Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"Freshservice has automated a lot of our tasks, including ticket responses and call assignments, which has sped up our operations considerably."
"We use the ticketing system primarily, which is very easy to use for all users."
"The portal is straightforward for the end-user, but that's not the best part of Freshservice. Integration is the part that's interesting because it's easy to set up a process. It's extremely simple to integrate. In one week, you can add change management. It's incredible."
"It allowed the development team to concentrate on the client’s requirements instead."
"Freshservice is very user-friendly and easy to customize."
"The most valuable feature is the sandbox, which allows me to test new configurations, automations, and workflows before taking them live on the production system."
"It's very handy and very easy to use."
"We use the ticketing system primarily, which is very easy to use for all users."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"I experienced some delay in response time for non-function critical queries."
"Asset management can definitely be improved because it doesn't pick up every single device on the network or every single piece of information. Some manual information still needs to be entered."
"We'd like better integration with other products."
"On the reporting side, when we were doing reporting, one thing that was a bit of a limitation was when you had a data list containing a list of changes that have occurred for the whole time and you had to fit the list onto a page. If the list went over the page, it would just truncate it at the page. You wouldn't get all your data. So, it didn't work. That was one big stand-out for me. What we tended to do was convert things into a more readable format, and then we had more targeted exception reporting, but it would be nice to have a full list of things that could be automatically generated and that can flow over pages."
"We haven't had any issues with the stability of Freshservice. However, we have had some issues with data imports, we have noticed that large amounts of data can get stuck. This is something that we haven't seen in other solutions."
"There is room for improvement in reporting for project management."
"Some of the ways that tasks are reported on and shown can be better. You can't see tasks in your regular ticket list view. You can't see a combo view of tasks and tickets. It is a little bit difficult to get a solid overview of your list of things to do. You can only see them in separate views, instead of one single view."
"Freshservice has issues around how assets get picked up, requiring a lot of parameter changes within to network to ensure the system discovers everything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."
"Compared to other tools, Freshservice is affordable."
"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."
"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."
"The price of Freshservice could improve, it is expensive."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."
