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

Ticketing itself is nice and we do appreciate how flexible the workflows are for different ticket queues and teams, but it can be complex to implement and troubleshooting these during implementation is a bit confusing. Asset management is a potential use case for Freshservice as well, but we've found it to be extremely lacking in both information gathered and ease of implementation (with the scanning server application still requiring internet explorer on its backend).
