"Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly."
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features is that Zendesk gives you a lot of configurability, and a lot of leeway in terms of customizing the look and theme. Zendesk offers you the facility to design your own landing page, as well as the look and feel of the entire knowledge base. At the same time, they offer themes that you can simply purchase and implement. Either way, it can really be turned into the right look and feel of the knowledge base required by our company, which is very important—if you have a bland-looking page, most of the time, people will lose interest. Zendesk also allows you to test the customizations before you publish it. It gives you a sandbox location where you can test everything new that you're trying to create and publish, which is very interesting."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"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."
"The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"You couldn't give administrative access to new hires."
"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."
"Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
"The solution itself wasn't easy to set up."
"The dashboard could be better."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"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."
