> **Werner** | *17 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Ease of getting it set up and the impact it made on our day to day IT support process - the Knowledge base is also a winner and we love the custom portal.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the app integrations are complicated to set up and can be a little janky at times. There are also some finer automation things that take some time to learn.
> 
> Overall we are happy with the product and we are exploring the different modules and building it out further as it has so many aspects to it.

> **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.

> **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.

### "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.
