Smartsupp vs. Zendesk Suite

Smartsupp is good for every ecommerce with need to answer questions of clients and comunicate with them. A lot of convesations can be automated, so I need less people to do the same work

Zendesk is good for small teams where work is not passed along to internal teams or situations where escalations lead to further customer interactions and no further oversight is needed. It is weak as a product for larger and medium-sized companies, where processes are in place that are not aligned with its workflow, as it is a very rigid tool.

• Ability for multi-platform login between Android, Apple IOS, and Windows
• Much less buggy than our previous Chat provider
• Ability to see Live and Offline visitors

• Merging of the tickets with similar issues, it is easy to avoid confusion
• Al global team somehow gets connected with different ways like Slack, with the Zendesk Suite which is so easier to highlight & the issue quickly
• The best thing is that this tool gives you to send the message via chat-, email, call through the one single platform
• Now AI has been added so it works good

• I wish we would be able to check ip adresses so we can link the chats so companies before they fill out a contact form

• Is there a way for AEs and CSMs to be informed in a weekly summary of all their accounts and any tickets? Example: Disney submitted a ticket on XYZ. Google has an urgent issue on X still unresolved.
• Is there a way for CSMs or AEs to have a Dashboard that's specific to their accounts instead of seeing all the tickets in the queue that are not relevant to them?

Zendesk is an amazing tool for communicating with your customers easily. The communication tickets from sellers to us or from us to sellers are stored, and there are statuses used to make communication easy. We have internal conversations between departments, linked with useful software such as Zingtree, Talkdesk, and Webs.

Customer response has been much better.In the past, the conversion rate for our services has been very low, probably due to poor UI/UX.But considering that we were still getting a certain number of conversions, we believe that the demand from users was very strong.With the addition of the chat function, we now have a point of contact with customers who had not converted.

Pros: The agent interface is sleek, contemporary, and relatively easy to learn compared to many other enterprise tools. For common tasks, admins are given point-and-click options- adding fields, modifying workflows, constructing macros. The knowledge base (Guide) editor is easy to use for non-developers. Drawbacks: Once you move past the initial things - complex automations, reporting/analytics in Explore, and/or customizations integrating the API, it requires much more advanced training to use successfully. Navigating between the different modules (Support, Explore, Chat, Guide) can feel very disconnected; often you are reminded that it really is a "suite" of products brought together -not really one unified platform. If you're using multiple brands managing simultaneous support tickets, or heavily customizing workflows to meet your brand, you may run into a bit of struggle with usability. So: it's a lot more user friendly than the palaces (Salesforce Service Cloud, ServiceNow), but is not used as quickly or with as much streamlined flow as a product made for a small shop. So if you are looking for a great balance, this is a good option if you are a net new organization or an organization on their way to scaling from 15 - 50 employee. Expect some elbow grease from the admin team once learning, adapting, and working efficiently once you move past the basics with your support tickets and initial customizations.

In the past year, I'd say I have only noticed maybe two hours total of downtime in my own usage. Very minimal.

There has been minor performance degradation on a very few days out of the two years I have been using the product.

We rarely need to contact their support team, but when we do they are responsive. However there have been notable times when communication between myself and the support rep was challenging despite me providing clear explanation of the issue, screenshots, and a thorough explanation of the goal we hope to achieve. It took several back and forth attempt, on a few occasions, to get resolution on an otherwise simple request

Zendesk has tons of available material for training - videos, webinars, articles, etc. The only reason this is not a 10 is because it can be hard to figure out how to navigate to these things and find what you are looking for.

I was very satisfied. They have a free trial for 30 days and I recommend you do that and use it. It is very easy to get started with the basics and the build on over time.

The only thing technically complex was single sign-on and integration to Salesforce.com required some tweaks – otherwise setting up system was very easy

All the features found in other programs in Smartsupp are brought together. In addition, the price offer is attractive, and the multitude of selection of options and possible add-ons is very large and tailored to different thresholds, so everyone should choose an offer perfectly suited to their needs. I haven't had the need to use support, so it's hard for me to judge, but the very fact that I haven't had to do so probably speaks well for it.

At the time of evaluation, Dynamics had extremely limited knowledge and support capabilities. The UI is clunky, and reporting requires a deep understanding of the underlying data structure. Ongoing maintenance was costly and didn't provide a positive ROI in any sense of the term.

WHY we will use Zendesk in HR and PD internally

Incentivized

• It has a very positive impact. I need less workers to do the same job.
• A lot of communication can be automated - especially answers for simple questions.

• More than anything, provided a boost to our perceived professionalism. The portal is a massive improvement on email only support.
• Workflow optimization via macros and automations has enhanced response times and raise our 'first call resolution' metric.
• Speaking of metrics; having them at all! Before Zendesk Suite we were email only so had no insight into agent and vendor performance.
