Zendesk Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Customer Success Manager at Mimshackworks Endeavors4.0I've used Zendesk for over eight months and found it easy to set up, helpful for faster responses, and similar to Freshdesk, though it could improve by incorporating more AI. I’d rate it 8.5 out of 10.
CEO at Etcetera Networks4.5We use Zendesk primarily for customer support, relying on its AI capabilities to automate communications and manage complex queries. While integration could be improved, we've enhanced workflows with Datto and Klaviyo. Understanding its ROI is challenging due to long-term use.
Technical Consultant at Spectrum Group3.0We used Zendesk for IT Service Management in a mobile app context, but faced issues with its annual price increases and complex administration. Due to integration limitations and lack of desired features, we decided to switch to another solution.
Customer Success Lead at Power Financial Wellness, Inc4.0I have used Zendesk for customer service and ticketing, appreciating its quick ticket auto-population. However, it could improve call stability, as issues sometimes arise during call recordings. I've also used Talkdesk, Freshdesk, and 3CX previously.
Product Marketing Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees4.0I use Zendesk to gather market insights from customer tickets for feature releases and product launches. The platform is straightforward, particularly for ticket searches, and effectively organizes feedback. I've heard it’s popular among medium-sized businesses but haven't used others personally.
Executive Leader at Tonkin + Taylor3.5We use Zendesk primarily as a help desk, valuing its ability to track requests. However, its report generation lacks customization. Although ServiceNow offers more features, Zendesk is a more cost-effective choice for our organization.
Staff Technical Writer at Netradyne4.0No summary available
Software Engineer at Readyly3.5We use Zendesk Support for customer support, adding our own automation to enhance efficiency. Its valuable APIs and trigger notifications reduce our workload. However, there's a sync delay between the interface and API data, and stability improvements are needed.
