Tech lead sr System Admin Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient, User-Friendly ITSM Tool with Strong Automation Capabilities" March 17, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience has been very positive. Handling the entire platform alone as a Tech Lead has been manageable due to its ease of use and automation capabilities. It has helped improve operational efficiency, reduce turnaround time, and bring better structure to ticket and service request management. While there are areas for improvement, especially around advanced features and stability, it remains a reliable and powerful ITSM solution. Pros Freshservice offers great value for money considering the wide range of features it provides, especially for ITSM operations. As a Senior System Admin managing the tool independently, I’ve found it very easy to use and highly customizable. The interface is intuitive, which makes onboarding new users simple. Workflow automation, SLA management, and service catalog setup have significantly improved efficiency and reduced manual effort. Task and workflow management are strong, allowing me to streamline processes across different teams effectively. It also supports decent collaboration by keeping all ticket communication and updates centralized. Cons There are occasional bugs and glitches, especially when dealing with complex automations or API integrations. Reporting and advanced customization could be improved further, as some use cases require workarounds. Customer support is helpful but can sometimes take time to resolve more technical or edge-case issues, which can be challenging when you’re the only one managing the system.

Leader of inventory Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple IT service tool that works well for teams" May 16, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Freshservice has been positive. It is a reliable tool for handling support requests and basic IT service management. It helps teams stay organized and respond faster to issues. However, it may not be the best option for very advanced or highly customized setups. Pros What I like most about Freshservice is that it is easy to use and well organized. It helps manage IT tickets and requests in a clear way, so nothing gets lost. The interface is simple and easy to understand, even for new users. Cons What I like least is that some advanced features are only available in higher-priced plans. It can also feel a bit limited for very complex workflows or large companies. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) I switched from basic email support and a simple help desk tool like Zendesk, and also from tracking requests in spreadsheets.

Cons The change management and other capabilities needs improvement, they are very basic unlike the advanced ITSM features on the tool. Review Source Jason F. Service Desk Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for a first bike, but you'll grow out of it." May 29, 2026 3.0 It's an excellent tool if you're looking for low maintenance/hassle with an ITIL-aligned ITSM tool. But the moment you want to become a power user and start customizing and evolving the tool to meet your specific needs, you either need to be prepared for disappointment or evaluate something more powerful. Pros The turnkey nature of Freshservice is highly desirable for teams and organizations that can't justify spending either a lot of time or payroll on a full/part-time developer. The low to no code environment allows for you to immediate spin up modules and begin processing incidents, requests, etc. The built-in analytics tools allow you to create customized dashboards and reporting for strategic planning on operational metrics. Cons As with any turnkey SaaS product its greatest strengths are also the product's greatest weakness. Want to take Fresh's framework and tweak it a bit to meet your needs? Nope. Do you want to customize components of a module entirely operating within the expected limitations of an ITIL product? Negative. Have a feature request? You can submit to the backlog but it might be years before a version of it becomes a reality. Review Source SK Swaroop K. Senior Systems Administrator Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy-to-Use ITSM Solution with Powerful Automation" July 13, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive. It provides a user-friendly interface that makes ticket management straightforward for both agents and end users. The automation and workflow capabilities have helped reduce manual tasks and improve response times, while the asset management features keep IT resources well organized. Customer support has been helpful whenever needed, and the platform offers good value for money with the features included. Overall, Freshservice has helped improve the efficiency of our IT service management processes. Pros Freshservice is easy to use, and the interface is clean and intuitive. The ticket management system helps keep support requests organized, while the automation and workflow features reduce manual effort and improve response times. The asset management module makes it easy to track IT assets in one place, and the reporting features help improve overall efficiency. Their customer support has been responsive whenever we've needed assistance, and overall the platform offers good value for money considering the features it provides. Cons Overall, it's a solid platform. Some advanced customization options can take a little time to understand, and a few reports require additional configuration to get the exact information needed. Other than that, it has worked well for our team's day-to-day IT service management. Switched from [ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/179501/ManageEngine-Service-Desk-Plus/) We switched from ManageEngine because we wanted a more modern and user-friendly IT service management platform. Freshservice offered a cleaner interface, better workflow automation, and an easier ticket management experience. It also simplified asset management and reporting, making it easier for our team to improve overall efficiency. Review Source FS Farheen S.

Senior application software engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Freshservice review" September 24, 2026 4.0 Pros Freshservice made an immediate difference in how efficiently we work. The self-service portal was the real gamechanger everyone could log in, see ticket status, and stay updated without chasing anyone down. It cut out a lot of back-and-forth and gave the whole team much better visibility of what was happening. Cons When it comes to custom reports, though, Freshservice falls a bit short. The customization options just aren't robust enough for our needs, so we've had to work around it by exporting reports to Excel and doing the deeper analysis manually on our own systems. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Business Analyst Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User friendly and effective ITSM tool" August 30, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with Freshservice has been positive. It helps organize IT service requests, improves ticket tracking, and reduces manual work through automation. The platform is reliable and user-friendly for day-to-day IT service management. Pros Freshservice is easy to use and has a clean interface. I like the ticket management, automation, and workflow features, which make it easier to track requests and manage IT support efficiently Cons Some advanced features and customizations can take time to configure. Reporting could also be more flexible for specific business requirements. Review Source SV Sanju V. AI Engineer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful and Easy-to-Use IT Service Management Platform" September 11, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Freshservice has been positive. It is an effective and user-friendly platform for ticketing and knowledge management. The workflows are advanced, flexible, and easy to set up. However, finding product information and resources can sometimes be challenging, and there are occasional glitches depending on the region. Overall, it is a useful tool for improving IT service management and workflow efficiency. Pros Freshservice was very effective it ticketing, knowledge management tool. The workflows are advanced and very easy to get started. Cons The product information, videos and knowledge base is very hard to find and there are some glitches in the tool for specific regions.

Production Support Specialist Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fresh Service review " August 21, 2026 4.0 Pros The interface is good , documentation is helpful, and implementation is much easier compared to many traditional ITSM solutions. Cons Change management, and advanced automation needs improvement for organizations with more complex IT processes. Review Source DF Dominique F. Systems Administrator Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Freshservice significantly improved our internal IT service delivery" March 19, 2026 5.0 Overall, our experience has been very positive. We have been using Freshservice for approximately three years with about 20 agents supporting roughly 300 staff across multiple locations. The platform has helped us move from a reactive email-based support model to a much more structured and efficient service management approach. It has improved accountability, response tracking, and overall service delivery within our IT department. We would definitely recommend Freshservice to organizations looking for a well-balanced ITSM solution that is easy to use, reasonably priced, and capable of maturing with your service management processes. Pros Freshservice has greatly improved how our ITMS department delivers support to our organization. Before implementation we relied heavily on email which made tracking requests, approvals, and accountability difficult. With Freshservice we now have a centralized platform for incident management, service requests, and asset management which has significantly improved our efficiency and visibility. The service catalog has been especially valuable since we can now standardize requests, apply approval workflows, and automate processes that were previously handled manually. The interface is very clean and user friendly for both agents and staff, which helped with adoption across the organization. Asset management is also a strong feature as it allows us to properly track our IT equipment lifecycle. We also found the pricing very competitive compared to alternatives like Jira while still providing the core functionality we needed. It is also encouraging to see continuous improvements and new features being added over time. Cons While the platform works very well for our needs, some advanced features available in more complex platforms like Jira are not as deep. However, for our use case this has not been a major issue and Freshservice continues to improve its capabilities. Ticket field customization and validations could also be slightly more flexible, but the available features still meet most operational needs. Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[ServiceNow](https://www.capterra.com/p/254088/ServiceNow/) Reason for choosing Freshservice We selected Freshservice due to its competitive pricing, ease of use, and clean graphical interface compared to more complex alternatives. Review Source KP Kiran P. Sr. Software Engineer Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Steady, Dependable, Just Works" July 20, 2026 5.0 Been steady for us, plain and simple. No surprises, no random hiccups, tickets move where they need to go and stay tracked the whole way through. Notifications keep us in the loop, reporting gives a decent snapshot when we need one. Only real ask would be more room to customize things - outside of that, it's been a dependable part of how we run support now. Pros Gotta say, the ticket side of things just clicks. You open it up, tickets are where they're supposed to be, priorities make sense, and you're not spending half your morning untangling some mess from the day before. Switched from a system that felt like it was fighting me at every step, so this was a genuine relief. Cons If there's a downside, it's flexibility. Wanted to set a few things up our own way - certain fields, a couple workflows - and kept running into "this is just how it works" moments. Nothing that breaks the deal, but it'd be nice to bend the tool instead of the tool bending us. Review Source EG Ekta G. SEO Executive Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A powerful, game-changing helpdesk that streamlined our entire workflow" July 24, 2026 5.0 Switching over to Freshservice has been a massive upgrade for our daily IT operations. It brings everything - from asset management to customer support, into one clean, easy-to-use workspace. Our team actually enjoys using it, and the return on investment in terms of sheer efficiency has been well worth it. Pros The ticket management and automation features are absolute lifesavers. Setting up routing rules and automated workflows took very little time compared to our old system, which drastically cut down our first-response times. Cons Honestly, the initial setup and customization options can feel a bit overwhelming. There are so many modules and configurations that it took our team a couple of weeks to fully wrap our heads around everything. Review Source BM Bheru M. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Finally, an ITSM tool that doesn't slow engineers down" July 30, 2026 5.0 Before this, our internal request process was scattered across email and Slack, which meant things got lost or forgotten more than I'd like to admit. Since switching, I actually trust that a ticket I file will get tracked and followed up on, and I'm not stuck chasing status updates manually. It fits into a dev's day-to-day better than I expected, quick to file requests, quick to get notified when something needs my attention, and the knowledge base has cut down on the same repeat questions landing in my queue. Not perfect, but it's made the operational side of my job noticeably less annoying. Pros As an engineer, I'm not a fan of anything that slows down my actual work, and this doesn't. Ticket tracking is clean enough that I can log a request, access, environment reset, whatever, and get back to coding without babysitting it. The real-time alerts are the real win though. When something breaks in prod, I know within seconds, not after someone pings me on Slack asking why I haven't looked at it yet. Macros have also cut down a ton of repetitive typing for the requests that come in looking identical every week. Cons The generative AI features are still a bit rough for anything technical. I've tried using it to draft responses to more detailed engineering questions, and it tends to oversimplify or miss context, so I end up rewriting most of it anyway, fine for routine stuff, not something I'd trust blind. Task splitting across teams could also be a little more flexible; when a ticket touches both backend and frontend, assigning ownership clearly sometimes takes an extra step or two. Review Source IP Ishvar P. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I stopped chasing customers over calls." August 3, 2026 5.0 Using something since 2022 kind of tells you if it's actually good or not, and this one has held up. What I like most is that it ended all the confusion we used to have with customers about what was approved and what wasn't. Earlier someone could just say they approved it on a call, but there was never any proof of that. Now everything's on the ticket, dated and written down clearly. My work days are a lot less stressful now, I always know where a request stands instead of running after people for answers. Pros I've been using this tool since 2022, so I've had enough time with it to really trust what I'm saying. Before we had this in place, things were a mess honestly. Bug reports, new requirements, error issues, all coming through calls and emails, and half the time customers wouldn't give any proper approval. I'd try calling back and their number would be busy, or I'd send an email and just hear nothing back for days. Once we started using this, that whole headache went away. Now it's simple, raise a ticket first, we check it, and everything gets mentioned clearly right there. Been working this way for a few years now and it's made things a lot smoother. Cons Getting some of our older customers to actually raise a ticket instead of just calling took some convincing in the beginning, that took a bit of time. The generative AI suggestions are still not great for technical stuff either, I usually end up rewriting the reply myself unless it's something really routine Review Source KS Kavish S. Jr. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Tools for Ticketing System " August 6, 2026 4.0 Overall, Fresh service has been a reliable, efficient ITSM solution for our team. It consolidated our ticketing, asset management, and user requests into one readable dashboard. The customer support team is responsive whenever we run into configuration bumps, and the platform has definitely boosted our response times and overall workflow efficiency. Pros The UI is really clean and intuitive, which made getting our staff onboarded way easier than with our previous ticketing tool. Setting up automated routing rules for incoming tickets saved our IT team hours of manual sorting every week. The self-service portal and asset tracking features are also super straightforward to configure without needing heavy developer work. Cons Customizing built-in reports can feel a bit clunky and limited when you want deep, multi-layered data analysis. Also, tier pricing jumps pretty quickly if you need advanced features, so small teams on a tight budget might find higher plans a bit steep. Review Source PB Pathik B. Sr. Front End Developer Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and User-Friendly" July 29, 2026 5.0 We've been using Freshservice to manage our internal IT support, and it has worked well for our day-to-day operations. The ticketing system is straightforward, the interface is clean, and it gives us a better way to handle requests compared to using emails or spreadsheets. We've also had a good experience with their support team whenever we had questions. Overall, it's a dependable solution that has made our support process more efficient. Pros The best part for us has been how easy it is to keep track of support requests. Everything is in one place, so it's simple to assign tickets, follow updates, and close issues without confusion. It has helped our team stay organized even during busy days. Cons The initial setup took a little time because there are many options to configure. A few settings weren't immediately obvious, but after getting familiar with the platform, it became much easier to manage. Review Source HP Hardik P. Sr. Software Engineer Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, dependable helpdesk ticketing with solid automation" July 7, 2026 4.0 On the whole, it's been a dependable tool for handling helpdesk requests. Tickets move through the system smoothly, automation takes a lot of the repetitive work off the team's plate, and new agents pick it up fast. It's not without rough edges - reporting flexibility and mobile features could definitely be better - but for day-to-day ticket management it gets the job done well and hasn't given us major headaches. Pros The biggest plus for us has been how simple it is to manage day-to-day support tickets without a messy learning curve. The interface is clean, so agents can jump in and start working tickets without needing weeks of training. Automation has been a real time-saver too - auto-assigning tickets, sending reminders, escalating anything that's overdue, all without someone having to babysit it manually. The knowledge base feature has also cut down on repetitive tickets since users can often find answers themselves before raising a request. Whenever we've needed help, support has been quick to respond and actually useful, not just scripted replies. Cons Reporting is probably the weakest part. The built-in dashboards cover the basics fine, but if you want something more custom, it gets a bit fiddly and you often end up pulling the data out to work with it elsewhere. The mobile app is another area that needs work - some ticket actions that are easy on desktop just aren't there on mobile yet, which slows things down when you're away from your laptop. Pricing structure can also be a little confusing at first since it's not always obvious what's bundled into each plan. Review Source AM Ajay M. Technical Architect Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid ITSM tool, automation makes a real difference" July 2, 2026 5.0 Been using Freshservice for our IT team and honestly it's made day to day support so much easier. Ticket management is solid, everything stays organized and resolution times have gone down since we started using it. The automation is probably my favorite part, ticket routing and escalations just happen on their own now instead of someone manually assigning stuff. Asset tracking is also handy, having hardware and software info right next to the tickets saves a lot of back and forth during audits. Not everything's perfect though. Reporting could be more flexible, we usually export stuff to Excel to build the reports we actually need. Mobile app is a bit clunky too when you're trying to update something quickly on the go. Pricing goes up once you add the automation and asset features, so worth keeping in mind if you're a smaller team. Still, it's the tool we rely on daily and I'd recommend it if you want your support process to feel less chaotic. Pros We've been using Freshservice for almost 2 years now across our IT support team, and honestly it's become one of those tools we don't even think twice about anymore, it just works. The ticket management system is probably my favorite part; everything is organized in a way that actually makes sense, and our resolution times have noticeably improved since we moved to it. What I really appreciate is how easy it was to get the team onboarded, we didn't need a ton of training, most people picked it up within a few days. The workflow automation has honestly saved us so much manual work. We've set up automated ticket routing and escalation rules that used to take someone sitting there manually assigning tickets, and now it just happens. Asset management is another strong point for us, being able to track hardware/software assets alongside tickets in one place instead of juggling separate spreadsheets has made audits way less painful. Customer support from Freshservice's side has also been solid whenever we've run into issues, responsive and they actually solve the problem instead of just sending generic articles. Cons If I'm being honest, the reporting/analytics dashboard could use more customization, we sometimes have to export data and build our own reports in Excel to get the exact view we need for management. Also, the mobile app feels a bit clunky compared to the desktop version, especially when trying to update tickets on the go. Pricing tiers can also get expensive once you start needing the more advanced automation and asset management features, so smaller teams might feel that jump. Overall though, none of these are dealbreakers, after 2 years, it's still our go-to tool and I'd recommend it to any team looking to get their IT service management organized.

Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable Platform That Keeps Our Support Team Organized" July 14, 2026 5.0 Overall, I've had a good experience with Freshservice. It has helped our team stay organized while managing developer tickets, incidents, and customer requests. I particularly like having everything in one place because it's much easier to keep track of updates and priorities. Whenever we needed help, the support team responded promptly. It's been a reliable solution for our team, and I'd definitely recommend it to businesses looking for an easy-to-use IT service management platform. Pros I've been using Freshservice for handling developer tickets and customer requests, and it's made our daily work much easier. The ticket tracking is simple, assigning tasks is straightforward, and the automation helps us save a lot of time. I also like how clean and easy the interface is, so even new team members can get used to it quickly. Cons The initial setup took a little time, especially while configuring workflows based on our internal process. Once everything was in place, though, it worked really well. Review Source ST Sean T. Director of Cloud Infrastructure and Operations Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid product with a great account team" May 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, I am a happy first time user of the tool and find it exceptionally user friendly and easy to use. I have recommended colleagues in the field who may be fed up with some of your competitors that they should give Freshservice a look. Pros Prompt and friendly customer service. Get a wide range of functionality and services in a single license without having to constantly be triggered to buy add-ons. My service team is engaged and constantly bringing forward ideas and solutions to help improve my organization and the use of the product. In addition the user interface is straight-forward and easy to pickup for administration of the environment. Prior to my current role I had not used or been aware of Freshservice and it was easy to pickup and begin being productive in from day 1. Cons The only negative that I've experienced has been with being able to develop my own dashboards to call out the information that is important for my role. I've struggled a bit in getting the reporting just right for what I'm looking for. I generally like to do things on my own, and there was some frustrations in being able to get what I needed. However, on the flip side of that I was able to reach out to my account team and they helped build out what I was looking for quickly. Review Source RM Rakesh M.

It has significantly improved our service desk efficiency, asset management, and response times. The automation features reduce manual effort, while the clean interface makes adoption easy for the team. Pros Freshservice offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface that makes ticket management simple and efficient. It helps streamline IT support operations with automation, customizable workflows, and SLA management. Cons Some advanced customizations and integrations can be complex to configure initially. Pricing may be higher for smaller organizations when additional features are required. Reporting customization could be improved further, and occasional minor delays may occur with large data loads. Review Source PP Priyanka P. Software Developer Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Solid First Year, No Complaints Worth Mentioning" July 22, 2026 5.0 It's been a smooth first year overall. Nothing's fallen through the cracks, requests move at a decent pace, and I've never had to wonder where something stands - it's all right there. The customization limits are a minor sore spot, but they haven't gotten in the way of things running well day to day. A year of steady use has been enough to convince me it's a keeper. Pros One year in, and what's impressed me most is how little time I spend figuring things out versus actually getting work done. Tickets land where they should, updates come through without me having to go looking for them, and the whole flow feels intentional rather than something bolted together. Compared to the manual mess we had before, it's been a genuinely welcome change Cons Customization is where it falls a bit short for me. There are specific ways I'd like certain requests structured, and more often than not I end up adjusting to whatever the default setup allows rather than the platform adjusting to what I actually need. It's workable, just not as tailored as I'd hoped. Review Source tE trajkovi E. Principal Analyst Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient, Intuitive, and Scalable ITSM Solution" March 25, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive. It streamlines IT service management by combining ticketing, automation, and reporting in a single platform. Agents and end-users benefit from quick ticket resolution and clear workflows, while management can track performance and identify recurring issues. Freshservice’s flexibility, coupled with its intuitive design, allows teams to scale efficiently without sacrificing user experience. While setup of complex features requires some learning, the platform ultimately saves time, reduces errors, and improves overall IT service quality. Pros Freshservice stands out for its intuitive and modern interface, making it easy for both IT staff and end-users to navigate. Automation features, such as workflow triggers and SLA management, significantly reduce manual tasks and improve efficiency. Integration with other tools in the Microsoft ecosystem allows seamless collaboration across platforms. Reporting and analytics are powerful, giving visibility into trends, ticket volumes, and agent performance. Overall, it feels flexible, scalable, and tailored to meet complex service desk requirements without overwhelming users. Cons While Freshservice is feature-rich, some advanced functionalities can be difficult to configure initially, requiring time to learn the nuances. Certain reporting options, although detailed, are not fully customizable without extra effort, which can be frustrating for teams needing very specific data views. Notifications can sometimes be excessive, leading to alert fatigue. Additionally, integrating some legacy systems or less common tools can be challenging, requiring custom APIs or third-party connectors. Minor UI inconsistencies exist but do not hinder daily operations significantly. Review Source AM Akil M. Asst. Manager Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Tool for Daily IT Management" March 26, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Freshservice has been very positive. It has helped us bring better control and consistency into our IT operations. The platform makes it easier to manage workloads, track issues, and ensure accountability across the team. From an Assistant Manager perspective, it has improved visibility into daily activities and team performance, which is very important. While there are a few areas for improvement, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks. It’s a dependable tool that supports both efficiency and team collaboration in a practical way. Pros What I liked most about Freshservice is how organized and reliable it feels in day-to-day operations. Managing tickets is very straightforward and the system helps keep everything in one place without confusion. The automation features have saved us a lot of time by handling repetitive tasks, which allows the team to focus on more important issues. The interface is clean and easy to understand, even for new users, which reduces training effort. I also found the reporting quite useful for tracking performance and identifying areas where we can improve. Overall, it brings structure and clarity to IT service management. Cons One area where Freshservice could improve is in advanced customization. While basic setup is simple, making deeper changes sometimes requires extra effort or support. There are also occasional minor bugs or delays, especially when handling larger workflows, though they are not frequent. Additionally, pricing can feel a bit on the higher side as you scale and need more advanced features.
