About Freshworks
What is Freshworks (Freshservice)?
Freshworks (specifically its Freshservice product) is an AI-powered IT service management (ITSM) platform designed to help IT teams deliver faster, smarter support and maximize operational efficiency. It solves the problem of fragmented, slow IT workflows by unifying service desk, asset management, operations management, and employee service in a single platform.
Who is it for?
Freshservice is built for IT teams in mid-size to large enterprises that need scalable, configurable ITSM beyond basic ticketing. It’s ideal for organizations looking to adopt ITIL best practices and improve employee experience. It is less suited for very small teams seeking only a simple help desk without advanced asset or operations management.
Real Use Cases
Support teams use Freshservice to auto-route incidents, manage changes with impact analysis, and track SLAs to stay compliant. IT managers leverage the asset management module to track hardware/software lifecycles, while employee experience teams use the service catalog and self-service portal to reduce ticket volume and boost satisfaction.
Key features
- Incident Management — Auto-route incidents and resolve faster with AI assistance and real-time reports.
- Change Management — Assess impact with service context and roll out changes with confidence.
- Asset Management & ITAM — Track and manage IT assets from procurement to retirement.
