## Reviews

### "The best ITSM tool in all the areas that matter." — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *16 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use reduces operational cost, and increases ROI on CSI and automation initiatives. Integrations are simple to implement. Very responsive support team\!
> 
> **Cons**: Integrations are not always clear, often rely on third parties (not clear how they are involved with your data either). Out of the box integrations not as braod as some competitors. The available licensing is not as flexible as other tools. Access permissions (e.g., what parts of the system you can administer) are not granular (e.g., need to be admin to do simple things like add Vendor). Base-level CMDB functionality could be better - especially for software.
> 
> Overall it is the best ITSM tool I have ever used. It is the best combination of price, ease of use and extensibility.

### "Frank's Review" — 4.0/5

> **Frank** | *20 January 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Service Desk and Asset Management modules are great to use.  It gives better insight into assets.
> 
> **Cons**: The reporting and analytics are a bit difficult to configure and don't give enough options to do in-depth filtering.
> 
> Very happy with the product overall.  The connector apps are very useful - especially for asset matching to vendors warranty sites like with Dell.

### "Efficient Ticket Management with Room for Creative Collaboration Improvements" — 5.0/5

> **Anida** | *19 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Freshservice provides a clear and organized way to manage incoming requests. I especially like how tickets are structured, making it easy to track design tasks, communicate with requesters, and prioritize work efficiently. The interface is intuitive, which helps streamline my daily workflow as a graphic designer.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the system can feel a bit rigid when handling creative requests, especially when more flexibility or visual context is needed. It would be helpful if there were better options for previewing design assets or collaborating visually within tickets.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Freshservice has been positive. It helps maintain organization and ensures that no request is missed. As a graphic designer, it supports structured communication, although some improvements in creative collaboration features would make it even more effective.

### "Fresh Service has changed the way we service our restaurants" — 5.0/5

> **Kenny** | *12 March 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: How intuitive and easy it is to navigate and use for both our tech team and end users. We have also been able to stand up our HR service needs within the platform.
> 
> **Cons**: That there is a cost associated with Freddy AI. Initially it was part of the platform when we purchased.
> 
> It has been phenomenal. It has changed the way we do service management within our organization 100%. We can now better manage problems, requests, inventory, and change management which were tough initially.

### "Thought out layout but too expensive" — 3.0/5

> **Jaylen** | *20 February 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our business enjoyed the organization of the setup and how easy it was to find everything we needed. We used the Purchase Order system the most.
> 
> **Cons**: The one thing that turned us away was its priceThe main reason we decided not to continue using their service was the price. As a small business, the cost they were asking for was higher than we could fit into our budget, especially for purchase orders. Once the trial period ended, we stopped using their service.. As a small business, they were asking for a price higher than we could add to the budget to use it, mainly for purchase orders. As soon as the trial ended, we no longer used them.
> 
> It was significant other than the overall price. It made us completely take it off of the possible software uses for us.
