    Kayako
    When it works, It's without a doubt a great help desk solution. It is perfect for our usage, and have rolled it out company-wide. It's great if you have multiple departments. We have it set up so most items come through a single desk that then hands out tickets to their proper department. There may be cheaper options for smaller organizations but for one that is as service-driven as ours, we really think Kayako is a great fit.

    While doing training and technical support to our users, we need to connect to their system, and we do not go physically. With Zoom Workplace, we can connect with them in the meeting, and they can share their screen, and we can access their screen, which is very easy to give training and support. With other software, you cannot do all these things at once.

    Pros
    Kayako
    • Gives a very good report on an individual level of what is being done for a customer or corporate issue.
    • Easy to understand who has what, what the tickets are about, how long they have been opened and how many times the customer/employee have gone back and forth with each other.
    • Nice dashboard view.

    • AI - Powered productivity. With this feature, drafting messages, automating tasks, and summarizing meetings are easy, which boosts productivity.
    • It is an all-in-one collaboration tool. With Zoom Workplace, we can send messages, make calls, schedule meetings, and share documents. It offers all the collaboration features our team needs.
    • Makes scheduling easy thanks to Zoom Scheduler that is part of Zoom Workplace.
    • The tool ensures teams communicate securely which is a plus.
    • It comes with a mobile app for added convenience, and no one misses important updates.

    Cons
    Kayako
    • Departments need a bit of work. Even though you can have multiple departments, the only changes that can be made are globally. If you want independent queues within the departments, you have to do a lot of work that can be very confusing.
    • Survey system is not up to speed. Kayako really needs to add Net Promoter Score into their system. Also, if a staff user removes their name from an incident ticket, it removes them from the survey so you really can't even get a good estimate of how well your staff is in the eyes of the customer.
    • Very difficult to implement when you already have a customer base. Setting them up in organizations is difficult. Also, the sign-up for new customers is quirky. If you send an email to Kayako, it will say you are not an authorized user, however, it will store your email address. If you try to send an email a second time, it will go through. This is one of many reasons why we decided to move from Kayako to Oracle Service Cloud.

    • I don't think there is any malfunction in their solution; it's extremely convenient to use, be it creating a meeting invite, adding people, sending any extra stuff to them. It's quick, and this is the only tool that works seamlessly even on Androids.

    • We are grandfathered in on their old Software-assurance pricing and our continued use costs us only a few hundred dollars a year (excluding hosting expenses)
    • Our team's processes are now heavily ingrained in the system
    • We have not been shown a more compelling option that is more cost-effective while still offering all the features we've come to expect

    It's really easy to use - the AI icon is everywhere all over the place in the Zoom client so it's easy to be able to leverage AI whenever you need it, and similarly in the meeting it's easy to find and to use. I don't have complaints here that I can think of

    They are really good, but it takes a while to get back, because of the large time difference to the Eastern US. However, they are very helpful.

    • We didn't have to use support too much, but when we did, they were able to assist us and help us make everything work.
    • Mostly we used their Online KB and step by step instructions to get all of our issues resolved.

    Three years in we are about as happy with Kayako as we could be. We've had several employee's leave and on-boarding new hires was easier than it has ever been as things are uniform and consistent across the entire application.

    We were using Spiceworks for a few years before switching to Kayako but found that it wasn't as customizable or as user friendly for our customers. The SNMP scanning and inventory features with Spiceworks was nice but we needed more of a Help Desk that would allow us to scale our services to more companies.

    Compared to Microsoft Teams, Zoom AI Companion is a clear pioneer in this remote and virtual collaboration platform, leading the way. It is possible to have a remote meeting on both Microsoft Teams and Zoom AI Companion. But Zoom AI Companion provides
    more productivity and time savings to users. Zoom AI Companion continues to enhance its features to provide value to the product.

    Return on Investment
    Kayako
    • Tickets were definitely responded to faster once we implemented the audible alarm that would go off when new tickets came into the queue. This was possible because of the API.
    • Since the system was email based we could set our monitoring software up to generate tickets automatically via email for customers when it found something out of the ordinary.

    • We've been able to significantly accelerate our quest production, enabling us to give many more youth a voice on our platform, and give the kids who play [...] many more windows into one another's worlds!
    • It's increased our fundraising capacity since grant applications require pulling together insights from funder meetings, advice from previous grantees, outside research, and testimonials from users. ZoomMate helps to synthesize and package it efficiently so we can do more.

You can describe a workflow in natural language ("when someone files a support ticket about pricing, route it to the sales team and post a notification in the deal channel"), use pre-built templates, or build one visually. They run on triggers — events, schedules, or agentic logic — and can be configured with approval checkpoints to keep you in the loop where approvals are needed.Screenshot of Create: AI-first productivity tools
