Freshdesk is great value for money and there are other excellent additions such as asset management or SaaS optimisation tools that work well as part of the wider suite of tools. > > **Cons**: The good thing and limiting factor about Freshdesk is that it's ready to use as is. You do not need to customise it as much as other platforms but then you can't get additional functionality that you require from it either. > > Satisfying user experience and user interface with automations and Freddy AI that simply my team's daily tasks. I would highly recommend Freshdesk if you are looking at an ITSM platform that does not require much configuration. ----- ### "Brilliant and easy to setup and manage" — 5.0/5 > **Luke** | *20 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of customising it to our needs is a massive plus. With 2 different companies using it for different products, it is easy to setup portals and ways of communicating. The ability for me to see what my staff are doing day to day and the analytics are fantastic and all the plugins and other products from the company also really help to tailor it to our needs. I have only once had to contact their support team and the customer service was brilliant > > **Cons**: Would be better if you could tailor what other offerings you could add on to your subscription, the live chat function for example. > > Really positive overall with no real negatives. Good people their to help if you need it and a lot of offerings ----- ### "Helpdesk tool that balances ease of use/functionalities offered/value of money" — 5.0/5 > **Shailesh** | *16 March 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use interface that connects different workflows/areas in a seamless manner. It also means that various departments can collaborate seamlessly too. The user interface is also simple/easy to use - both for end users and agents. > > **Cons**: Not applicable. I have used the products (both Freshdesk/FreshService) for a long time (approx. 8 years) > > Overall experience is positive - makes my day-to-day life easy by tracking/organising all queries/incidents for me. There are not many applications out there that balance ease of use/ depth of functionalities that meet our requirements. ----- ### "Good tool, expecting it to kick on soon." — 4.0/5 > **Harry** | *29 December 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really good support desk, have been really impressed with all of the basic support functionality over the last 6 years. Took a while to adopt AI but seems to be catching up now. > > **Cons**: Took a long time to adopt AI; the initial AI was poor, and the responses were weak. Would like to see more use of the historical responses fed into AI responses. > > Overall happy, my team use this and it's simple to get started and understand, would like more advanced AI. ----- ### "Freshdesk - A breath of Fresh Air" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *24 March 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of setup, basic functionality and overall features straight out of the box, made setting up very easy. > > **Cons**: Limited functionality, there is a more advanced product that is ITIL compliant and the limitations have taken some time to work out how to do in the lower-level product. > > Good from the outset, initial support was good, but after that, it disappeared, but by then we were working on a basic ticketing system and fleshing out the details to give a more in-depth service catalog. ----- Page: 1 / 140\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/124981/freshdesk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/124981/freshdesk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
