"Freshworks strives to make its Freshservice easy to adopt. It offers a free trial and a flexible commercial model to encourage customers to pursue ESM at their own pace,” states the authors of The Forrester Wave report. “Freshworks is a good fit for small and midsize organizations looking to build or mature an ITSM or ESM practice, given its rapid time-to-value.”
Freshservice ESM capabilities help enhance the predictability of service delivery across business departments. “Reference customers found quick acceleration from trialing the tool to leveraging it for all its features, with little outside assistance,” states the Forrester report.
African Bank uses Freshservice to automate and manage applications and processes throughout their organization. Frans Germishuizen, senior release manager at African Bank said, “Freshservice changed our perspective that the product was exclusive for IT, and we are now implementing automation across the business. We will soon be implementing Freshservice with our HR systems to make it easier to onboard and offboard employees. Today, we are onboarding more and more business units, and the nice thing is, the business is chasing us, we're not having to go out to motivate people to put their processes on Freshservice.”
“Freshworks has invested significantly into making the tool easy to leverage. Its biggest strengths include its ecosystem, allowing customers to rapidly fill capability gaps in their organization. With more than 2,000 listings, the Freshservice marketplace is among the largest.”
