Overall Satisfaction with Zendesk Support Suite

We use Zendesk to provide quality and efficient support to our B2B customers. It manages our end user tickets created via form or email as well as our knowledge base and customer support portal. Our team uses Zendesk to communicate with the end-users and with other team members on tickets.
  • Knowledge base.
  • Customization options.
  • Smart workflows.
  • Basic features only in higher editions.
  • Knowledge base themes are basic.
  • Can be tricky to implement.
  • Accessible pricing to get started.
  • Can get expensive quickly to access additional features.
  • Licenses for limited users (e.g. sales) are expensive for basic access.
Zendesk is more user-friendly than Salesforce Service Cloud, although Salesforce Essentials has very attractive pricing for including both the sales and service components. Freshdesk is a strong alternative, but we ended up going with Zendesk given its industry-leader status.

Did implementation of Zendesk Suite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Zendesk Suite again?

Yes

Zendesk excels at workflow management for tickets and customization options needed in more complex organizations. It lacks a bit in providing a full suite for smaller customers with simple features like customer satisfaction surveys only available in pricier editions. Its knowledge base is full-featured, but the default themes are a bit basic.
