TrustRadius takes an objective look at the pricing plans, marketed top features as well as what users consider to be the best features and limitations.
We are using Zendesk Support Suite throughout all of our departments that are customer facing. We have everyone from entry level agents to CEO of the company using Zendesk Support Suite. We are using Support Suite for all of our communication with our clients and customers. It provides an amazing experience for all involved.
I run our support team and all the tools that we provide to our users and our agents around support. The system was easy to configure to fit our business and it is easy to expand to allow for bringing in other departments when there is a need for them to communicate with users. In addition to this, the best part is the ability to build automation that talks to Zendesk via the API and a number of ways for Zendesk to automate downstream based on triggers. Knowing that no matter the situation, Zendesk can be expanded to fit the need allows me to focus on users and not the system we use. Most skills required are all in the UI and then if you want to develop, Rest API skills and Javascript are helpful.
Since ZenDesk is cloud based solution, we spend zero time managing or supporting the software itself. If we have a problem, we just submit a ticket to ZenDesk support or read their support forums (which are highly helpful)!
Patience is the most important. You need to think about what you want to do and hopefully the platform can do this. Generally that is the case, but always requires a bit of research. I have incorporated MACROS, added new categories and email forward. Each of these took of time to complete.
No IT support is really required. Sometimes the Salesforce.com integration requires a little support. I along with our lead support person do a lot of configuration adjustments to make process improvements. We probably do several each week. Maybe altogether we spend 0.2-0.25 FTE in administration.
