We picked FreshService over ServiceNow We picked FreshService over ServiceNow, XenDesk and Spiceworks. The instance is easy to set up and customize, and their support is always fast and helpful. It's way cheaper than ServiceNow and gives a lot of the same features. It's not as customizable, but unless you have a very large organization, an MSP, or highly stringent requirements you can get a lot of the same functionality without paying an arm, leg, spleen and part of your first born.

Ever improving... We've been using Freshservice for some time and it keeps getting better. The team are really quick to respond to support issues, and the management are great at engaging with customers. They clearly want to keep improving the product and when we do find areas that don't quite meet our needs they are always keen to develop the product to overcome this, or point us in the right direction.

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.

Freshservice is great, Software module is terrible Freshservice is great in many ways, but some (to me) parts are just terrible. The Software module is outrageously bad and needs A LOT of work. Looking into the support articles and the marketing surrounding the Software module, I don't think anyone at Freshworks is actually using it. If you did, you would immediately notice the glaring flaws that make it completely unusable if you want to do anything other than just keep a long list.

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.
