Overall Satisfaction with Zendesk Support Suite
Zendesk originated in my department as a solution for handling the increase in customer support requirements as we expanded our online sales. We needed not only a platform to ensure customer questions were answered in a consistent and timely manner, but also to track interactions over time. After demonstrating the effectiveness of the tools in our department, its footprint grew to include all customer service across the enterprise. Most recently, it has been identified as a preferred CRM solution in the business and we plan to grow usage as the team has matured.
- Provide a large number of methods to interact with customers
- Maintain logs of customer interactions
- Track time spent by agents across many segments, allowing us to see what brands, product categories, and other attributes take the most support effort
- Enterprise pricing includes a number of features we don't need, but we have to pay for in order to get a few key functions
- Text message support is there but limited
- Native chat widget for Vue Storefront is missing
- Connections that tie into Amazon and eBay messaging systems
- Reporting functions/automation
- Role-based access to ticketing system
- Time management tracking
- We are able to respond to all customer needs in a timely manner
- We are able to coach CSR's in their responses through all response channels
I have not used any other support software, but also evaluated FreshDesk. For our needs at the time, Zendesk was more polished and had the ability to support multiple websites in a single instance, while allowing customization for each brand separately. That was crucial to us, and is why we went with Enterprise.
