Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful.""The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like.""The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing.""The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."

"We rarely had issues with Zendesk.""It's a very stable tool, very powerful.""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 stability has been very good.""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 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.""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.""It is a scalable solution."

Cons
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available.""The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise.""They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately.""The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan.""I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version.""The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."

"Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful.""The solution itself wasn't easy to set up.""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.""The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook.""They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously.""It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation.""It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
  • "ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
  • More ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus 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."
