I gave this rating main for the AppExchange feature where we can add/Integrate a number of applications like dropbox and develop some innovative integrations which eliminate the usage of additional integration tools like Mulesoft. Salesforce also supports with proper guided tours and excellent customer support for the developers/Consultants.

While Desk.com is very useful and great to organize information and follow-up on different situations, it sometimes requires a lot from the user to learn. Overall, I would recommend it to everyone needing a software like this one, but it would be nice to simplify some of the process to ease the process of learning the system for new employees.

Desk.com is great for any organization that has a customer success/service dept. Desk.com is pretty user friendly and new users will need little to no training to maneuver this product

Agents and users had nothing but positive feedback. It’s the only Salesforce platform they use so for them the redundancy of having to log into multiple Salesforce platforms in order to take care of individual tasks wasn’t as frustrating from their view. For management however it is quite frustrating to have to do so.

It is because of the salesforce solution which is a big name in the market and I am satisfied with all of their products. Also it is a very user friendly tool. Employee onboarding on the tool is easy and fast. Low stress and better understanding of tools makes your work better and desk.com is able to provide it to my team

It lacks too many features and useful or rather I can say essential tools. It has very few customization options and is not value for money product. But it was useful in teaching the newbies and was quite useful. The lack of a search tool is the worst nightmare that was on desk.com.

If you want to keep track of your issues in a succinct environment, this is the tool. It works great for monitoring tasks as well. You get to see all of the information on one page. Not too often that this is accomplished in a ticketing system. Usually you have to maneuver to multiple screens to get the whole picture.

It just worked, I am a firm believer in always doing what will work best for both the company and for the user, this software was a good example of how an inexpensive software could have a user friendly interface and produce successful outcomes. There are alot of problems that were just avoided by this software over others and additionally the ROI was practically immediate.

Desk.com and Salesforce Service Cloud's usability is seamless to get up and running, administer, and scale across the organization. It allows us to get up and running in days rather than weeks and has transformed our customer support teams globally into efficient, world-class teams. The best practices that the Salesforce and Desk.com teams provide are also very valuable, as we have the right case studies and tips to implement right away in our organization.

While it can sometimes be glitchy it doesn't take long to teach new teammates how to use it. It's pretty simple. It does what it promises to do most of the time. Nothing too crazy.

Once it is fully set up with all of the unique and necessary customizations for your organization, it becomes easier to use, but before that, it is not very user-friendly and there are not a lot of training resources available. You likely need a Salesforce admin for initial set-up who is experienced with customization.

Because its complex feature capabilities make it possible to do what's needed in any case scenario. It is easy to navigate, quick to execute, and fully linkable across multiple apps and platforms. The only drawback is that it's not cheap especially if I need to add more users. Also, it keeps adding the right feature set when needed and gives the right tips on what to add.

I would rate Salesforce Desk.com's overall usability at a 10 because it is simple to see what you need to work on, what you're in the process of working on, what your queue needs to take care of, new hires, terminations, and what hasn't been worked on at all.

It is a reliable tool which is extremely easy to use, has good customer support and a large base of user community. There seems to be no major problems or outages and it performs as expected. More customizations and intuitive reporting functionalities would be expected as they are lagging a bit.
