We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks.""Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports.""It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."

"What is cool about Zendesk Guide is how it works together with others Zendesk products. Especially with support and with the analytics. Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool.""It's very convenient to use.""Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs.""It's a very stable tool, very powerful.""We rarely had issues with Zendesk.""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.""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.""The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content."

Cons
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar.""The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution.""The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."

More Teamwork Cons →

"They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously.""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.""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 itself wasn't easy to set up.""Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful.""The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook.""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.""Zendesk Guide could be improved by allowing us to put our assets in one location. What happens now for each article, for example, is we have to upload the images for that article to that location, so the image reuse is still not something that they have perfected. If they could allow us to update all the images in one location, and then pull the image from there, it would be easier when working on Multibrand projects. There are no Multibrand updates available—we have to update each brand manually. For my company, I have come up with an API tool which allows me to push the content to multiple brands together, but if you don't have something like that, you have to manually do it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
  • "We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
  • More Teamwork Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."

    One of the key features of Teamwork is its task management capabilities. Users can create tasks, assign them to team members, set due dates, and track progress. This ensures that everyone is on the same page and deadlines are met. Additionally, users can create task dependencies, allowing for better coordination and sequencing of work.

The software also includes a messaging feature, enabling real-time communication and reducing the need for lengthy email threads.

    Another notable feature of Teamwork is its time-tracking functionality. Users can log their time spent on tasks, providing valuable insights into project progress and resource allocation. This feature is particularly useful for tracking billable hours and ensuring accurate invoicing.

    Teamwork also offers robust project planning and scheduling capabilities. Users can create project timelines, set milestones, and allocate resources. The software provides a visual representation of project progress, allowing teams to easily identify bottlenecks and adjust timelines accordingly.

    Furthermore, Teamwork integrates with a wide range of third-party applications, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Slack, enhancing collaboration and streamlining workflows. The software also offers mobile apps, enabling users to stay connected and productive on the go.

    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.
