We performed a comparison between Sage CRM and Zendesk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The part I like the most is the reporting."
"Sage CRM is flexible, customizable, and user-friendly."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The most useful aspect of Sage CRM is the capability to keep track of each staff member's communication and bill processing activities. The ability to track both customers and employees is a useful tool."
"The Sage Accpac solution has definitely been the most valuable because the finance features are excellent."
"The solution's technical support is fast to respond."
"It has been helpful for opportunity management and lease management."
"Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"It's a very stable tool, very powerful."
"I would like Sage to improve their UI."
"From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly."
"The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale."
"Sage CRM would benefit from improving its interaction with email communication sites and social media platforms in order to gather more leads."
"With regards to monitoring the transaction with alerts, it could be better."
"Its user interface could be better."
"Sage CRM doesn't have a dashboard for dynamic reporting."
"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 price of the solution should be reduced."
"It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,"
"The dashboard could be better."
"If I write an article, and I have a team of 30 people, and they all have a Zendesk account, when I write an article, I send them an email. "Hey guys, I just wrote this article. It's one of the most popular topics this month on which we are not covered. Please check it and make sure that you include it in your resolutions". The issue is, once I send it to those 30 people, and they open it, the next morning, that article is the most popular article."
"They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously."
"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."
