Zendesk helps us to manage customer support inquiries easily

We SiteLogicMarketing have used Zendesk as our Help Desk Software for the past five years. One of the biggest PROS of Zendesk is its ease of use. It makes it easy for our customer support team to respond to customer inquiries. Yet, one potential CON is that Zendesk can be quite pricey. Especially as our business has grown and we need more advanced features. Nonetheless, we have found that the value provided by Zendesk outweighs the cost.

If you're looking for great help desk software then Zendesk is the one for you.

We at TimeShatter use Zendesk for my help desk software. I really like that it allows us to have conversations with customers on multiple channels (chat, voice, email, and social media apps), which I feel is more convenient for customers. I've been really pleased with the software so far

Easy to use and cost effective help desk software

My company uses Zendesk. What I like about it is how it can be integrated with other platforms and is overall easy to use. Communication is streamlined and simple. What I don’t particularly like about it is their support. I have had several instances where I needed to contact someone from Zendesk, but it took forever to get my issue resolved. Other than that, however, I do really like the software.

One of the most efficient help desk software in the market.

My organization has been using Zendesk, the best help desk software. It works seamlessly on any channel, such as voice, chat, email, or even in social messaging apps, like Instagram, Facebook, or Whatsapp. All the communications and proper context are preserved in a dynamic and single dashboard. As far as the pros are concerned, Zendesk lets you boost your communications everywhere; it has an impeccable ticketing system and automated routing. Some of its cons include it doesn’t provide a secure way to send data. Hence, you need to use a secured SharePoint folder link

Zendesk is easy to set up, hugely customizable, has excellent uptime, and the customer support is top-notch.

At Nolah Mattress, we useZendesk. It allows our team to easily follow conversations with customers and see what’s been responded to, and by who.Our team can also add internal thoughts and notes to tickets without the customer being any the wiser - it streamlines our communication. One of the cons is that it’s on the higher end of the help desk software pricing range - it’s priced per agent - but its features make it worth the cost.The triggers are sometimes a touch sticky, but definitely workable.

Zendesk is sophisticated enough to meet complex needs but simple enough to get started quickly

I'm Daniela Sawyer, Founder of FindPeopleFast.net, a web-based people searching website. We use Zendesk Support Suite. With this, our business can have natural conversations with customers while keeping them unaware of what's going on behind the scenes. All interactions and relevant context for our agents are kept in one place with the Support Suite. One workspace for all agents, allowing our teams to serve customers faster and more personally.

When a user cannot add new users to Zendesk, a warning message should appear. It should state why you can't, so you don't have to guess.

Our responses sometimes don't have attached files.

Zendesk is more expensive than other CRM solutions.

It isn't easy to set up at first.

The suspended filter can't tell what's spam and what's not.
