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

"StratoNext makes managing AWS infrastructure with AI agents easier and more secure."
"The sheer ability to get anything done while just discussing as if I had a consultant in front of me!"
"The biggest impact has been on gathering info when something happens, like an error or a node goes down. We get an alert with all the relevant log events and with a clear next step to authorize. Result is saving 30 minutes for each incident and minimizing the likelihood of making mistakes or looking in the wrong place."
"We were able to get up and running with Zendesk in a very short time and build a robust web app including help desk functionality that makes the product owner and client very happy."
"Zendesk has positively impacted my organization primarily through security, as I do not have to worry about data breaches or leaks because all information is handled and processed through Zendesk, ensuring that only people within the organization can access it."
"Largely, we have been happy with its capabilities."
"Our company is based on this model and wouldn't be as successful as we are today without this support structure in place."
"Time saved is definitely a benefit because it puts all of our tickets in one spot."
"My advice to others looking into using Zendesk is that if you need an alternative to GitHub Actions or GitHub issues, this is worth looking at."
"Zendesk might seem a bit pricey at first, but once you get down to what value Zendesk can provide your company - both in terms of saved working hours, happier customers and CX data from multiple channels, it's well worth it!"
"We have found the stability to be quite good."
 

Cons

"Supporting multiple clouds."
"Some UI dialogs are quirky but the product is addressing every feedback I provide."
"My experience with Zendesk's customer support has not been positive. When I open a ticket for a bug, it often does not expedite the resolution process."
"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."
"I would like easy access for the mobile app as it can take quite a while to load the data."
"I do not have any specific examples for ROI because I was not paying for this application."
"If I write an article, and I have a team of 30 people, and they all have a Zendesk account, when I write an article, I send them an email. "Hey guys, I just wrote this article. It's one of the most popular topics this month on which we are not covered. Please check it and make sure that you include it in your resolutions". The issue is, once I send it to those 30 people, and they open it, the next morning, that article is the most popular article."
"The licensing model needs to be more customer-friendly."
"Recently they have been under some stability issues, but they do have @ZendeskOps to keep us posted on Twitter when they have issues."
"Additionally, "Internal note" is never just an internal note, it is sent to all recipients on the ticket, which has led to quite a lot of miscommunication and frustration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The price is very competitive."
"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."
"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."
"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."
