Zendesk Customer Service and Support

Ahmed Nassar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Spectrum Group

The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem.

Because if you are doing your job by yourself, it will be a lot of aim to seek their support. But if you have, like, a support contract with them or something like that, there's the support when you go for a good position or if they can push it. You have to pay extra for better support.

We've never directly dealt with technical support. Another department was responsible for support items.

The customer service and support experience were okay. When contacted, they respond really fast. I’ll give it to them on that angle. Once the network is down, within five or ten minutes, they will fix it.

I have been in contact with Zendesk support. They have different levels with different levels of support. We are an Enterprise level, the highest that they have, so we have something called 24/7 online chat support. If we have a question, we are connected with a live agent, and they help us resolve our issue. The support is okay—I haven't had any issues.

We have our own experts that we use for support. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and it does not need a lot of support.

The tech support is very good, and was provided by the integrator himself. They know this solution a lot better than we do, and I have no complaints.

I've never been in touch with Zendesk technical support. I met with the vendor and they were very, very helpful. We were going to use one of them to expand on some of the features, however, we now have plans looking at something else.

Good. I really wish they had a chat feature - like Olark for example. But I guess it makes sense. Olark is chat program and Zendesk is a support ticket program. That said, chat would be useful. No reason they shouldn't have this deployed at this stage of the game. People want / need answers immediately. They don't want to send in a support ticket and wait for a response.

It's a solid 7/10 for specific contacts, and it would be higher including my account managers in two different regions and also tech contacts. I would rate them all 9/10.

Support is not great. Their support is that specific support you get from a big American tech company. For example, instead of help, if you ask something specific, they point to an article with generic information.

That's why, if you don't figure it out by yourself, honestly, you are screwed. They don't help.

I can understand why it's like this. At the end of the day, you pay several hundreds of dollars per month. Only one person in the US is maybe paying $100,000 per year. I can understand why they are trying to optimize things, however, to do this through documentation, I don't know if it's effective. The bottom line is, sometimes when you ask a human question, you would like for them to receive a human answer. To get a human, sometimes it takes three days, sometimes one week.

There seemed to be only one guy handling my ticket. They were based in the US, and if I was trying to chase information about a ticket, it would take a while. They relied far too much on documentation and sharing articles. However, this seems to be a very American approach to technical support.

Service and Support are excellent. Whilst the knowledge base leaves a lot to be desired and the push to use the community is as annoying as it is unreliable, if you do contact support they are responsive and thorough.

10/10 as they are prompt, courteous, and is available 24/7 via a wide array of channels. Zendesk's team was really great and when there were any issues or questions they were more than willing to assist. When there were issues with the stability and connectivity these were promptly resolved and we were updated on any of these.
