Pros

“It has simplified tracking hydraulic service requests, follow-ups, and client history significantly in comparison to having multiple email threads running throughout the day.”
DM

David M.

Technical Support Engineer

“The platform was practical for tracking customer requests and technical issues in one place and in office we can follow the process.”
EÇ

Eren Ç.

Architectural specialist

“I like the ticketing system in Zoho Desk, which allows me to easily track and prioritize client IT problems and keep them organized on one place through email and chat.”
RB

Rian B.

Technical Support Specialist

Pros

“The biggest value for us has been the flexibility of the ticketing system, the reporting capabilities, and the ability to centralize multiple operational functions into one platform.”
EG

Erin G.

Director of IT

“It provides a solid set of features that support IT service management and helps streamline operations. While there is still room to improve our understanding of all its capabilities, it has been an effective tool in supporting our day-to-day processes”
MN

Marcela N.

Service Analatycx

“We use Freshservice not only for incident and service request management but also for workflow automation and integrations with Active Directory and other internal systems.”
DB

Denis B.

IT Service Manager

Cons

“Users often report that setting up complex features like Blueprints (workflow automation) requires significant trial and error.”

Mustafa A.

Director

“When I first started using Zoho desk I was impressed but after further usage, I began to feel let down by the load times and the lack of features when it comes to reporting and usage on mobile devices”
DT

Daniel T.

IT Engineer

“There are also quite a few features missing from their reporting and analytics, as well as leaving much to be desired in how notifications are disbursed”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Greg R.

Customer Success Manager

Cons

“We’ve also experienced issues with integrations and workflows, including Slack form auto-fill problems, limited SLA dashboard widgets, and bugs within the onboarding journey process that have slowed adoption.”
EG

Erin G.

Director of IT

“The CMDB functionality had several issues, and the overall Freshservice UI can be difficult to navigate. While the ticketing features are simple and user-friendly, other modules do not feel as intuitive or streamlined.”
RA

Rajesh A.

Project manager

“The text editor can sometimes feel clunky or inconsistent when trying to align images, adjust fonts, or maintain clean styling across different articles.”
