More Notion Pros →

"It's very convenient to use.""The initial setup is simple and straightforward.""It is a scalable solution.""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.""Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly.""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.""I found the user experience with vendors on Zendesk to be straightforward, especially when it comes to understanding and searching for specific tickets. The search and navigation tools are easy to use, and I haven't encountered any issues with delays or communication gaps in ticket resolutions.""It's a very stable tool, very powerful."

Cons
"Notion's UI needs improvement.""One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts.""Notion's UI could be better.""There could be an automation feature included in the product.""The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""The product could be integrated with external platforms.""Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content""It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."

More Notion Cons →

"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook.""The price of the solution should be reduced.""The dashboard could be better.""You couldn't give administrative access to new hires.""It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,""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.""Zendesk Guide could be improved by allowing us to put our assets in one location. What happens now for each article, for example, is we have to upload the images for that article to that location, so the image reuse is still not something that they have perfected. If they could allow us to update all the images in one location, and then pull the image from there, it would be easier when working on Multibrand projects. There are no Multibrand updates available—we have to update each brand manually. For my company, I have come up with an API tool which allows me to push the content to multiple brands together, but if you don't have something like that, you have to manually do it.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product is affordable compared to other platforms."
  • "The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
  • "The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."
  • "Notion offers a free plan that covers most functionalities. Clients are only prompted to upgrade if they require AI capabilities, priced at $10 for unlimited usage, or if they need to add team members, typically around $10 per member."
  • More Notion Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
  • "The price is very competitive."
  • "Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
  • "There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
  • "You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
