Find out in this report how the two CRM Customer Engagement Centers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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's very convenient 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."
"We rarely had issues with Zendesk."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Desk is very flexible, just like the other applications of Zoho."
"The most valuable feature of generating the ticket through the web form and for the e-mailers. So, if you are facing any issues, by the ticket, you can generate the issue in Google Test."

"The data you get when logged in to Zendesk Support differs from the data you get when you programmatically query Zendesk Support through its API because of a sync time delay."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"As per me, there arent much significant issues or areas for improvement with Zendesk, as my usage of it is limited. I appreciate its ability to organize tickets effectively based on tags, allowing me to easily gather and analyze customer feedback and requests."
"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."
"You couldn't give administrative access to new hires."
"The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem."
"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."
"Zoho Desk lacks lookup fields for the layouts."
"The customization of modules and some blueprint in the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Sometimes support is available according to their time slots and they can't fulfill everything I need them to. They give us a time slot but it's not always enough."
"I would like to have integrated support, and integration between the ticketing tool and the project management tool."
"The solution should provide an option to autofill some values while creating tickets."
"Zoho Desk needs to be enhanced to support IT service management policies."
"It could be easier to link Zoho Desk and Outlook."
"The solution could improve its stability and scalability."
