A scalable and stable product that enables users to set properties dynamically
The solution is used mainly for reporting purposes. We generate PDFs, which are delivered to the recipient via email We can set any property dynamically. We have to use different currencies. Sometimes, we use the pound sign. Sometimes, we use the dollar sign. Our software is a multi-currency…

Automating customer support with advanced AI capabilities and seamless communication
Zendesk has been invaluable in automating communications such as email and phone calls. It allows us to handle more support cases with fewer people due to its advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. This intelligent tool can manage complex queries before users even realize they are interacting with a non-human. Additionally, we have integrated Zendesk with Datto and Klaviyo ( /products/klaviyo-reviews ), enhancing our workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"It's a very stable tool, very powerful."
"I found the user experience with vendors on Zendesk to be straightforward, especially when it comes to understanding and searching for specific tickets. The search and navigation tools are easy to use, and I haven't encountered any issues with delays or communication gaps in ticket resolutions."
"Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs."
"It's very convenient to use."
"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."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"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."
"The stability has been very good."
 

Cons

"The upgrades are not easy."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"Report generation is still slightly tricky and not very customizable as per my inquiries."
"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."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"You couldn't give administrative access to new hires."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
"Zendesk's stability on inbound calls could be improved as compared to Talkdesk."
"There could be improvements in integration, which can be achieved with APIs or tools like Zapier."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's 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."
"The price is very competitive."
"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."
"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."
