Overall Satisfaction with Zendesk Support Suite
Zendesk was used by our Support department to manage incoming email and tweet support requests. Our team would respond to users through Zendesk, and internally we used it to then pull metrics to better understand the number of requests, response time, survey responses, and common issues.
- Easy way to quickly triage email requests from our customers allowing others within the organization to see the history of their requests.
- Metric tracking: Zendesk allowed us to gain insight into a number of different metrics that we wanted to track for both effectiveness and user experience.
- Status holds: We could keep tickets open for users while hiding them internally as we waited to see if they had any follow-up questions.
- Categorizing: It wasn't easy for us to group requests by issue type within the product itself.
- Organization: There was no way to prioritize requests.
- At times, searching within a broad range was difficult to quickly get results.
- Metric tracking
- Surverying
- Department wide collaboration
- It allowed our support team to be fast and effective.
- Gives clear insight into support time for other departments.
- Allowed users to quickly access our Support team via email while reducing phone interactions.
We have switched from Zendesk to Service Cloud in order to align our support and Sales departments.
