Zendesk Reviews

I'd say that the integration options that Zendesk offers are the most valuable features to our team. We eJIRA as our internal development software, and Zendesk's integration provides us the ability to create new JIRA tickets based on the information that we receive from our clients. This feature allows are team to be as efficient as possible as it reduces any duplication of work, which is always a bonus in the start-up world.

Another important Zendesk integration that our team leverages is Slack. We use Slack as our internal mode of communication on the regular, and the integration with Zendesk allows us to receive customer notifications this way, as well. Zendesk updates come to us in real-time via Slack, and because it's how we normally communicate as a team, we receive them in the least-disruptive way possible.

My one negative critique would be the user interface. It's pretty busy and isn't the most user friendly; at times it is hard to navigate through or understand where you're at.

I believe BlackSquare has been using Zendesk for two and a half years now.

We have had no issues deploying it.

It's stable and I have not noticed any issues.

We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.

I have never had to use tech support.

I was not involved in the implementation.

It is easy to use, highly customizable and makes our work faster.

The possibility to quickly send templates emails based on content and user language.

I would like to see improvement in the "trigger" sections and "macros" as well. Both should have conditional fields to customize.

We've used it for three years.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

There have been no issues with the stability.

Mainly it's been good.

We used Netsuite which is too complex and too expensive.

The setup process is quite easy.

We did it in house.

It is perfect if you need an email system. Absolutely not if looking for a CRM solution.

• Merging similar incident tickets into one ticket as a problem ticket
• APIs to integrate with other CRM solutions like Remedy and RemedyForce

• Handling tickets within the SLA
• Smart search of archived tickets for auditing purposes
• Support metrics to analyse the work done by the support team during certain period of time.

The reports could be more fine tuned to enable better handling of tickets by individual agents and teams.

I've used the webportal and the Android App for two years.

No this is a simple online portal hosted on a cloud platform.

No issues encountered.

Zendesk tech support is done via a forum, but the knowledge base contains most of the technical knowledge.

No previous solution was used.

It's straightforward.

It was done in-house.

• Remedy
• RemedyForce

This is one of the better solutions on the market for SMBs. It's good if your main concentration is tickets. It lacks features for attaching enough information in the ticket.

Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly.

It saves the costs, time and energy. It improves the relationship with my customers.

It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation.

I have used this solution for three months.

There were no stability issues.

At the very beginning, we had some scalability issues.

I would give the technical support a 9/10 rating.

Previously, we were using another solution and I switched over for the price.

The setup was complex because of the different parameters involved.

I advertise mostly about the price.

We did not look at any other solutions, this product was the only one that I tried.

You need to be helped by an expert, side-by-side.

The most valuable for me is the home option because I can easily sort my open tickets, ticket statistic, and satisfaction statistic. Also the ticket matrix where I can check a report in order to hit KPIs is helpful.

We can check how fast we can help customers with their inquiries, how customer satisfied with our services using satisfaction score, we also could managed which matrix that we need to improved our performance, and last but not the least, we also can help customer inquiries from Facebook or live chat using this product.

I would like easy access for the mobile app as it can take quite a while to load the data.

I've been using this solution for one year seven months.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

The stability is good.

We've had no issues scaling it for our needs.

10/10 - they helped me solved my problem and to understand how it works.

This is my first time using this kind of thing. Even though I haven't tried other solutions, I think this product is very useful and easy to use.

The initial setup was straightforwarded. It's clear and didn't confuse me.

Feedback system through emails – the fact that you can reply to tickets by simply replying to email, also starting tickets by shooting an email to the right address.

It makes life much easier e.g. clients who never used Zendesk before needn’t learn it, they can just shoot an email to report an issue.

It needs to have a more intuitive application of macro’s in changing ticket statuses.

We've used it for two years.

There were no issues with the deployment.

There were no issues with the stability.

We have had no issues with scaling it for our needs.

It is rarely needed.

It's straightforward for me.

We did it in-house.

The pricing is much higher than that of other solutions.

It wasn’t my personal decision, but, I would go for Zendesk over QuickBase or MS Dynamics, which I had a chance to use for years as well, anytime.

If their price is acceptable, I would recommend using Zendesk to all companies whose clients and employees need a simple way of raising issues.

The ticketing software itself as well as the reporting features have been most valuable

Our CS team has been able to quickly and effectively run through customer inquiries using the Zendesk platform

I would like to see the ability to merge between companies/teams. We have separate teams using Zendesk, and while we can move tickets to one another we cannot take certain actions to them as they are technically 'the other team's'.

We've used it for one year.

I have not seen any issues.

I have not seen any issues.

Zendesk has great customer service and there are rarely technical issues.

I have not used a different ticketing service, but in comparison to CS communication software such as Olark, phone support, and emails - Zendesk has been the easiest solution.

I was not part of the set-up.

I believe the implementation was done through an in-house team.

The team at Zendesk is there to help, so don't be afraid to reach out. There are many 'hidden' tools that make CS agents life easier, find them, use them.

• Reporting
• Tracking

When I used it, it helped with tracking tickets and identifying trends in help desk calls.

I used it for two years.

No issues, it went well.

I did not experience any stability issues during the two years I used Zendesk.

None at all.

I never had to call customer service. That was done by the admin person.

I personally never had to call the Zendesk tech support, as again it was handled by admin.

At the time I was employed at that company there was no help desk ticket system in use prior to implementing Zendesk.

There was one person who worked with Zendesk to implement it.

• ZoHo
• Freshdesk
• SysAid

Zendesk is a great product but find a software package that will work best for your team and company.
