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.

Jack of all trades Great tool! It's a jack of all trades. Does everything my team wants. Very intuitive UI. We were able to get up and running pretty quickly.

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.

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.

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.
