Freshservice ranks first because it treats asset management as part of the service desk rather than a separate database. Freshworks says the product discovers hardware, software, cloud and SaaS assets across on-prem, hybrid and cloud environments and keeps the inventory current without manual tracking. Those records live in a CMDB with dependency mapping, so an agent working an incident can see the device, its software and its owner in the same screen. The ITAM page also lists lifecycle and procurement tracking and reclaiming unused licenses. Pricing is open: Starter is $19 per agent per month billed annually, Growth $49 and Pro $99, and Pro adds problem, change and release management. The catch is that asset management is metered separately in asset units, sold in packs of 500 and counted by the number and type of assets in the CMDB, so ask for that figure before comparing totals with per-asset tools.
