Overall Satisfaction with Zendesk Chat

We use Zendesk Chat so that our customers can contact us with their problems easily and so that we can solve them as fast as possible, ensuring that we keep a log of all calls.
Zendesk also allows us to address various concerns, from onboarding to reporting, reconciliation of audits, as well as troubleshooting of its features to ensure that their operations don't get disrupted. If the issue continues to persist and it cannot be addressed whilst chatting, it gets converted into a ticket which will be responded via email.

Pros

  • Client connectivity is so easy
  • Easy ticketing for staff to be allocated issues
  • Managing the jobs that have been received
  • Remote viewing and access

Cons

  • Would love reminders of outstanding tickets
  • Ease of features
  • The 'ring' of new chats coming in is annoying and distracting.
  • Improved client communication and reputation
  • Excellent way to ensure work is streamlined for staff
  • Increased efficiency within the team
Zendesk Chat is suited for all the support teams that provide real-time assistance. Like if someone wants to block the debit/credit card, it is a high-priority case that needs real-time assistance. Whereas issues like close my account, and invoice request doesn't need real-time assistance, where Zendesk tickets support will be perfect.
Zendesk Chat allows a team to quickly answer straightforward questions. This can help a team manage more volume with the same amount of people, as one can handle multiple chats, but not multiple phone calls. It would not be helpful to use for full-on training or in a circumstance in which the question is overly complex, where a screen share would be better suited.
Zendesk Chat is far more user friendly than some of the other competitors on the market. It has a very all the features that you require to ensure your customers are contacted in 'real time'. Its main tools include a live chat interface for quick communication, customisable chat widgets to fit your brand, mobile responsiveness for all devices, and canned responses for common questions. The platform can also start chats based on visitor actions, like time on a page or exit intent. A real must for any leading company

We are a very busy company that receives a large number of queries and issues throughout the day and as a manager, Zendesk Chat allows me to allocate the tickets to suitable employees. You can add skill sets to each user, chat limit, agents, departments, roles, chat routings, shortcuts, and triggers. The analytics are updated in real-time, whereas other similar tools take a day or week.
