Opiniones de Freshservice

Una gran solucion organizativa y de gestion

Comentarios: En general buena experiencia, es un programa que recomendaria, y con un poco de paciencia al.principio puede ser un gran aliado.

Puntos a favor:

Es una herramienta con una capacidad funcional elevadisima y que permite variedad de tareas desde gestion de activos, tickets, y de flujos de trabajo.Nosotros lo usamos.para gestion de inventarios y nos facilita bastante el trabajo lo que permite que el rendimiento general aumente.

Contras:

Pareciera que la interfaz es intuitiva y sencilla...pero no, al principio es un poco liosa y para gente que no controla mucho le puede resultar un poco tediosa.Tienen tambien version gratuits y demos para probar, pero.son bastante pobres en cuanto a contenido de funciones.

Excelente herramienta

Comentarios: Prestación de servicios del área administrativa, abastecimiento, talento humano y por supuesto el manejo de la mesa de ayuda de tecnología

Puntos a favor:

Facilidad de uso, muy intuitiva, se puede administrar con conocimiento básico de ITIL, todos los módulos son muy fáciles de manejar y el soporte que brindan es muy rápido y atento

Contras:

Las licencias son muy costosas, sobre todo para usar el modulo de activos

La calidad es excelente

Comentarios: Nuestro producto anterior no contaba con un sistema personalizable y no proporcionaba a nuestros empleados una forma de seguir sus tickets una vez creados. También carecía de cualquier tipo de capacidad de elaboración de informes.

Puntos a favor:

Me ha gustado mucho tener Frehservice en nuestra organización. Ha facilitado mucho mi trabajo como gerente, ya que puedo revisar fácilmente el rendimiento del equipo, publicar anuncios para la organización e identificar las tendencias de los problemas o las solicitudes.

Contras:

Desearía que las capacidades de informe fueran más personalizables. Ha habido algunas situaciones en las que me he puesto en contacto con Frehservice para pedir ayuda sobre los informes que necesitaba, pero me he encontrado con que los informes no eran posibles. El equipo de soporte de freshservice me dijo que mis necesidades de informes se añadirían a la lista de posibles "mejoras futuras".

FreshServices

Comentarios: Excelente gestor de mesa de servicios, lamentablemente pagando una versión intermedia no tiene todas las funcionalidades que si ofrecen otras herramientas por menos costo.

Puntos a favor:

Excelente Interfaz.Facilidad de uso.Facilidad de configuración.

Contras:

Diferencias significativas en los nombre de los campos según la variante de español que tienes configurado en tu perfil. Personalización de Dashboards solo es posible en la versión más costosa.

Alternativas consideradas: GLPi y Zoho Desk

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: Por funcionalidades y Costo.

Facilidad en la gestion y en la atencion al cliente.

Comentarios: En general es una muy buena herramienta, pero para una empresa con un flujo de clientes medio, la opcion basica y la garden se queda muy corta.La version basica deberia tener alguna funcion mas.

Puntos a favor:

Es una herramienta muy practica, con posibilidad de gestionar problemas de forma multicanal, ya sea por mail, telefono,chat...Permite la visualizacion de un vistazo a todos los contratos que esten en activo, pudiendo comprobar la fecha de firma y el vencimiento.Te permite tener informes detallados para tener un idea muy visual.Tambien puedes crear flujos de trabajo personalizados para que el acto de la atencion al cliente sea lo mas rapida posible.

Contras:

Por contra, la version basicaa a pesar de estar sobre los 20 euros al mes, se queda cortisima en cuanto a funciones, como por ejemplo, la obtencion de informes personalizados, la gestion de contratos activos, o los correos ilimitados

Buen programa

Puntos a favor:

Sobre todo la facilidad de uso y lo útil que resulta. Es muy fácil de utilizar

Contras:

De momento no me ha dado ningún problema. Lo llevo utilizando casi 1 año y funciona bastante bien

Excelente programa

Puntos a favor:

Todo muy buen producto para poder trabajar en el fácil de aprender

Contras:

Todo bien si al inicio algo difícil pero ya después fácil usarlo y entender

Probably the best tool for Help Desk Management

Comentarios: This is probably the best I used for ticketing. The support is really good, the only bad thing is that you have to contact mostly via chat.

Puntos a favor:

The features it provides are really good. The ticketing flow is easy to follow, we can handle our Service Catalog, integrate with Active Directory, manage Asset Inventory and now we started using the Project management tool.

Contras:

The configuration (Initial Setup) is kind of complex. Design the flows is friendly, but complex if you have many rules, but the good thing is that support guides all the way during this process.

You can do a lot of great things with Freshservice

Comentarios: Complete platform for IT service management and reporting on client needs. It gives me the ability to develop material that can be provided as assistance to customers, as well as report back internally to the team and to top board management.

Puntos a favor:

I appreciate that it is not only affordable, but also demonstrates a lot of value due to the fact that it comes with a lot of features considering how much it costs. FreshService is capable of competing with ServiceNow in terms of IT service management, and I am accustomed to utilizing ServiceNow.

Contras:

The constraints placed on portal design, in addition to the requirement of having HTML coding skills. I have not been able to determine whether or not it is possible for us to have parent portal sites that include kid pages, and the process of developing these pages will require experience in coding.

Efficient and Reliable Support Ticket Management with Freshservice

Comentarios: My overall experience with Freshservice has been positive, with the platform is easy to use, comprehensive, and efficient. The platform offers a range of features which can be customized to meet an organization's specific needs.

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use is the thing i liked most about it. It is very intuitive and easy to use, even for non-technical users.And the ability to include a range of features, including incident management, problem management, change management, and more.

Contras:

Sometimes we haveeienced slow loading times with the Freshservice platform, which can be frustrating when trying to manage tickets quickly

Alternativas consideradas: Jira

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: All because of its ease of use.

No bang for the buck, an overpriced form submission tool that disappoints in reporting and integration

Puntos a favor:

Friendly user interface. Copy screenshots directly into the form (although there's a bug for the last 3 months that screenshots are displayed double in edit mode.) Plenty of fields to configure for more complex workflows.

Contras:

Default categories and labels with awkward naming (synonymous use of "Tickets" and "Incidents" for "Issues", "Change" for "Change Request", "Problem" for "Bugs") No possibility to convert issues to change requests. Agent needs to recreate the entire case in the back resulting in significant adminstrative overhead. Reporting is practically inexistent. REST API not covering many functions and object attributes. (You cannot substitute reporting externally.) HTML editor limited and bugged. (CSS code in support articles not supported, Bootstrap not supported, code gets changed or reformatted upon saving articles) No access to the file and image repository. Frankly, with every new cosmetic change and "functionality no can do" message from the Team, I am growing more and more wary of this application. At this point, I am thinking of it as an overpriced form tool with practically no reporting, a gimped Knowledge Management base, and an asset list functionality that quickly drains your wallet. I am spending significant time rewriting issues as change requests in order to subsequently manually attach them to the original issue ticket and explain to the user why I would want to close his ticket after all. Writing knowledge articles is best done in a separate HTML editor. The Text Editor lacks basic functionality, removes formatting and images in unpredictable ways with undoing, and stores images and files in a central repository you have no access to. You might as well do that with a forms tool readily available on the internet.

An excellent customer service tool, Freshservice

Comentarios: We primarily use this system as our IT support ticketing system. The process of getting set up was manageable, and their customer service has been fantastic. Even though we'd like to see more individualization in the HR/IT onboarding requests we've developed, we've already done a lot of the groundwork. We had previously invested in Asset Management but have now abandoned it. You get out of the knowledge base what you put into it in terms of content updates and documentation.

Puntos a favor:

Super simple for both IT managers and regular employees to learn and utilize. According on your membership plan, you have access to a wide variety of optional add-ons for your control panel. Extremely flexible, albeit occasionally annoying limitations surface.

Contras:

In comparison to the things it provides, Freshservice's price tag is a touch steep, and the company's support team has occasionally experienced technical difficulties that have slowed its response times.

Freshservice is the best ITSM, our users love it!

Comentarios: After using several ITSM tools, Freshservie deployment was very easy and it fits 100% with our needs at an affordable price.

Puntos a favor:

Ticket management is great by itself but if you uses it with workflow automation it's awesome. You can configure as many user portal as you want and it was a requirement. Inventory is also great module. Project management help us not only in the helpdesk team but also in other areas of the department.

Contras:

The knowledge base could be better. You can't create more than two category levels and sometimes is not enough.

Alternativas consideradas: Jira y ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus

Razones para elegir Freshservice: OTRS was very difficult to configure and sometimes you couldn't find the way to configure it to fit with your requirements. Spiceworks is for little companys.

Software anterior: Spiceworks y OTRS

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: It was the best option for us.

Good value and easy to implement and use

Comentarios: We have been happy with Freshservice and consider it a good value in comparison to some of the other Desks out there that provide similar service. We particular enjoy features like round robin ticket assignment, asset discovery and tracking, and providing a Knowledge Base for both Users (Requesters) and Agents.

Puntos a favor:

We rely on the ticket system primarily to manage steps to resolution and archive past interactions and solutions. FreshService provides this functionality with little back-end effort on our part. Though somewhat limited, we do appreciate the ability to customize our portal.

Contras:

Adding MSP's can be a confusing process. As it stands, you have to open a trial account then merge it into your main Desk. Last time we did this, FreshService failed to convert the account properly and we ended up being billed for the "trial" account. It took us several weeks to get the billing resolved. I recommend working with a live agent right off the bat to make this happen as smoothly as possible.

Alternativas consideradas: HappyFox Help Desk, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, Spiceworks, Vivantio y Zendesk Suite

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: Freshservice offered more features for less than comparable services. The Agent and Administrator online interface is also aesthetically appealing and easy to tailor to our needs.

Create the support system that fits your organization!

Puntos a favor:

Freshservice is a wonderful service management product! We use it for handling all our tickets and service requests. It differentiates between incidents and service requests so you can create a whole catalogue of hardware/software items that users can request. You can add approval requirements to these service requests and can create custom workflows to automate certain processes for incidents and requests.

Contras:

The Project Managment module is a little underwhelming. Feels a little underdeveloped and the visual interface and functionality fells somewhat lacking. We use the Kanban method of project management and Freshservice doesn't give us the ability to manage projects using that method. It uses lists and gantt charts. However, and a service desk management tool it is great!

Poor product, difficult to use

Comentarios: We moved from an obsolete proprietary system that felt very much Web 1.0, so initially my enthusiasm was high. It went down with every struggle with many details, to which I got response from the implementation team "not possible", "not how the product is designed", "it's not possible to implement". It does it's job as a ticketing system and a KB for the support teams, but it isn't a system that you would be happy, or at least pleased, to work with.

Puntos a favor:

It's relatively fresh in design, and the few things like automations (scripted actions, canned responses) are quite helpful. There is also a decent mobile app and integrations with Teams out of the box

Contras:

The product overall lacks flexibility in creating workflows, mapping teams and processes; instead, it requires your processes and teams wrap around concepts in the product. It is very chatty, but usually not in relevant way - email notifications carry low signal to noise ratio, as well as Teams notifications.

Review of a service desk user of Freshservice

Comentarios: I use Freshservice to report problems, ask questions (especially connectivity questions) and request access to systems and files and it has never let me down yet.

Puntos a favor:

Simplicity of use. I am a non techie and I found it easy to use within my organisation

Contras:

I don't think there is anything I would like to see added as it would detract from the simplicity of use

Implementation and Management

Comentarios: I had used FreshService in the past at different places of employment and had enjoyed it. This was the first time I was tasked with picking a ticketing system for a company. The fact that you get a trial based on the level you want to pay for, can basically have it customized during the trial to see if it's the right fit, extremely helpful and responsive customer service, and its easy to use for all levels of tech comfortability were the big reasons we chose FreshService. Every time I check in with our team of Agents, everyone is extremely happy with the switch and, overall, I am looking forward to the positive changes this is bringing our teams.

Puntos a favor:

There are several reasons I pushed to choose FreshService over other products. The value of the features I was getting with the ease of set up. Within the trial period, I had most of the set up done before I presented to my department head. The ease of switching from the previous (and archaic) system to FS for our end users was, overall, seamless. The ability to customize the product with minimal knowledge makes it easy to manage and make changes. After reviewing a dozen other ticketing systems, FreshService provided the ease of implementation and change that we were looking for.

Contras:

I love Freddy and want to use it however it's limited features over the traditional portal are frustrating. I understand it's a new feature and it's in a state of constant improvement but I wanted to launch with it and was unable to because key features that we needed specifically for our company would not show up. The reports aren't quite what I thought they would be either and I will probably have to do some work with powershell to get the information I really need.

Alternativas consideradas: HappyFox Help Desk, Jitbit Helpdesk, Zoho Desk, JIRA Service Management, ServiceNow, Kayako y Zendesk Suite

Razones para elegir Freshservice: The system we had was a basic portal for entering the request and then it would email it out to everyone. There was no way to properly manage, track, or pull reports on the work being done and tickets were falling through the cracks. It was making everyone's job harder than it needed to be.

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: This list is only a partial list of all the systems I looked at but I had issues with identifying what features each level had, lack of trials, unresponsive or slow customer service were some of the few issues I ran into.

A review about fresh service

Comentarios: A solid product with excellent qualities that can help transform how teams work

Puntos a favor:

Good tool for team collaboration. It is possible to configure workflows for each of them, projects, queues, etc. It is possible to greatly customize the fields and apply them to workflows, meeting specific needs.

Contras:

Graphing is a bit confusing, and you need to buy higher planes to use the best tools.

Alternativas consideradas: Zendesk Suite

Razones para elegir Freshservice: Several limitations on the platform that did not allow workflows to be created as desired.

Software anterior: Jira

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: We were very interested in other tools that perfectly met our need, however, its high cost made us choose Fresh.

Freshservice

Comentarios: Freshservice is by far the best help desk/ticketing system I've ever worked with. The speed and ease of use make Freshservice the best help desk platform I've ever worked with in my 15 years of IT experience.

Puntos a favor:

For our users its been a real nice tool for submitting help requests into our IT department. A variety of options and configurations allowed us to customize our Freshservice portal to provide our users with the best help desk experience possible.

Contras:

I wish I could add my own custom pages to the custom help desk portal. Love the ability to customize the current portal but it would be even better if I could add my own custom pages to the portal for instance ~ a secondary onboarding portal for a different HR team in our company.

FreshService provides many of ServiceNow level functions - but without the price tag

Comentarios: I have implemented in my current and previous organizations. It has solid overall build quality and supports ITIL standards and data capture in many areas. We also have the asset tracking component which has been helpful.

Puntos a favor:

Streamlined interface has been easy for our IT team to learn and use. I like the ability to track and link incidents, service requests, changes and problems. Does what we need.

Contras:

I would love to see more and better reporting - simplistic tools for creating reports limit advanced analysis in the tool.

Alternativas consideradas: Dynamics 365

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: FreshService has a significant focus on IT management, where D365 doesn't, so we didn't have to build out custom functionality with FreshService.

Feature packed ITSM which has room for improvement.

Comentarios: Moving from a shared mailbox it has been a lot easier to manage incoming incidents and track who is working on which ticket. Being an ITIL based ITSM we can now properly track system changes and gain approval across the business based on our business processes.

Puntos a favor:

Simple to use - one of the main reasons we went with FreshService was that during a trial of many other systems FreshService was by far the easiest to setup and configure. This means more time doing other projects rather than administering the helpdesk system. Powerful Automations - my trial version had the new Smart Workflow addon which made creating complex workflows very easy and simple. There is still room for improvement and some fields cannot be used in automations e.g. Impact or Urgency. Self service catlog - its a nice to have and allows easy segregation of Service Requests compared to Incidents, the custom forms are nice although would be better to dynamic i.e. drop down of all requesters for example. Branding - nice branding options and easy to use giving full access to CSS / HTML although not as easy to manipulate as ZenDesk. Self Service Portal - We haven't rolled this out to end users yet but the portal is easy to use and with the branding options can be customised. The embedded widget is also useful and can be embedded into SharePoint.

Contras:

Reporting - very limited compared to some systems although improvements are on the road map. Software Assets - confusing to use as you have to track each software item as an asset, cannot easily search on what is installed on computers across the database. Again improvements coming on the road map. Dashboard is useless - current implementation of the system gives a very basic overview of the system and an activity log. We don't use it as it doesn't provide any useful information. Certain Form Fields - you cannot change the default fields or even hide them without using JavaScript, this means I have had to create custom fields to tell my agents to ignore certain fields which isn't ideal. Also the categories list is shared among tickets, our change requests differ from our incidents. SLA breaches - compared to ZenDesk it isn't as easy to see when a ticket is due to breach SLA. Currently the ticket interface only shows Resolve Due date and not response due date, the response due just appears in the main ticket view when its close to expiry. Not ideal but workable.

Feature-rich and intuitive

Comentarios: We are back "with the times" compared to our previous ticket system.

Puntos a favor:

The FreshService interface is pleasant and pretty intuitive to work with. We had been using a different ticket system for more than a decade. Nonetheless, the switch to FreshService was relatively smooth for the whole team. I think the major reason is that the interface feels rather natural or comfortable to work with. The same kind of intuitiveness is also seen under the hood (Admin panel), which is where a lot of other systems fall short. Even though Fresh Service packs a ton of features under the hood, you are not battling against a maze of intertwined difficult-to-manage configurations. I personally don't need to do a lot of changes in the configuration (I'm rather the "backup" for those kind of things), but when I do, it doesn't take me too long to find out where I need to adapt what setting. I had to contact Fresh Service support a few times and so far always got a satisfactory reply in a decent reply time.

Contras:

With all of the above said, it also lacks some features you could see as "basic" or "take for granted" here and there. Agents can't configure an "out-of-office" period themselves. There's no possibility to set up a custom dashboard per agent. My major pet peeve is the text editor, which options are very limited (can't send a reply with a paragraph in fixed with font, can't edit the source ...) and which sometimes behaves unexpectedly (some odd behaviour with linebreaks, weird cursor position when pasting text ...) And finally, while there is integration with Jira, I have the feeling it tends to break quite easily. We've probably had it more half- or not-working-at-all than working as it should. This makes it unreliable, requires manual effort and follow-up and really undoes the usefulness of having integration at all.

Long time user

Comentarios: similar to most big orgs, initial contact and simple issues are resolved quickly. more complex issues take a longer for them to understand and get under control. also there seems to be a fast turnaround of account management staff, so continuity over time is difficult

Puntos a favor:

ease of use for admins to control tickets via simple to use interface

Contras:

new features take several revisions to get working correctly / fit for OUR purpose

Alternativas consideradas: ServiceNow Customer Service Management y Zendesk Suite

Razones para elegir Freshservice: better UX

Software anterior: SysAid

Easy to use ITSM system that lack proper integration with other platforms.

Comentarios: Overall Freshservice is an easy to use and deploy platform that will work in small and medium size organizations. It has lots of feature to make repetitive tasks automated.

Puntos a favor:

Incident and Service requests is the module I like the most, specially because IT support can

Contras:

Inventory and Software management. The agent installed in workstations sporadically stops working and IT support must install the manually for it to continue reporting on the asset. When deploying hundreds of assets, this becomes very tedious. Also, the Probe used to scan network and synchronize AD with Fresh lack a lot of functionality and it doesn't provide enough information about a multitude of non-workstation assets after scanning.

Alternativas consideradas: ServiceNow

Razones para cambiar a Freshservice: Price and ease of deployment.
