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

Pros

“I liked Gist's seamless integration of communication, collaboration, and automation features in one platform, providing a comprehensive solution for our team's needs.”
AK

Aaron K.

CTO

“The thing we as a company like least, is the fact that the membership is based on the number of contacts.”

“Gist offers a seamless conversational marketing suite, which makes communication and building relationships with your users a whole lot easier.”

Digital Consultant

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

“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.”
BM

Bheru M.

Software Engineer

“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

Cons

“The custom chatbots work only with the website chats, not with the other channels such as Facebook, Whatsapp etc, which means you would need to use another software if you want to automate those (which makes no sense).”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Deyan K.

Digital Consultant

“Also, some of the tools are not super intuitive to setup and integrate with your existing solutions.”
DI

Dakotah I.

Co-Founder

“Little confusing on the use of multiple domains”
