Automated password workflows have cut help desk calls and improve user self-service success
The best features Aisera's AI Copilot offers include automated responses for users and a binary option where expected responses versus anything else can be handled. It has a standard response for anything that is not fitting into the specific question asked by the chatbot. The ability to give standard responses and handle expected versus unexpected answers has helped our team and end users by reducing confusion about what Aisera's AI Copilot can do and cannot do, streamlining the process so people know they can use it for a password reset primarily. Regarding Aisera's AI Copilot's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are evolving and it is in line with our requirements for ISO 22001. The accuracy and reliability of output from Aisera's AI Copilot is very good. Unfortunately, it is the old adage about garbage in, garbage out. As long as you take your time, work through your workflow to have accurate information and then negate anything that is not an expected response, you will be successful.

Macros and automation have streamlined workflows and reduced manual effort across support teams
The ability to communicate on the Zendesk ticket through the actual user software, so TOPs, would have been helpful. Somehow seeing a user's ticket history within our app would have been beneficial. That is the only thing that I do not think existed at the time that might have been helpful. Some people struggled with Zendesk, but it was always easy enough to show them how to use it and what they were missing. The only times we really had people report concerns about it was when they did not understand that it could do that or how to use it in that way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, Aisera's AI Copilot has become much more than a helpdesk tool for me; it is a central nervous system connecting employees to information and IT support across the entire organization."
"Aisera's AI Copilot has achieved up to 75% automation of user requests, which is going to reduce our 80% consumer operation costs."
"Since deploying the chatbot, we have seen a 95% reduction in support tickets for anything related to password resets or password changes."
"Accuracy-wise, Aisera's AI Copilot is very good."
"This feature allowed our team organize and assign certain members to a particular group."
"It's very great for tracking your customer service activities, building reports, and gaining satisfaction from responses."
"The stability and performance have been perfect."
"Users can create their own tags, and they have their own views which are very nicely organized so they can see what is happening at any given time."
"Ticket submission has been completely streamlined and our ability to respond has been greatly simplified coming from our past solution (Sharepoint-based)."
"We tried to find a solution better and cheaper than Zendesk locally and we have not found any solution so complete and flexible as Zendesk."
"The benefits I have seen from using Zendesk include faster response times; as a CSM, faster response is the goal, which solves the customer's challenge in a timely manner, and Zendesk offers that capability, which is beneficial."
"I love how the tickets would auto-populate very quickly in Zendesk, especially when a call comes in."
 

Cons

"To improve Aisera's AI Copilot, automating the scripting would be beneficial so that it is a little bit more free-flowing and generic for the workflow because something as simple as a password reset will always have the same features."
"I believe that Aisera's AI Copilot could be improved with a more simplified initial implementation."
"There are several areas for improvement. First, hallucination control: being an LLM-based system, Aisera's AI Copilot occasionally generates confident but incorrect answers."
"Ticket forwarding and the ability to add subscribers to tickets as some back and forth correspondence needs to be brought to attention of several team members, sometimes across different departments."
"I would love to see an easier way to add users to Zendesk as well as a way to BCC people on tickets."
"I really wish they had a chat feature - like Olark for example."
"For smaller environments, some type of tutorial or walkthrough would be helpful for first time users."
"Zendesk could actually support HTML on the tickets so we could format our text better than the current options such as size, bold, italic, or underscored, because the text processing is too simple."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"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."
"It's expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is very competitive."
"You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."
"There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
"Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
"We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
