Zendesk is used to manage customer-reported tickets -- bugs/issues, feature requests, questions, and tasks -- it serves as the connection between our customers and our support team and allows for internal collaboration that is both customer-facing and internal or private. We also use it for cross-functional communication to bridge to our engineering ticketing system, as well as our feature request system.
- Collaboration
- Email Updates to customers.
- Custom views.
- The custom views cannot be exported to another user, which would be nice for shared accounts instead of recreating them.
- Sometimes, responding to an email is logged as an internal comment when it is meant to be customer-facing.
- Dashboards summarizing tickets.
- Integrations (Aha, Jira, Email).
- Customer communication.
- Ticket tracking by status and date.

- Besides our actual application, Zendesk is quite literally the most customer-facing application for our business. Customers feel engaged and have transparency.
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.

Primarily customer support staff, but it is also used by pre-sales and customer success -- sales, too, but to a much lesser degree and more for monitoring tangentially

Pretty well -- I definitely prefer the web interface, but I have made use of my phone for zendesk. It makes searching harder though.
We are using Zendesk Support for over 30 clients. We have set up our Zendesk Support using Brands in exchange for different Zendesk accounts. By using Brands it is ideal to have all of our clients in one central location. We have access to our customer's emails as well as any emails asked from the client or project manager in one easy location. We do have problems with some reporting because each Brand is focusing on different functions, but the Zendesk Support team is extremely helpful and any problems we have we are able to work out. Using Zendesk Support Suite has been a game-changer for our customer experience team.
- Multiple Brands
- Different categories for each Brand
- Ticket sharing for specific Brands
- Specific access level for agents and specific Brands
- Ticket sharing routing to a specific Brand instead of the one landing point.
- Ticket sharing changing status when receiving a reply from the assignee.
- Slight delay when setting a ticket to a specific status.
- Multiple Brands
- Ticket Category
- Multiple agent access levels

- Able to add multiple functions for one client in one platform (email, chat, SMS).
- Expensive for clients joining suites with us instead of signing up for a $19 service themselves.
- Time management at its finest everything in one portal.
While using Desk.com we were only able to use one client per account. We migrated over to Zendesk Suites so we could have an unlimited amount of clients in one portal. This has been a game-changer for our company. While Desk.com had great reporting and capabilities for tags, categories, etc, it didn't meet our expectations because we were not able to have more than one account in the same portal.

We have agents and supervisors as well as project managers working in Zendesk Support Suite. We use Suite for helping customers, clients, and general communication within the company. We have been able to streamline all of our communication and provide a better customer experience. In addition to providing a better customer experience, we are saving money by using one platform for all of our communication.

The most important factors for us to purchase Zendesk Support Suite was the ability to use multiple brands in one platform.
We would not change a single thing in our selection process. We made the perfect decision for our company needs.
- Implemented in-house
Yes
We started with adding agents then adding brands. We added one brand at a time and got everything secure and tight before adding the next brand.
- Setting up specific credentials for agents
- Creating categories for different brands
- Integrating specific apps for specific brands
We purchased premium support because we want to make sure we are getting as many uses out of Zendesk Support Suite as possible. If we think of something we would like to have, we reach out to support and our request is always granted.
No
Zendesk provides exceptional support every time we reach out to them. We never ask for anything easy, if we want to see a change or push the platform to its limits, we are given the time needed for our ask.
- Creating a new brand
- Importing new email addresses
- Social media and other app integration
- Categories for specific brands
- Reporting for tags

Yes, but I don't use it
