What is Freshservice?

Freshservice by Freshworks is an AI-powered ServiceOps platform that unifies ITSM, ITOM, IT asset management, and enterprise service management on a single platform with a shared data layer. It gives IT, HR, finance, and facilities teams full visibility across services and infrastructure without the complexity of stitched-together tools. Freshservice comes with a natively embedded AI layer called Freddy AI, that helps agents resolve issues faster, automates employee service requests, and gives leaders the insights they need to make better decisions. The result is resilient, proactive service delivery that scales across the entire organization.

Freshservice Pricing

Freshservice is a software that utilizes a subscription-based pricing model with multiple tiers, where charges are applied per agent per month. Each tier offers a set of features, and pricing may vary based on the number of agents and selected plan. The software also provides options for annual billing and may offer free trials for evaluation prior to purchase.

    Easiest to set up for Enterprise Service Management

    5.0
    Jan 26, 2026
    Freshservice is extremely impressive for teams not wanting to worry about a ton of administrative problems with their ESM tool. Agents that aren't administrators find it really easy to start picking up tickets. As an admin I find it really easy to build a workflow to be able to achieve the type of automation for these tickets we need. I also like how I can customize almost every part of the design of the Freshservice Portal for end users. Being able to configure designs and features for end users or agents without being a developer is something that I think a lot of the major players miss on. Given that I think if you are looking to create the best experience for all involved, Freshservice is definitely second to none. Where they come up short on that, other tools that are doing really well is the conversational chat bots and leveraging their workflow tools to be able to do more custom automations that a lot of IT ops teams are looking for these days. It really is not the biggest need for our team though so we are happy nonetheless with their tool

Freshservice Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I liked most about Freshservice was the no-code setup and design of most of the services within the tool. It is very easy at being able to design the functionality that you would need your Enterprise Service Management tool to undertake and then implement it within a matter of days. This was very important to our organization because our experiences with other tools that did this were that they were either too simple to undertake the task or they required advanced knowledge or development to complete. Additionally, Freshservice is pretty simple from the administrative side too. For example, there were lots of options to set up users automatically and integrate with tools in their marketplace. We were able to automatically create and delete our employee accounts via Okta but there are more options that you can use. We also needed workflows that synced with our development tool, Jira. Instead of agents having to switch between the two tools, we have provided options so they can simply just use Freshservice to create and update these tickets from our side. We see a lot of value in things like this being added without having to pay extra to do so. Finally, I think the end user experience is second to none. The portal is easy to navigate and search. While it is certainly not the best looking, it is still pretty competitive with the best ESMs available in the world. The no-code portal designer does allow you to customize the look and feel as much as possible though, so you can build what you need. Also, using Business Teams to layout a custom agent experience for each team works really well from an administration standpoint.

Dislike

Complexity of the admin portal for editing different workspaces and workflows, the SaaS model as a single outage can impact us and numerous other customers, and a poor agentless scanning implementation.
