Find out in this report how the two Help Desk Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has reduced the time to look up who is responsible for a service, and it has reduced the time to finalize a service request because it now goes directly to the person who is responsible for the service in that location. So, a service request is handled quickly and directly by the person responsible for it."
"I do like the workflow automation capabilities, where based upon certain actions, it will automatically go and route tickets to a particular person. It is fairly user-friendly."
"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"The overall functionality of the product is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility."
"The solution is very responsive with a 97% success rate in funneling customer tickets."
"It has a very easy, flexible model. You can open up a particular module and work on the next. That's what we did. Overall, it provides a simple way of getting your support teams up and running. That was one thing that I thought was quite easy to do."
"The portal is straightforward for the end-user, but that's not the best part of Freshservice. Integration is the part that's interesting because it's easy to set up a process. It's extremely simple to integrate. In one week, you can add change management. It's incredible."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
"The product should look at BCM or ServiceNow and see if there are features that would make nice additions. It would help them stay competitive."
"It's hard to interact directly with the users themselves."
"The analytics could be better."
"We haven't had any issues with the stability of Freshservice. However, we have had some issues with data imports, we have noticed that large amounts of data can get stuck. This is something that we haven't seen in other solutions."
"I am not too happy with the page layout or screen layout since it always looks messy."
"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"The round robin ticketing feature that they have is not ideal."
"The most significant area for improvement is consistency across the different modules, as they are inconsistent. It makes me think the modules have different development teams with no consistent approach. From an end-user perspective, I can do certain operations in one module, such as instant management, but not in problem management, for example, and I don't see why that should be the case. It would be good to see more consistency in the development process."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
