Overall Satisfaction with Zendesk Chat

We use it as a live chat for our customers who reach out with questions and issues. It's our primary point of contact for our customers and the area where we staff our Support Team the most. We have roughly 25 CSRs who use it daily. We answer simple questions and complex questions in it, and move things to an email if needed.

Pros

  • Pulling up customer information.
  • Shows the incoming chats with wait time.
  • Helpful dashboard.

Cons

  • Linking images is not clean.
  • Would love it if there could be a wait time added before a CSR receives a new chat instead of having to set themselves away.
  • Being able to adjust what messages take up the capacity.
  • We are able to respond to customers quickly and in real time.
  • We often get great customer reviews through our chats.
As mentioned previously, it's a clunky product that lacks user-friendliness. It feels old and behind the times compared to other products we have used. The inability to have a wrap-up time before a new chat comes in is also a big issue for our team.
ZD chat is much better at being streamlined with ZD email, obviously. but the functionality of Intercom and the way it worked was a lot cleaner. However, we use a round-robin style of messaging with our CSRs, and ZD chat does this much better.

Do you think Zendesk Chat delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Zendesk Chat's feature set?

Yes

Did Zendesk Chat live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Zendesk Chat go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Zendesk Chat again?

Yes

It's a great tool when you use email, phone, and chat, and it's all streamlined, but the product is a bit clunky, and the chat part is a bit finicky when you send images. As well, reading through the log of a message is hard to follow, and making that cleaner for managers to view would be ideal.
