Freshservice Scalability

Tim Guilder - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Production Technology at ITV

The product is easily scalable with a variety of options. You can get a license immediately if you need an extra agent such as a freelance support engineer.

Our account manager follows up with me week by week. If I need to add a license for an agent, it can be easily done. We have 444 agent users, but we have about 40,000 requesters.

Its usage is intermediate currently. We are planning to increase its usage. We are currently calculating how many users we are looking to add.

The solution is scalable. However, it depends on how many users you have within your environment. Right now, we have 4,000 users.

We are planning to move away from the solution and therefore will not increase usage. We're downgrading it pretty much to an archiving feature by year's end.

The solution can scale well. 

We have a couple of different deployments. In our specific deployment that I'm attached to, we would have about 40 users.

We have seen growth inside of our organization. We're not the only team that uses it. There's a second team, and they're much larger. They have about 150 users.

We've seen other scaled deployments for other purposes because of the success we've seen with Fresh. Will we see more growth in our specific HR area? Probably not. We're a small HR shop.

CIO at Grupo Kasto

The scalability is okay. However, if you have more than 100 or 200 agents how the performance will be.

We had started with five, then with 10, then with 15 and now we have 20 or more. We don't need to report or to ask that they increase the capacity planning or anything of that nature. It was very transparent and so far very easy for us to scale up.

We may increase usage in the future.

Scalability didn't seem to be an issue. It was probably about working out the best licensing model. We had some administrative people, and we had users as well. For Freshservice, we had about 150 users.

The product is highly scalable. The only barrier is the cost. The more agents, the higher the price, although the more we buy, the cheaper the agents become. As the solution is cloud-based, users access it via URL, which helps make it very scalable.

We have 800 to 900 end-users in total, with 20 or 25 admins.

The solution is scalable for users. We currently have 2,000 users and 150 agents who provide service. We utilize PowerShell when creating users and groups because it simplifies the task. 

Scaling to unlock cross-group or other features requires a pack upgrade.

Business Systems Analyst at a transportation company with 5,001-10,000 employees

It is scalable. We're their third largest customer, or we used to be. I don't know if we still are. It works very well for us.

We use it very extensively, and we're looking at expanding to additional teams. We have about 300 users. In this instance, I have 200, and then in another instance, I have 30 right now. I'll have another hundred in the next couple of months. We're bringing all of our dispatch operations into it. It is going to be a big list.

From a scalability perspective, it is really good, but Freshcaller isn't. We can't use their full suite of solutions because even though Freshservice is extremely scalable on its own, when we're looking at upselling to Freshcaller, they just can't support the fact that we do a million minutes a month, which is a lot.

Managing Director at Kyxis Technologies

The scalability is really appreciated as it has helped us to onboard all our clients in a single platform and manage their cause by streamlining the invoicing processes. It is serving as a valuable tool for generating revenue. The scalability can be rated as a 9 out of 10 because it is always room for improvement.

The scalability may be limited. I'm not sure it can handle enterprise-level deployments. 

I've done implementations for up to 2,000 users. 

The users are unlimited. The licensing is based on how many agents and end users you have; there is no limit.

There will be a team managing the tickets. They are mainly on the service desk or customer support. As an end user, you will be raising a ticket and I'll be looking at the ticket. If I need to log into the system and look at the ticket, I need a license. It's based on that agent licensing.

BJ
Senior Helpdesk at a non-profit with 51-200 employees

Its scalability seems good. We've more than doubled in size since we first implemented it. It has been able to handle that amount of growth. However, reporting and customization of the user interface for your different service catalog forms could be improved. Just the fact that they're not very customizable is a problem for further scalability, but for the price, it is pretty good. 

We have about 300 employees across all departments who use this solution. It is being extensively used at the moment in the organization. Its usage will increase even more with growth in the company. We're constantly adding new employees.

We do not have that many accounts or customers. I can't speak to how well it can scale. 

We have less than 50 users at this point. 

We might expand it 10% or 20%. Not more than that.

JV
Director de Servicios Profesionales at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

On the subscription, we have the possibility of scaling Freshservice to other business processes. If you are working with ITSM and suddenly you have the need to go further with your project managing processes, you can use what the solution already has included, which is project management. However, what I see is, that it is complicated to scale what you already have. For example, if you're working with incident management and you have, a baseline for incident management, and you use most of the features in that baseline. If you try to step up and start including some additional functionality, it's just not going to be possible because of the lack of customization. 

Since you cannot do customizations often in the solution, you are going to have to be able to manage what you have. You're not going to be able to customize or modify things, that might add a little optimization or automation to your incident process management.

We are in the training phase with Freshservice. We have five people who are working as administrators and we are implementing use cases. We're not working directly with the customer, we've been working only in a training space trying to import data. One thing that we are doing is comparing Freshservice a lot with ServiceNow because since we are implementers of ServiceNow, we are comparing Freshservice to ServiceNow in every training exercise that we get. We haven't had any experience with real customers, we are only in the training phase.

Network Analyst at a real estate/law firm with 1-10 employees

It can scale well. To scale, you just get more licenses. It doesn't have any limitation on how many requests you can have because the license is based on the technician or the agent. You can expand it if you have expanded your team of agents. It is flexible.

We have around seven people right now. About half of them are for the IT support and half of them are for the operations support.

It's difficult to speak about Freshservice's scalability because it's a product built for small customers. It isn't for a large enterprise like a bank or an insurance company. There are no scalability problems. A few of my customers are small companies that handle a massive number of incident tickets with no problem.
