Zendesk Scalability

Ahmed Nassar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Spectrum Group

Scalability is normal. Not very high. At that time, there were around 1100 end users using this solution.

The scalability was good. We had a lot of tickets and never had an issue.

We had 20 to 25 people using the solution. We had departments like customer support and operations on it.

My experience with Salesforce Essentials has been positive in terms of scalability and I’ve witnessed organizations scale rapidly.

It is a scalable solution. But for me, there is maybe some Slack thing, really for me. Slack becomes more than the same time. But all those decks, once you open Zendesk to attend to the customer’s request on the phone and all, and hence I would rate the scalability of Zendesk Support a nine out of ten.

Around 400 users who are using Zendesk Support in our organization. With Zendesk Support, you can also create the same Macro on Zendesk. The time you use to type in the calculator will take you more time. So it is better just to create a Macro instead of you wasting like five minutes typing.

Once you have already created the Macro, you can just send whatever response you want to decline if you are sure you know what the feedback really is. So I can resolve a customer request immediately.

This solution is pretty easy to scale. You can put a lot of data in there—it doesn't seem to affect it at all. However, in terms of Multibrand, you have to make the updates manually. There is no feature to push to update to all the health centers. 

We are a six-people team, and we all work with Zendesk Guide. As far as usage, we have over 1,000 customers who are accessing Zendesk Guide, and we have more than 12 health centers that we have deployed.

The scalability capability seems pretty straightforward. I can't speak to how the support team is using it, to be honest. I can't speak to if they actually have attempted to scale it in any meaningful way just yet.

Our support and customer success teams are the main users of the product. We have about 15 people in total on the solution at any given time.

We didn't really talk about scalability previously. That wasn't even something that was considered as there were so many things that ServiceNow does that Zendesk doesn't from an IT infrastructure perspective. We're looking at those features for the future in terms of our roadmap, security, asset management, and so forth.

Currently, we have about 24 people on the solution. They are admins or developers, for the most part.

At this point, we don't intend to increase usage.

In terms of scalability, that wasn't even something that we were considering, just that there were so many things that ServiceNow does that Zendesk doesn't from an IT infrastructure perspective. And we were looking at those features for future-state from the roadmap, security, asset management, and so forth.

We only have about 24 people interfacing with Zendesk. They are admin or developers. Then there's a few BA who are mostly either engineer support for the help desk IT or they  belong to one of those internal groups that we support, Salesforce developers, SharePoint developers, or Tableau developers and architects. These are the people who need to resolve the tickets when there's an issue.

If you wanted to scale from ten agents to 1,000 agents, then it's tricky to do it by yourself.

That's the moment when you should go for an implementation partner or something. I tried to do it by myself. I tried scaling from three or five people to 30 people. And the biggest problem is when you have a structure, and you change the structure. I found that when I was doing extracts, I had a lot of data on the previous structure and I didn't have data on the current structure and I had to do a lot of manipulation in Excel. Basically, you are losing a lot of data in analytics at the moment you decide to change the structure of your team.

In my previous company, 30 to 40 people used this product.

We never suffered any stability or any difficulty increasing our operation. Some parts of the month we have more flows of transactions and more cost. We can run with no problem, we do not have any delay operating. 

Currently, we are upgrading and going to be having more users inside our company. We are hiring more people and we are very satisfied.

We have 16 users currently and by the end of the months, we will have 23.

It is easily scalable for departments, however, if different departments need to use it, then each may need their own customizations. If there are many departments with specific customizations, scaling the central management of Zendesk becomes more difficult.
