We use Zendesk for chat from our website. Using their rules, we route customers to the appropriate department. This allows our customers an additional way to get in touch with us. Many of our customers are switching from phone calls to digital methods to communicate with our company.
  • Routes customers effectively
  • Instantaneous communications
  • Remembers users after first visit
  • Setting up rules was not as easy as it could be
While it is a little more expensive than its competitors, it offers all of the bells and whistles for one price. We have tried other solutions but ultimately came back to Zendesk Chat.
  • We have generated leads from chat
  • Offers an additional method for customers to request service calls
Overall, the most dependable chat platform and the best value.
I've only requested service once, and my issue was resolved in the first conversation.

When we first started using Zendesk Chat, we incorporated it to our main website to provide prospects who land on our page the option to chat with us in case they did not want to call or submit a form. It helped us create a new channel of communication for prospects, so being able to immediately talk to them has helped with sales.
  • Ease of implementation
  • Helps with sales and communication with leads
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Pricing can get hefty.
  • Tweaking of appearance and auto message
  • Some competitors offer services for free.
If you are a very small business or freelancer, Zendesk Chat might not be the best option for you because if you want more features you will have to pay. Just go with Facebook messenger since it's free. If you are a bigger business and can afford it, then, go for it. Also if you don't feel like you can handle too many tasks at once because you don't have the help, do not overwhelm yourself with chat.
  • Another avenue of communication for prospects
  • Assist with deaf community
  • Helps you look like you're up to date with technology
I have found other affordable options that provide some of the features they do, and since I am a small business staying within budget is very important. So, if we are not losing anything by making the switch, then we will.

Zendesk Chat is currently being used by our Customer Service department only. However, we are looking to expand this use to other departments to work directly with our independent contractors. It's been a great tool for our company to connect directly and more efficiently with our customers. Easy and quick service!
  • Zendesk allows to use macros for commonly asked questions.
  • Quick and easy service for our customers.
  • The alert sound that happens when a chat is coming through is pretty obnoxious.
In our organization, we eliminated email as a channel of communication for our customers, which made phones and live chat that much more important to focus on and keep up with. Zendesk chat makes doing that easy for not only our agents, but also our customer base.
  • Our company's retention rate has improved by 27% since starting Zendesk Chat, due to quicker response times and real-time opportunities to save people from canceling and incentivizing them to stay loyal to our brand.
  • Our agents are happy because adding chat as one of our communication channels breaks the monotony of back to back phone calls. We have also seen a decrease in employee turnover.
Getting assistance and/or troubleshooting anything with Zendesk can be quite frustrating. In my years of experience with Zednesk, I have almost never found the answer to my question without going through multiple articles, ultimately getting frustrated and reaching out to our contact for more assistance. So for a consumer, the support is not as relieving as Zendesk Chat is to our customers in getting the questions answered by us.
