First and foremost, we are able to send responses quicker. In the past, a team member had to go out every morning and share queries. That meant we would take almost 24 hours to respond. Now with Zendesk Sunshine, we had automated the conversations.
We mainly use Zendesk to improve our customer support experience ensuring the right people are involved in the right conversations while keeping everything integrated in our own business systems. This help our support team and customers get the right information in the right time. Zendesk has significantly reduced operating costs when onboarding new users and decreased our churn rate because of a better customer experience. It's easy to implement Finally, the support team is always kind and helpful.

We were able to reduce our monthly license cost in nearly 50% which is key on emerging markets and being a startup with a reliable solution that integrates with most of our internal systems. Support and documentation in spanish was also a key factor in our case as we are based in Latam and not all of our developers and team members are fluent in english.

Zendesk Sunshine Conversations (formerly Smooch) was much less expensive than Salesforce Service Cloud. Though the integration with our existing Salesforce would have been better and could have provided better analytics, our service hub for IT is not currently connected to our normal applications. In the future, it may be better to upgrade to Salesforce, however, this is a great solution for us as we grow our IT offerings.
We are using Zendesk Sunshine Conversations as a chatbot and integrating it with our portal to make communication easy for our website users. Zendesk implementation helped us easily answer the basic queries of users using chatbot this way we minimize the calls to our customer care representatives and save the effort and cost.
- Provide convenient service 24x7
- Lower the burden of employees and serve more users at a time
- Everything I found good, no improvement as of now
- Instant messaging
- Answer bot to automatically send email, chat, message on slack
- Overall I have great experience with Zendesk Sunshine Conversations
Zendesk Sunshine Conversations is very easy to implement and customize, as a developer I did the things quickly with the help of their official doc. Customer support of Zendesk Sunshine Conversations is also very good and their technical staffs are highly skilled to solve implementation issue instantly.
We have been users of Zendesk Sunshine Conversations (formerly Smooch) for tech support for more than 8 years, and when we found out that Zendesk Sunshine Conversations (formerly Smooch) was coming out with a formal messaging solution for WhatsApp and similar messaging services, we asked for a test drive. We have been using it for 3 months and it has helped us with our requirements as far as contacting users via text messages.
- WhatsApp Integration
- Support Tickets via Text
- Live chats
- Integration with ZenDesk
- Integration with Salesforce
- Usage Report Generation
- Support for special characters (ñ and accents)
- Better integration with exsiting tickets in ZenDesk
- Android App is lacking
- Support for mobile browsers
- Support for iOS devices
- ZenDesk Integration
- Live Messaging
- Productivity reports
- It will get better with time, the same thing happened with ZenDesk at the beginning
- Add another way of contacting our users
- Add more detail to our tech support tickets
- Offload some of the follow up requirements from the engineer to the coordinator
We tried it when it came out but it is not the type of platform that we require. We need integration into our existing tech support solution, and WhatsApp for Business did not have it. When ZenDesk came out with Conversations we tried it out and it did most of what we needed, so we moved to that.
