Chatbot has organized HR queries and has improved employee experience and self-service
The best feature that Leena AI offers is that it improves daily. Everything is improving with Leena AI, especially with enhancements in integrations, analytics, and the addition of AI in chatbots that help personalize content and provide relevant answers to end users based on past experiences from other companies. I worked in Human Resources and managed only the human resources section of Leena AI. Currently, Leena AI has also onboarded smart integration with WhatsApp, Teams, and Outlook, which is a valuable feature to have. Leena AI has positively impacted my organization since I implemented it in 2022 during COVID, as it organized messages from management and recruiters for 25,000 employees, helping to check their wellbeing while circulating important messages. After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined. Queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience. The improvements include an increase in resolution times. Since Leena AI is a growing chatbot, information that was previously scattered is now centralized, improving employee experience from 70% to 90% according to our survey.

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.

Pros

"After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined, queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience."
"Leena AI has positively impacted my organization by improving the efficiency of employees who were earlier not aware where to go to submit their HR-related queries."
"Leena AI has impacted my organization positively because its cost management is low, its responses are faster, and it scales easily."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"As per my experience Zendesk is a very impressive, efficient and convenient web based help desk application."
"Zendesk has been invaluable in automating communications such as email and phone calls."
"The stability has been very good."
"Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool."
"Even though I haven't tried other solutions, I think this product is very useful and easy to use."
"In a nutshell, it's a great tool that allows you to manage all your customer service issues in one location."
"Ticket submission has been completely streamlined and our ability to respond has been greatly simplified coming from our past solution (Sharepoint-based)."
 

Cons

"Customer support for Leena AI is very good, but it takes a lot of turnaround time to come back and resolve the questions, queries, or issues."
"Leena AI can be improved if we are able to automate all the questions rather than only common questions available."
"I really wish they had a chat feature - like Olark for example."
"There could be improvements in integration, which can be achieved with APIs or tools like Zapier."
"It was not easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features, and we wanted something that was easier to configure and set up."
"The solution itself wasn't easy to set up."
"The data you get when logged in to Zendesk Support differs from the data you get when you programmatically query Zendesk Support through its API because of a sync time delay."
"Zendesk Guide's customization could be improved; I would like it to be easier and maybe open-sourced, so that if you have a developer in your company, you can do it yourself."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
"It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,"
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"The price is very competitive."
