While Freshservice is a robust and reliable platform, some users report minor limitations, such as the need for more customization options in certain workflows and the lack of some advanced reporting features. Additionally, the initial setup can be somewhat complex, requiring extra time for adaptation. However, these aspects do not significantly affect the overall experience with the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshworks?

I've been using Freshdesk for a while now, and it has truly streamlined the way we handle customer support. It offers an intuitive interface and a suite of modern tools that make managing support effortless. One of the standout features is how it consolidates tickets from various channels—email, social media, and phone—into a single workspace, ensuring our team stays organized and responsive. The integrations have also been a game-changer, saving us time and improving efficiency. Overall, Freshdesk has been a reliable and user-friendly solution that has significantly enhanced our customer service experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

There are a few aspects that could be improved. The associated subscription cost is a bit on higher side, especially since some advanced features are locked behind higher-tier plans. Additionally, more customization options are required for business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshworks has helped to tackle some of the biggest concerns in customer support. It helped in segregating emails, social media messages, chat, and phone. Freshdesk simplified by pulling everything into one page, so teams don’t have to waste time switching between different platforms.

Customer data download Compilation. Freshdesk’s reporting and analytics tools make it easier to spot trends, measure performance, and fine-tune support strategies.

From a user’s perspective, these features make a real difference—faster responses, better segregation, and smoother interactions with customers. Freshdesk makes customer support feel a lot more friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

What I particularly appreciate about Freshservice is that all incoming tickets arrive in an organized system. Every request can be tracked seamlessly – nothing gets lost in the support void. Customers receive transparency about the current status at any time through their own portal. And our new service shop is quietly evolving in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

A disadvantage of Freshservice is the limited expandability of ticket processing. Features like automatic time tracking for TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or phone sessions are currently missing. This would be a relief for us as a service provider. The analytics portal does not always provide the level of detail we need for our reports. As an IT system house on behalf of clients, we sometimes miss the levers to map processes individually. For onboarding and offboarding, we have also built our own solution via the service catalog, which can then be customized for clients through the workflow automator. The onboarding and offboarding process natively depicted in Freshservice may be good for a corporate solution, but not for an MSP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problem

We are still at the beginning with Freshservice and miss essential functions in the ticket system – such as automatic time tracking for TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or phone sessions, as well as in-depth evaluations in the analysis portal. Individual adjustments for our customer workflows are largely missing.

Freshservice Solution

Freshservice offers an open API and an app marketplace through which we can retrofit time tracking integrations for remote tools. Custom fields and expandable reporting dashboards allow us to capture and evaluate exactly the data we need. Automated workflows and webhooks ensure that processes are mapped as we are accustomed to in-house.

Benefits for us

– Less additional effort: Manual time tracking is eliminated, connections run automatically.

– Full transparency: Reports provide the level of detail we need for our customer billing and service optimization.

– Scalability: With ready-made integrations and flexible fields, we can adapt Freshservice to new requirements at any time – without major development effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

Freshservice is a solid and flexible platform that checks many of the boxes for our organization's needs. It’s extensive in functionality, and if you have the right team and resources, you can customize it to suit nearly any use case. From ticket management, integrations with other systems, to workflows and automation, the platform offers a lot of depth and scalability. The interface is modern and generally intuitive, making it easier for users to adopt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

The main challenge we face is with the support experience. While the support team is courteous and eager to help, the fact that they are based overseas has introduced a language and communication barrier that makes deeper problem-solving difficult. Their suggestions often feel canned or generic, which doesn't help us implement solutions tailored to our specific environment. This makes it hard to fully adopt some of the more advanced features without investing a lot of time internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice provides us with a unified platform (a single pane of glass) for managing and tracking tickets across all the organizations we support. This centralized visibility has greatly improved communication and accountability across teams. It ensures that nothing falls through the cracks and that all requests are properly documented and tracked from submission to resolution.

The automation features help reduce manual tasks, speeding up resolution times and improving overall efficiency. It also helps us standardize processes, enforce SLAs, and gather valuable metrics through reporting and dashboards, which aid in continuous service improvement. The knowledge base and self-service portal have helped deflect common tickets, empowering users to find solutions on their own and reducing the workload on our support staff.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

FreshService has proven to be a fast and flexible application for our agents. We rolled out FreshService in several stages as we moved away from our old on-prem solution. We have been able to integrate FreshService with several monitoring tools as well as an on-premise orchestration server to take over some manual tasks and automate them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

While new features are coming out monthly, some basic features like syntax highlighting are missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

FreshService has many modules that solved lots of problems for us. One of the biggest time savers so far has been the ability to create tickets from nearly anything. We used to get a lot of ticket noise from our Networking Monitoring Software. The Alerts module in FreshService allows us to create tickets automatically from Alerts, but one of the nicest features is the ability to consolidate alerts. Instead of creating additional tickets, FreshService is smart enough to know that a ticket already exists for the issue; therefore, it just adds the alert occurrence without creating an additional ticket. This one feature alone has saved my agents tons of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

We love the automation rules we implemented in Fresh service, for example when we set the cases as SO (Solution Offered), Pending, or any specific status, we have implemented a three strikes rule, where follow up emails are being sent automatically. This saves a lot of time because previously in Salesforce this was done manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

So far I don't really dislike something in particular, we are already using this service to handle the tickets, one of our engineers did the ticket migration, and we are still in the process of configuring everything, so nothing so far that we dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use FS mainly to handle the cases that our customers are opening either through the portal or by sending an email to the support email address. We also use it for reporting, get the analytics of the cases we are receiving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Although Freshservice is a very efficient tool, I believe that some reports could be more customizable and detailed to further facilitate performance analysis. Additionally, some integrations require manual adjustments that could be more automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice is helping us centralize and automate ticket management, reducing manual errors and increasing efficiency in customer service.

Freshworks platform has been a welcome change for me and honestly refreshing to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshworks?

There's so much, we haven't been able to make use of it all yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has a board view that I love and is friendly for our agents to use. We use Fresh Service and can identify problems and map the tickets that are dealing with the same problem. We can keep track of reoccurring “Problems” and make sure that a resolution is found. We can input that resolution, and we can create “Solutions” to issues that are searchable in a Knowledgebase. Onboarding and Offboarding are part of our “Employee Journeys” dropdown. We use “Changes” management within the application. There is “Assets” management that is convenient to have as well. We enjoy diverse “Reporting” capabilities for our team’s statistics. There’s even more in “Projects” management and without further explanation I recommend. So full and fun as well!

What do you like best about Freshservice?

As a growing business operating in a fully remote environment, we recognise the importance of having a modern, efficient, and reliable IT service management tool. After evaluating 2-3 options, we chose Freshservice, and it has proven to be a transformative tool in the way we manage IT operations, streamline asset management, and deliver an exceptional service to both internal employees and external customers.

Freshservice has enabled us to drive efficiency across the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Reporting seems a little clunky but gives us what we need right now. It's early days in diving into that aspect of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice reduces manual effort via the workflow automation feature. It accelerates ticket resolution time with the introduction of Freddy AI who deflects common issues and surfaces knowledge articles. It gives us far more options for employees to contact IT and raise requests in a more formal manner. it consolidates all requests across IT & HR.

We have improved asset monitoring and tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freshservice?

It’s made a huge difference for us. Freshservice gave our global IT team one place to manage tickets, requests, and changes — with a clean interface and smooth workflows. Since rollout, we’ve cut resolution times by around 35% and seen productivity go up by 25%. The service catalog, automation, and Microsoft 365 integration have made things easier for both IT and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freshservice?

Reporting could be a bit more flexible — building custom dashboards for our specific needs takes work. And for our China users, there are occasional performance hiccups. But overall, it’s a solid platform and those are just areas to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freshservice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freshservice has helped us bring structure to how we manage incidents, service requests, and changes across regions. Before this, things were more scattered. Now with automation and a proper service catalog, the team’s more productive, tickets get resolved faster, and we have better visibility into what’s happening across departments.
