The Zendesk Support suite is a cloud-based customer support software built for better customer relationships. Designed to improve customer satisfaction and to support customers on any channel: text SMS, web, mobile app, phone, email, social media. The vendor states more than 200,000 companies such as Uber, Groupon, Box, Airbnb, and Slack are using Zendesk to lower their support costs, raise productivity, and increase customer satisfaction. Zendesk offers a full suite of products to meet customer…
Zendesk has it's own challenges in terms of Administrator difficulties and a completely different back-end than Salesforce Service Cloud. I would recommend Salesforce Service Cloud if you need a clean database of Companies and Contacts. Zendesk does not excel in overall CRM …
Salesforce Service offers the ability to customize the product to our business needs such as tracking workflow processes. While Zendesk is a good product it is limited to being more of a ticketing system, than a true overall Service application.
We were after a robust and very scalable solution, which could be rapidly implemented. Salesforce Service Cloud not only fitted the bill, but it was much easier to source skills and find on-line learning to help achieve our goals. Although the other technologies could have …
Salesforce is lightyears behind Zendesk. You have to be trained as a Salesforce admin to do anything, while Zendesk takes minutes to set up and is actually customer friendly. There are not native telephony options within Salesforce and the tools you use to integrate are …
Zendesk changed their agreements making us unable to continue with them due to our agreements with our customers. SalesForce allowed us to maintain our customer agreements.
Salesforce Service cloud integrates with its own world-class CRM which enables our agents to work more effectively and efficiently. We already had Salesforce Sales Cloud so it was a really easy transition. It was easy to set up and all our information was already there. The …
Salesforce Service Cloud has a solid reputation and brand recognition. The interface is user friendly enough to be utilized across an entire company with varying employee tech exposure. Service Cloud was selected due to the integration options with other software companies and …
Salesforce had the most flexibility, features and integrations. They were also so tightly integrated in with opportunity management and case management. I love having the ability to create custom objects to solve any kind of business problem. There is also a lot of …
Zendesk is great, but it doesn't allow for multiple ticketing channels to be linked to real time clients. Utilizing Service Cloud WITH Salesforce let's us see the full order/asset/tracking history that's occurred historically with buyers and sellers. The workflows are also …
We chose Service Cloud because of its deep, native integration with Salesforce, unified billing, and for the fact that we didn't have to learn or train on an entirely new platform. These other products were excellent, but for us it was more time and cost effective to use …
The chat functionality and the app of Zopim is pretty robust and functional. I do feel like Zopim/Zendesk do have features and a very clean UI that at times does over perform Salesforce.
Salesforce has increased their traction in the SMB space for service with the acquisition of Desk.com. It provides a good entry level solution for customer service and knowledge for less complex organizations. Additionally, it gets them up and running quicker. Without Desk.com, …
Zendesk is more user-friendly than Salesforce Service Cloud, although Salesforce Essentials has very attractive pricing for including both the sales and service components. Freshdesk is a strong alternative, but we ended up going with Zendesk given its industry-leader status.
To set up a service cloud for Salesforce, you need much more work and a dedicated person to do it. For Zendesk Suite, you just need a couple of hours and you are done, but again that really depends on where your customer data is stored, if your data is in Zendesk Suite, you are …
Salesforce is far more established but the price tag was too high for our small team. I would be surprised if we didn’t migrate to Salesforce when our team reaches a certain size
Zendesk is the gold standard and Salesforce is lightyears behind. It is such an inferior product and it's only being used because SF ropes/tricks people into using it because their sales organization is already using SF. Zendesk is so easy to use and Salesforce requires …
Zendesk was a lot more user-friendly than Service Cloud or Desk.com. We ultimately chose Zendesk for that reason. We felt like all of the platforms we were considering were going to be able to help us accomplish our main goal of handling inbound support tickets, but we felt …
