    DevRev
    DevRev is well suited for both multi-team and single-team environments, and teams can realize meaningful value even without having product, engineering, and support all onboarded at the same time. Its strength is clearest when used by customer-facing and delivery-adjacent teams that benefit from shared context and tighter feedback loops. However, DevRev is less appropriate out of the box for teams that sit outside those core functions, as the platform’s terminology and workflows are opinionated toward product, engineering, and support use cases. Without deeper custom object support and greater flexibility in redefining terms and processes, it has been challenging to demonstrate value to those teams and to help them move away from established tools and ways of working.

    Zoho Desk is a great customer service tool. It is very easy to track the ability to receive tickets and send responses in Zoho Desk. There are lots of options for customization. The knowledge base feature is very extensive and powerful. It makes creating internal and external FAQs easy.

    Cons
    DevRev
    • The onboarding experience could be improved for teams that are not directly implementing DevRev, as they are often introduced to a powerful platform without enough guided context and can feel overwhelmed early on.
    • Creating and managing objects, dashboards, and other configurations would benefit from more robust desktop-based creation tools, as current workflows can feel constrained or unintuitive at scale. Use industry standard language and report building.
    • While regressions are rarely critical, the frequency of small UI issues, such as broken date selectors or text visibility problems caused by theming, creates unnecessary friction and frustration for users.

    • The biggest drawback that I am facing while using the platform is that their ticketing system is not that great [in my opinion]. It does not give us the option to add sales tax and other charges in the invoices which leads to a big problem for us.
    • [I feel] its customer support needs improvement.

    Usability
    DevRev
    DevRev provides strong support through a dedicated key account manager and tech team, making the experience seamless. There might be hurdles, but they get resolved with team support. The tool is also very easy to use, with the user able to customize and use various features as needed.

    I give [Zoho Desk] [an] overall usability score of 9. This is partly due to the search functionality needs improvement. There are several times where I am left unable to find a ticket and have to generate a new one. I am hoping in the future that they will make some changes!

    I have no functionality, reliability, or speed concerns with DevRev. In the past, we raised a few latency issues that were fixed within days by the engineering team. The DevRev team were incredibly thankful for these being raised.

    As Zoho Support is based in a different timezone to ours it can be an issue that we cannot get an immediate response to an issue. But I will say that once their Support is in the office they are fairly good to respond. they have resolved almost all issues I have told them about, but Zoho have also made system changes and not communicated these beforehand which means we are faced with something new and cannot get support on this until their support team is in the office

    While Freshdesk and Kapture are great tools, they lack advanced features such as agent assist and AI summarisation. Dedicated support at these companies also becomes an issue, as no dedicated team is allotted due to frequent changes. Also, these tools are not DIY kind and require external help for use and excellence.

    We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.

    Scalability
    DevRev
    DevRev is incredibly flexible - while we started with a support and product move to the tool - Engineering, Finance, People, and our Account Management team quickly followed. The best part about these teams being in DevRev is tying everything back to the customer and being able to build intuitive, flexible workflows for any need.
