Freshservice Reviews

The absolute ease-of-use cannot be matched. 

This product got me an ITIL help desk with a polished and simple knowledge base for my users in less than a day of configuration. Most help desk solutions are really outdated and clunky, or so complex they take a tremendous effort to implement correctly. 

Freshservice was up and running without any expensive project planning, and all that without sacrificing features. It's a fully functional help desk, and then some.

The end user-facing portal with the Solutions Library immediately improved our users' abilities to find their own answers. We were able to embed the widget in our SharePoint environment, allowing users to interact with the help desk from a familiar interface without having to open anything new.

It's still a new product, so there are some areas that are a little frustrating. For example, the titles on catalog requests are so generic that they are completely unhelpful. 

There is also not yet a way to set the due date based in a calculated value from a ticket field. For example, to set a New Employee task as due a day before the Expected Start Date on the request.

We've had no issues with deployment.

We've had no issues with stability.

We've had no issues with scalability.

It has several valuable features, including:

• Incident management
• Web interface for staff with Active Directory authentication/pass-through
• Portals/screens can be fully re-branded with images and custom colors

It's allowed us to gain feedback through the system from our staff and has given much better visibility and reporting on incidents and requests throughout our IT team.

I'd like to see better reporting on changes and as well as enhancements to the task/time function. It also needs more customizable workflows for user forms.

I've used it since February 2015.

We've had no issues with deployment.

It's been stable and we've had no issues with instability.

It's scaled sufficiently for us.

Technical support is good. I give them 7/10.

Hornbill Supportworks was the previous tool. Freshservice was chosen as it is intuitive and easy to use for support staff and customers, allowing for quick adoption.

It was extremely easy to set up. We had it up and running in less than an hour.

We implemented it in-house. Implementation was very straightforward and intuitive.

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. We've gotten much better feedback from staff on the system, and support staff has been able to easily keep track of tickets.

There are different licensing models, so I'd suggest evaluating first to understand exactly what functionality is required, and then expanding when required. Switching models is simple and immediate.

If you're looking for web-based ticket-management systems, it should be on the evaluation list. Given the setup is so simple, it could be evaluated very quickly from a functionality point-of-view.

We are using Freshservice for customer service.

The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility.
