Zoho Desk is easily a winner for trouble ticket handling as Bitrix24 was not offering any dedicated trouble ticketing tool and we had no option but to use the Tasks section of Bitrix24 to handle our existing customers. Also Bitrix24 neither did have any dedicated mobile …

Over the years I have used a few different support software applications. One being Remedy software. That was pretty nice, but they lacked an isp version. I am currently a user of Atlassian JIRA and am not a big fan at this point. It is very cumbersome to use.
Chose Zoho Desk
After trialing and using Zoho Desk, we decided to move onto another product. Zoho has many features that make it a great product, but ease and intuitiveness of use was lacking for us.
Chose Zoho Desk
We evaluated products that were not free, but due to budget reasons we could not justify a purchase. So this free solution stacks up among the best in my opinion for no cost.
Chose Zoho Desk
The quality of support provided by Zoho Desk is brilliant. Ease of setup is a very easy process. Also it meets all the requirements that can be expected from such kind of software. Zoho Desk is a company that can be easy to do business with. It is really headed in the right …
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho [Desk] has much more quality of the information we required for our business than Freshdesk.
It was also easy to work with Zohos different modules albeit based on department specific products than it was when we used Freshdesk.
The Project management module was a …

• In the acquisition of Zoho Desk I did not have the final decision but I have contributed as my analysis in the implementation. We decided to switch services since this tool is much more complete in terms of functionalities that help us to easily resolve and follow up on our …

Value for money simply beats the rest. Also, as part of the Zoho Suite, integrations are wonderful, for example to CRM or consolidating Reporting with other apps such as Zoho Projects. Integration to advanced Analytics is also very helpful. In terms of features, they are pretty …
Chose Zoho Desk
Atera had a lot of features. You could install an agent to monitor updates, and you could deploy AV. Zoho Desk was easier to go through tickets and replies. It felt like Atera had more features, so it was slower. At times you would want to search for an old ticket in Atera, and …

The user friendly android and IOS applications are one of the best features of Zoho Desk although if you are expecting a Desktop application then you will be disappointed and will have to access it from your browser which can be slow sometimes, depending on your internet connection. The work flow of tickets submission either manually through the dashboard or mobile application, and tickets assignment to other agents along with tracking tickets and agents' performance is very easily executed with no issues being faced.

Cons
Zoho
  • When utilizing as a ticketing system, it would be nice to have a better way to monitor when something is due. It's just a little cumbersome.
  • Search Functionality - The search functionality could use a tweak or two. Too many times I am unable to find tickets. This would also be very helpful for the "Recycle Bin" when you just need to find that ticket you accidentally deleted (we are all human!). :)

Usability
Zoho
At times Zoho [Desk] can be a bit glitchy. It does not auto refresh on the ticketing system, and even f it tells you there is a new ticket clicking it does nothing and you need to refresh the page for it to work. We have found at times that is can become unresponsive, although this usually doesn't last for longer than 15-30 mins.

We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.
