Solid, Reliable Ticketing Tool for our Marketing Function

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Great ticket-management tool for our Marketing function. 40+ users.

Cons:

As an IT-ticketing-borne tool, it does not always cater to the needs of a Marketing team. For more sophisticated Marketing planning, collaboration and reporting, we have now started using Freshservice.

Freshservice can help you work more efficiently.

5.0 last year

Comments: If I have to make a new system choice today, I would choose Fresh again.

Pros:

In Fresh, the company can achieve a comprehensive ticket management solution. It's enjoyable to work in Fresh. It's educational, visually appealing, and helps us in our operations to deliver to our customers.

Cons:

Some of the requests we've made take time to be incorporated into the Fresh roadmap.

Alternatives Considered: Zendesk Suite

Switched From: SERVICE MANAGER

Reasons for Switching to Freshservice: Several of our employees had more experience with Fresh than Zendesk. That's why we chose Fresh.

Most Comprehensible Ticketing System

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: FreshDesk is the first and only ticketing system our company is utilizing and it has made handling user requests so much easier. The workflow feature helps to easily divide tasks between IT staff.

Pros:

Freshservice really streamlines both the end user and IT experience. Even the least advanced users find it easy to submit tickets, and the layout is simple and comprehensible. The leaderboard and achievements features allow IT staff to evenly distribute workload as well as give users an incentive.

Cons:

I have no dissatisfaction to report with Freshservice.
