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

"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."

"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."

"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"

"Zendesk has helped us to better connect and respond quicker to our clients."

"Our company is based on this model and wouldn't be as successful as we are today without this support structure in place."

"We have improved the service to clients, creating great support and managing relationships."

"The stability has been very good."

"It's very convenient to use."

"Ticket submission has been completely streamlined and our ability to respond has been greatly simplified coming from our past solution (Sharepoint-based)."

"The ability to easily create macros, quickly see past correspondence from a recent sender, and view analytics are incredibly helpful features that are invaluable business tools."

"The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team."

More Zendesk pros

Cons

"Their live-chat support needs work."

"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."

"There are some edge cases where the simplicity of the platform prevented some unusual workflows, but we worked around it without much hassle."

"Zendesk's stability on inbound calls could be improved as compared to Talkdesk."

"My experience with Zendesk's customer support has not been positive. When I open a ticket for a bug, it often does not expedite the resolution process."

"The stability was a problem as our help desk grew. The product would need work on its stability (system hangs) and being able to handle larger groups."

"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."

"You couldn't give administrative access to new hires."

"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."

"We work in print so being able to preview files attached and having larger files (larger than 7MB would be great) would be a welcomed improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."

"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."

"The price is very competitive."

"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."

"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."

"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."
