Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance.
Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice.  The MDX IDE is fabulous. They respond quickly and responsibly to support requests.  New features in the reporting module…

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

"Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"I'd say that the integration options that Zendesk offers are the most valuable features to our team."
"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."
"We loved the notifications and the way to build custom views for a specific user's open tickets and to see how long they have been open, how long it was since the last request."
"Time saved is definitely a benefit because it puts all of our tickets in one spot."
"This is one of the better solutions on the market for SMBs."
"The collaboration between agents is impressive, and I also use Zendesk Workspace, which provides a seamless experience when communicating through chat and email."
 

Cons

"As with many products, the documentation is light in some areas."
"The licensing model needs to be more customer-friendly."
"The support is not on chat often which is quite frustrating if you want immediate answers but they do respond to tickets within 24 hours."
"Zendesk has not positively impacted my organization."
"Reporting by Tags – this is not as effective as allowing reps to disposition tickets themselves."
"Customer Service: 6/10 – usually helpful but sometimes very slow. Technical Support: 6/10 – usually helpful but sometimes very slow."
"They need to fix the email thread response problem."
"I would like to see more freedom when creating "Triggers" and "Automations"."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
 

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