Jira is much more pricey but more complete. It integrates with our Scrum Board and Agile Software Development platform. So we can much more easily turn Tickets into User Stories, and our techs and devs only have to live in one software platform instead of having to switch between multiple and copy and paste so much.

- Spiceworks and Zendesk
Kayako is way more scalable than Spiceworks' helpdesk offering. We had trouble visualizing our current layout within their environment.
Zendesk was priced quite a bit higher than Kayako while offering similar functionality. It didn't make sense to want to migrate to a new platform.
We have also evaluated various Sharepoint-based help desks, but their speed and reliability did not match our standards for what a help desk should be.

Kayako is great, but maybe not for the larger enterprise organization.

Kayako is a great tool for the service industry. I think it is better suited for businesses that do 1-off interactions rather than using it to manage and maintain a larger repeat customer base. This was just our opinion based on the industry we are in. We are in the hosting industry and IaaS and SaaS industry and we usually have multiple contacts for each organization. Kayako also does not easily interract with any CSM tools you may use so keeping up with user accounts is pretty impossible.

We were using Spiceworks for a few years before switching to Kayako but found that it wasn't as customizable or as user friendly for our customers. The SNMP scanning and inventory features with Spiceworks was nice but we needed more of a Help Desk that would allow us to scale our services to more companies.
