Absolutely dumb Absolutely dumb. The platform does not have a 'compose' button to initiate a conversation with a customer. Said again, you cannot simply click and text a customer, you cannot START an email with a customer.. you just can't do it. They say it's designed as a 'reply only' platform but if someone calls in and you need to send them an email or a text response, you will have to go into a completely different tab than your freshworks inbox.. you will have to create a customer journey and take about 4 other steps.. just to send a single email. Literally the absolute worst platform we've looked at because of this.

FreshService -One of the most GOTO tool FreshService portal is very easy to use from admin and user end.We have been using this as an enterprise level system for addressing tickets and it has been very instrumental for making us achieve that.When we have any issues,we email or call the support team and they respond to our issue in absolutely no time!Strongly recommend this!

Works out of the box... I was looking for an out of the box coud solution which followed ITIL best practices and required Little configuration. FRESHSERVICE is this. It took me only a couple of hourse to setup and my team began tu use it with no problems. After a few weeks of putting it into production I checked the reports and bingo... With no configuration I was getting KPIs and relevant information. Support is quick and knowledgeable, not only about the tool but about ITIL.

Works, could be better If you had the interface and workflow of Freshdesk, with the added features (asset management) of Freshservice, you'd have a winner. Freshservice's API is limited (although what's there does work, it's limited and puts way too much work on FS devs to do work your own devs should be able to do), the UI is inconsistent and clunky. But, it's get the job done and the mobile app is very useful.

My experience with FreshService… We have been working with FreshService for that past 2 years. It has always run smoothly. We never had an outage. Whenever we needed help or guidance, I logged a ticket and someone always replied within a couple of hours and had a solution for us immediately or the at the latest the next day. Up to now, I found analytics a bit complicated and although I constructed widgets, I could not get the detailed reports required for our KPIs. I always export tickets and analyze the metrics manually. I haven't had time to check out the new improvements you brought on end of August but will do so this month. Hopefully analytics are easier to use and i will start using the reports I get from Analytics.
