Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Atlassian, BMC and others in Help Desk Software."The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"Provides service level optimization."
"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's very convenient to use."
"It's a very stable tool, very powerful."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team."
"The stability has been very good."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Zendesk Support are collaboration, reports, and a self-service portal. The customer and team can see all the information needed from the portal."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"The dashboard could be better."
"It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,"
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"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."
"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."
"They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously."
