We performed a comparison between Zendesk and Zoho Desk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two CRM Customer Engagement Centers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs."
"What is cool about Zendesk Guide is how it works together with others Zendesk products. Especially with support and with the analytics. Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"We rarely had issues with Zendesk."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use. If you take the standalone product, it is so easy to use, but if you want a tailor-made Zendesk Guide, you can't do it yourself. However, you can use a template that already exists—they have a lot, and they're very cheap, around 300-400 euros—and use it on all your brands. It's a very easy product to use."
"It has good management, the ability to sign tickets based on content, the multi-channel support, the self service portal, the integration with Salesforce, the setup process, and the product features as we are currently using them."
"The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content."
"The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team."
"It is a highly scalable solution. You can easily add more users through the portal within seconds."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Desk is the parent and child task management feature."
"The most valuable features of Zoho Desk are the user interface, pricing, and how they customize the solution for us."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, you can customize it the way you want it, and it is very easy to use. You don't need anybody else to configure it."
"The solution doesn't have any bugs."
"The tool's UI is very user-friendly. The solution's workflow is flexible and we can create our workflows. We can assign and create groups with the tool. We are also able to control the privileges with the tool."
"The product provides communication features like chats and calls."
"The ticketing feature is very easy to use, compared to other systems."
"Zendesk Guide's customization could be improved. I would like it to be easier and maybe open-sourced, so that if you have a developer in your company, you can do it yourself. Right now, that isn't allowed, so you need to have it done via the integrator. Another improvement—this is nit-picking—is that it could be less easy to make changes. Some things are so easy that they sometimes look a little amateur-ish. Most of the templates are built-in so they can be used directly, so they are very simple."
"It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,"
"The data you get when logged in to Zendesk Support differs from the data you get when you programmatically query Zendesk Support through its API because of a sync time delay."
"As per me, there arent much significant issues or areas for improvement with Zendesk, as my usage of it is limited. I appreciate its ability to organize tickets effectively based on tags, allowing me to easily gather and analyze customer feedback and requests."
"One of the drawbacks of Zendesk is that it doesn't provide a secure way for us to send data. So, we usually use a secure SharePoint folder link. We put that in the Zendesk ticket so that the requester has a secure way of getting to their data."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"There is always a network issue with Zendesk. But we don’t know whether it is managed. The network issue is that when I call, it does not let us."
"I would like to have integrated support, and integration between the ticketing tool and the project management tool."
"Zoho Desk lacks lookup fields for the layouts."
"The customization of modules and some blueprint in the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution could improve its stability and scalability."
"Sometimes, the solution has some email issues in a new data center."
"Sometimes support is available according to their time slots and they can't fulfill everything I need them to. They give us a time slot but it's not always enough."
"Zoho Desk should provide more integrations and improve the Zoho project integration."
"It could be easier to link Zoho Desk and Outlook."
