Plug and play!!

I gave it 10/10 because I like the feature of connecting applications from AppExchange where we have flexibility just like plug and play. Based on requirements we can integrate a number of applications and meet client requirements. Here we can skip involvement and development of some Integration applications like Mulesoft.

In terms of requesting for help regarding tool especially when you are new to the tool is not up to the mark. I personally believe that the customer support reflects how good you are and that is where Salesforce is lacking and need improvement. I believe that they make improvements in future

The support was average and was not that geart. They rarely addressed my organization's issues and we had to call them many times for even the slightest bit of a problem. The experience was not that great and I would not recommend buying the software unless you absolutely need its features or if you want to learn and are new to the industry.

Support was great! If there was ever an issue, it was resolved near immediately. There were a few bugs that we had to work out, but that was mainly due to the build of the categories of subcategories, but Desk.com got on the phone with us and we were able to work it out in minutes.

Most of the support I did I had to go to the Knowledge Base Forums to figure out, unless there was a overly complex issue. It would have been perfect but the system had to go through one round of Submit your Question... Here is a PDF Answer... No it didnt work... then you would get a knowledgeable tech who would be able to fix what was going on.

We are now using the full breadth of features that Desk.com and Salesforce Service Cloud offers, after comprehensive onboarding and training of our teams. Desk.com pulls all of our customer interactions across channels into an easy-to-digest and customized interface, which is now being utilized broadly across our customer support teams. We have thus been able to streamline customer conversations across multiple channels, which improves our rep productivity and mean time to resolution (MTTR).

Their support leaves much to be desired. They do not respond quickly and do not follow up with feature requests. There is also a lack of on-demand or live training available for the teams to use as they learn a new tool. Because there is so much customization, a lot of questions do come up regularly.

I always get the support and needed answers in a timely manner. Whether by email, ticket, or call. There's always a solution available or a potential one available. Everything is clear and straight to the point in customer support from Desk. I didn't face any difficulty so far with that.

We never really had to deal with support. I mean not me directly, but when we have problems with it IT is super quick in getting the problem handled most likely because of how easy the system works. Usually we only get refreshing problems if anything and they're fairly easy to fix.

I rarely had to use the support for Desk.com, but when I did, I was contacted quickly and the issue was resolved typically within one business day of when I or my team was having the said issue. I appreciate the quick responses and knowledge of the support staff at Desk.com.

It's a good solution for big companies I believe, but not that convenient for small companies or startups that would get more for their money using a chat oriented solution like Intercom.

The support team is prompt in resolving the queries and it's auto-tagging feature provides an edge. It's easy tracking feature saves pretty much of time and seamless in integrating with multiple platforms. The option to execute macros for simultaneous actions is a very useful feature where it reduces manual work and improves the efficiency of the process.

Desk.com - it does the job

For simple questions, their support is extremely responsive but for some more complicated topics it can drag for days. Also I reported bugs a couple of times and they told me it would be updated but that never happened. Also they are not reassigning tickets for agents that are on holiday so if you are unlucky you will need to wait for your agent to return from his vacation to get the assistance.

The few times I've had to deal with actual humans at Desk.com were quick and pleasant.

There is a huge amount of support resources available through Desk's "Support Center". Most of my support needs are addressed by what I can find there.
