Find out in this report how the two Knowledge Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Notion is a great tool for note-keeping and note-sharing."
"We can install it on mobile phones, making it feasible to manage productivity."
"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion."
"I like the high level of customization in Notion."
"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs."
"It's a very stable tool, very powerful."
"The most valuable features of Zendesk Support are collaboration, reports, and a self-service portal. The customer and team can see all the information needed from the portal."
"It has good management, the ability to sign tickets based on content, the multi-channel support, the self service portal, the integration with Salesforce, the setup process, and the product features as we are currently using them."
"We rarely had issues with Zendesk."
"The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team."
"One of the most valuable features is that Zendesk gives you a lot of configurability, and a lot of leeway in terms of customizing the look and theme. Zendesk offers you the facility to design your own landing page, as well as the look and feel of the entire knowledge base. At the same time, they offer themes that you can simply purchase and implement. Either way, it can really be turned into the right look and feel of the knowledge base required by our company, which is very important—if you have a bland-looking page, most of the time, people will lose interest. Zendesk also allows you to test the customizations before you publish it. It gives you a sandbox location where you can test everything new that you're trying to create and publish, which is very interesting."
"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."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"The product could be integrated with external platforms."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."
"Notion's UI could be better."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"Notion's UI needs improvement."
"The dashboard could be better."
"The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem."
"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. Right now, that isn't allowed, so you need to have it done via the integrator. Another improvement—this is nit-picking—is that it could be less easy to make changes. Some things are so easy that they sometimes look a little amateur-ish. Most of the templates are built-in so they can be used directly, so they are very simple."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"The solution itself wasn't easy to set up."
"There is always a network issue with Zendesk. But we don’t know whether it is managed. The network issue is that when I call, it does not let us."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
