Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Zoho desk as our main ticketing system. We utilize a home grown ticketing system in our ERP and Zoho desk. We plan to consolidate to Zoho once we are ready to go. This platform captures everything we need, provides insights via KPIs and other relevant information for the end user and the technician that gets tickets assigned. We use the reporting all the time to see where the team is at. As a team, we can review all tickets together and improve.

Pros

  • Captures email and converts into tickets
  • Reporting
  • support
  • Ticket tracking

Cons

  • separating departments tickets
  • spam control
  • intuitive report searching.

Likelihood to Recommend

Tracking of tickets has been great. There are times when some spam passes through and becomes a ticket, but it is easy to delete those. My company is very much into LEAN, and likes to see reports to see our progress as a team. The reports provided give good information for these presentations

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zoho Desk for Ticketing. This has solved the problem of missing customer requests. The scope of use for us, or the flow in which Zoho Desk assists is:

Automated Acknowledgement Email to customer with a ticket number and greeting

Automated Assignment of Agent

Timer Started

SLA Timer Started

Pros

  • Automated Ticket Acknowledgement to Customer
  • Grouping of Data of Customer
  • organises ticket data into one pane of glass
  • Attaches files to case

Cons

  • It could do with a few pre populated email templates
  • Allow remote connections direct to Manage Engine Endpoint Central
  • Have a customer chat feature

Likelihood to Recommend

For an IT support Business, Zoho Desk is amazing. Zoho Desk automates many processes that allows us to respond quicker, free up repetitive tasks time and also time against or SLA agreements to ensure we don't breach.

I can't tell you where it's less appropriate as so far we have had good success with using Zoho desk

Zoho Desk is great as a customer support platform

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zoho Desk primarily to manage our customer support and support tickets from a customer, we have a link on our website that automatically enters the ticket into Zoho Desk & a workflow set up to assign the ticket for a group for each specific sales office based on the originating country of the ticket. From there a support agent from the correlating office can respond to the ticket or assign it to another user as necessary.

Pros

  • Scheduled reports for Specific customers
  • Organizing data by customer and the customer can respond to a Zoho Desk ticket by email and the response will automatically be entered into the related ticket on our desk platform

Cons

  • The Zoho Desk community forum could use more options. If our customers could post questions or create a new topic on the forum we created we would be more apt to use it
  • When a new contact or account is added to Zoho Desk it automatically assigns the account owner to our Zoho Admin, with no sales office even when a sales office specific support agent controls the ticket and a sales office is specified on the ticket - so more thorough data transfer into the CRM would be an improvement.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zoho desk is well suited for anyone wishing to use it as their primary support platform in association with a company website if there is dedicated support personnel within the company. I would say that Zoho desk would be less appropriate for retail based customers as a platform to write reviews on products received.

Functional Service Desk Offering

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a small company, we needed a Service Desk that offered good standard features, that allowed us the ability to customize where we needed to and presented an opportunity for the company to grow its use internally over time. It was our first real Service Desk product and has allowed us to offer better service to our customers, as well as giving us the ability to report on and view our capabilities and delivery against SLAs.

Pros

  • Browser-based
  • Cross-platform support and functionality
  • Customizable

Cons

  • It regularly experiences slow performance
  • The interface could be designed better
  • Customization can be a bit rigid and not as open as some platforms

Likelihood to Recommend

As a SaaS offering it delivers on the cross-platform accessibility front quite well. Any Cloud service means it can be consumed from anywhere, giving a business the agility it needs to employ staff from no set geographic location, as well as allowing work-from-anywhere scenarios. The interface is okay to use but could be better, but in terms of basic functionality that you'd expect a service desk to deliver it does that quite well.

Handle your trouble tickets and customer queries like a pro with Zoho Desk

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have integrated Zoho Desk with our web application to be able to have our existing customers submit tickets with screenshots and description of the problem being faced or for any general query of any feature. It is being used by the customer success and development teams currently and through Zoho Desk, we have been able to track all requests/issues by the existing customers as well getting them resolved or answered in the shortest possible time.

Pros

  • It provides a simple widget code with a few clicks once you decide to integrate it with your website or application.
  • There is a very user friendly dedicated mobile application for Zoho Desk for Android and IOS devices.
  • You can easily track all of your tickets and agents from the dashboard interface.
  • You can insert tags with each ticket to group them into specific categories for analysis and troubleshooting.

Cons

  • There is no Desktop application for Zoho Desk which is a crucial missing feature.
  • The shortcut icon for Recent items could have been placed better, maybe in the top header menu instead of in the footer.
  • The footer menu needs bigger icons as some are unrecognizable on smaller size monitors.

Likelihood to Recommend

The user friendly android and IOS applications are one of the best features of Zoho Desk although if you are expecting a Desktop application then you will be disappointed and will have to access it from your browser which can be slow sometimes, depending on your internet connection. The work flow of tickets submission either manually through the dashboard or mobile application, and tickets assignment to other agents along with tracking tickets and agents' performance is very easily executed with no issues being faced.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zoho Desk is one of the best platforms available for creating customizable support experiences for customers in the marketplace. It has all the best features of prioritizing requests, managing the requests, and closing more increasing requests on a different platform linked to the business. I have been a user of Zoho Desk for a long time and am still using the platform for better managing customer support and improving the overall efficiency of the customer team effectively.

  • [I feel] its customer support needs improvement.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zoho Desk is helping me a lot in managing the customer support along with the customer support team effectively. Clear and clean dashboard with robust UI helping me to be more productive at work. Support and ticketing need to be updated in the near future. Other than that, it is a great platform to have in the organization and I would recommend this to other businesses too.

ZoHo Desk - Great tool for the price

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we utilize Zoho Desk for our IT department. Zoho [Desk] is used to keep track of issues either reported internally, or from our external customers through a support email address we assign within Zoho. There are many features including time tracking, workflows (automated), and customizations. There are also macro's that can be built for auto assignment based on many available fields within the generated ticket.

Pros

  • Macros - These are great ! You can auto assign based on many different criteria. Easy to build as well.
  • Customization - Easy to build customizations at your fingertips. It helps when you need just a little bit more information to perform the tasks at hand.

Cons

  • When utilizing as a ticketing system, it would be nice to have a better way to monitor when something is due. It's just a little cumbersome.
  • Search Functionality - The search functionality could use a tweak or two. Too many times I am unable to find tickets. This would also be very helpful for the "Recycle Bin" when you just need to find that ticket you accidentally deleted (we are all human!). :)

Likelihood to Recommend

[Zoho Desk] is well suited for support as well as maintenance and new projects.

When utilized for support, the ticketing portion works well. It's not an "over achiever". You get what you want and can either keep the fluff, or remove it based on your needs. You can even customize what you see on the screen. With the workflow, you can view all work queues and easily tweak them.
