Frequently Asked Questions

Is Freshworks enterprise-ready? Can it scale easily to thousands of users?

Freshservice serves many large enterprise customers who have chosen us over legacy players such as Atlassian, ServiceNow, BMC, and Ivanti. Freshservice is cloud-native and built with enterprise SaaS needs in mind, unlike Atlassian, which was built as an on-premise solution and was slower to adopt a cloud strategy (with their server support only recently being sunset). Large-scale enterprise customers leveraging Freshservice include Amex GBT, Viesmann, Mahindra, and Elseiver, among many others.

Some of our teams already use other Jira software. Does Freshservice integrate with that?

Freshservice integrates seamlessly with Jira and other DevOps tools such as Gitlab, Jenkins, Github, and Azure DevOps. Built on our robust graphical workflow automator, Freshservice offers integration with over 40 third-party applications via our orchestration center. Our extensive marketplace supports application integration at no additional cost.

We make it easy for your IT team to continue to work with developers without compromising on the tools they use everyday.

Does Freshworks have an enterprise-ready virtual agent? What can it do?

Freddy AI by Freshworks is a ChatGPT-enhanced virtual agent who can lend a hand with all kinds of day-to-day tasks, making your human agents more efficient and effective. Easy to set up, Freddy AI can assist agents from day one. With 24/7 availability, ticket triaging, and self-service guidance on any channel, Freddy AI helps both employees and customers have a better experience.

Can Freshservice align business, dev, and IT objectives on the same platform?

Freshservice can seamlessly integrate with any development tool, including Jenkins, Gitlab, Azure DevOps, and Jira.

Purpose-built for service management users, Freshworks launched Freshservice for business users with the unique workflows and data segregation customers need. Jira Service Management only offers templates for non-IT functions.

Freshworks offerings (ITSM, ITOM, and ESM) not only showcase maturity and capability but also deliver business outcomes through unified product offerings (CX, CRM, and ITSM) built on the Freshworks Neo platform. JSM relies on plugin and marketplace integration and lacks customer service capabilities.
