Vinitha Kundawad - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"Aisera's AI Copilot has achieved up to 75% automation of user requests, which is going to reduce our 80% consumer operation costs."
"It has provided a services management platform that automates employee and customer support processes through conversational AI with self-service capabilities, making it a good solution that I can directly suggest to anyone."
"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."
"Zendesk saves us over $50,000 per year and can be maintained in-house by our staff."
"Zendesk is a great product but find a software package that will work best for your team and company."
"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."
"Zendesk has helped us to increase productivity and has reduced the time between when a ticket is opened and when it is completed."
"My advice to others looking into using Zendesk is that if you are looking for a tool that is cheaper than others but provides a good solution, I would let them know that Zendesk is the best option."
"I love how the tickets would auto-populate very quickly in Zendesk, especially when a call comes in."
"To be honest with you, I thought Zendesk was a very good product."
"Zendesk is a very good product."
 

Cons

"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."
"From a costing point of view, sometimes the results are not what the customer wanted."
"It needs to have a more intuitive application of macro’s in changing ticket statuses."
"Zendesk's stability on inbound calls could be improved as compared to Talkdesk."
"Additionally, "Internal note" is never just an internal note, it is sent to all recipients on the ticket, which has led to quite a lot of miscommunication and frustration."
"There are various aspects of this product that need improvement such as its flexibility, price, and installation."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem."
"The solution itself wasn't easy to set up."
"Partitioning rules and triggers need improvement."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
