• Instead of using a developer's time to create a landing page for your FAQs, you can quickly and easily implement and update your FAQ/help center through Zendesk's Guide tool.
• Quickly and easily customize your customer's experience when interacting with your organization's support team. For example, you can update the automated response received upon ticket creation and the design of that email sent to customers from Zendesk's portal.
• Out of the box analytics for key KPIs. If you don't have much experience with this Zendesk's pre-built analytics will help you get an idea of how your support team is performing. If you want more robust reporting you can build it out with Zendesk's free Goddata analytics tool.

• Licensing can be challenging and very expensive.
• Client templates are hard to administer and are built very different than the rest of the functionality.
• Web desktop has been slow to come along and include all the features.
• Optimizer is very sub-par product.

• The workflow was fixed, so if your ticket flow didn't fit with how ZenDesk thought it should it was difficult to manage. For example, I like to separate tickets where we are waiting for something from the customer from tickets where I'm waiting for an employee to deliver something. This was impossible, and when I gave that feedback I was told that wasn't a valid way of looking at support. This meant I had to inspect each and every "Pending" ticket every day to separate them to generate a list of tasks.
• Their ticket UI is weird and difficult to understand.
• As a manager, I wanted to see what tickets my customer service agents submitted over the past week, but their "View" feature doesn't include OR logic making it impossible to create a proper search. Even just getting a list of all of the tickets that were completed in the past week was impossible without a lot of massaging of the data, and tech. support refused to even answer the question. I had to do two searches, one for "solved" tickets and one for "closed" tickets, and you couldn't change the state workflow since their crazy system doesn't allow it.

• Saves an enormous amount of time by centralizing communication based on issue, rather than having to lean on users to pay close attention to email AND phone AND chat services that your company may use. It feels like a one-stop shop for help, rather than sending a request into the abyss and waiting to see if someone hears you.
• Provides multiple options for connecting with users through chat, phone, or screen share (with app plugins like TeamViewer). This keeps tickets focused and helps users contextualize the troubleshooting, which generally makes for quicker resolution time and quicker response time.
• Simple to understand leaderboards and metrics allow higher levels of analysis for team efficiency, individual contributions, and trending issues. This helps teams create documentation on common problems to store in the end-user knowledge base and identify pain points across the user base.
