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.

The knowledge base was instrumental in elevating our self-help tools for clients. We took all of our user guides to the cloud, as well as other client-facing documents.
I would like to see more flexibility in UserVoice when it comes to content sharing / privacy. We have clients with custom builds, and I would like to have an easy way to host all of their custom content in the same KB and maintain those articles that are only visible to those clients. When I was with ReadyPoint, we had public content (applicable to every client) and private content (applicable only to one client's customizations, etc.). We were told by UserVoice that there was not a way to control who could see what content on a KB at the article level, and so parts of the information available on the KB (for example, the article about logging in and password setup) was not applicable to a large section of our clients (who had a custom login screen), and therefore caused lots of confusion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"The solution has been stable."
"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."
"I would recommend it if you're looking for a really quick way of getting your help desk up and running with a ticketing system and some pretty cool automation with emails, notifications, etc."
"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."
"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 solution facilitates a transition from an organizational structure that is function-based to a process-oriented approach."
"The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility."
"It has helped us to improve our response time to users, thus giving them a better experience from support."
"I can respond to customers extremely fast, which helps reinforce our company's image and culture as a friendly and responsive startup."
"If your core team of support and content managers adopts this platform and works within its structure, they'll benefit from a clean, easy-to-handle interface that grows quickly and makes their lives much easier!"
 

Cons

"Freshservice's technical support has issues with delays and translations."
"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."
"Some of the ways that tasks are reported on and shown can be better. You can't see tasks in your regular ticket list view. You can't see a combo view of tasks and tickets. It is a little bit difficult to get a solid overview of your list of things to do. You can only see them in separate views, instead of one single view."
"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 analytics could be better. We would like better visualization of items and KPIs, et cetera."
"Currently, we can have only one plan per subscription. All users have to be on the same plan."
"We did a review of our project management tool internally within the company, and it was one of the choices, but it didn't match up anywhere close to any of the other tools we were considering."
"The analytics could be better."
"The idea forum is lacking in features, it doesn’t allow you to attached files when commenting on an idea."
"Right now, I can only respond to customers. I really want the ability to compose and send a message to individual customers prior to them contacting us."
"We were told by UserVoice that there was not a way to control who could see what content on a KB at the article level, and so parts of the information available on the KB (for example, the article about logging in and password setup) was not applicable to a large section of our clients (who had a custom login screen), and therefore caused lots of confusion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"Our licensing fee for Freshservice is $2,500 a year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"The cost at the current timing is very reasonable but as the product gains popularity, I anticipate it might become expensive. Fortunately my customers have been offered a generous discount making it more affordable for me and satisfying both my needs and customers requirement."
"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."
