    Chose Gorgias
    We selected Gorgias from Zendesk based on its Shopify integration. Given how many stores we were managing the team needed to quickly find all of a customer's information in an email. We preferred it to Zendesk. However, now that I use intercom I have many more features such as …

    Gorgias is easier to set-up and use on a basic level, however doesn't offer as many customizations. Zendesk Suite is a better choice for our scale, and the needs of reporting.

    Gorgias is one of the easiest platforms I've used, as it was easy to navigate. You can customize your views so you can easily track them. The shared views are also specific and convenient. The search button is also one thing I like, as it easily shows what you're looking for with just keywords, email addresses, or any information.

    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.

    Pros
    Gorgias
    • Tagging- the tagging system was a great way to stay organized.
    • Rules- when you have 49 inboxes implementing rules on when to fire a macro or auto tag is necessary and Gorgias’ UI was easy to understand and execute.
    • Integrations- I had to integrate with dozens of inboxes many times using aliases and most of the time Gorgias was able to help.

    • 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

    Cons
    Gorgias
    • Rules are powerful, but clunky, showing them to others can put them off as it looks "easy to break" because of their messy nature.
    • Pricing seems to be increasing due to the inclusion of more advanced AI that currently does not provide value.
    • Macros could really use contextual support, or a hotkey system to make it easier to pick highly used ones that aren't in the top 3.

    • 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.

    Gorgias is still by far most the most complete customer service tool to handle multiple responses and channels at a single umbrella without the needs of opening multiple tabs and sometimes will even make us missed some messages what supposed to be taken care of at a timely manner

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    • Drastically reduced our response time from 2 business days, to 2 hours on average.
    • Made it easier to sync data for damaged item, allowing us to better understand damages.
    • Allowed us to easily see that statistics of what kind of issues we are seeing from our customers.

    • 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.
