Featured Reviews

Vinitha Kundawad - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Implementation Engineer at Cisco
Automation of IT support has reduced repetitive tasks and now improves service efficiency
I believe that Aisera's AI Copilot could be improved with a more simplified initial implementation. There should be more out-of-the-box workflows as we have within other AI Copilots, and there should also be improved troubleshooting dashboards and better visibility for us to make AI decision-making. Additionally, while the support quality is generally good, I see that the implementation success depends heavily on planning, knowledge readiness, and integration design, but the customer support experience could be improved. I believe there are improvements needed that I haven't mentioned yet, including measurable productivity benefits and good enterprise integrations, which will also be appreciated. Since our success depends on data quality, that should also be improved, and the initial implementation must also see improvements so that we have a faster onboarding experience and easier performance and ROI reporting.

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."
"If their price is acceptable, I would recommend using Zendesk to all companies whose clients and employees need a simple way of raising issues."
"I'd say that the integration options that Zendesk offers are the most valuable features to our team."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use. If you take the standalone product, it is so easy to use, but if you want a tailor-made Zendesk Guide, you can't do it yourself. However, you can use a template that already exists—they have a lot, and they're very cheap, around 300-400 euros—and use it on all your brands. It's a very easy product to use."
"As per my experience Zendesk is a very impressive, efficient and convenient web based help desk application."
"The JIRA integration has helped tremendously with bug tracking and timely resolution."
"It's an amazing product, it really helps out in organizing all our tasks."
"One of the most valuable features is that Zendesk gives you a lot of configurability, and a lot of leeway in terms of customizing the look and theme. Zendesk offers you the facility to design your own landing page, as well as the look and feel of the entire knowledge base. At the same time, they offer themes that you can simply purchase and implement. Either way, it can really be turned into the right look and feel of the knowledge base required by our company, which is very important—if you have a bland-looking page, most of the time, people will lose interest. Zendesk also allows you to test the customizations before you publish it. It gives you a sandbox location where you can test everything new that you're trying to create and publish, which is very interesting."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"There are several areas for improvement. First, hallucination control: being an LLM-based system, Aisera's AI Copilot occasionally generates confident but incorrect answers."
"I believe that Aisera's AI Copilot could be improved with a more simplified initial implementation."
"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."
"The dashboard could be better."
"Most of the time, if a particular candidate has too many documents, it really takes some time to load."
"I really wish they had a chat feature - like Olark for example."
"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."
"It needs to have a more intuitive application of macro’s in changing ticket statuses."
"Reporting by Tags – this is not as effective as allowing reps to disposition tickets themselves."
"There could be improvements in integration, which can be achieved with APIs or tools like Zapier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The price is very competitive."
"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."
"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."
