Powerful chat app but lackluster design

  • June 06, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are some really great analytics built into the Zendesk chat, including viewing where viewers are on your site with a live view. I found myself always sitting on that page to see where users were going and how many visitors we had on the site.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the design options of zendesk chat, and I strongly dislike the fact that the chat box is so large on page load without the ability to shrink it down to a smaller icon. For this reason I switched over to olark.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We just needed to chat with site visitors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out Olark. It's the same level of features but more modern UI. Much better looking IMO.

Awesom

  • June 05, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and the level of help desk support
What do you dislike about the product?
Insights doesn't offer a lot of reporting metrics but there is the ability to create custom reporting with GoodData.

Really wish there were additional features around Satisfaction surveys and the ability to get more granular with the data and predictions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our support department is built around Zendesk, it allows us to manage all customer communication in a timely and efficient manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize the customer support center -- it will help a lot

Great for customer support, reporting needs work

  • June 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Zendesk has some great features like spam filtering, and also allows for add-ons via their marketplace to handle things like FAQ creation straight from tickets and OOO management for agents.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting is really strong, but the built in functionality doesn't really meet needs--you need to meddle with the GoodData set up fairly extensively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly customer support. We've been able to mine our reporting data quite a bit after we got more familiar, and that helps us address trends more quickly and provide a better customer experience.

    Writing and Editing

Gets the job done but can be hard to navigate

  • May 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Zendesk is that it can handle pretty much any number of people being on the same ticket, or just on the system. It also tells you who else is looking at the ticket, which is often very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can lose tickets almost instantaneously. If you solve a ticket, it can be very hard to find it again, unless you remember very specific keywords (which you can then search for). I've made it a habit of remembering unique words in a ticket so that if I need to find it again, I can.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire customer service platform relies on Zendesk. It's 100% of how we communicate with our clients.

Really great Ticketing tool

  • May 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Allows transparency across teams and team members. From my Support team to my development team, we can see all facets of a user
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a huge fan of how they set ticket status. Really enjoy how HelpScout accomplished this with pending, open and on-hold. Think Zendesk can certainly improve this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seamless customer communication and resolution of support tickets

Worse than Salesforce Desk at some things but better at more!

  • May 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lots of great apps and integrations! Good team management. Awesome automations and triggers options. Good reporting, though someone complex to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing some basic email functions like BCC and Forwarding. Attachements get sent as DL Links rather than actual attachments. No customization for search results view. No ability to split tickets easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and management of support cases. Compared to just using email, it's irreplaceable! The ability to provide live chat as well is crucial for our customer base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to set everything up carefully at the beginning as changes down the road can lead to lost data. Also, understand how important Tags are for Views and Reporting! Make sure all of your custom fields add a tag, but don't have people manually tag stuff.

Zendesk for tracking work and collaborating with various teams

  • May 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
* Track work in one clear thread
* Advanced search capabilities: I can easily search for a ticket using complex search parameters
* Collaborate with various teams in your company. Ticket can be logically passed across teams as each phase of work is completed. This is ideal for tracking work progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
*Integration with outlook could improve.
* More formatting options made available (e.g HTML mode in Outlook provides a richer set of tools for formatting emails)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
*Keep track of work and customer requests in an organized fashion.
* Escalate / pass work to various teams as the project moves to a different phase of it's life cycle.

Intuitive, gets the job done

  • May 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Zendesk is very intuitive, customizable to our specific needs, and makes answering support questions easy and effective. Zendesk makes me more productive and creates a fun experience. The Help Center makes adding, editing, and keeping help docs up to date so easy! Especially when products are always changing.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints really, I had a few issues with the old UI, but my concerns seem to be fixed with the new update. It is now cleaner and easier to view reports and tickets with comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use zendesk for customer and lead support questions and help documentation. Without zendesk we would have email support that is disorganized and time consuming and old help docs that are not helpful. The benefits of zendesk are plenty!
