I have had a positive experience using Zendesk Suite, there are a few areas where I think the software could be improved.One area where I think Zendesk Suite could be better is in its pricing structure. The software can be quite expensive, especially for small businesses or startups. While the suite of tools and features provided by Zendesk is certainly valuable, the cost may be prohibitive for some organizations.Another area where Zendesk Suite could be improved is in the customization of the user interface. While the interface is user-friendly, it would be helpful to have more options for customizing the look and feel of the software to match the branding of the organization.Finally, while Zendesk Suite does have a variety of automation tools, some of them can be complex to set up and use effectively. It would be helpful if the software provided more guidance or tutorials for setting up automation rules and triggers.Overall, these are relatively minor criticisms of Zendesk Suite. The software remains a powerful and valuable tool for managing customer support interactions, and the benefits it provides far outweigh any drawbacks. With its ease of use, automation capabilities, and reporting tools, Zendesk Suite is an essential tool for any organization that wants to provide excellent customer support.

Is very inexpensive and easy to access in my opinion

It crashes a lot and it's not dependable

- The software is highly intuitive and easy to use, allowing our team to quickly and efficiently handle customer inquiries and concerns. - The Ticket Management feature is particularly impactful, as it allows our team to prioritize and organize customer inquiries in a way that maximizes efficiency and effectiveness.- The Sales Pipeline Management feature is also very useful, as it helps our team stay on top of potential sales opportunities and effectively manage and close deals. - The Multi-Channel Communication feature is also a standout, as it enables our team to communicate with customers through a variety of channels, providing convenience and flexibility. - The integration with other applications and services is seamless, allowing our team to easily access and utilize the information and tools they need to provide the best possible customer support.

- One thing that could be improved is the customization options for certain features such as Customizable Forms, while they do provide some level of flexibility, it could be beneficial to have more options to tailor it to specific needs of the business. - The Reporting/Analytics feature a bit complex and difficult to navigate, and it might be beneficial to make it more user-friendly.

I appreciate that it provides a seamless communication channel with our customers, while also integrating with other communication channels. With Zendesk's flexible trigger options, I am able to automate many tasks and minimize repetitive work. I also find its support for working with different support tickets and personalized views to be very helpful. In addition, the reporting ticket feature is useful for filtering my own work as well as that of other agents. Overall, Zendesk has been a great tool for me and our team.

All good unless few small things like; If an agent forgets to log out of Zendesk, their status remains online, which can be misleading. Additionally, the customer review system is limited, as it only allows customers to rate their experience as either good or bad, without the option to provide additional feedback. This can lead to negative reviews for the company, even if the customer had a positive experience with the agent. Furthermore, if someone is using Explore to query data, others cannot access it until they are finished, which can be frustrating when working as a team.

You can customize the views to suit the kind of tickets that come into the account. You can get a detailed representation of each agent's output during the month. You can customize its appearance to best suit your brand and needs. You can set up a variety of pre-conceived responses called macros to aid the agents in responding to common queries and issues within the account. You can set up a call centre using this helpdesk.You can make internal notes to the team using this helpdesk, this is often important during drafting training. It is easy to train agents on how to use this software.

It is a bit pricey. The software has had the same look for a while now which, after a while, starts being monotonous.

Zendesk does service desk really well in terms of the basic functionalities like ticket management, triaging, tracking, and routing. Zendesk also offers add-ons for sales CRM, live chat support, and other apps that a SMB might need as it scales its operations and teams. Integrations with other platforms like CRM, Marketing Automation, customer data platforms, and messaging platforms such as Slack are relatively turnkey and require little involvement from developers.

Good basic functionalities but requires integrations if your company uses other platforms for CRM and marketing automation such as HubSpot or Salesforce. Zendesk makes turning on the integrations relatively straightforward, but you are still required to think through how best to map objects with other platforms and have a solid data strategy. The seat-based pricing is also something that I wish were more flexible as your company grows.

Best feature is the integration with other tools like Jira. Also real time notifications on emails make it handy to get great response time and the tracking of the ticket becomes very easy

More status can be added to the Ticket to make it more interactive with custom options. UI sometimes feel a bit laggy when integrated with Jira. That can be improved

I like how easy it is to review all customer queries and get an idea of what customers are talking about. Collaboration is also smooth with the live support team and other departments all thanks to the tool

As someone not using it daily, I feel like there are more things to learn as it seems to be a tool with many features.

Easy to use and serve customer seamlessly

Little complicated to use but customer care is supportive to solve this

Top features for me in this tool were the GoodData reporting flexibility, ticket automation, and clean user experience. We didn't leverage the knowledge base, although being able to click to directly create an article after a ticket submission seemed like a slick feature.

The ability to add lots of custom fields of varying types, create automation based on those fields, and rout tickets to end users was key. There's great flexibility in what you can achieve between the user permissions, user groups, and the form/landing page as part of the tool.

Some of the out of the box reporting seemed a little bit wonky in comparison with what I would pull in the GoodData insights area. Honestly, very few cons about Zendesk, although the price is a bit steep for a ticketing platform. This being said, though, it's very powerful and you get what you pay for with software.

The software functions nicely. It is very well put together. They make it easy to run a help desk.

The support, or lack thereof. If you need support for this software, they take a long, long time to get back to you. You better know what you're doing, because if you need to get a hold of them, I wish you the best of luck.

There is nothing Zendesk does that I don't like! The back-end user experience is the greatest I've ever encountered. The integration of Shopify and the capturing of knowledge is effortless. We've been using Zendesk Support for years and I'm sure we've only scratched the surface of what it can accomplish, but for a little business like ours, it's more than enough.

New feature requests should be implemented more quickly, in my opinion. I would also like Zendesk to manage all new implementation requests.

The implementation is incredibly easy, and there are multiple installation tutorials available online for users. However, tutorials for anything beyond basic set-up and basic customization of the chat button are hard to find, and you have to go up several levels of help to get solid answers if you're really looking to customize it for your operators.

The absence of common-sense features I had gotten used to from our previous platform. Options such as "Round Robin" routing are not available unless you go for the high-money level usage, and options like having the platform automatically switch the operator to "away" whenever their computer was locked or on screensaver were absent. Their auto-idle kicked in if their window was idle, even if the user was still using the computer, which makes it frustrating and pointless.

Zendesk has a lot of features, and customizable templates, it's not that easy to use as other CRM, so it may required traning, however this is because the highly customizable settings, and options the products offers.

It's really easy to answer 100 tickets at the same time, using templates that will show the client's name and information,

Overall a really good product, a bit expensive, but it offers a lot of features which makes the product a good product and good benefit.

It can be very complex/difficult at certain point due all the features that they offer.

Their cloud application is really good and provide satisfactory uptime, makes our work more seamless while live chat with clients to solve a specific issue.

Automation of ticketing mechanism is the best thing for me and my team, whenever ticket get generated it sends a mail to customer and when its get resolved or closed it again send automated mail to inform customer.

And also I liked the quick addition of new manager or technician to the system without making much big changes in dashboard.

Even I liked the features and automation, I have spent hours to learn the system as their dashboard is not so user friendly.

For an early startup cost of this application is too high as there are features that they might not need.

Zendesk is a platform for enhancing customer experience, constantly improving customer satisfaction to the next level and leading in Omni-channel solutions in the world.

As a client of multiple firms who is frequently compelled to interact with Zendesk, I can only say that my heart sinks when I realize I'm talking with a Zendesk representative rather than an actual staff member. They are really sluggish, they are dealing with numerous people at once and expect you to wait while Zendesk makes money, they don't answer your questions, they don't know their thing, and they are frequently unpleasant. I now buy elsewhere if I see a company using Zendesk and that's what I have to deal with in terms of customer support. If Zendesk is involved, it's simply too unpleasant and time-consuming.

What I like most, is that the core features of a helpdesk/customer service company, and all evident within the suite. Plus they all integrate seamlessly with one another. The GUIs are all easy to use and make the software familiar.

Occasionally, my team do lose info if they don't save what they're doing often enough. The page seems to time out after a certain time, and they need to readd their input.

Zendesk as a tool does what it is supposed to do, and it does it well. We used Support + Guide products, for ticketing for our e-learning business, and also for our Self-Serve support (knowledgebase). It is full-featured, and comprehensive. As far as support rep work goes, it's simple, to the point, and it integrates well with many tool because it is such a large company. It is designed for an enterprise company.

Because it is so full-featured, it can be years' work to get everything set like you need, and they provide little to no assistance. Some of the basic settings are so deep and so spread out, you'll spend hours reading through Help articles to understand how to customize your ticket form. It is NOT small-business friendly, it is really meant for large companies with someone dedicated to maintaining this software.

I struggle to find good things to say. It works and rarely has performance problems. If you need very basic support ticketing and are just starting out, you could use it and be successful. We did. But the functionality and support for those organizations between startup and large corporation is nil. If we were a very large organization, I could see it being a valuable product.

1. It is incredibly difficult to keep track of business users. When you are a SaaS supporting clients who have end-users, organizing tickets and documenting issues is very important to find patterns. This is not possible in Zendesk, at least at the Team feature level. There is not a central location for information for an organization outside of a Notes box that is basically a tiny sidebar textbox that allows no formatting to make notes over time readable.

2. There is no way to reference individual comments in a ticket because individual comments do not have their own IDs. This makes it very cumbersome to keep succinct notes and refers back to my first point. The only way we can review a client's history is through wading through a bunch of tickets with an endless stream of comments. I can't get a good timeline overview of their experience and issues, which is so essential to good issue triage.

3. Lack of features for those at the less pricey levels is pretty bad. There's no way to make our contact forms more customizable (like having a message to the person on the ticket - there is only limited description area and those are question/field based) and we don't have access to conditional logic on the forms. So we are left with clients just throwing issues at us without getting good information from them to get a one-touch resolution. The way Zendesk works it forces us to give lower-quality support.

4. There's no exporting your ticket information or running any sort of report if you are using the Team or lower feature level. These, to me, should be basic features as they pertain to the most basic of needs for any support team. Not only that, it ties you to the product and punishes you for leaving. We can't move to another product because we can't take our ticket history with us.

5. The features and performance is inconsistent. For example, there are "Triggers" and "Automations". Triggers and automations are the same. The only difference is the automations are time-based. But they don't tell you that in the interface - there's nothing telling you what is required to set up the automation in order for it to pass validation, only an error message. And by following the instructions of the error message, you can still get more errors. But there's nothing there to tell you the overall requirements so you can avoid errors in the first place. And in the Triggers interface, they leave out a large amount of placeholder options for seemingly no reason, so you have to go find the placeholder references for yourself.

In my opinion, Zendesk doesn't have the user in mind. They put out new features and integrations, but the core product is so severely lacking that it seems like they feel they are operating on auto-pilot and their product needs no update itself. It's a shame, because it was probably was a good product with a lot of potential back when it first started up.

Gives you a central hub to handle support tickets (in my case, internal). Rather than handling issues faced by colleagues through e-mail or a chat program, thus, cluttering either up, you can sort it all away into a separate place. It usefully has both e-mail notification and Slack integration abilities, which means being aware right away when an issue is sent in. It also has the ability to link tickets from JIRA, so if an issue requires additional intervention from other teams, you now have that connection. Also useful is if you have some desire for anonymity (obscure/black box who specifically is handling issues), this will work far better than e-mail or Slack in providing that. There are also additional features such as stats and metrics, along with the ability to add tags to tickets, required fields, and macros to automate certain workflows. Again, if you are working extensively with handling issues of all manners, you will find Zendesk quite useful for you.

While the software does a good job of providing a central hub for managing support tickets, it has a couple of improvement points. The ability to not reopen a ticket if someone is simply thanking you would be nice, and one that has been requested a while that has never been implemented. Navigating the help center where you can write articles is a bit confusing to navigate and requires specific flows to get to view vs edit mode. Furthermore, the formatting tools you are offered for creating articles are quite limited, clunky, and awkward. If you want to write anything other than very bland and simple text, you'd be better off linking to an external site with better options, such as Google Docs.

Zendesk, is a reliable application, your ticket collection and autocomplete form is always available. In addition, it helps us resolve inquiries about calls, through your help in responding to the distinctive clientele of different media channels, and having them move through help guides before they can engage in a conversation with managers. I like Zendesk because its tools are necessary for effective management towards the guest, they facilitate the alternation of emails and take internal notes, in addition to recording telephone calls and voice memos are only for employee use. All your tools are vital to manage the accounts of our customers. It is highly recommended, a satisfied customer is one more achievement.

The main drawback of this skillful application, is that its long-lasting features and simple to implement, are requested by customers through the community, are not added to the product, the user interface is not one of the most attractive that exist , although it presents all the functionalities implemented at the same time, so enough time is spent to fully familiarize yourself with this software and make the most of its performance. Several changes can further improve workflows or provide better interaction between the company and the clientele. Your online training is not the most complete because you do not have fasting forums or personal training. There is no free trial available to test the software before you are told to opt for a paid plan with all available features.

The suite includes tools for ticket management, live chat, phone support, and self-service options like knowledge base and community forums. Users appreciate the ease of use and customizability of the platform, allowing them to tailor it to their specific needs. Additionally, the suite integrates with many third-party applications, making it a flexible and scalable solution for businesses of all sizes.

while the platform is highly customizable, some users have reported that it can be challenging to configure the more advanced settings without technical assistance. However, these issues seem to be relatively minor compared to the overall benefits of using Zendesk Suite for customer support.

Zendesk is a customer service software with very relevant features that make me like it, one of them is that it has an extremely friendly interface, since it can be customized which allows it to be easy to use, allows the agent to have information about who the client is, in this way the help process becomes simpler and faster, the client can choose because they want to be served because this software provides different channels as an option being all in real time, besides it offers a highly efficient ticket management efficient since agents can create different notes on the same ticket and even several of them can serve the same client making the process much more efficient and the best thing is that through it you can track users as well as the tickets which is a great advantage since an order is maintained.

Despite being extremely efficient in terms of providing the most optimal tools to make the customer service process simpler and faster and adjusted to the needs of each client, this software still has some things that should improve as is the case of providing plans that can adjust more to each company since their plans has a fairly high price, also the creation of reports is very efficient but it is not easy to use so it can take more time than expected to complete the same

I've used many ticket services in my 10+ years of experience with customer support and Zendesk is easily one of my top two choices. Incredibly easy to figure out and use!

To me the appeal of this product was its simplicity, compared to other products like Salesforce. However, if your team has complex needs then this might not be the tool for you as there is a limit to what you can do with it.
