I feel that Zendesk helped us set up our platform for providing support way faster than other platforms due to its easy configuration.
We were able to offer a seamless 24/7 support experience and meet all our SLAs due to the robust nature of the platform.
we have never had an issue when reaching out to someone in customer service
I have not needed to contact the customer support of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, as they provided thorough knowledge transfer once they handed over the services.
usually, they respond and help us fix issues during integration.
There appears to be a lack of connection between the bot and the agents, making it feel scripted rather than helpful.
The technical support provided by Zendesk has been very satisfactory.
Their support team from Zendesk is excellent, similar to what you have in Freshdesk.
The product was highly scalable, with no limits on the number of applications or event routing rules.
The scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very good, and it can handle increasing traffic as our organization expands without any issues.

Zendesk can scale from very small companies to very large ones.
Zendesk's scalability is excellent.
We have never experienced any downtime or latency issues from PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
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.
Zendesk is quite stable; we experience major outages only once or twice a year, making it very reliable.
The stability has been quite reliable.
It would be useful to have a way to define all configurations in code that is similar to how Terraform operates.
Once a user acknowledges the alert, it may be unnecessary to continue calling again and again, as it distracts from their work on resolving the issue.
We could make that line more expressive to show who will get escalated if someone misses.
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.
Zendesk is missing an AI aspect that could help provide quick answers based on the knowledge housed within the platform.
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.
We have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for several years, so our pricing and cost have definitely increased over time, especially as we have hired additional engineers.
Pricing, setup cost, and licensing were not my headaches, and the organization already provided me with everything set up.
It is not the cheapest solution nor the most expensive, but it provides value for money.
The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Zendesk was quite expensive.
It integrates with multiple applications and is highly customizable, with policies, escalation procedures, and an event routing tool that ensures contacting the right person.

Before, setting up everything was very difficult. Now, we don't have to think about it. We can simply set it up in PagerDuty and it works.
It allows us to handle more support cases with fewer people due to its advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
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.

Brandon J., Director of engineering at a wellness & fitness company, says, "The SMS pages and the mobile application are pretty much the top two features."
PeerSpot reviewer Pramodh M., DevSecOps Consultant at a tech services company, comments, “The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable. There is a flexible and easy way of integrating with monitoring tools. It allows us to configure the integration with APIs and plugins as well.”
Syed Mohammad A., Vice President - Operations and Client Services at a financial services firm, mentions, "PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts. We could assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered. It makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."
A Principal Architect at an energy/utilities company states, “The most important feature that is used is call scheduling. We are also able to actually call IT folks in the case of an emergency.”
Zendesk Support is intuitive, and it's built with support agents in mind. Everything they need lives in a single, dynamic help desk interface so it's easy to be productive and manage customer interactions.
