Zendesk Guide is Your New Guide
Zendesk Guide is utilized to interact with customer queries and concern. The application greatly helps us to monitor and log each ticket that is handled. It provides a detailed log of the interaction, as well as the agent assigned to that ticket.
Zendesk [Guide] also allows for easy interaction between the Customer Care Department. As tickets that cannot be easily resolved can be escalated to relevant support teams such as Technical Support. I would recommend this software for any small or large scale telecommunications company.

- Logs all ticket details
- Monitors ever customer interaction
- Easy to learn and maneuver
- I would say there are times when the Zendesk application does not sync well with other software
In my requirement I used 3 features of Zendesk Guide mainly knowledge base /tickets, agents and reporting. These help us to speed up the process [and] to enhance customer experience. Reporting is very informative in thru sense. We can scheduled it and format template is very user friendly.
- Knowledge base.
- Tickets and agents.
- Reporting.
- Some improvement needed to reviewing articles, as we can't do the reviews in the same place where we write and publish the article.
- Central KBs need to support version history, which some time lacks to give track of multiple review.
In our company, we use Zendesk Guide as our knowledge base platform across all departments. Each department will have its own Zendesk Guide Category in which employees can refer to when they have questions regarding the department. We use Zendesk Guide because we want to encourage self-service employee behavior. Instead of asking the responsible team immediately when they have questions, we want to encourage them to find an answer on their own first on our Zendesk Guide platform to both reduce the requester wait time when asking question as well as the requirement to hire a headcount for answering questions that are answerable by articles on Zendesk Guide.
- Zendesk Guide allows content creator and admin to set article visibility permission.
- Zendesk Guide allows content creator and admin to set article manageable permission.
- Zendesk Guide allows admin to create security segment using employee tags that can be derived from other HRM platforms such as Workday.
- Zendesk Guide uses an interface that is simple and easy-to-understand for both admin, content creator, and end-user.
- In the past, individual users cannot be add to security segment on Zendesk Guide, but now, Zendesk has fixed this issue.
- There are not much customizable permission for admin. For example, there is only an option to select whether this user will be a Guide Admin or not. If they are, they can do everything, and if unchecked, they are just an end-user.
- Certain data on Zendesk Guide cannot be pulled on Zendesk Explore. Therefore, our company has to create a dashboard on Tableau to capture the data.

Self Serving made Simple
Technically it is being used by a department, yet it's also customer facing so our customers get the chance to use our help guide also. It benefits our internal reps as well as our external customers.
- It allows users to be self-reliant and more independent.
- Our managers are able to focus on higher value work because their agents can support themselves with getting their questions answered.
- Formatting can be tricky from time to time.

Zoho Guide -- it works
We use a guide to provide support documentation for our customers, segmented by organization.
- Segmentation.
- Article management.
- Setup needs to be thought of from implementation.
- Filtering is finicky.
They're prompt and thorough when asked.
