ROI

Sentiment score
4.1
Creatio Sales enhances business value by improving efficiency and user experience, though ROI and exact metrics are often untracked.
Sentiment score
6.0
Zendesk delivers cost savings, boosts efficiency, and enhances ticketing and reporting with easy configuration and strong support functions.
I can tell you that we probably saved at least three employees full-time with the ticket management and the automation and the macros and the user follow-up being built in.
Consultant and Startup Founder at AimHi Enterprises
Time saved is definitely a benefit because it puts all of our tickets in one spot.
Technical Solutions Lead at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
I feel that Zendesk helped us set up our platform for providing support way faster than other platforms due to its easy configuration.
Junior system analyst at Wevt clous
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
Creatio Sales support provides effective, responsive service with room for improvement, especially compared to Microsoft's more mature support.
Sentiment score
6.0
Zendesk offers responsive 24/7 support, rated highly for effectiveness, professionalism, and enhancing user satisfaction despite documentation reliance.
We have had some issues where I needed to contact the customer support manager, but they ensured the issues were resolved.
Associate Product Consultant at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
The company is oriented in its support policy as Microsoft is, but I think Creatio is not as big or mature as Microsoft, and the support is not very good for me.
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
There appears to be a lack of connection between the bot and the agents, making it feel scripted rather than helpful.
Technical Support Engineer/ QA at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
The technical support provided by Zendesk has been very satisfactory.
CEO at Etcetera Networks
Their support team from Zendesk is excellent, similar to what you have in Freshdesk.
Customer Success Manager at Mimshackworks Endeavors
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
Creatio Sales scales smoothly for various business sizes, supports customization, and ranks highly, although costs can increase.
Sentiment score
7.0
Zendesk scales well, but larger teams may need adjustments; integration is straightforward, though pricing and customization can be challenging.
If I want to make accessibility much more, I can create my own data center and own clusters with the non-functional requirements that I need.
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
We have not hit a peak or a turn yet that Zendesk has not been able to go with us or been able to grow with us in the process, change or pivot that the company is making.
Project Manager III at City of Union City Government
Zendesk can scale from very small companies to very large ones.
CEO at Etcetera Networks
Zendesk's scalability is excellent.
Technical Support Engineer/ QA at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Creatio Sales is highly stable with 99.9% uptime, supported globally, but not recommended for telecom or production use.
Sentiment score
7.8
Zendesk is stable, reliable, handles high traffic well, with rare outages and praised communication during maintenance and updates.
I do not recommend it for telecom operations or production operations, but for office operations, it is not critical.
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
They are always informing us with a status update and an ETA, and the turnaround time is usually within the same day with no extended downtime that would cause a detriment to our company.
Project Manager III at City of Union City Government
Zendesk is quite stable; we experience major outages only once or twice a year, making it very reliable.
Technical Support Engineer/ QA at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
I did not face any slowdown issue in Zendesk; it smoothly handles a lot of tickets.
Senior Software Developer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Improving email integration, mobile app, marketing configurations, documentation, pricing, data handling, and customization are key areas for Creatio Sales.
Zendesk needs improved customization, user-friendliness, pricing clarity, mobile optimization, and expanded communication features for better user satisfaction.
We had a client who needed quick order processing and invoice generation, and we experienced delays in terms of performance which left the client dissatisfied.
Associate Product Consultant at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
It is a solution aimed at middle and big companies since the minimal price for a license is $10,000 plus some costs for integration.
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
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.
Junior system analyst at Wevt clous
Zendesk is missing an AI aspect that could help provide quick answers based on the knowledge housed within the platform.
Technical Support Engineer/ QA at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Zendesk is amazing, and because they are always working on a new upgrade or a new integration, they are very forward-thinking from an engineering perspective.
Project Manager III at City of Union City Government
 

Setup Cost

Creatio Sales offers cost-effective pricing with flexible modules, undercutting Salesforce, and includes free and premium connectors.
Zendesk's pricing, viewed as expensive, varies with features and agents, and users should seek tailored solutions from Zendesk.
The marketplace is complicated for customers and primarily benefits partners.
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Zendesk shows that pricing is really affordable compared to other customer management software.
Dental Virtual Assistant at getreach.co
It is not the cheapest solution nor the most expensive, but it provides value for money.
CEO at Etcetera Networks
The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Zendesk was quite expensive.
Consultant and Startup Founder at AimHi Enterprises
 

Valuable Features

Creatio Sales offers user-friendly customization, low-code tools, competitive pricing, and excellent integration, analytics, and customization capabilities.
Zendesk offers ease of use, powerful integrations, customizable dashboards, comprehensive ticket management, and robust security with seamless data exchange.
The drag-and-drop campaign designer in Creatio may be advanced, and the platform has a very advanced no-code editor, where business analysts can work as no-code developers.
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
Sales Creatio's modules are easier to use with drag and drop functionality and configuration options.
Associate Product Consultant at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
It allows us to handle more support cases with fewer people due to its advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
CEO at Etcetera Networks
Zendesk is way cheaper than other ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, providing a good platform at a lower price so we could offer good support with a low budget for the license.
Junior system analyst at Wevt clous
Being able to put response counters on certain tickets and have certain ones that are high priority and have a tighter SLA than lower priority items, being able to categorize them as a question versus an urgent request, and being able to bucket them as feature requests or product enhancements.
Consultant and Startup Founder at AimHi Enterprises

Featured Reviews

Yevhen Yukhno - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
BPM workflows have accelerated decisions but complex projects still need better support and pricing
The biggest benefit of using Creatio for my company is the very fast start, but it is a solution aimed at middle and big companies since the minimal price for a license is $10,000 plus some costs for integration. It is not a budget solution for many companies, but it is very powerful and a very fast tracking solution. It is a SaaS solution, and all negatives apply to all SaaS products. It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments. It is not very well, but I do not know how it can improve.
AmandaSanchez - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant and Startup Founder at AimHi Enterprises
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.
