Featured Reviews

Greg Jacob - PeerSpot reviewer
Executive Consultant at Gemini Solutions Group
Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process
The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."
"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."
"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."
"The fact that you have all your products with NetSuite CRM+, and you have the ability to add those from the beginning of a lead to a quote to an opportunity, means the whole process flows well compared to using other CRMs in the market."
"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."
"It forced the organization to rethink sub-par work processes and enabled us to work smarter."
"Zendesk is a great product but find a software package that will work best for your team and company."
"The initial setup was incredibly simple: choose your integration method, set up your fields and workflow, and it’s running."
"We receive less questions from customers, so this is a big win for our support."
"Even though I haven't tried other solutions, I think this product is very useful and easy to use."
"Zendesk has had a positive impact on my company by increasing efficiency and also increasing customer satisfaction."
"The way it’s set up makes it very easy for agents, end-users, and administrators to use."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
 

Cons

"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."
"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."
"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."
"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."
"Merging tickets is very time consuming; maybe the system can automatically merge tickets that are related and on the same topic."
"Not that it was particularly difficult, but we needed direct assistance from Zendesk for the implementation."
"There could be improvements in integration, which can be achieved with APIs or tools like Zapier."
"We needed to code stuff on our side due to business specific needs which Zendesk could not account for."
"They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously."
"An area of opportunity for Zendesk is probably just when there's a long email chain and everything gets forwarded to support, I know it can be time consuming for them to extract the important information from the email chain."
"The reports could be more fine tuned to enable better handling of tickets by individual agents and teams."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price is very competitive."
