it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution’s timely automated triggers increase our IT team’s productivity."
"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 most valuable feature is the sandbox, which allows me to test new configurations, automations, and workflows before taking them live on the production system."
"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"The overall functionality of the product is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility."
"The solution facilitates a transition from an organizational structure that is function-based to a process-oriented approach."
"Freshservice's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"Symantec Asset Management Suite has better features than some of its competitors, such as the Microsoft Configuration Manager."
 

Cons

"Freshservice could improve the integration with Microsoft Outlook."
"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."
"A chat bot needs to be added to the portal."
"Freshservice's technical support has issues with delays and translations."
"I would suggest that Freshservice enhance its technical capabilities, particularly when it comes to ICT network discovery."
"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"The analytics could be better."
"The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
"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."
"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."
"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution was reasonable a couple of years ago but now it is expensive."
