Zendesk Benefits

BharatR - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Marketing Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees

This solition helps me on improving customer service by addressing issues related to UI complexity, user experience, and feature requests based on feedback gathered from Zendesk tickets.

For example, if customers express difficulty in navigating the platform or request new features, I use this information to make improvements and collaborate with the product team to implement necessary changes.

Sr. HR Reporting Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

We receive requests all across the enterprise, not just from HR employees. So, we work through that with the customer within Zendesk, and we communicate back and forth with them through the tickets. We also communicate with each other. We have a triage person who assigns a ticket to an analyst to complete the ticket. We get requests for a list of names, term dates, or something else, and we assign it to someone on our team, and then that person will create that report and send it to the person.

We use Zendesk as a kind of workspace. We've put up education around HR reporting in terms of what's available and who can have access to what within the Zendesk workspace within T-Mobile.

Staff Technical Writer at Netradyne

One of the benefits we have seen from Zendesk is that it's very easy to use. Once you have figured out the basic modalities, it's very easy to use and very easy to segregate your content between different headings. The navigation is very robust, which enables us to really see the entire health center. At the same time, it can let you go in a granular manner to a piece. It lets me break down my articles into multiple, small chunks of information. Recently, they introduced something called article reuse—I can write the article in one location, and then put it in different locations in the same health center, but only have to maintain that one article in terms of actually updating it. The content reuse feature is a very smart thing to have.

Customer Success Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

It's just offers really good collaboration flow between the customer success team that I'm on and the support team they're on. We obviously have a lot of back and forth sometimes, especially with our larger customers and more complex situations that we need to kind of go back and forth on.

Zendesk allows you to manage Twitter messages, Olark chats and phone messages all in one place. It's a great hub for all of your customer service issues and not sure how tough it would be to manage all incoming inquiries in a timely manner without it.

We were able to get up and running with Zendesk in a very short time. While our IT department uses Zendesk for it's internal ticket handling, my team uses Zendesk to integrate with a web app on a project for a client. We're able to build a robust web app including help desk functionality that makes the product owner and client very happy. View full review »

FinancialForce FFA and Salesforce CPQ Consultant at Cloudteam

The first time I sued this product, I was working for a fast-growing startup and there was a lot of software. In terms of the service, there were 60% of questions based on issues. We could do a customized answer or handle customized activity to address this. However, 30% to 40% repeated certain questions over and over. We were able to prioritize our design based on these. Knowing what people were asking about gave us a direction. They helped us to prioritize features. 

We saw a decrease in the number of tickets. It was at least 25% less. There was an increase in customer satisfaction. And that was due to the fact that this solution helped us see what we needed to see and prioritize based on what most people wanted from the company.

When first implemented, this product help give accountability to internal service requests, recording who worked on which issue and when it was resolved. As we move forward, the metrics also help give insights into what areas create the most problems. These metrics allow us to be more proactive identifying and preventing potential issues.

The overall user interface was a vast improvement over our previous tool. It allowed our service reps to capture and log all activity related to an inquiry much faster than before.

The semi-integration between Zopim and Zendesk works without a problem as well, and was well received by the team as being easier to use than our previous tool.

Getting through the recruiting process has been a lot smoother. It's easier for our team to follow up with candidates and check what stage they're at (such as if they need an offer drafted, or if they need a background check initiated). It has also been very helpful with scheduling interviews, especially when we get 20+ requests at what time. Keeps everything very organized.

Director of IT at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

It’s simple enough for my helpdesk level one guys to use, so they actually use it. I can’t relay on end users to submit tickets, so I need to mandate ticket logging by my techs. I’ve worked in environments that used ticket systems that were just to cluttered and complex, so the techs simple didn’t use the system. Zendesk keeps it simple.

We had struggled with our existing support ticketing system for years due to expense, constant downtime, and excruciatingly poor performance. I discovered Zendesk by chance, managed to whip up a temporary support platform within a day, and got it officially implemented and signed off within a month. We managed to prove cost savings instantly and our users actually enjoyed using it.

It forced the organization to rethink sub-par work processes and enabled us to work smarter. When we suggested new changes to the business processes our helpdesk questioned why we couldn't do it like we always had, but revealing that the old ways of doing so was time consuming and illogical. Zendesk helped streamline our ticket workflow.

Before the JIRA integration, we weren't able to track incidents of bugs in an aggregated manner. Now it's much easier to track incidents and follow up for more information from customers experiencing issues.

The JIRA integration has helped tremendously with bug tracking and timely resolution.

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.

We are a customer support model based organization. When our customers experience an issue or need help, we direct them to enter support tickets and to expect follow up via that interface.
