In comparison of tracking tickets, I found Jira to be more confusing than Zendesk. I have not used Jira in many years and I know that others in our organization use Jira in addition to Zendesk. Of all the support platforms, I think Zendesk is the best and most used, which is helpful for creating a consistent interface when people outside of our organization contact our Zendesk users.

Zendesk is a customer support tool that offers the best features, is intuitive, dynamic and easy to use. Allows the use of macros to optimize messages to customers. This platform makes it possible to optimize and organize the services we offer to our customers, which are increasingly productive.

Zendesk is more established than these two companies and provides a more robust solution for multi-channel support. Intercom is better suited for chat support and Freshdesk doesn't offer as many features and Zendesk does.

Zendesk is a good software. It's not perfect but it can be just what a company needs contingent on how they use it and take advantage of what it has to offer. As with anything, the tools are there, it's up to the company to capitalize on its resources to make a better customer experience.

Zendesk is far superior because it can cater to any size company. Also, regardless of which package you purchase, you get to set up a multi-channel and extensive self-service support, which was very beneficial for us. Finally, the self-service portal hosts a rich knowledge base and online communities for FAQ searches, allowing us to not need to constantly contact customer support with a question.

Zendesk is currently on par with both of these services in that they are great ticketing software programs but are light in Contact/Sales management. The autoresponder with Zendesk is much easier to implement and customize compared to the other options. The option of the mobile application is a bonus that many of its competitors do not support.

We used Freshdesk when it was a relatively new product. We switched to Zendesk later to take advantage of better user management, easier interface and user experience, better reporting tools and to align ourselves with a recognised brand.

We use Intercom to engage with customers, however have decided not to use it as our support desk as Zendesk has better ticket prioritisation tools and reporting. However we would consider moving to Intercom if they improved their support desk offering so that our team only had to use one system.

There is no comparison between SysAid and Zendesk. They occupy the same space in terms of what function they serve, but they could not be more different in terms of usability. SysAid does not allow you to use the back button in any browser, but instead forces you to use the UI controls or else risk breaking your view and having to restart. While SysAid does have some light project management features, it is ultimately not as user-friendly as Zendesk is across the board, whether those users are end-users or administrators.

At Onshape we have used this from the start but personally I have used a number of tools that were much more a part of the CRM packages like Sage and Zoho CRM and both are lacking in the API, User interface customization and tools that you can integrate. Other systems like Desk and even JIRA Service Desk are more focused on ticketing but the power of integrations with partner applications and services are simply unmatched. If your company has many other systems, some of which may or may not be on the list of integrations, the best part is the API is there as a powerful way to build your systems to talk.

We have used HelpSpot for several years prior to the transition to Zendesk. Our biggest gripe was the cost and limitations on what kind of communication channels could be integrated into HelpSpot. Zendesk allows us to have multiple communication channels even for the most basic users and to build on it. With a few changes to the overall system (like better social media support for attachments etc) and inbox enhancements, it can be great.

Zendesk was the best of the bunch and allowed us the best value for what we were looking for. It allowed us to import data from our other ticketing system and was very user friendly when it came to ticket and email integration. We also were able to setup on our website where people could put in a problem and it would open a ticket for us.

JIRA Service Desk is better suited if you need to connect with company's JIRA and internal WIKI (or Confluence).
If you do use JIRA (which many companies do), JIRA Service Desk is a better choice.
I didn't select Zendesk, but rather got it when joine dthe company.

In my own personal business, I have used Zoho Desk over Zendesk since it is a part of their Zoho One suite of products and it has a tight integration with their CRM. But for larger businesses that can throw some support towards the integrations and want an industry-leading solution Zendesk is definitely something to look at. But Zoho Desk is definitely a contender that small to medium business should consider.

Zendesk is by far the superior product here. There is no other ticketing system that is as robust or effective as Zendesk. It is so easy to use and intuitive. Simple and easy to set up and get running for your organization in no time. If you need a ticketing system you must go with Zendesk.
