Migrate Your CMDB Data

Frequently Asked Questions

Can NDesk really replace Freshservice for ITSM?

Yes. NDesk includes the core ITSM capabilities most teams need: service catalog, CMDB, incident management, service request management, and AI automation. If you're using Freshservice primarily for these features, NDesk is a comprehensive replacement at a fraction of the cost.

What about Freshservice features NDesk doesn't have?

Freshservice has some enterprise-specific features like advanced asset discovery and project management. If you rely heavily on these, evaluate whether NDesk's core ITSM capabilities cover your primary needs. For 90%+ of IT teams, they do.

How do I migrate CMDB relationships?

Export your Freshservice CMDB data and import it into NDesk. You can then recreate relationship mappings in NDesk's CMDB interface. For complex configurations, our migration support team can assist.

Can I migrate incrementally instead of all at once?

Absolutely. We recommend an incremental approach: start by setting up NDesk, import your data, run both systems in parallel, and gradually transition teams. This minimizes risk and gives your team time to adapt.

What's the total cost difference between Freshservice and NDesk?

For a 15-agent team on Freshservice Pro ($49/agent): $8,820/year. For the same team on NDesk Pro: $239.88/year. Annual savings: $8,580. On Freshservice Enterprise ($119/agent), savings exceed $21,000/year.
