We use Zendesk to route all customer communications to relevant CSMs, deployment team members, and the finance department. The communications range anywhere from simple support requests to managing client expansions and upsells. We rely heavily on cross team collaboration to ensure we are providing the best service possible to customers by removing barriers to communication both externally and internally. Zendesk is a great tool to helping us achieve and maintain these goals.

On a given regular basis, Zendesk is mainly used in our organization as our main communication tool for support agents and customers catering to the most integrated channels at the moment: email, chat, and social media. We wanted a tool that eliminates working in silo and consolidates all inquiries onto 1 platform hence Zendesk was selected.

We used to have all customer conversations- tickets there, all their issues would come on in order of arrival for us to self-signing the tickets for each one and resolve it as we go. The latest reports will always show up at the very top of the page and the older one at the very end of the pages, depending on the amount of tickets the number of pages would change.

The company I work for is [...}, we are a SaaS company that offers a trading platform for other Companies to manage their individual employee stock options/equity compensation plans. Our clients are big organizations and the employees of those plans are considered to be participants of the employee stock plan. We currently use Zendesk to communicate with the client's stock plan admin as well as participants of the stock plan. Most of what I deal with are participants who have questions and inquiries related to their personal accounts such as account statements, password resets, questions about current status of their funds.

Zendesk Support Suite is used as our main tool for handling customer support enquiries. We also utilise Zendesk Guide as our public-facing Knowledge Base to allow customers to self-help before contacting our team.

We have also implemented the Zendesk Widget within our app to allow customers access to the guides and to our support form without needing to leave our app.

Due to the initial set up of using Tags for reporting, there was a lack of helpful and timely reporting, lack of dashboards for key management to stay in loop. Once we created the needed custom fields, reporting and dashboards were set up to aid the various teams, managers and executives so they can more quickly identify top product or software issues to resolve.

Zendesk Suite is THE go to platform to manage the relationship with each and every customer. (Externally and internally). We used it to document each interaction, efficiently organize our support strategy and set everyone up for success all at the same time. Once you got the swing of things, it was provided away to minimize the opportunity for error when it came to support cases, equipment orders and detailed customer relationship management. Typical use included identifying each customer, being able to view their history, utilizing compatibility between other mission critical platforms (Shopify, Dialpad, Asana...) to make for a seamless experience for all customers (external and internal again).

ZSS allows my team and I to effectively connect with clients, while keeping all correspondence for that person in an easy-to-access file. We use call, SMS, and email for all of our clients so it's super important that we have a reliable system to do that from. It also addresses the ability to effectively store and organize correspondence.

We use zendesk as a way to communicate any internal issues we are having with our IT, HR, etc. it’s really a centralized way for us to have these issues resolved. I use it mostly for any specific requests for computer issues, equipment replacement and HR questions around leave of absence, loans, and more

We use it for our ticketing system. This allows organization of our ongoing issues, and an easy way to divide the tickets into separate departments. From there users can see current issues from our clients, update the tickets as needed, or even call to the client through Zendesk with high quality audio.

We use Zendesk as out main source of support for our company. the problem that zendesk support adresses for our company is a one stop place to find information about our clients and a single place for us to help them with any trouble they may be having. we can find their personal information that we have collected and any all previous interactions.

We use Zendesk Support Suite as our platform for end user-facing support and servicing. That includes incoming and outgoing emails, phone calls, as well as a knowledge base. It was really important to be able to link various methods of communication to the specific end user, which Zendesk allows us to do without much of a hassle!

Suite allows us a full view of the consumer experience and yields actionable dashboard reports to aid our marketing, sales, product, operation, and quality assurance teams. It's easy to set up and evolve over time as business needs change. Zendesk Support is timely and helpful when we have any system admin questions or issues.

We used Zendesk primarily to receive, work and follow up with customer's tickets. Zendesk helped our organization manage customer inquiries very efficiently in a fast-paced environment. Customer Satisfaction Surveys were a big plus because they allowed us to see where our team needed to improve. Lots of configuration was required to get it running perfectly, but in the end, it was worth it.

Zendesk allows our customers to efficiently submit support requests both from our web-based cloud portal and our mobile app. Our support agents can quickly respond to inquiries and view ticket history to better understand the context of an issue. It has been critical that we are able to embed this into our apps as a support channel.

Zendesk is our tool to centralize all the requests coming from clients. These could be tickets about features not working, removed, added, request for help, or even feature requests. The tickets are essential also for the Customer Success team to figure out the level of client satisfaction, to be discussed during the QBRs.

We use it for several ways, to support real estate agents across the US by utilizing Zendesk via email, chat, and voice. We employ the usual ticketing system to answer and address issues submitted by real estate agents. It is also handy as a real-time chat application where they can easily send messages to us by using the CRM platform.

We use Zendesk support to run the front line support requets, triage tickets and manage our customers/users day to day support and bug reporting. At Rex we are a CRM system for Real Estate agents so have a wide range of inbound contacts that ranages from 'where do I find this PDF file' to 'my system is down and I am needing to handle the transfer of $5mil today'.
this prioritisation is the the primary problem/biz case it addresses.

I use Zendesk Support Suite to track missed calls and solve customer's issues. It helps track all missed calls and unresolved customer problems within our team. This is useful because it allows us to allocate issues and resolve them without doubling up on work between our team members and helps avoid confusion.

We have been users of Zendesk for more than 7 years. We use it to chat with our customers (B to C), process tickets, and calls, as well as our Help Center base. Our Support serves up to 7 000 chats and 1000 emails daily in a variety of languages.

Since I work in IT on the support side, we use this regularly as a support communication tool. It's also used for new hire record-keeping setups. You can attach any file [to] the platform. Very incredible search feature by keywords that do not need to be in series order. This tool helps organize and specifically record keeps for sox compliance.

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.

Terrible. Runaway as fast as you can. This company is a scam. They provide terrible support, charge an outrageous prices, and hold your data hostage when trying to leave. Even generating a CSV requires talking to support, for which they will give you instructions on how to do it that don't work. Such a joke, worst experience ever. There are many many better solutions out there. Sad. I bet this company will be in the news soon as fraudsters.
