Speedy and helpful
What do you like best about the product?
The wait time to chat with an agent was brief. April helped me resolve the issue promptly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific comes to mind as far as dislikes go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zendesk is the most direct way we interact with our customers. Having access to customer history is extremely helpful.
Virtual customer support
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about the customer support options made available for their users is the vast knowledge base help forum. You can easily search for general topics/features that are documented by the technical support team as well as customer technical issues and feedback that have been addressed by the support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having the ability to directly speak to someone over the phone. You have to go through the virtual channels first before they can determine if a phone call is necessary. There are times when you have already done the investigation through the Zendesk help forums and outside sources. Corresponding through chat and email can take more time for critical issues when it's best to speak to someone directly over the phone that require more in depth conversation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Zendesk Support Suite has allowed us to compile our technical support team's tickets into useful monthly reports. The reports generated provide the details we need to display the metrics of our support team's productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As an admin agent within the software, take the time to go through the knowledge base to assist you with your general setup.
Quick Realtime Response
What do you like best about the product?
the response was fast and once the agent understood what I was struggling with they sent me the relevant articles so I could self-serve.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a bit of back and forth for the agent to understand my dilemma (it was around role permissions)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
communicating with our customers
Great for streamlining all our support requests
What do you like best about the product?
They've really nailed the request ticket workflow. We're yet to take full advantage of the tools and features available, but I can already see how easy it is to group incoming requests and assign to our agents.
What do you dislike about the product?
As you'd expect, there are limited capabilities on the lower tiers, but these are things I expected out of the box. You can't customise reports unless you upgrade, which means you can't gain insights from apps you install (like ticket timers). You need to go hard or go home when it comes to what features you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're removing backchanneling of requests by encouraging all contact to submit requests via Zendesk. We have improved the visibility of all in-progress tasks.
Pretty good overall, some clunkiness. Support is good.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the macros and views that I can personalise for my own work processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many emails! When a client starts a chat, an email is generated to support about that. When the chat actually starts, there's an email. When the chat ends, there's another email. Also, the chats don't have a way to pre-emptively add a title, so they are all "Chat with [name]" and we have to depend on all the agents renaming the resulting ticket with something descriptive. It would be nice if either the client could and/or the agent could do so. I add that the agent should be able to do so because I can't tell you how many emailed tickets are simply titled "Help" and then the ticket itself says, "Invoicing doesn't work." And nothing else. Time to put on the old deerhunter cap and get out the magnifying glass, Watson! We have a mystery to solve!
Also with the chat I don't like that I have to enter the chat to see what is being asked. I would prefer to be able to view the question before entering the chat so that I can prepare my answer. Sometimes I'll see a chat in English (I handle the English clients), but its actually from a Swedish clinic who only saw the English language help available so they wrote in English -- but about a feature unique to the Swedish clinics that I have no training on. But I don't see that until I'm already in the chat and then I have to go "Uh, can't help ya. Let me try and scare up someone who can." (more tactfully than that, of course) :)

Most of the tickets we get are answering "How to" questions, and the tickets raised by email are brilliant for that. The chat isn't as good, because you can't drag and drop images into the chat the same way. But at least there is the immediate back and forth. We feel that too many of the email tickets go silent because the receiver doesn't see them or they go to spam. But having the tickets has allowed us more flexibility to help other colleagues and to collaborate on sharing information via the Internal messages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very powerful and does a lot. But some of the transitions are a bit clunky and there are some 'expected' features or work processes missing. But if you want an industry-standard support application with a great customer service team, you can't go wrong with Zendesk.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not a good solution for risk and change management for complete itil framework. Some plugins are available to fill that gap but most aren't HIPAA compliant which we require.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer support across multiple websites and channels - Zendesk allows us to consolidate all support work.
We also use it for internal IT support as setting up multiple teams takes minutes.

Find the best suite level for yourself - start lower and upgrade as needed.
Fast replies, human touch, care.
What do you like best about the product?
quick replies and the feeling that they care about my issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
Queue times in live chat sometimes are really slow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Call center. Easy way to work on a few tickets at the same time, also the kb section is very useful.
The Industry Standard in Ticketed Support and Help Guides
What do you like best about the product?
I have found the support pretty helpful. I also think that I am getting quite a bit of functionality for a fairly low price.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times I have found it a bit difficult to use and not intuitive. The integrations don't always work as they should. For example, I would appreciate it if I could reply back to Slack from within Zendesk. I have also had trouble with with the Zoom integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing our best to manage ticket response times and get analytics around support requests. We would also like to make support feel more reliable but not impersonal. We are also using Zendesk to build a knowledge base integrated with the platform where responses are submitted. We are early in the process and it is yet to be seen what benefit we will realize.
A good resource to provide in org knowledge and information
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. Zendesk is a web application that has a simple interface. Zendesk is extremely robust as a helpdesk and service tool that allows for extensions and app intergrations. This creates an abundance of customization and the options to create a great helpdesk experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slight learning curve with almost anything, and this includes Zendesk. However, I would say the biggest learning curve is an administrator. If you are not familiar with operating helpdesk software it can be difficult building or customizing your own helpdesk for your company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use Zendesk's helpdesk features to assist customers with technical issues. I report issues to the Atlassian suite using a Atlassian suite extensions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check it out if you need a simple and robust web platform for your customer service or helpdesk it services. Easy to customize and get assistance from support at Zendesk

The answer time take a whole day, because of the time zone
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up the live chat, they help me better understand how to use the tool
