Freshservice offers a wide range of functionalities designed to streamline IT operations. This also makes it a good solution for B2B support.
It has a user-friendly interface and allows customization without a large use of external consultants.
Premium support is very good, with a dedicated team of support, arcitects, product specialists and more available on short notice included in the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No major downsides, but products B2B functionalty/focus (Portal as an example) need some improvements to get at the same level as the ITSM side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FreshService has a friendly UI which allows an easy track of tickers and tasks. In addition, the several services included allows to automate several processes. Also, every times I need support, I get fast answers and in case they cannot give me the service by email, a call takes place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I did a migration process using the Workspace Organizer, some of the items from one workspace to another where not included to automatically migrate, making me involve lots of time into manual implementation. Also, I was negatively surprised about some FreshService management supposedly to test the differces between IT and Business agents and telling me that only a few differences, and I find out several differences.

- Onboarding and offboarding web forms
- Intuitive interface and automated workflows have reduced our resolution times significantly.
- A significant leader amoungst there competition
- Look a feel is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- When requesting for feature, one doesnt hear anything from support after requested. Its as if the request disappears
- When asking for support, you are requested to find an available Calendy slot with an engineer, its usually a day later. Makes it difficult if you need support ASAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing of the product seems a little expensive and there are limitations for the mobile application which does not have full features as the web version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We moved from an on-prem ITSM tool that we had used for approximately 15 years. Moving folks from an on-prem tool to a SaaS-based tool that was in the cloud was challenging. There were several hurdles to overcome. We are a very security-minded company, so getting my internal security department to sign-off on the tool was a bit challenging. However, FreshService had all of the tools available to us to ensure a very secure deployment of the software.
Additionally, FreshService offered a plethora of features that simply were not available within our on-prem software that we previously used. The ability to run workflows was a game-changer for us. I love being able to create work flows where I can say "if this happens, then do this".
The API made bringing our data from the on-prem solution to the FreshService a quick and easy process. We brought in all of our old tickets, attachments and data. The API made it a quick process - but you do need to have some programming knowledge to do this. I'm a C#/.NET guy, but it was easy enough with Powershell and FreshServicePS by Flycast.
The support team was available to help me implement the solution and address many of my initial concerns.
My team has fallen in love with how easy the software is to use and I have a lot of engagement on the ticketing system. We have a team of approximately 50 people and I held a few training sessions and since then, my entire team has been engaged and using the system.
The FreshService team puts out updates each and every month. This a good mix of new features and enhancements to existing modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some frustration points that we run into - but I'm certain that would be true regardless of the software you use. There are nuances where it isn't perfect for our company. The L1 support could use some additional training so when you have a more difficult problem, they could help out more - it seems like continual education of their support staff (which I'm sure is huge) might be an issue.

I like Freshservice’s intuitive interface because it makes navigating and managing IT tasks straightforward. Its user-friendly design streamlines ticketing, automates repetitive tasks, and provides clear visibility into service performance, making it easier to handle IT issues efficiently.

One of the main drawbacks of Freshservice is its limited customization options compared to some other IT service management tools. While it offers a range of features, there are constraints on how extensively users can tailor certain elements to meet very specific organizational needs. For instance, while you can create custom fields and modify workflows, there might be limitations in adapting certain aspects of the interface or functionality as flexibly as you might with other platforms.

Interface is simple and easy for users to work with.
Has lots of features such as tickets, tasks, change management...
Can be customized, a little. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The features don't flow together - ie you can't get a list or a page that shows all your tickets and tasks in a single view, as they're all separate modules.
Compared to other tools, many features and links are hidden down behind hamburger menus, instead of being buttons on the screen - lots of extra clicks.
Bad UX/UI for agent screens - other tools fit the content on the screen, but FreshService requires lots of scrolling and clicking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
