Mainly falls on familiarity as I have been using Zendesk for more than 10 years now. The timeline was a bit strict during deployment quarters hence we have decided to go with the less friction software to be deployed. Additionally, Zendesk on agent's view is user-friendly which cuts the training time in half.

We were looking for a very easy-to-understand platform so that our agents could only focus on helping customers more than learning how to use their systems. It basically was exactly what Zendesk meant to us, I am really glad we used that system.

If spoken honestly Intercom is a level-par with any nearest competitor, Tools like Zendesk has to catchup with them in speed. However, there is an advantage to Zendesk with its simple and easy-to-get software which falls in every mid and small-size business pocket wherein Intercom is way too expensive and needs a tech admin to customize the product.
The kick-starting feature with negligible configuration made Zendesk the ideal choice of our organization + the budget fell under our expenses.

I used Salesforce for opening and tracking customer support requests at another company. The key advantage Zendesk has over Salesforce is that Zendesk is designed specifically for customer support management and it's easy to get started right out of the box.

Zendesk is the industry leader in terms of the number of other platforms you can connect it with (CRM's, Customer Success Tools, Billing Tools, etc)—this makes it extremely sticky and a core part of your workflow. Zendesk also offers a variety of channels all in the one product, which the other competitors seem to struggle with.

Overall, the ease of system admin that is done within the Support team, the reasonable license cost for multi-channel support and ability to create custom brand dashboards and needed reports, along with the helpful client support we get- made it an easy decision to purchase and stay with Zendesk.

In my experience, I prefer Zendesk Support Suite over Salesforce. I feel that it's much more user friendly across the board. My biggest complaint is the user navigation frustrations that I run into with Salesforce. I feel like Zendesk Support Suite is much more intuitive on just about every angle. Especially when it comes to any of the defaults on dropdown menus. Zendesk Support Suite nails it on that one.

Salesforce is far more established but the price tag was too high for our small team. I would be surprised if we didn’t migrate to Salesforce when our team reaches a certain size

Zendesk has been easy to implement and evolve over time. They have launched more online Client learning sessions and occasionally offer in-person local client group sessions to aid in our learning. They offer their training modules for free. The key is we can create the needed brands, brand experience, and related reporting/dashboards to aid our teams. The best decision was to launch Zendesk years ago and stay with them as they evolve.

Although a bit pricey, it does the job well. We are happy with the results it provides; our team is also quite satisfied on how easy it is to use, login and start working. Compared to the other two we have tried, Zendesk takes the cake. It makes Customer Management much easier, more efficient, and more effective.

Hubspot cannot integrate directly via SDK into mobile apps or web apps. hubspot has other nice features but their service offering lacks some of the most important elements for us.Zendesk allows our customers to efficiently submit support requests both from our web-based cloud portal and our mobile app.

Zendesk support is your one-stop shop for managing customers via the customer support portal that has a slew of products available for use via several channels, depending on your particular need may it be email messaging, chat messaging, or voice, and it is quite superior compared to the other apps which do not have the flexibility available to stack up against especially when it comes to reporting features.

  • Intercom
Zendesk has much more functionality on the canned responses so the team saves time in selecting the repeated small issues and reduces the chance of error, or the team member frankly getting bored.
Secondary the tickets system is far superior to Intercom especially how it keeps the client updated automatically on the tickets updates saving the teams efforts.
I do feel Intercom has better user comms and behvaiour tracking functionality.

Zendesk Support Suite has a better visual way to organise different categories of tickets. It allows us to track missed calls, unresolved tickets and resolved tickets a lot better compared to Hubspot. I am just a user of Zendesk Support Suite but I assume that we selected Zendesk Support Suite because it allows our team to visually see which issues needs resolving and allows us to solve the issues by replying to the customer in one platform.

I started in the company with Zendesk Support Suite already, so experience with it was an easy learning curve. Freshservice is just as good as well. The GUI interface is friendly to look at and easy on the eyes. When you're in support and [staring] at the screen all day, literally eye comfort is very important.

I prefer Zendesk, though I find engineers are often in Jira. Zendesk is, in my opinion, far easier to navigate, but that might just be my personal preference and comfort with the application. Both maintain a history/record of who and what, but I think Zendesk is more intuitive, and I like that I can interface directly from the email with it.

Zendesk is an absolute joke. Do not be fooled by their account reps, you will not get support and unless you have someone on payroll dedicated to solely dealing with this janky platform, you will be pulling your hair out. Even then, they make even the most simple task complicated. Run away fast.

We used Zendesk Support Suite for adding Customer Community to increase customer engagement and decrease company support costs by decreasing customer support executives. Zendesk is a great platform for community development and information circulation. It offers a lot of predefined structures which help us to organize our categories+topics+posts in a proper structure.

Zendesk Support Suite might be pricey but the cost definitely outweighs numerous benefits. Other platforms focus solely on the customer but what our organization likes about Zendesk is that it not only aims to provide a great experience for the customer, it also keeps in view the actual agents working on the tickets. The design of the agent workspace is well thought out that agents spend less time looking for tickets to work on and instead can focus on resolving issues of the customers.

Servicenow is a very expensive ticket system, and Zendesk follows up better for price, simplicity, and configuration wise. We switched from ServiceNow because it does not deliver many opportunities for our business and employees. We really like using Zendesk for a daily driver, and it helps us get better customers.
