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.

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.
