Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.

Zoho Desk is easily a winner for trouble ticket handling as Bitrix24 was not offering any dedicated trouble ticketing tool and we had no option but to use the Tasks section of Bitrix24 to handle our existing customers. Also Bitrix24 neither did have any dedicated mobile application for on the go usage which Zoho Desk has easily handled with applications for both Android and IOS devices.

Zoho Desk is always good at building different platforms for automation, so this one is also the best help desk platform available in the market. I can easily add the feedback with a report to easily convey the message accordingly. It can easily integrate with your existing softwares. It easily gets along with other software that I was already using in the organization.

Zoho Desk has an interface that is extremely simple and practical to use, for even clients who are not skilled. Again, Zoho Desk has no lead time, when customers air their views or complaints. Finally, Zoho Desk works/integrates effectively with several other products for business efficiency, even from the other external vendors.

  • BMC Helix ITSM (Remedy) and Atlassian JIRA Align (formerly AgileCraft)
Over the years I have used a few different support software applications. One being Remedy software. That was pretty nice, but they lacked an isp version. I am currently a user of Atlassian JIRA and am not a big fan at this point. It is very cumbersome to use.

The quality of support provided by Zoho Desk is brilliant. Ease of setup is a very easy process. Also it meets all the requirements that can be expected from such kind of software. Zoho Desk is a company that can be easy to do business with. It is really headed in the right direction.

Zoho [Desk] has much more quality of the information we required for our business than Freshdesk.
It was also easy to work with Zohos different modules albeit based on department specific products than it was when we used Freshdesk.
The Project management module was a particular module that we needed for out business that Freshdesk did not seem to have at the time we switched.

• In the acquisition of Zoho Desk I did not have the final decision but I have contributed as my analysis in the implementation. We decided to switch services since this tool is much more complete in terms of functionalities that help us to easily resolve and follow up on our customers' problems.

Value for money simply beats the rest. Also, as part of the Zoho Suite, integrations are wonderful, for example to CRM or consolidating Reporting with other apps such as Zoho Projects. Integration to advanced Analytics is also very helpful. In terms of features, they are pretty complete. Easy to train and use.

Atera had a lot of features. You could install an agent to monitor updates, and you could deploy AV. Zoho Desk was easier to go through tickets and replies. It felt like Atera had more features, so it was slower. At times you would want to search for an old ticket in Atera, and it was incredibly difficult. Zoho Desk was much faster, even though there wasn’t much of a filter to use.

Zoho Desk comes at a better price, and it offers integration with other Zoho applications so you can keep your information in a single place. Their support is good and will guide you through many things. Also their API is similar to other Zoho platforms, so employees can already be familiar with the technology

Their mobile app lets you work from any place and be informed about organization's tasks and communications.

Zoho Desk is easy to set up for small business needs, and its dashboard is well-suited for our organization's needs. We are on a social network, which also helps us to get users' and applicants' queries through the social platform.
Another factor to start with it is its trial period, which helps us to explore the platform before making a decision to purchase.
