What is Freshservice?

Freshservice by Freshworks is the AI-powered, unified service operations platform that is fast to deploy, intuitive to use, and enables every employee to be more productive.

Freshworks AI powers ~45 AI service workflows that deliver personalized assistance for employees, safe automation for service teams and prescriptive insights for IT leaders. This AI is built on a decade of experience, workflow and service domain context across tens of thousands of customers which makes it more accurate, reliable and effective. We offer powerful governance and scale without the operational drag of legacy platforms.

    Automation and Workflow Features Enhance Support But Customisation Can Be Complex

    5.0
    Feb 27, 2026
    Our overall experience with Freshworks IT Service Management has been positive, particularly in improving the structure and visibility of our internal service processes. We implemented the platform to centralise IT support requests, improve response times, and introduce better tracking and accountability across our team. The system significantly improved our ticket management workflow. Automated routing and SLA tracking helped us reduce response times and ensured that no requests were overlooked. The reporting and dashboard functionality also gave management better visibility into recurring issues and team performance, which supported more informed decision-making.

Freshservice Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I appreciate most about Freshworks IT Service Management is its ease of use combined with powerful automation capabilities. The platform is intuitive for both administrators and end users, which significantly reduced the learning curve during rollout and improved user adoption across the organisation. The automation and workflow management features stand out. Automated ticket routing, SLA tracking, and escalation rules helped streamline our support processes and reduced manual intervention. This improved response times and ensured accountability within the team.

Dislike

When speaking to an Accounts rep for the platform, they constantly pushed innovative products within the Freshservice product, like their Workflow Automation and offered ways to help with payment avenues (Expense Optimization). However when trying to use these products, they became extremely railroaded by the basic functionality of the product. For example, when trying to edit the User home page when they are trying to lodge a ticket, you cannot edit the default options. Instead having to add your own functions to the site and use workarounds to hide the default options. It became frustrating trying to configure this day by day and eventually was left for another option. The automation options were fine to use however didn't offer JSQL or similar which is found in other products. This made certain ticket automations I tried to follow almost impossible. The price per user per year was substantial compared to other competitors who offered a larger and more complete platform for a tenth of the price.
